Switching from savings to fixed deposit for retirement extension
The closest immigration office doesn't matter. You go to the office that matches your province, even if there is another one closer. I have gone to the Immigration office in Pittsanulok, which is outside my province, Phetchabun. The one in Phetchabun is closer to me, so I go there.

Despite Friendly Talk, Mamdani Insists Trump Is a Fascist
You are the result of a failed education. Well, I guess then that those who run Wikipedia are also... "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe. Fascism is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism, fascism is at the far-right of the traditional left–right spectrum." ~ Source, Wikipedia. That's a perfect description of Trump's presidency.

Switching from savings to fixed deposit for retirement extension
The short answer is yes, but I advise you to confirm that with your Immigration Office. Unfortunately, I’ve found that not all Immigration Offices follow the same rules. I switched from 800K baht to monthly deposits over 65K baht about two years ago. Everything has worked out okay. And I don’t need "fixed" deposits, each of the same amount from the same source. I just have to make at least one deposit of over 65K baht during the month.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Quits Congress After Trump Clash
I'm certainly not a fan of MTG, but I don’t think she’s done this just because she ran afoul of Trump. I think there’s more to her resignation than we know now. It could be bad news for her, like she or someone in her immediate family is sick, or it could be good news in that she’s planning to run for a more prestigious office, although she said today she’s not interested in becoming president.

Have you ever felt unsafe in Thailand
No, and I've lived here for over 20 years - in Bangkok, Koh Samui, and now in the mountains near the city of Phetchabun.

Why are some people so desperate to stay in Thailand?
None of the answers above. I'd say I like (not "desperate") living in Thailand (for over 20 years now) because: - Less costly - Better weather

what would be the result if a rat got into an electric cars wire
I live up in the mountains in northeastern Thailand. My house has an open garage underneath it. My truck is constantly invaded by mice They chew wires and water lines. They also get inside and chew on the seatbelts and seats. I have two mousetraps in my car, and usually catch a mouse once a week, but they just keep coming! 🥹

West Bank: Unprecedented Settler Attacks Fuel Hostilities
Yes, a Jew or anyone could be anti-Semitic. In fact, from what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank right now, I'd say many Jews are anti-Semitic." (Oh, and I suggest you look up the word "Semite" online before you respond...) 😐

Epstein File Release Moves to Senate After 427–1 House Vote
I believe if (now "when") these files are released, they will have so many redactions (blacked-out text) that they will not reveal much. Of course, it's possible the redactions will only be Republican names, not Democrats’. 🥺

West Bank: Unprecedented Settler Attacks Fuel Hostilities
No, I’ve never been to Israel or Gaza. I've gathered all my knowledge on this issue from CNN and online sources. I’ve never watched Al Jazeera, but I have read just a few of their articles. I’ve read many more articles from Israeli sources. The issue is pretty clear to me: both sides want to push the other out of the territory that used to be called Palestine, and the Israelis have the larger army, so they are about to achieve their objective. I believe all other countries should encourage the two parties to reach a two-state solution. I’d recommend starting with the original 1947 division of the territory. You are a bigot and anti-Semitic. 😞

Naked Foreigner on Motorcycle Alarms Kamphaeng Phet Residents
I just can't understand why some men do this! Intoxication can't be the answer. I suspect they must be on some kind of hallucinogen, like LSD. 😲

West Bank: Unprecedented Settler Attacks Fuel Hostilities
No, you are a bigot. Israelis have been trying to drive Palestinians out of their land ever since the UN gave them about half of Palestine in 1947. Israelis want ALL the land, and are committing a genocide of the Palestinians to achieve that. Anyone, like you, who doesn't see what's happened over the past 75 years is a bigot and an anti-Semite. 🥵

White Temple in Chiang Rai to Double Entry Fee for Foreigners
Yes, I agree again! I'm not "trying (and failing) to be either funny or clever." I'm SUCEEDING at being BOTH funny and clever! 🙂 And, you might try looking up how to use the terms "either" and "neither."

neither word is appropriate Yes! I finally agree with a comment you have written. Neither of the words I listed above is "appropriate'; one is "astute" and the other is "sarcasm." 😉

How about "astute"? That's probably a better description of my comment than "sarcasm." 😉

White Temple in Chiang Rai to Double Entry Fee for Foreigners
Nah you are getting confused with alcohol sales, did you start early today to "beat the ban" ? No, I didn't get up today any earlier than I usually do. I suggest you start a little earlier than usual tomorrow, and look up the word "sarcasm" online. 🙄

Stranded Astronauts Safe After Return Delayed by Space Debris
Yes, we are polluting space, our moon, and other planets. This is just what we (humans) do. We are like a cancer on the Earth. If we ever do go to Mars to establish a colony there, that would be "colonizing," but should be called "metastasizing." 😞
