I've noticed the results of this in a lot of Thai men. Beaten down and discouraged.

I had problems like this earlier this year during all of the air pollution. Increasing the humidity in the house helped, constant mopping of the floors helped a little (got rid of the layer of particles). But a week of taking Ivermectin is what let me recover. It gave me a break and chance to heal. However, your problem may be something different. If you can, try running a shower and make your home or room really humid. If you get relief, maybe try the above.

What's your recipe and coffee brand? I haven't been able to make a good cup of coffee with mine.

This news made the Thai baht weaker to the US dollar. Does this reflect the people think Thailand will be hurt by this, such as by losing the transshipments, or is it because the US dollar is stronger due to a favorable trade deal being accomplished?

I agree on this. Maybe that's why the Thai military has been so restrained - they are protecting civilians but realize there is personal stuff going on. Supposedly Hun Sen started positioning his military in February, which is when Thailand inexplicably sent some of the Uyghurs back to China, so maybe that country is somehow involved also.

This is true, but people like my sister-in-law desperately wanted her daughter to be educated here in Bangkok and it was stunningly awful. I talk to that girl and I know she's not dumb and she even has some sort of college degree, but she can barely read. Forget about having her read beyond two sentences - she just spaces out. I think there's something that actively harms the students in the education system/culture here. Critical thinking and curiosity can't be taught because they are natural, but they can definitely be taken away and that seems to happen a lot.

Thanks. Good point about all these other places having copies. I wasn't sure if a US passport had more information or "value" in it.

A couple of times now I've been asked by Cannabis sellers to take a picture of my US passport. I declined, they were cool with it, and I completed my purchase. My understanding is that they need to do this as part of the new regulations. If they strictly enforce it, is it a bad thing to let photos of my passport be floating around?

Based on this recommendation I ordered one last night. I thought it was good, and for sure the best I've had in Thailand. It wasn't sweet, the crust had the right amount of chewy, and it had enough cheese. Not as good as the best US ones. The 12-inch pizza was 500 baht, which seemed like a bit much, but I'll keep an eye out for specials and order again.

I similar experience with two Thai veterinarians. I didn't realize there were cultural aspects to this, but they definitely did not like being questioned. It was simply buy the pills they were selling and follow orders.

You might consider buying a Chromebook off of Amazon. If Trump gets Thailand to lower its tariffs, the cost will go down in August. Chromebooks are basically just browsers with a keyboard, but if you aren't running local apps it is fine. Lightweight, and long battery life.

Is this more of a boomer war? The older Thais around me want to kill all the Cambodians, but the younger ones aren't that interested in any of it.

I asked Bangkok Bank (two years ago) if I could do this and they said no.

Other reports said the hospital was already evacuated, so why would the Thai soldiers be in there waiting for an attack? In the video, it doesn't look like the hospital itself was hit, and the camera person seems to not feel a need to duck down. Staged? Did Cambodia give a heads up about it? But civilians are definitely dying, so I'm not suggesting the whole thing is fact.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. My main account with the visa money is in Bangkok Bank and I never touch it. Right now for "scan" I use my wife's Bangkok Bank account that is on the app on my phone. I keep hearing how the app is being disabled for people with a SIM card that doesn't match the name of the account they use, so I want a second account for the day-to-day stuff. Kasikorn?
