  1. It's always about him isn't it. It's a WIN FOR TRUMP, supposedly? What he does is supposed to be a "WIN" for the American people. It is not. It's an embarrasement and does not represent the spirit of many Americans. Holding a country hostage,withholding aid for payment. Demanding a ransom for US help. I don't see it that way. Just shows he's trying to apply running a private business to the business of running a country. A country is NOT A BUSINESS. Is it a "WIN" for the people he represents? No, the USA should be an example of good will and global leadership. But what does Trump do. Make a small country PAY FOR THE HELP OF THE USA. And they are paying for their lives!! Holding a country hostage for help in war (US was giving help until Trump) and demanding a ransom in the form of "mineral rights".
  2. Be careful how you bring it in. If shipped via Fedex or other the import duties and tariffs can be a big hit financially. A friend of mine, without doing any research, did just that 6 years ago. Shipped all his gaming equipment, PC's etc.. Got hit with a $10,000 charge at Fedex. Don't do it unless you know exactly what the import duties will be!! I bring two suitcases and then buy what I need here, that is when I come from USA. I have traveled back and fourth 3 times. I sell what I bought. Usually a table, desk chair and kitchen stuff. It's cheap enough to just buy here and sell when you go back or store in storage.
  3. Hey! Why are you posting pictures of Bobs house? Let's have some privacy here please!
  4. That's for damn sure. Especially Jomtien Soi 5. Just try getting and initial Non-O for retirement converted from a LT tourist visa from that office. It's a real challenge to patience and tolerance IMHO. Chang Wattana, pretty easy and predictable. Jomiten Chonburi, not so much. "The Dragon Lady" is infamous for making poor farangs jump through hoops. (if she is still there)
  5. Care to share where? which office? Bangkok?
  6. Please, if you would, share where. Bangkok? Which office?
  7. Wow, you and Archie Bunker would make a great pair. How completely short sided and sophomoric can one be? How can you even think that your experience could even come close to someone else's? While biologically a man is a man and a woman is a woman, their mental state and why they identify as opposite their biological gender is something nobody but that person can experience. How completely un-empathetic and ill informed to think that a couple days of "talking to a shrink" would somehow make it all better or change them. Have you finally found a place where people understand just how important you think you are?
  8. Left-wing democratic principles parallel spirituality and the simple teachings of Christianity much more so than right-wing doctrine. Love they neighbor as thy self, for instance. Live and Let Live. Judge not lest ye be judged. Right wing folks would rather walk over homeless people and throw them in jail than to help them for example. Left wing folks mostly want to help those less fortunate. Show's how mixed up the right wing conservative parties morals and ideologies are.
  9. I have a hard time believing people are actually answering with details about their hygene habits LOL!! You got to be kidding right? Nobody is interested in how often you shower or take a dump hahaha 🤣
  10. If all you got is to call people names on this board then you might want to just lay off the keyboard. Inarticulate, less than complete sentence replies only serve to expose the ignorance of the author.
  11. "Still Winning" is almost on par with the open ended BS slogan he ran on "Make America Great Again" which is so vague as to include the hopes of bigots who wish slavery to return, women to find their place back in the kitchen and homosexuality to be outlawed. How did Archie Bunker put it? Them's were the days!! Still Winning? Anyone with half a brain understands that means NOTHING! Winning at feeding his own EGO .. maybe, if it can ever be satisfactory fed. All Trump has done is to disrupt the global economy. Anyone lucky enough to have a decent nest egg invested in a typical equities and bonds portfolio understand just how much they have "won". In my case about negative 10% Is that winning? Alienating America's allies in the global community? Is that winning? What a load of monkey spunk.
  12. Yea, are they not surprised? I mean come on. Is this some big shocker that drunk numbskulls arriving in droves to drink in the girly beer bars are gonna cause trouble? I mean this is nothing new. Netizens are up in arms? LOL come on. There is enough western TV and the like for them to have a pretty good idea of what they can expect from western tourists.
  13. Unfortunately the propaganda mills known as Fox News, News Max and the like have their viewership hooked on their scare tactic, hot button BS. A lot of slow thinking, scared and in many cases race prejudiced people drank the kool-aid with extra sugar and backed this inarticulate, sophomoric poser of a man into the highest office around. A true tragedy that will thankfully, and unfortunately inevitably end in multiple train wrecks that can't be ignored even by his most devoted fans. Then the US might have a chance of being floated back up from the depths of stupidity it's heading.
  14. Well, if that's the case then what is all the concern? If it's a condition of living abroad then, well it's a condition of living abroad and the decision to do so would be weighed with the pension amounts in mind along with additional income, health care and the like. What other concerns would there be?
  15. Hmmm, another reason why it may be a good idea to start requiring people have licenses to bear children.
