You have such an exciting and adventurous life. Thanks for sharing. I was missing Bob and here you are! Keep those stories coming dude.

Bro, there are a lot of ovulating and triggered farangs in this forum. They are waiting for a post so that they can trigger and ovulate. Be careful here :):):)

I didn't want to write the "R" word.

All props are send for voting and you can pass anything in California as long s they are proposed by a Dem state senator. It will not pass in many other states/counties/cities. The Castle doctrine is still in effect, however, the law officers and DAs seldom prosecute the criminals. This is the reality. You can call me right wing extremist or whatever you want, but it will not change the facts. Like I said, I collected the data from the listed websites and I compiled and presented to you. Can't you comprehend that? Being woke is a mental illness and it affects critical thinking and reason. Go watch CNN and enjoy

Here are the sources I have used to collect and compile the data. 1. https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/. Tab data explorer. You should be able to navigate from there, find and compile data. 2. https://www.safewise.com/blog/most-dangerous-cities/ 3. https://counciloncj.org/crime-trends-in-u-s-cities-year-end-2024-update/ 4. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/24/what-the-data-says-about-crime-in-the-u-s/ Secondly, the policies of the ruling party literarily affect everything and every of the communities we live in. Such policies explicitly implemented using legislation or as given to the enforcement authorities as unwritten guidance. Here is an example for you. Proposition forty-seven legislated in California made shoplifting or any theft under $ 950 as a misdemeanor. Anybody arrested literarily send home free and DA does not prosecute. The effect is that all stored literarily lock up their merchandise and hire security guards to prevent theft. However, the increased cost of goods is nicely transferred to the consumers. If passed AB 1333, literarily make self-defense a crime. A DAs can prosecute you at their will. Policies implemented will affect the quality of your life, your freedom, and your liberty.

Of course he will based on his agenda. ROFL

NYC? She should be happy that she is still alive and was not violated physically

This man was removed from his position in 2008 for proven corruption. The charges proven were " Seripisut was removed from his position as Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police in April 2008 by then-Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej, under charges of corruption. The specific details of these corruption allegations are not fully detailed in the provided sources, but they were significant enough to lead to his dismissal." . "During his time as police chief, Seripisut was involved in high-profile disputes, including a libel case. In 2006, he was sued by Major General Khattiya Sawasdipol, who won a libel suit against Seripisut, though the specifics of the case are not fully outlined."

In what language this test will be?

Follow the money!

It is funny to see how farangs down vote anybody say anything against the standard narratives.

I was wondering how he spend that much money

As of March 10, 2023, approximately 82.8% of the Thai population had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while about 45 million people, or roughly 64% of the population, had completed a two-dose vaccination protocol. I bet most of the new cases are from the vaccinated folks. I am surprised that the ineffective Faucci mask is back. Pandemic Treaty is being signed and prepare for new vaccines. Pharma needs money

So, e-tourist visa seems like the best option due to this uncertainty.

My experience in the US was the doctors pumping medications. Nobody talk about diet, exercise and improve immunity. Vitamin D, Zinc, Selenium etc can boost immunity along with vitamin C. I am glad that my doctor is cool and tell me to eat clean food and exercise.

All vaccinated people will have higher probability to get infected. IMHO, This is another scam to sell vaccines. Health scare is the tool to control masses.

Hey Bob, when did you become a Harrisfan?

Since Thai is a high-context tonal language, it is hard for westerners to it speak fluently. Emphasizing on the context of the conversation using specific words and phrases seems helpful to me.

Entitled Farang!

USA many not be a big trading partner like China, yet Thailand imports quiet a bit of commodities . US can play a significant role to further change Thailand into an industrial economy. However, the total import cost ( Tariffs, Taxes, fees and other expenses added to the cost of a products) is significantly higher and Thailand had a free roll so far. Negotiating with USA is a good deal for Thailand. However, Thailand should look into their overvaluation of their currency. It will make farangs happy in the long term.

It was almost 37 THB to a $ almost a year ago. It was consistently trading at 36 THB to a a $ at an average for 2 years. IMHO, the THB is over valued. Here again, who knows how all of these things will hash out eventually. Undervalued THB is good for the Farangs:):)

Time for Thailand to choose friends and foes. In 2023, Thailand's trade deficit with China reached a record high of $36.6 billion, driven by imports exceeding exports, with Thailand importing $105 billion worth of goods from China while exporting only $69 billion. Thailand had trade surplus with the US was45 billion.

Thailand charges overall 72% tariff on imports from USA. In 2024, the US goods trade deficit with Thailand was $45.6 billion, a 11.7% increase from 2023, with U.S. goods imports from Thailand totaling $63.3 billion. Thailand had a $35.4 billion trade surplus with the United States in 2023. Reciprocal Tariff is only 36% from the USA.
