Elon Musk's Brother Once Revealed "We were illegal immigrants"
black tabby12345 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Musk's immigration status at the time of founding his first company, Zip2, remains murky. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in 1980s, I have heard that people could actually obtain US Permanent Residency(Green Card) through the backdoor at $10000- Unsure how true it really was. If anyone among you know much about it, please post. -
the construction worker, whose identity has not been disclosed, was gathering his belongings and seeking refuge under cover as heavy rain began to fall in the area. Unfortunately, as he took shelter, a lightning strike hit the vicinity, resulting in his untimely death. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Might be an undocumented migrant worker from the neighboring country. Another sudden, tragic death of young life. Heartfelt condolences to the poor soul. Also sorry for his/her remaining family member back home. As well as their (financial) hardship to come(by the loss of earner). They might not be even able to know about the death of own son or father...

Elderly Swiss man busted with gun at Phuket Airport
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Thanks for your input regarding the historic change of Gun Laws in Thailand. Is it true that it was 1970s when Thai govt started to restrict foreigners' gun ownership here? That's something I read back in late 1970s. -
Russia's Subversive Campaign on British Streets: MI5's Warning
black tabby12345 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Is Poo-tin plotting any terror attacks in Europe? Quite a silly thing to do. It will only cause adverse effect; their anti-Russia sentiment will only get stronger instead of weaker. Can lead to more aid to Ukraine. -
Before I am eligible for current retirement O(by visa status change), I have always travelled by bus for visa run to Thai-Burmese border. As well as for tourist visa application @Thai embassy in Vientiane. Bus attendants were often busy passing soft drinks and snacks to the passengers for onboard refreshment. Poor soul, rest in peace. Heartful condolences from the former bus traveler...

Foreign Tour Operators Flood Phuket, Taking Jobs from Locals
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
The video quickly sparked outrage online, with many expressing frustration over foreigners taking over jobs typically held by Thai locals. Commenters voiced their concerns, some describing Phuket as a “lawless land” and pointing out that this issue has persisted for a long time. Others noted the growing presence of foreign operators in popular areas like Kata and Karon and questioned why authorities haven’t intervened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thailand's No-Foreigners Business list according to the Foreign Business Act 1999: The Press, radio broadcasting station or radio and television station business Rice farming, plantation or crop growing Livestock farming Forestry and timber processing from a natural forest Fishery, only in respect of the catchment of aquatic animals in Thai waters and specific economic zones of Thailand Extraction of Thai medicinal herbs Trading and auction sale of antique objects of Thailand or objects of historical value of the country . Making or casting Buddha images and monk alms-bowls Land trading As far as seen from that lists, Tour Operator is not included. Can they still expect the intervention of Thai govt while they are not violating any laws? If any expert among the readers, please share your knowledge. I am no expert to this topic.

Israel VS Hamas. Battle between one evil and another. My total impression after all. -

Thai Hostages Still Missing a Year After Hamas Attack

One is locked up at gun/knife point; with death threat. Another is locked up in poverty. No immediate death unlike the above case. But just like socially tortured relentlessly. Just a matter of facing instant death. Or facing slow painful death... Misery level Olympic(an attempt to justify one bad by accusing another bad). Your favorite sport? Can be part of human nature. But very hard to look at when you do it openly, visibly, repeatedly. Better keep it to yourself, instead of sharing. -

Very interesting. Posting texts often clearly give away their real nature(including racism, justification of the Silent Violence that makes this world miserable). -
Thai Hostages Still Missing a Year After Hamas Attack
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry to say: Quoting one bigger evil(e.g war crime). It will not really beautify any other forms of institutionalized violence(evil acts in the system at peace time; such as over economic exploitation). Some crimes are simply more visible than others(not involving military attack on civilian population). That is nothing to be bragged/justified. They are both ugly wrongdoings; only in different shapes That's all. -

Brutality. That is one thing they commonly exercise. Nothing more. Nothing less. Neither party looks no better in real term after all. I am not a reporter; simply quoting what I felt. End of story. -

Modern day cunningly disguised colonialism/slave labor lookalike. Looks like both Israel & Hamas are just evenly brutal in the way they treat people from outside... -

Are you looking for elsewhere that is lot cooler than BKK? If so, how about Loei(unsure about its major towns)? I have heard it is the Coolest Region in Thailand(average annual temperature).

Thai people often don't hesitate to be photographed by the strangers when approached in a friendly manner. I am in Chiang Mai, and recently photographed a young pair(man & woman) in an ancient costume the park. Their clothing looked impressive and interesting. So I asked them for permission to take a few photos. I was a total strangers to them. But they happily said OK. This kind of response is not rare in this kingdom. Same applies to their pets(cats & dogs) while they are walking these small animals with them.
