Big C Food Court Rip-Off
I once had 4 cards for various reasons, had to leave country for family problem, came back 3 months later and cards didn’t work, nice lady at counter typed something in and added all four cards to one new one, smiled and said I needed to add ‘something’ so it will work, added 500 baht and all was well. So it is possible. After that I made it a rule to always cash out after eating, I might not be so lucky the next time. BTW, I once had a couple Rabbit Cards, 2 years old, they were caught in storage, was able to use them without a hitch

Thaksin's Pardon Rejected, Ex-PM to Serve Full Sentence
Because they are not the threat Mr Taksin is, he knows where all the skeletons are buried, who buried them, and probably helped bury some of them himself. Normal for Thailand, he will be out of sight, out of mind for awhile, rthen be told that Thailand is not big enough for him and the rest of the old condors, and fly back to Dubai, for good this time.

Thailand Retains Tier 2 in US Trafficking Report for 4th Year
Actually it was Kilo Sip outside Uthapao Air Base in the Sixties/Seventies, They closed Kilo Slip and reopened in a small city between Ban Chang and Rayong named “FreeLand," nothing but bars, resturants, whorehouses. Pattaya didn’t come on-line until the Thai Army Bulldozed/closed FreeLand. So I am told 😆

What would happen if Israel lost America’s support?
Hezbulah would take its place, it s a never ending story with Hamas and Hezbulah. Custer's last stand comes to mind, when all the tribes came together to defeat the USArmy. If there is one thing that unites the Arabs, it’s the possibility of war with israel.

When one Marry’s into a SE Asian family, they have to understand before hand that they are marrying the family as well. But, what you have done is create something the family can work in and earn their own money, making them self sufficient - thats the ticket in any successful marraige. Good for you.

Passport validity ends, new one hasn't arrived
It's taking American Passports 9-13 weeks to issue now, took me a long time to get mine, and had to fight to get the old one back, my banks needed to see my old passport first, in order to change to the new one. FYI keep your old passport with you and a copy of your new arrival card and visa stamp, this way your actual passport is safe from loss or stolen. Been doing this for decades, Thai Police only want to see a real passport, doesn’t matter if it is expired or not. Worked for me several times.
