I use the 1 baht water for cooking and tea/coffee, but I'd still like to know which ones have filters.

 

To the experts out there, does the speed of water out the machine tap indicate whether it's filtered or not? sometimes slow, sometimes superfast as if straight from the mains

That depends, because the reverse osmosis filter needs a lot of pressure to push the water through, some systems store a few liters to dispense.

They will give a ticket at traffic stops if you don't have it on. I wouldn't think they would cut them off.

78 and still working in construction, obviously in a clerical role , and part time hours? 

Surely not full 38/40 hour week at your age ?

No, 6 hrs is good for me. I can still work on the roof, although I know if I fall--- it's the end of me! It is a bit of mind over matter. I guess I refuse to accept my age.

Did the knobs whose incompetence caused 13 service deaths under Biden get fired?

 

Didn't think so.

 

 

You did it first! No, I didn't! Yes, you did! No, I didn't! Really? Or is it you did it so we can too? What happened to "two wrongs don't make a right?"

Wher is the place to vote he shouldn't have been given the job in the first place!

does she support hamas? yes/no answer only

No! She only supported Palestines, no  mention of Hamas. As far as I know Palestine people are not designated enemies of the US.

You are correct and I think it's safe to say that Trump is the most thin skinned, sensitive, revengeful, and reactionary president America has ever seen. Hopefully, looking towards the future a mistake of this proportion will never happen again. 

Just make sure she doesn't have an opinion about anything.

America today

Neither her nor the school was informed that they had revoked her visa.

Wait for the second video to see the ravings of a madman!

As I mentioned in another post. I know of one woman who had a 10 year tourist visa that was allowed in, but was told her 10 year visa was being voided and she would have to reapply. I don't think you will have a problem.

This is what the reply I have been looking for. Your wisdom and insight is much cherished here. 

Too many burned people here. Life is risky, sure, but don't believe everyone has had the same luck as you or the people you choose to hang with.

My wife and I live on what would be poverty in the States. She had the property, I paid for the house. We live on my SS check and I am getting richer by the day from my savings and investments. If the woman has a house, I think she would be happy for the 40,000+bht a month.

I just saw the video of the arrest at Tufts. It looks like 7 masked ICE arresting an international graduate student at Tufts on the street. They handcuffed her and took her away. Neither the school nor her lawyer know where she is at. Her visa was terminated without her or the school being informed. Her crime was signing a petition asking the school to condemn Israel's attacks in Gasa.

Here is the video

why would you want to travel to the US with all the crap going on at the moment with ICE. legit visas being cancelled in the Immigration systems and people trying to enter the USA LEGALLY being arrested, placed in a detention center for up to 14 days AND put in chains before being deported.  At the very least wait until the convicted orange felon is no longer dictator/emperor of the US.

No need! They have already started to blame Biden for it! 

Nope--- I just saw they have picked one

A head needs to roll but not at the top, they just have to choose which staffer.

So it was taken away from her on arrival at the airport in the US and she was sent back?   That seems outrageous!  

No, They let her in but told her she couldn't use it anymore.

Was that when she applied for another visa after she'd used up the 10 years on the first visa?  

No, it was on her second visit. She had the visa for only two years.

We have some growing here. I couldn't find a translation from Thai. My wife says there are two kinds, one very sour (somsa) and the other (somking) sweeter. They make desserts with it.

I also tried the tourist visa route for my wife two times. It's a crapshoot. I know a young woman who got a 10 year. I have no idea what she did to get it, but on her second trip to the US they took it away and told her she would have to re-apply.

 If you are in Thailand you may be able to get her a greencard in 4 months. Anyway that was how I did it before the latest administration.
