When you are dead you won't care. That's like saying the world would be a worse place if so or so hadn't been born- we wouldn't know what they did, so irrelevant.

Did you miss "knowing my luck". At Chiang Mai airport the office is tucked away to one side and easy to miss. I could have been in a rush and thought it was after immigration, by which time it'd be too late and need new visa. That didn't happen because I did it the day before I flew. Just because it's never a problem for 99% of travelers, still leaves the 1% that it is a problem for.

Last time I looked, trumps kids have been openly selling access to trump from day one. That's whataboutism. Topic is Hunter Biden, not Trump.

Up to them. Knowing my luck, I'd be late and there would be 50 people in line ahead of me.

Ah, is the excuse going to be that some completely unknown person took classified documents from Biden's time as VP and unknown to Biden or anyone in Biden's staff placed them in his own garage. I can only hope the GOP pursue this to the same extent as the Dems did with everything pertaining to Trump ( I'm pretty sure they will ). I expect this event has given some impetus to the GOP, who have been somewhat on the back foot recently. One wonders how the response would have looked had the Dems won the House ( actually one is pretty sure it would have been quietly ignored ).

LOL. If Biden really had "forgotten" about the known documents, what is to say he hasn't "forgotten" about others elsewhere? If the Archives didn't know the documents were missing surely it's time for an investigation of that apparently incompetent organisation.

Indeed, many armed police storming the locations would be a suitable response IMO.

This IS getting better and better. After all the vitriol against Trump for the past few months for the same thing, it's amazing that so many seem willing to cover for Biden.

I wouldn't. I'd rent all the huts on Than Sadet and populate them with 20 to 30 year olds that look great in bikinis.

Hardly. If you are an old fella ( 50+ ) try getting a lovely 20 year old girlfriend in a woke western country, unless Mick Jagger or similar.

There's a better Shangri La than Thailand? Do tell.

Massive pollution so people can use stupid phones and electric cars. what's good news about that?

Absolutely fine with me. See if he likes it living same as average people.

That will be determined by the special counsel, not you or I.

In Pattaya I once attended an expat meeting, not one welcomed me as a potential member. Never went back. Most expats I met while out walking ( in places farangs were a rarity ) studiously looked the other way to avoid meeting my eyes. Why would I even want to get to know people like that?

Lack of culture in LOS???????? Place is full of culture. The UK, plenty of culture in London, but not English. Hard to meet an Englishman/ woman in London when I lived there. I lived the dream in LOS and I'll miss it till my last breath.

I'm all agog to see how this will be explained away, given the furore over Trump's possession of classified documents. Perhaps that good old Thai saying, same same but different!

Oh dear, did the US do the wrong thing cancelling the space shuttle program? Who would have guessed they'd end up having to rely on those pesky Russians?

LOL. I wouldn't spend time on a golf course unless I was paid to be there ( golf- now that's a boring game ), when traveling I often went where other farangs didn't go, and when in beer bars why on earth would I talk to farangs? About the only time I talked to farangs was when traveling in the back of a baht bus.

I miss almost everything ( I definitely don't miss immigration ) about LOS, but other farangs there, never. Had I wanted to associate with farangs I'd have stayed in home country.

I will never understand any farang that complains of being bored in LOS and has to leave the country because of that. IMO it's the least boring safe country to live in that I've ever lived in. I fail to see why anywhere else would be "not boring" in comparison. One of life's mysteries I guess. There is a great deal wrong with LOS, but it sure beats any western country I've lived in as a place to enjoy life, and that's not just about the women or nightlife ( though both are far, far better than the meager offerings here ). I explored much of LOS and never failed to enjoy my trips.

What's of more importance to me than him having the documents, which could be irrelevant to anything, is that the media didn't break the story before the mid terms, and the authority that handles such is apparently incompetent.

It's obvious that only "bad man" can be guilty as "good man" couldn't possibly break any laws, even if caught doing so. Sarcasm alert for those devoid of sense of humour.

You've been here almost half a decade? That's less than 5 years. Fixed it for you.

I wish posters would use baht. It's not whatever country one comes from that uses $ ( ie not just the US ) and exchange rates change. I'd be interested in how much you were paying for the place, but no idea what $600 is in baht, given I have no idea of which country's $ it is.
