You are right, But a Tamarind tree is very messy. I had one near my wife's sisters house which is the property next to us, and we had to cut it down. It made a mess with the leaves it dropped , and the seeds. and It was occupied by farmer ants, Amy time you walk under it, the ants freedived on you and AUCH!!

Believe it or not , when activating your smile muscles it changes your brain chemistry, "When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Then other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins come into play too. The endorphins act as a mild pain reliever, whereas the serotonin is an antidepressant.

There is even evidence that faking a smile makes positive changes to your brain chemistry " when the participants simply mimicked a smile, they felt happier.

"Legislative, executive, and judicial," -Do you know which branch the president belongs to? -Are familiar with the separation of power under the constitution? -Do you claim that the president is acting unconstitutional? -If so ,why are you not upset at the republicans who control the House, for not bringing up articles of impeachment and/or bringing the case to the Conservative at this time Supreme Court? -Do you know the role of a grand jury ? " to determine whether or not there is probable cause to believe that one or more persons committed a certain Federal offense within the venue of the district court." -Are you familiar how a Grand jury is formulated ? " Grand jurors are selected from the same pool of ordinary citizens who serve as trial jurors." -You do know that a Grand Jury recommended the indictment?

Under your theory , ex presidents are above the law and can never be prosecuted for any crime they commit, because there is sitting president that might be a potential rival. I await with bated breath for your answers.

Another Thai inefficiency. Makes no sense!! If they asked me I would tell them to trained the ducks to fly to Australia and cook them there? But does anyone ask me? Noooo

Same in Khon Kaen. In and out in five minutes.

I won't hold my breath. Well actually I might have to In all seriousness they need to deal with polluting vehicles, I see cars and trucks spewing black smoke every day.

Rather than cutting the weeds, the set them on fire, I see it all the time during the dry season, yet the cops don't see it. Setting the fields on fire. especially sugar cane. Burning garbage ,etc. They need to develop a viable garbage collection system. What are people supposed to do with their garbage? In our village we have, and the burning of garbage has decreased substantially, but some people are too lazy to put their garbage in bags and take it to the corner to be picked up once a week. The authorities are just paying lip service. And then there is the problem of neighboring countries, Air pollution does not stop at the border. So there needs to be regional cooperation.

IMO , the US is a major cause of Nuclear proliferation. Gaddafi, did not have them and we all know what happen to him. Kim Jong Un has them and grows fat.

Not as easy as saying a couple oh hail Marys, saying spraying a bit of holly water and saying " I cast thy out demon" But what I posted in my previous post sounded like a pretty straight forward process. Make an application, prove that he is not around. make an attempt to warn him about the impending divorce proceedings in a Thai newspaper , a typicality because the farang does not even know the newspaper exists and even if he did, he could not read it. How much easier do you want it? Open the window and shout "I AM NO LONGER MARRIED"?

This is information I got researching the issue on the internet, I never pursued the issue independently because I don't have any interest in retiring there.

Chat GPT answer "In Thailand, a Thai wife can seek a divorce if her farang husband abandons her and refuses to provide care and support. The process usually involves filing for divorce at the local district office or the Family Court. The wife needs to provide evidence of abandonment as well as a valid reason for seeking a divorce. If the husband is not present in Thailand and cannot be located, the court may order an announcement or publication to be made in a local newspaper in an attempt to notify him of the divorce proceedings. The wife may also need to gather additional evidence to support her claims, such as witnesses or other documentation. Once the court grants the divorce, the wife may be entitled to property or financial support from the husband, depending on the specific circumstances of the case. "

Some of the place such as Spain, Portugal , Malta and Greece are particularly attractive to Britons since brexit for attaining a EU member passport and easy access to the EU community. For an real-estate investment for a certain amount depending on the country (Greece is 250k euros it is called the golden visa,) you get permanent residency and after 5 years in Greece you are eligible for citizenship and a Greek passport, in Malta is only 110 K Euro investment but there is a longer wait for citizenship. Spain is attractive to Britons because it is closer to the UK but their golden visa requires 2,000,000 euros investment, etc. As I said Portugal was attractive for many reasons and close to the UK but they are eliminating their golden visa option , I think the objection was that locals were being priced out of the market. Anyway food for thought as plan B to Thailand

I see Portugal at #3 I remember reading that legislation has passed tat eliminates the golden visa program some time this year. If that's true they better hurry.
