My cat brings in cockroaches to play with. Half escape in the house.

I would say all drugs should be legalised or at the least decriminalised. Would you rather the criminals, mafia, crime families to be running the drug trade leading to corruption of police, politicians, judges, murders, blackmail, including other related crime in weapon sales, large numbers (up to 80%) of people in prisons for drug related crime.. Or.. having it controlled by the government, where people could get education, drug rehabilitation, not tear families apart, better relations of public with police, more time for police to fight real crime? There should be sensible laws to control of drugs like making it a crime for the seller, selling to children under 18 Drugs are a health issue, the war on drugs has been a horrible failure. What on earth is to be gained making them illegal. Many people that go to jail start using hard drugs in jail. If they can't keep drugs out of jails, how do you think making them illegal will stop people them using them or keep them out of society. The more crackdowns of drugs, the higher the cost of drugs become, the more incentive there is for people to sell drugs. There would also be a lot less muggings in the street, scams, house breakings, and insurance policy prices would naturally drop. If someone wants to use drugs, making them illegal will not stop them from using them. Look at the current situation we find ourselves in. Try thinking outside the box. If someone wants to overdose on heroin, well let them, they will and can do it now. Think of the amount of money that would be saved which could be used for rehabilitation and educating people what the drugs do their body, brain and family life. Ex heroin addicts should be going around schools to educate the young from using drugs and where they could end up.

I was one that had problems with wise a couple of months ago. It took 1 week for the transfer. They said they were having problems with their partner bank in Thailand. That was all sorted I've transferred money since then and it goes through incredibly quick. As ID I think it was just passport, that wasn't complicated, went through quickly. That was about 9 months ago. I only ever had the one problem, but that would not put me off wise. I did download Remitly as a backup. It seems to be quite good similar rates to wise, but one good thing is you can send money without it having to go into an account. You can pick up at any bank you nominate. You can even have it delivered to your door. Has anyone ever used Remitly? Looks like home delivery isn't for Thailand. From their site. Bank deposit Bank deposit is the best option if you have a bank account and want to save the money or withdraw cash when you need it. Cash pickup If you don't use a bank account or just prefer to use cash, this is a great option. Find a nearby pickup location that works best for you, then collect your cash using a picture ID and a reference number. Mobile money If you use an app on your phone to pay for what you need, receiving money directly in the mobile money app of your choice might be the most convenient option. Home delivery If you live in the Dominican Republic, Philippines, or Vietnam, you can have cash delivered directly to you by courier. This option works great if you live in a rural area or it's not easy for you to get to a nearby cash pickup location.

You forgot the Christians, Buddhists and all the other religions living in Israel. Easier, just say you are anti Semitic and ban Jews.

This video is by an Iranian ex Muslim to give you a perspective on what and why the war is happening

A great video about the mentality of HAMAS, islamists and jahidists explained by an ex Muslim Iranian.

I would guess escaped is more appropriate as normally at drug rehabilitation centers they would not want you to leave. Some may have been sentenced by the courts to go there. If they had just decided just to leave, I doubt whether the police would have been called.

Wazz, you shouldn't start drinking so early. It will kill you.

I guess you don't ride a motorcycle, if you do, you shouldn't.

Ok, it finally arrived. 🥳 6 days. I then immediately transfered another $3000 Au to my Thai account, took 15 seconds.. faith restored 🙏🏻🦘🫰🏻 Looks like their problem is fixed.

Last Wednesday 29th of May, I did a money transfer using Wise. It was only my 3rd transfer using this method, the other 2 times had been excellent, with the money arriving from my Australian Bank account to my Kasikorn,Thai Bank within minutes, and very low fees. This time unfortunately I am still waiting for my money, I have been getting them to call me daily from the wise app, using the help option. Each day they say it will be tomorrow, and they have sent it, but there is a problem with their partner bank in Thailand and it keeps bouncing and getting sent back. Last Friday the did say it would be Monday it should come, They say many other people are also having these problems too. I rang Kasikorn Bank and they told me that other people had also rung them about the same problem, and the problem was with the partner bank. I also need to transfer my 65000 baht for my living expenses and visa requirements but now am worried if I do that now I will have the same problem. Also, with my initial transfer, they told me how much Australian dollars I needed to send to get 16,900 baht which I needed extra last month. Instead of it being transferred to my bank, it went into my wise credit. Then I needed to transfer it from my wise credit to my Thai bank account which incurred extra fees. They have told me they can't wave the fees. I believe this happened because of the problem with their partner Bank and it couldn't be sent directly to my Kasikorn and account. The extra fees don't worry me because they are very minor, I always had used Citibank Australia, but now NAB has taken them over and when I used them before Wise, the first transfer caused me a week of headaches, and much higher fees, so I don't want to use this option if I can help it. When I look on wise.status it said they had problems on the 21st and 22nd of May but they were resolved each time in about 2 hours. It states from the 23rd onwards there have been no reported incidents which is untrue. Has anyone tried to transfer money using Wise between May 29th and now? If so, what was the outcome? Thanks

I know you said Bangkok but I needed many root canal, implants and crowns. I first had work done 7 years ago in Mumbai India. Top of the line implants $400 Au 15 year warranty cheaper ones $200 Au 7 year warranty. .same for crowns You can chat to them on WhatsApp or message on their homepage Great dentists, modern surgery, speaks english. www.signaturesmiles.in Not worth going for just one or two implants. I had an implant done at Bangkok Phuket Hospital 15 years ago, was 65000 baht then. Still going strong.

The original link says he had a Swedish passport (see pic) Then it says "Nong Noon travelled to Switzerland last month with her foreign boyfriend, who holds an American passport." Which is it? Hope she is found safe.

I have lived in Thailand for 19 years, I have never seen any Jew hatred amongst Thais. Could be because most Thais don't even know what a Jew is, look at Hitler chicken, poster of Hitler with super heros on University campus, etc, This was naivety not hate. But with farang, it is a different story, it is rampant especially since October 7th.. Move one country to the south of Thailand, Israelis are banned from entering Malaysia, Palestinian flags flying on many buildings, and rampant Jew hatred running wild.. (The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree when you look at Penny Wong.) The journalist who wrote this might have thought he would get more hits putting in an Israeli.. but maybe he is one of the very few that said "Israeli" due to Jew hatred. https://focusmalaysia.my/when-flying-the-israeli-flag-is-now-a-crime-in-malaysia-but-ok-with-the-palestinian-flag/

You believe anything that islamic terrorists tell you as long as it has to do with Jew hatred. .Maybe you don't believe that HAMAS attacked Israel.. This first link is from an Iranian ex muslim with contacts and family still in Iran.
