In 20 years, I've never seen the term "nuad Thai," used anywhere! So I dont see any danger of that being misrepresented. Every shop I have ever seen or used just states "Thai massage" where from my experience, you're twisted like a pretzel with absolutely no thought or consideration given to contraindications, general health questions, etc. Probably shown what to do by the girl in the next cubicle when it's quiet. Zero actual knowledge of anatomy and physiology in most places.

There may well be "legitimate" and correctly trained ones out there, but I suggest they are few and far between compared to the "happy ending" variety.

Guess it depends on where you live.

Can the under 50 year old wife and 3 year old son apply for Non-O Dependent Visas to accompany a Retired Non-O?

I ask because there are TWO NON-O Visas that seem to apply.

 

One is called FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT TO OR BEING A DEPENDANT OF A PERSON WHO HAVING RESIDENCY IN THAILAND (NON-O)

And seems to require a work permit:

 

The other is called FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT TO OR BEING A DEPENDANT OF A THAI CITIZEN (SPOUSE VISA) (NON-O) OR PERSON HAVING RESIDENCY IN THAILAND... a two pager that doesn't have a work permit requirement but does have an income/saving requirement (40k/400k).

 

It seems as a Retired Non-O, the second one applies and the wife needs to have a bank account with 400k THB in her name from a foreign account in her name. (Or 40k THB monthly income stream).

 

Am I reading that right?

How about the 3 year old son?

Anyone have recent experience with this kind of visa?

Wrong.

Married to a Thai; You need 400 k or an income of 45.000-- per year.

"The Pentagon was scheduled on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China, two U.S. officials said on Thursday."

 

I'll link to the story since OP didn't.  And no, no one in their right freaking mind, thinks this is a good idea.

Thanks for the link. Since AN changed the linking thing it does not work for me. And it also does not seem to work for you because I learned that a link is something one can click on and be directed to that certain information.

So Maga you agree and why?

Intel on possible war with China to be shared with Elon Musk.

Gosh these thing look like.... I don't know..... milk shake makers ? Or an ancient type of torture. And to Ralf from the pictures, what's the one? Eclectic ???

Now I should stress that the reason why I bought this pump from Lazada has little to do with my 'Mr Droopy'. 

 

In fact, I wanted to do some science experiments to demonstrate that sound energy cannot travel through a vacuum!!  Typically, one uses a bell jar with a motor pump attached to it, place a ringing electronic bell inside the bell jar, pump out the air and the sound of the ringing will weaken as the air is pumped out.

 

Such a system designed for science labs is a little expensive, but it occurred to me that a cheap penis pump should enable demonstration of this effect.

 

And indeed it does - very well!  (I have to watch out for sarcastic comments from teenage students about 'Sir is that your penis pump?!")  Happily, the equipment looks fairly anonymous.

 

However, and to keep this post relevant to this health forum, I did try this pump on my own manhood.  I do have ED problems for many years (trapped nerve in my lower back), but it doesn't bother me because my wedding tackle rusted up years ago.

 

So I followed the instructions, stuck the clear plastic tube over my flaccid member and started pumping the handle that sucks out the air from the top end of the equipment.

 

JEEZ!!  I couldn't believe my eyes. 

 

My little member grew to fill the whole plastic tube, touching the end of the pipe after only a few seconds.  I understand the science as to how this works (the partial vacuum draws blood up into your member).  However, I was amazed at the end result.  The length of Mr Droopy increased substantially, but also the width/girth doubled to completely fill the plastic tube.  In a few seconds, (after removing the equipment from around my member), I had an enormous, erect manhood that completely filled my room! (Actually, that was a slight exaggeration, but I was amazed and very happy at the results of using this penis pump).

 

Therefore, my serious comment.  If you do have ED problems, then I can heartily recommend using a penis pump. 

 

(You can also do science experiments with it as well!)

Can't find them on Lazada.

Did not impress the Yemen's the attacked again. Luckily without any success. 

Isn;t it Nasa and Space X while Boing failed?

How about staying on topic? I know it is difficult for some of the MAGA enthusiasts to deal with unpleasant facts, but if you start a topic, don't  deflect and offer unrelated issues when someone points out the deficiency in your claims.

 

 

OK. Please offer some  evidence to support your claim that most Americans agree with what he  is doing. The math does not support your claim.

 

The population of the USA is approx. 340 million citizens. Of that number an estimated 244,666,890 were eligible to vote.  Only 156,302,318 people voted in the US federal election. Trump obtained 77,284,118 votes. (For comparison purposes, Biden obtained 81,284,666 votes in 2020.) Despite his claims, Trump did not receive a majority of votes.

 

Do the math: Of eligible voters, Trump obtained 31.59% of their votes. Of those who voted, he obtained 49.445%. That is not the definition of most. It does mean that a large number of people supported a change in direction, and/or others did not like the alternative candidate, and/or  others were die hard Trump enthusiasts and supported his agenda.

 

Don't change subject because you are unable to respond to a coherent  point that disagrees with you.  Germany  has a  robust electoral system. If you wish to compare the two electoral systems, please start a new topic. I am sure that the well educated Germans will explain  how their electoral system works.

 

 

You are the one making the claim. The onus is on you to  support it. Yes, Trump won an election, but he did not obtain a majority. No one denies  that he won an election.

 

 

Thai isn't just an arrogant stament it is obnoxiously ignorant and you no longer have any credibility. You know nothing about the integrity of elections in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, UK etc. On the contrary, they  have the advantage of being run by neutral apolitical bodies. The Australian Electoral Commission, like Elections Canada and others, are the gold standard. There is no room for political interference. In the USA Secretaries of State (or other  political positions) for each of the US states oversees the federal election.  If the Secretary of State is a Republican or a Democrat there is an opportunity for political bias. In the USA electoral district boundaries are subject to gerrymandering by the  legislature resulting in the indirect  disenfranchisement of  voters. This is less likely to occur in countries where an independent apolitical body sets the boundaries.

 

 

Ok. An honest response. And at least you  admit to agreeing with the reductions in critical positions such as forest ranger firefighters, air traffic controllers, national park paramedics and others. And you support the reduction in public health scientists  and research into infectious diseases.  And you are honest in your support of the  increased likelihood of tax evasion and non payment of   income taxes, forcing the burden of taxes onto honest people because the IRS has laid off thousands of people who were responsible for ensuring tax laws were followed. And you agree with the neutering of the FTC so that unfair trade practices and the investigations into the dominant media monopolies of  Facebook, X , TikTok and others will be dropped along with investigations of large pharmaceutical companies. And you agree with the  blocking of the FDA's ability to  oversee the pharmaceutical industry because the compliance scientists have been  terminated. You wanted it, and you are getting it. This is your choice and it is to be respected. However, please do not complain when the  impact of that choice manifests itself. It won't be the fault of politicians or even of Trump, but of people like you who demanded these actions.

 

 

And what data do you have to support this nonsensical claim?  The  dislike for the USA is now changing to hatred, so I do not see where this groundswell of love is supposedly coming from.

Thank you for taking your time, however they won't listen. Its's a cult no matter what they say.
