Why the hell am I still carry around a 15 year old TM6 card? Really - what's the purpose to this nonsensical piece of paper? It seems to be one of those required photocopied pieces of paper that Thai Immigration wants when submitting a 90 day report in person (at my office - yeah, your office may be different). And seeing that I recently got a new passport and the stamps transferred, by first 90 day with the new passport has to be done in person. And here's this freaking 15 year old shred of paper that some archaic Thai laws says I need to keep on me until I leave the country or die, whichever may happen first. Why?

You're talking about a Clear Lensectomy or essentially cataract surgery without cataracts. You should look into the known side effects of the surgery such a retinal detachment especially if you're myopic. You search for increased QoL may end up creating more headaches then you currently have with glasses. Regarding lens: "Trifocal lenses have the most vision range, but they come with the risk of glare and halos at night. Extended depth-of-focus lenses work differently and have a lower risk of halos, but you may still need reading glasses, especially in dim light," -Harvard Health Publishing

Hire someone to capture it in a live trap and transport it 60 km from where you live.

One month in a remand prison hospital penthouse reduced to 1 year probation followed by a pardon.

He'll have the back of his hands whipped with cold bamii noodles and allowed to continue to run the country though his proxy daughter.

Motorcycle driving in Thailand is 110% defensive driving, therefore no fun at all.

Stopping at a crosswalk for pedestrians which doesn't have a stoplight. Stopping at a crosswalk for pedestrians that does have a red stoplight in your direction.

12 pages and 355 replies and still cooking. That's sad. Ya'll really do think Trump is Hitler right? And the other side thinks Harris is a drunk, female Vladimir Lenin. I guess that explains it. I just tossed OP out there for the hell of it. Never expected this much malice. But I'm not surprised in the least either. I guess when Jan 2025 comes around most of America will be at each others throats. Number 1 - Thank goodness I don't have any plans to travel to the US in 2025, and Number 2 - Thank goodness I don't live anywhere near the rest of you. I have no dog in the DNC-RNC Trump/Harris Slugfest. Have at it kids. Gawd - I lived long enough to witness this. It's starting to get that Fall 1793 feeling in France or the Spring 1917 feeling in Russia sorta feeling for the Fall 2024/Spring 2025 in the USA. <head-shake> <sigh>

By the way. A coffin cost 500 to 1000 THB. The "ceremony" is a a donation to the monks who chant. Then maybe 5000 to cover the cost of burning the body. It can be done for under 10K.

Assume the 50K to be a gift and not a loan. Do you homework and determine the veracity of the situation. If you're a generous type, give what you can and don't expect anything in return. Otherwise - respectfully decline.

"Hey - I know Tony! The next time let's tell the dumb buffalos we'll give them 20,000 THB!"

Classic Bait and Switch. Political Billboards all over Thailand during last election: VOTE FOR US AND WE'LL GIVE YOU 10,000 THB IF WE WIN!!! Reality: Dumb ignorant suckers! Let's do it again next election!!!

Walk to Airport Plaza and grab a Red songtaew.

Here's your chance to vent your pent up hatred and vitriol toward the evil Donald Trump and his evil MAGA supporter, and all of the stupid traditionalist and conservatives within your own country's population. In two minutes or less, tell us all why you hate the Donald Trump. Go for it!

Unfortunately he'll be unceremoniously kicked out (or thrown into IDP forever) and his kid given to a Thai family member, or maybe just any old Thai person. With a 5 year old son I'm assuming he's been here for 5 years or longer. If he was a foreign women and the husband split leaving her with his son, he'd of already been given the opportunity to become a Thai citizen. Then he could work and keep his family together. But instead? Well - like the rest of us married to Thai women, we are just bad people and don't deserved the human rights of a foreign woman married to a Thai man. A foreign women who had a Thai child with a Thai spouse is considered the be a member of Thai society and worthy of citizenship, residency, and the ability to work and remain in Thailand to raise her Thai child after the spouse leaves. Thai society values and supports that family unit. A foreign man who had a Thai child with a Thai spouse is considered the be unworthy to be a member of Thai society, and is not worthy of citizenship, or residency, or the ability to work and remain in Thailand to raise his Thai child after the spouse leaves. Thai society disdains that family unit and is happy to split it asunder, the child and father be damned. This is how "human rights" is defined in Thailand. Looking in my crystal ball, I see arrest, imprisonment, and deportation and his family shattered and scattered to the wind.

Still going right over your head, 'eh? Sorry. This is my last comment on the matter. Feel free to wrap it up and put it to bed. Here's something to do when you're finished. https://cerebrumiq.com/start

I actually know exactly how the parliament works. Hence the post. But - You don't get it do you? Sorry - abstract though mustn't be your forte. You're forgiven.

Same same and not even a little bit different.

Dynasty Yesterday the Carringtons. Today the Shinawatras.

Show me one Thai commoner who was given the opportunity to vote for her?

Thailand's Newly Elected Female PM: Paetongtarn Shinawatra Vows Dedication Dedication to the Rich! Dedication to the Wealthy! Dedication to the Haves! Dedication to the Connected! Dedication to the Powerful! Dedication to Political Friends! Dedication to Corporate Stakeholders! And Dedication to Austerity for the Commoners and the little-people. Happiness to the friends of the Shinawatra clan. For everyone else? "Let them eat cake bugs."

Me (walks into kitchen) "I hear you have another Shinawatra running your country." Wife "F***!"

Selected.
