  1. If you're a woman married to a Thai guy, after three years your eligible for citizenship.
  2. Everyone needs their Safe and Effective Climate Change Vaccination or else Climate ChangeTM is going to kill them.
  3. It's not the money. It's the hassle of obtaining the documents. Then the sheer number of tourist who arrive who will be looking blankly at a Swampy IO and say, "I need what? I have credit cards, debit cards, no a don't have "cash", I come from a "cashless" country, and you want financial documents from my bank so that I can get in?" Then let's not even imagine the massive wait in line to clear Immigration which is backed up with confused tourists. So, Thailand will lose more tourists. GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!
  4. Pretty much available at any pharmacy.
  5. It would be an immense service to our community if you could create a "pinned" post with as many resource for end of life issues as you know of and which have been discussed in various posts on the topic over the years. We're all getting to be that age where end of life issues just become a reality, especially for those of us with family here or who otherwise plan to live out their lives in Thailand. It would be an excellent and worthwhile topic. It would be better than having a bunch of threads on the subject. It would be nice to have this information pinned in one topic in the Wellness and Health forum which you could do as our Asean Now resident health expert.
  6. Then 3 years in prison would cost you between 5.5 to 7.5 million THB. Plus you'd be kicked out of Thailand at the end of your sentence. Private psychiatrists can be seen by appointment. Then you have a legal prescription. But hell, I'm not going to argue with you. You consider it to be an acceptable risk - up to you. I wear a helmet when I ride a motorcycle and a seat-belt in my car. And I have a prescription for diazepam. If others chose not to wear a helmet, not to put on their seat-belts, or choose to carry and consume tranquilizers without a prescription - hey, up to them. You pay your money and take your chances.
  7. Pit Bull Owned By Thai Kills Thai Granny. (Thailand's reactions: 😑 "Ho hum.") Foreigner's Pit Bulls Kill Thai Dog. (Thailand's reactions: "OMG! KICK ALL FOREIGNERS OUT!!!")
  8. It is not "fake news." It's a proposal which even Israeli news like Haaretz and The Times Of Istrael has picked up and commented on. I have no doubt that the proposal is quite factual. Libya metaphorical said, "Pound sand."
  9. I wonder who will be sent to the Police Hospital Penthouse Suite? 🤔
  10. The fear-porn has been pretty well bled out of Covid, so the local MSM needs something new to scare the locals with. If You Live In Bangkok - An Earthquake Will Get You For Sure! Be afraid! Be very, very afraid. Earthquakes wait around every corning looking for victims. Will they get you? I wonder when they'll offer Safe And Effective Earthquake Vaccinations? 🤔
  11. Republicans pummel Democrats for massive omnibus bills, and then Trump and the Republicans introduce a monstrosity of their own. This is how both parties of the two party duopoly hide excessive congressional spending and bankrupt the nation as they line their own pockets.
  12. On Thursday, Legistorm reported Davidson introduced the "Trump D******ment S******e Research Act of 2025." The bill directs the National Institutes of Health to study <removed> -- or as Davidson put it, “<removed> has divided families, the country, and led to nationwide violence -- including two assassination attempts on President [Donald] Trump. The <removed> Research Act would require the NIH to study this toxic state of mind, so we can understand the root cause and identify solutions.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/is-trump-derangement-syndrome-a-real-thing-new-bill-seeks-an-actual-answer/ar-AA1EUPjo
  13. undocumented immigrant Let me try so you understand. You have a sailboat and you're sailing the oceans. You dock somewhere in Thailand and decide this is a great place and you decide to start working and living here. And of course, why shouldn't you be allowed to live in Thailand - you're a "world citizen." Thai Immigration eventually discovers you and busts you for entering Thailand illegally without a visa, as well as living and working here. You are an "undocumented immigrant." So what the heck do you think your legal status is at that point?
  14. Don't you know who I am? I'm special. I'm privileged. I'm I'm I'm immune to prosecution.
  15. I told him the same thing. Get caught, it's jail time. You need a valid prescription from a doctor. There have been enough stories on AN about foreigners getting busted for possession of tranquilizers like Xanax. It's a trip to a clinic to stay legal.
  16. Well, then Blinken couldn't have continued to run the country behind the scenes.
  17. I turn off Android notifications for Lazada. I know what I ordered and I can check for items I've ordered manually. The spam is over-the-top.
  18. Your next step would be to file a report with the police. So I can see why there was no problem refunding that. After which I probably would have still file a report with the police for fraud.
  19. Your first mistake? Buying underwear in Thailand. If you want farang underwear, order from Amazon. Expensive? Yeah, but they fit.
  20. That should spike his OnlyFans account numbers, 'eh?
  21. At the end of the day, will Thaksin be required to serve time in an actual prison. Nope! Wake me up if he ever serves a day in prison. Until then? Zzzzzzzzzz
  22. They now have direct flights to Vietnam so that more tourists can escape to the Vietnam beaches when Thailand continually threatens to "get tough with disrespectful tourists" which is just about any and all tourists. "Bad tourist disrespect sacred tree." "Bad tourist disrespect sacred wall." "Bad tourist disrespect sacred sea cucumber." "Bad tourist disrespect sacred sea by swimming where boat operator anchors boat so tourist can swimming." "Bad tourist disrespect sacred no-drinking time between 2PM to 5PM!" "Bad tourist disrespect sacred Thai cigarettes and want to vape instead!!" "All foreigner bad. Kick them out." Ok - direct flights to Vietnam? GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!
  23. I was worried about it too, but it turned out to be pretty efficient with the exception that they simply don't give you much in the way of feedback. I sent mine via EMS and got something to the effect that "The Door Guard Signed For Your Mailer" which didn't give me much in the way of confidence. I think I got the new passport back in about 3 weeks much to my surprise and delight. Just hang in there and trust the system will work. It was difficult for me too, but it did work beyond my expectations. I gave the State Department kudos on that. Quiet but efficient.
