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!!!")

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."

I wonder who will be sent to the Police Hospital Penthouse Suite? 🤔

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? 🤔

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.

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

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?

Ditto!

Don't you know who I am? I'm special. I'm privileged. I'm I'm I'm immune to prosecution.

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.

Well, then Blinken couldn't have continued to run the country behind the scenes.

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.

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.

Your first mistake? Buying underwear in Thailand. If you want farang underwear, order from Amazon. Expensive? Yeah, but they fit.

That should spike his OnlyFans account numbers, 'eh?

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

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!!!

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.

Wow! Smoking fast!

March 2022: The West and NATO: "Russia invaded Ukraine Unprovoked." Ignore NATO surrounding Russian and holding military drills on Russia's borders. "Russia is an aggressor and must be contained via NATO aggression." Russian conditions for concessions from Ukraine for an end to the SMO: Crimea is Russian. Donetsk is an autonomous zone and will hold a referendum to join Russia at a later date. Istanbul Accord initialed by all parties. Ukraine gives up joining NATO. Ukraine demilitarizes, de-Nazifies, and becomes a neutral state. US via Boris Johnson blew up the agreement and promised to supply weapons and money for "as long as it takes." US and NATO now work toward the military and economic destruction of Russia and the breakup of the Russia Federation. June 2024: Russian conditions for concessions from Ukraine based on conditions on the ground to end the SMO: Ukraine pulls troops from Kherson, Zaporozhia, Donetsk and Lugansk which are now Russia Federation territories at which time negotiations and ceasefire can begin. Ukraine gives up joining NATO. Ukraine demilitarizes, de-Nazifies, and becomes a neutral state. May 15th 2025: The West and NATO and Zelensky: We won't give up an inch of Ukraine! Germany will build the largest army in Europe (ya'll did that before, right?), France will put nukes in Germany and Poland, the UK and EU plan to go to war with Russia by 2030. And "Russia Is Losing The Conflict Badly and Russian Economy Is In Ruins!!!" "We refuse to meet with Russia." "Zelensky will meet with Putin but bad Putin only sent insects and orcs to negotiate." <three hour meeting between Erdogan and Zee> Zee: "Ok we'll meet at 3PM, ok 5PM ok 6PM, sod it, Friday morning at 10AM" <Zee gets on jet and leaves> May 16th 10AM to noon: Two hour meeting. Both side agree to exchange 1000 POWs. The West and NATO and Zelensky: We won't give up an inch of Ukraine! Germany will build the largest army in Europe. France will put nukes in Germany and Poland, the UK and EU plan to go to war with Russia by 2030. And "Russia Is Losing The Conflict Badly and Russian Economy Is In Ruins!!!. Russia must agree to a 30 day ceasefire so that NATO can pour weapons into Ukraine and retrench. Russian conditions for concessions from Ukraine based on conditions on the ground to end the SMO: Ukraine pulls troops from Kherson, Zaporozhia, Donetsk and Lugansk which are now Russia Federation territories at which time negotiations and ceasefire can begin. Ukraine gives up joining NATO. Ukraine demilitarizes, de-Nazifies, and becomes a neutral state. Take these conditions now or at the next meeting Russia's conditions for concessions will include Ukraine's giving up Kherson, Zaporozhia, Donetsk and Lugansk - and - Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov. May 16 - 17 Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev puts an nice spin on the talks. Ukraine shows it's True Grit. "Oh, oh I see. Running away, eh?! You yellow b*****d! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!!" Stay tuned...

Codeine (I'm assuming Codein is a misspelling, but if it's a brand name then apologies) is a class 2 narcotic, requires a prescription, and is usually only available though hospitals via a prescription from a doctor, and here in Thailand, that would be dispensed at the hospital pharmacy. Get caught with it without a prescription, it's jail time. It's illegal. Same as people who get diazepam or lorazapam or other benzos OTC at a Thai pharmacy. No prescription, it's jail time. What happens to the pharmacy? Well, TIT - this is Thailand. A hand-slap and a brown envelope probably. I know of pharmacies that will sell tranquilizers OTC but I can't say I've ever come across a pharmacy selling Codeine. I get them from a doctor, i.e., I have a prescription. Use them on rare occasions for sleep. I wouldn't buy them from a pharmacy - too much potential risk. Thailand's narcotics laws are no joke.

Give it three weeks to a month before you start to worry. Your passport might show up on your doorstep before you find an update on the web. There was very little feedback but mine showed up wayyyyy before I expected it to. I wrote a detailed account last year. Check it out: And this is where you need to go for passport status. If there is nothing there, don't worry about it too much. There is a lot of lag time. https://passportstatus.state.gov/

Rewriting history in order to accommodate his megalomania. Like Biden's dementia got worse while he was in office, Trump's megalomania gets worse the longer he's in office. I can imagine what he'll be spouting by 2028. His megalomania will probably provoke a World War by then.

I detest these award ceremonies and stopped watching decades ago after they became a personal pulpits for political statements. DeNiro is irrelevant. The dude is now a mediocre actor infected with a mind-virus which is approaching epidemic proportions in liberal America. He should seek professional help.

I have had a TIN since I worked here 18 years ago. I've never been required by a Thai bank to provide that number.
