You do not have to do a 90 report when you do your extension. My 90 day hasn't coincided with my extension for enough years that I can't remember the last time it did. If you can do it online, it's going to take you less time then starting this topic. Immigration is a bureaucracy and stuff like this is part and parcel of bureaucratic inefficiency. Fill another one and and your done.

Thai court rules traffic fines unlawful since 2020
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
As most of us who have lived here for a significant period of time, the reason laws aren't obeyed is because in so many cases there simply is no enforcement. Ditto this... -
PPRP opposes casino legalisation, fears national harm
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I'm not particularly pro-casinos, but if they do allow them, then they should disband their BIB Vice Squads and stop busting Thai villagers from betting on things like freaking cock fights. But what they propose to a massive wealth transfer to the wealthiest Thais in Thailand. -
I believe the UK and EU will run with their own woke insanity until the Trump Administration says, "Enough!", perhaps spurred by the desire of their citizens of each EU and UK country to jettison woke ideology and Neo-Marxist ideals, which the citizenry can't accomplish alone without the help of a now conservative-leaning United States.

Good! Excellent. But with that said I do hope that schools and colleges will fund a sub-class of sports in an "open" class where trans and anyone else who wishes to participate, can participate in sports. Schools have accommodated "special needs children" in sports, and in effective, trans kids are a sub-class of "special needs" children. But just like you don't match a special needs child to compete against Riley Gaines, you don't match a genetic male to compete against Riley Gaines or any other woman either.

PM Paetongtarn strengthens ties with Xi in landmark China visit
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand should forge strong economic bonds with its next door neighbor and the premier manufacturing power-house of the world. ASEAN and BRICS are the future of a Eurasia economic union. Too bad the West doesn't want to join, it would be good for the entire world. But with the flakiness of sanctions and tariff which the West loves to wield, best to constructs strong economic bonds with the what will soon be the largest trading block with the most potential global consumers.- 23 replies

Trump’s Proposal for Gazan Relocation makes perfect sense
connda replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
October 7th was a prison break, in my own opinion; there is not other words for it. (You fail to account for 85 years of Palestinian subjugation and multiple forced relocations). Study history. Yeah, it is inconvenient. -
RFK Jr.’s Confirmation Hearings Prove He’s Unfit to Lead HHS
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If you are on the Left, all of Trumps cabinet nominations are"unfit." Why? You personally hate Trump. Easy and obvious. -
And capitalists and communists and zionists and socialists and all the other '-ists' who control the politicians who control the nuclear weapons will kill the rest of us, most likely before the end of the 21st century. Perhaps that is a fitting end to the species of genocidal monkeys? The sad thing being is that not all humans are genocidal monkeys, but unfortunately they do make up a quorum.

Trump’s Proposal for Gazan Relocation makes perfect sense
connda replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
It will set a precedent. Let 'er rip! So, if the US forces the Palestinians to leave Gaza (and Israel) and moves to them all to Egypt and Jordan and elsewhere in the ME/NA, then what's next? The Chinese forcing all the Uyghurs to move from Xinjiang back to their historical origins in Mongolia? Myanmar marches all the Rohingya back to Bangladesh? India marches the "Untouchables" into the sea? I'm sure there are other countries who would like to rid themselves of those whom they don't see as part of their own societies and cultures. Really, once you let the forced relocation genie out of the bottle there will be no stuffing him back in. You can't, from an international perspective, say that the forced relocation of one group of people on one hand is good, but the force relocation of other groups of people on the other hand is bad. Considering this is a Trump/US idea, you'd think that the US would know better as it's done this before in the 19th century with our own indigenous populations in the United State. Granted, they weren't forced into Canada and Mexico - I guess they could have been. With the way thing are going perhaps they plan to revisit that? Why not - it seems the world is going stark raving mad. Really - speaking as a Buddhist - too many people on this globe are literally losing their innate humanity and are gleefully celebrating the loss. I believe in the long run there will be consequences. I refuse to join the cavalcade of man's hatred towards his fellow man. Best of luck. -
Thailand's New Digital Arrival Card Stirs Confusion Among Travellers

I've got a freaking 16 year old TM6 still stapled in my passport. Immigration hasn't told me they don't want copies of it yet. -

Should I have my (mercury) amalgam fillings removed?

I would. I don't have any mercury amalgams in my mouth anymore. -
I've never understood the Western obsession with repatriating dead corpses no less the massive expenses associated with doing so. Maybe it's a Christian thing and I'm missing the point. As a Buddhist, cremate me where I lie and spread the ashes. Then if anyone want's to say nice things about me, hold a wake and have a party. I don't need to be around - I'm gone! A dead corpse? Ain't nobody home, the house is permanently vacated. I've never understood. Still don't. Western perspectives regarding death are just morbid.

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
connda replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I can't grasp why anyone wants a computer with an itsy-bitsy tiny screen, no keyboard, and no mouse, i.e., a high-end smartphone. -
Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
connda replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I've got an Samsung A34, it does everything I want it to do. Essentially it's a telephone with a couple of Android apps which no longer can be run from a computer. Cost me around 8K with a family discount from where my son works. I'll drive it into the ground, and when it can't be upgraded anymore, I'll root it and then upgrade it. My smartphone is essentially a phone and a camera and a timer/alarm. Other than that, it doesn't get a whole lot of use. -
