Personally, I beleive that any abortion after after 32 weeks is nothing more that infanticide. I dont think I am alone in that belief.

 

I guess that means you are just fine with abortions at 31.5 weeks, right?

It's odd that the USA isn't on the list.  In Kirkland, WA, a suburb about 20km NE of Seattle, they have had 11 deaths from coronavirus and 70 cases of people infected with the virus in the state.

Sounds like a typical walk my mates and I would do back in the mid 90's.  We would roll up to the Diana Inn on a Friday afternoon after driving down from Bangkok.  Check in and always had room even though we didn't have an advance booking.  Soi Buakhao didn't really exist like it does today.  It was a dirt road for most of it and not much there.  We would cross 2nd road and go over to Soi Post Office and have a few beers there.  Our end destination was usually the TQ.  How long it would take us to get there was always unpredictable but it sure was never accomplished in 90 minutes!

Why would I care if she was educated or employed?

Do you want her to go halves on a date and discuss dark matter?

Different strokes for different folks!  Halves?  Sometimes she even offers to pick up the tab.  Dark matter?  Maybe not.  The financial markets, yes!

oh, I thought once in the airport you would have to wait too... but I guess not... the airport in CM is easy to get to... close to town.. 

 

eye candy? just go to any shopping mall in Thailand... 

For eye candy, Bangkok is much better.  That is if you like real Thai women that are educated and have good jobs.

What does that mean, "pay double for everything like an expat"?

I would imagine going to places that have a Thai price and a non-Thai price, the infamous "dual pricing" that is often seen at National Parks and other attractions around Thailand.  Hopefully by showing his Thai ID card he should be able to pay the Thai price.

40% of fetus in the USA are aborted & contraception is so widespread our populations are shrinking drastically, if we allow this to continue only African, Asians and Arabs will be left in the world.

Where are you getting this 40% of fetuses in the USA are aborted figure from?  I have seen nothing approaching that level except in some isolated cities or the District of Columbia.

Not true.  the foreign income exclusion is for "Earned income", i.e. wages only.  If he has a business or other sources of income, things may be different

I was only addressing him working as an employee not as a business owner.  Of course now he is free to do that without US interference.  

As he came to Thailand when he was two years old and hasn't been back I think it's safe to say that he has never worked in the USA.  Therefore he won't qualify for social security when he turns 62.  As an expat his first $100,000 something is tax few from the USA.  He probably doesn't make that much a year so he won't have to pay anything in taxes.  May not have any investments in the USA.  All he really has to do is file a tax return and I'm thinking his might be quite easy to do.  Kind of a waste of 72,000 baht to renounce something you're not really using.  

What about some other International Schools like Bangkok Pattana, ISB, and NIST?  Are they closing as well?

Wasn't Hun Sen himself not a Khmer Rouge before he defected to Vietnam?

Yes!  He was a KR leader.  He was worried about being purged so he fled to Vietnam.  Then, when the Vietnamese invaded and drove the KR out of power, they installed him as the leader of Cambodia.  

My two luk krung boys were born in the USA.  They moved to Bangkok when they were 4&2 years old.  Educated in Thai schools until they were 16&14 when we moved back to the USA.  They each have Thai and US passports as well as Thai National ID cards.  They are both listed on the Tabian Bahn  (House Registration).  They have never been contacted by the Thai government about being called up for national service.  They have made trips back to Thailand over the years and have never been asked about their military service.  They always carry both passports as well as their Thai ID cards.  They are now 34&32 and I don't think they will be called up!

I used to teach in Bangkok at one of the big public universities about 30 years ago.  Although I liked the teaching and the time off the money was quite poor.  Although looking at what some teachers make now, we actually did much better when adjusted for inflation.  Contracts were all for a year and you were paid for all the breaks throughout the year.  After a few years I left teaching and got a real job that was not in education and paid much more.

CYA, as in cover your ass. Carry a note signed by mother permitting minor child to accompany you. I.d also have a copy of mothers passport page. 

If you get the note or letter notarized at the US Embassy that's even better.

At best I would buy a Chevy truck in the USA.  Highly unlikely though.  Buy a Chevy car?  Never!  Poorly made cars.

Yes that is a real risk. Anyone that has watched his behavior and speech would realize that by now. If he leaves office he's subject to indictment and prison. 

 

In essence you are suggesting that he would be staging a political coup, disregarding the US Constitution, and declaring himself the leader of the country with no end in sight.  Would the US Marshals and FBI allow this to happen and follow his directives?  In Thailand, yes this could very well happen.  Trump taking a play out of the Thailand political playbook?

-- beating 45 and making sure he actually leaves office if he loses. Whether that be with Klobuchar, Bloomberg, or fill in the blank, any other outcome would be tragic. 

 

Are you making the argument that if 45 is beaten he will refuse to leave office?  That he will somehow refuse to accept the election results and continue as President?

I would touch a Chevy product with a ten foot pole.  The trucks are a little better than the cars.  However, in Thailand there have been rumblings about insurance companies not wanting to insure them anymore.  I would assume that former mechanics that used to work for Chevy dealers might open their shops which would be greatly appreciated

Well according to this he's been released on bail so he'll be long gone & the BIB will get the bail money, which won't be small, plus confiscating all his assets, so probably more than one million by the sound of it...

I wonder if the BIB will get to keep his six Russian girlfriends?

Well, I was thinking more about the BiB not being able to see who is driving down the road.  I hate making donations to them.  I usually have the sun visor down as well although not so much at night.

Lucky for you Chevrolet is pulling out of Thailand.  Buy a Honda or Toyota.  Lots of dealers around and they are very reliable.  Personally I would tint the windows to reduce the effects of the sun and UV rays.  It also makes it a little harder to see who is in the car.

It all depends on your own personal tastes.  Will you be working?  If so find a place near your work site.  Do you workout?  You might want to be near a gym.  Want to run in a park?  Perhaps live near a park.  Being close to the BTS or MRT is great if you don't have a car.  Even if you do have  acar it might be better due to the traffic.  You'll find a lot of condos and apts. in your price range a little further out such as Onnut or Ratchada.  As others have said do some short term rentals in different parts of the city to get a feel if that's what works best for you.  

The Cambodians that are deported are those that are not US citizens and have been convicted of a felony crime.  After serving their sentence they are then deported from the US to their home country which in this case is Cambodia.
