It may be possible that after return to Thailand next extension will accept 800k seasoned for two months. However maybe not attractive to you given those requirements as outlined by others.   The io you spoke to is concern in stating next extension requires proof of monthly transfers. Something you have not done.  I'm not a fan of AI... However this is there reply... "An embassy income verification letter serves as proof of your income for the past year (proving you have an established history of earning that money) rather than guaranteeing your income for the future. Thai immigration requires this to ensure you currently possess the consistent means to support yourself"  Seems your embassy no longer provides this letter</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:27:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Reality of the Trump Campaign&#x2019;s Cooperation with Russia, 2016</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398016-the-reality-of-the-trump-campaigns-cooperation-with-russia-2016/?do=findComment&comment=20583302]]></link><description>Russia absolutely interfered in the 2016 election, that's supported by the U.S. intelligence community, the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee and the Mueller investigation.   Where I disagree is the leap from "Russia interfered" to "the Trump campaign conspired with Russia." Mueller documented numerous contacts between campaign officials and Russians, but his report also states that the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities. It's fair to discuss the contacts and Manafort's actions, but it's not accurate to claim Mueller proved a Trump-Russia conspiracy when his report explicitly says he did not establish one.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:25:08 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Tightens Airport Security Nationwide</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398000-thailand-tightens-airport-security-nationwide/?do=findComment&comment=20583301]]></link><description>Come on!

Especially religious beliefs and rituals which often totally contradict other religious beliefs and rituals (one demands hair never cut, another demands shaven heads etc). So all of them are nonsense and have no merit, except to make people feel good about themselves. I guess it gives them a grounding, a purpose of sorts, in their life.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:15:47 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cloud Storage Using USB Drive Connected to AIS ZTE Router - HOW?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398043-cloud-storage-using-usb-drive-connected-to-ais-zte-router-how/?do=findComment&comment=20583290]]></link><description>What options are there under the "USB" section?</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:15:08 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>When will Man return to the Moon?

Which in your case still needs to be ascertained.  As you mention the MRI showed some compression fractures, a thorough investigation is warranted.  Not to alarm you but these can be due to serious bone disease including from cancer metastasis.   Get a proper evaluation and do not waste time at this point debating the pros and cons of treatments that might not even be recommended for your specific case.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:13:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>When will Man return to the Moon?

It sucks the BIG ONE, in my view.  Just think how much energy is required to reach escape velocity, where we are, in this gravity depression.  It also sucks the big one that Space is Curved.  So much easier for Elon to get to Mars if only he had no need to contend with gravity.
