Was I also wrong not to get permission from Thailand to travel with them between the UK and Thailand? "Not having them may have been viewed as another piece of evidence that the kids were Chinese and not Thai." Does the matter if they were born in China? My kids were born in the UK but had Thai passports. If they were British how come they also had Thai passports. If these kinds were "Chinese" how come they were issued Thai passports. Isn't dual national the correct term? Strangely the only problem I had once was returning to the UK and getting a stroppy UK Immigration Officer wanting to know why we were travelling to the UK. Odd that they couldn't give a damn when I was leaving the UK with two kids and without the mother but returning was suspicious.</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 15:39:12 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20580431]]></link><description>Clown</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 15:39:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>People are saying the Left created a Monster, Barrack Obama,News</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396056-people-are-saying-the-left-created-a-monster-barrack-obamanews/?do=findComment&comment=20580430]]></link><description>Newsweek Senior Editor at Large Josh Hammer discussing the modern transformation of the Dem Party and how the institutional ground shifted to allow far left elements to seize control.
