https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenGreat post. I wanted to dig deeper into that and asked AI how many Israelis committed crimes in Denmark at the same time. Here's the answer: Official Danish statistics track crime rates and convictions by country of origin, but do not publish those about Israeli nationals. But there are well-documented public statistics regarding the crime rates of Palestinians in Denmark. Shamed be he who thinks evil of it. When you keep in mind that, approximately 99% of Denmark's Jewish population survived the Holocaust as the Danish resistance smuggled them to safety in neutral Sweden, the solution is clear. Send the Palestinians back to their home country and get the Jews back into their safe haven, Denmark.

About 2 years after I moved to Thailand I wanted to move my SS benefit deposit from one US bank to another. I no longer had the option on mySSA to do that. I just emailed FBU Manila with the old and new details and they did the change. That was just about the only thing FBU Manila did correctly for both my wife and I.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:27:28 +0000Unfortunately you're wrong. Russia has learned they can't make any more progress on the front line without sacrificing many more lives than they have available without full mobilization, and the Putin regime considers full mobilization political suicide. So what Russia is doing now to Ukraine is pure terrorism, trying to deflate the morale of Ukrainian civilians in the hope that they rise up and force their govenment to surrender. That won't work. HOWEVER, there are known soft spots in the Baltics that right now Russia could go in and take a lot of land. That's a real threat because that would provide propaganda win for the Putin regime to deflect from the increasing perception even in Russia that Russian can't win in Ukraine. As far as western Europe in general. Russia takes hostile actions every day against western Europe but that's not the same thing as active military attacks.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:23:08 +0000Why are these dysfunctional publicity-hogs dominating the news once again? Not one of them has a snowball's chance in hell of being elected to public office. Next up... Kamala Harris.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:23:05 +0000Got it. Your posts are all lies.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:17:49 +0000We did that only once, when departing Phuket international airport when there as a ~30 minute line just to exit immigration, about a ~10 minute Thai citizen line to exit, and only 1 person in the 'fast track/vip' line. So my Thai wife accompanied me through the fast track - with no problem. However that was the ONLY time we tried that ... where the remainder of the time, the Thai citizen lines were just as fast as the 'fast track'. .Sat, 30 May 2026 14:14:43 +0000buy a few condos, in your name, and add your son as co owner... you die, he will get it the mother will help manage it, till he is 20 then he can sell it all, give all to mummy or gamble it awaySat, 30 May 2026 14:12:57 +0000Sounds good on paper, however I've said it before: illegal but largerly ignored is better than legalized but heavily regulated. For Thailand this may mean: if it works, don't fix it.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:11:54 +0000Thank you all for your input. My current procedure is SSA to Chase - Wise USD withdraw from Chase – Wise BAHT deposit to BBL. My new procedure will simply replace Chase with Schwab (a variation on the suggestion by “gamb00ler”). As stated by “gamb00ler” (and ChatGPT) if an expat wants to maintain a U.S. banking presence, Schwab is the preferred bank. When the Schwab Intl. Account is setup with checking, Wise can withdraw. So monthly transfers will satisfy immigration. After BBL refused to sign the SSA form. I asked K bank to sign the form. I opened an account with them about a year ago, as a backup to BBL. They also are not allowed to sign the form. Interestingly (to me) its best NOT to use form “SSA-1199-OP 107” if you want a SSA direct deposit to a Thai bank. Because doing so could result in giving the receiving account heavily restricted access. Its best to have the BBL etc. print out a certificate indicating your account ownership and routing details. Then send to Manila SSA. So really not a concern Thai banks (in CM) will not sign the “SSA-1199-OP 107”. “Uncle John”: I have access to the SSA website. But it tells me I have to contact them to change DD info. “PeterA”: Yes, probably an email is all that’s required. No need to send bank certificate. Definitely DON’T send the “SSA-1199-OP 107”. Interesting (again to me) when I started the research into changing my U.S. bank because I had no valid U.S. address. Gemini AI reinforced my paranoia about Chase closing my account. And highly recommended DD to BBL using “SSA-1199-OP 107”. Gemini said that was the best method. In-spite of having to access the BBL account in person to do any transfers. Because of account restrictions demanded by SSA. No phone/web access. When I explained my situation to ChatGPT. It basically said to calm down and not be so paranoid about Chase closing account. And If I really wanted to change, suggested Schwab to Wise to BBL. And gave me the impression that I was being overly concerned. ChatGPT highly recommended not to use “SSA-1199-OP 107” under any circumstance.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:11:51 +0000There is no basis for your fetid assertions but don’t let that stop you.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:09:47 +0000Its called COPINGSat, 30 May 2026 14:09:06 +0000So you are advocating for the execution of Trump in a coy way? Guess its easy: Are you a troll? Are you a mentally ill danger to the President of the USA, and or Are you a politically motivated danger to the President of the USA Someone else will decide that I reckon LOL. Keep postingSat, 30 May 2026 14:07:58 +0000Where is your proof !! Assumptions do you know how a news forum works ?? post by all means, but your post have to be backed up by FACTS not your assumptions what your post should have beenSat, 30 May 2026 14:03:32 +0000Excuse me!! You are spreading one misinformation after the other and when corrected you try to twist the words around and accuse the person of being anti-Semitic. “Oh I see and that somehow makes it better if not all the 6,000,000 were killed in the death camps, does it?” It was clear to everybody and to you that @Packer was simply correcting your wrong information by quoting historical facts and instead of proving him wrong with historical facts, which you can't, because there are none, you try to label him as a Jew hater. And then you add another misinformation about Europe deciding to eliminate the Jews in the most horrible ways and later even desecrated the dead And on top of that you ask for the closure of this thread. Why? Because the facts and the truths you can read here are not of your taste? Because these facts are putting some cracks into that most moral altar on which you have put the IDF? Didn't know you were one of them. What exactly did you do during your service time? When will you finally admit, not to us but at least to yourself, that the only enemy you are fighting against is the truth? Sacrificing to fight for one´s country is honorable, but should never go so far to sacrifice the truth, as all you might get in the end is a country built on lies. Lies never last long. Nor do countries built on them. And you might be careful with that desecration accusation. You see it's the IDF who is returning the bodies of Palestinian detainees with organs or parts of the skin missing. At the same time Israeli health institutions brag about having the worldwide largest skin bank while interestingly Israelis do not donate at rates comparable to other Western nations. I hope one day someone will look into that unexplainable discrepancy.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:01:10 +0000Pure deflection from the fact that Iranians are in a terrible situation living under the dictates of Islamic fundamentalism.Sat, 30 May 2026 14:00:59 +0000Got it: you support Iran and would rather see a Mullah in the White House, Sharia in Europe, Israel wiped off the map and the Crematoriums smoking. At least you are consistent.Sat, 30 May 2026 13:59:54 +0000The story is not correct. NATO bears most of the responsibility for this conflict anyway so their condemnation is meaninglessSat, 30 May 2026 13:58:07 +0000Great idea. Genius!😅 Should we forget this whole Iran saga got kicked into overdrive when the divider in chief Obama paid the mad mullahs BILLIONS of $$ in used banknotes airlifted on pallets as ransom for captured US sailors, which the mullahs used to develop nukes. And you want MORE of this insanity. Some wild thinking right there🤣😅Sat, 30 May 2026 13:57:20 +0000The first action of aggression was the 1953 US CIA violent coup of a democratically elected, secular ally to install the Shah. The CIA then trained SAVAK, the brutal secret police who tortured and murdered thousands over 25 years—all to secure cheap oil.Sat, 30 May 2026 13:57:18 +0000God you are full of Assumptions!!! where your facts post Facts not your assumptions! where is your proof that woman want shed their burkas and the people will taste freedom again. shaking my head at your arrogant sSat, 30 May 2026 13:57:13 +0000So what LOL. Ask AI whether IPs are anonymous LOL. Oh and ask it whether any commercial satelitte can follow vehicles in the dark.... So what LOL. Trying to equate one with the other is sadly moronic.Sat, 30 May 2026 13:56:46 +0000It is highly doubtful that they’re genuine products. I used to buy the same blades at Tops at over 800TBH. I was fortunate on my last visit to USA I found them in bulk at Costco for a fraction of cost in comparison. Btw I’ve been using the battery operated ones for years and believe nothing comes close.Sat, 30 May 2026 13:55:07 +0000i believe i once read that.. not really getting impressed (as you are not with Leo's take on things) ... with the proclamations that a whole new way of doing things is .............coming..... just wait and see ...... America First trump talk , from my eyes seems much more like Big Corporations and Tech Monopolies and , oh yes.... Huge Ai data centers which will now take over all surveillance and possibly everything else . ( ok, i'm a dummy. it just SEEMS like that is what is happening . why i believe my eyes when the real genius is how this all really is bringing the american people (the world?) back to all the great fairness and freedoms that our founders envisioned. ) so , instead of focusing on what people say at these stupid meetings..... my mind just looks at the figures : The U.S. lost roughly 15,000 farms in 2025 alone, bringing the total number of farms below 1.9 million—a sharp drop from the 6.8 million farms recorded in 1935. Small Farms Bear the Brunt: The closure of smaller farms with annual sales under $50,000 accounts for the vast majority of this drop. [1] Production Share: While small farms dominate in number, large commercial operations making over $1 million annually now control over half of all U.S. farmland. [1] AND............... the same scenario can be seen in almost every field . The small go under, taken over by the big boys ( hello, again.....blackrock, fidelity, etc) . Small entrepeneurs are regulated out of existence , just as google does with eliminating alternative viewpoints to big pharma . i was just going to delete all this.... because really, you always have a way of waving it away . I show what changes are taking place, you say they are being defeated , greatly reduced, or something to that effect . you are probably right, that europe is self destructing . they just don't have the power to take over countries and oil fields like the US does. (or get away with this whopper : The U.S. national debt has officially surpassed the size of the entire economy. Debt held by the public recently crossed the 31 trillion dollar mark .... Its all fkn crazy . but, i aint no Billionaires , son .....Sat, 30 May 2026 13:51:40 +0000Sat, 30 May 2026 13:51:24 +0000TouchingSat, 30 May 2026 13:49:14 +0000
