A 90-day report receipt/next due date? A TM-30 copy?  If it's these two, and you've done the recent 90-day report online, it's easy to print a copy from either the website--'check status'--or the email confirming APPROVED.  The TM-30 is almost entirely an online affair, with exceptions for those who've gotten the document from an immigration office, applying with the required copies of contract, address, etc. Online? You can get it replaced by making a new one.  What other 'papers' would possibly be attached to your passport?  Pro tip: Do not keep the two above items attached to your passport. Keep them in your 'doc folder' and present them from that folder for any related tasks at immigration. Don't fold them and have them attached or stapled in the passport, making the passport even bulkier to carry around...and potentially having them go missing somehow after you've handed the passport over for one of the many things a passport is asked for here. And if you do keep them in the passport, check it immediately after it's handed back to you to make sure the 'papers' are still there. (Which is why it's better not to put them in there in the first place.)</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 17:13:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Chinese Tourist Dies in Pattaya Hotel Fall</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395005-chinese-tourist-dies-in-pattaya-hotel-fall/?do=findComment&comment=20517074]]></link><description>Gruesome.

I am open to all suggestions.  But, what I am thinking about, during my next experimental trial with this meat is this:  a. I will purchase a large (or fairly large) pressure cooker.  b. I will use this cooker to raise the inside pressure to about 15 psi above ambient pressure here...(and, you know, Chiang Mai is NOT at sea level....right?)  c. IF I raise the pressure inside the pressure cooker chamber to 15 psi, then I will be able to raise the cooking temp to around 121-degrees C.  d. By doing so, then I will be able to more easily break down the collagen. This will be a real plus.  e. Next, after cooking in the pressure cooker, I can transfer the meat to the baking dish, and roast the meat in my oven.  Does this sound like a plan?  ========== BUT.....I have not yet given up on this original pork experiment.....  My oven timer just rang, and this means that I have now exposed this pork-in-question to an additional 50 minutes at 200-degrees C.  I will now remove the pork from the oven....and let it rest.... (I, too, need a rest, I think.)  After that, I will try my fork test, and capture a few images to be posted here, for substantiation of my results.  Pray for me, please.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 17:10:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Tourist Uses Thai Rider to Pass Phuket Checkpoint</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394966-tourist-uses-thai-rider-to-pass-phuket-checkpoint/?do=findComment&comment=20517070]]></link><description>So instead of getting fined by the BIBs for not having the right kind of license, he pays the kid 150thb and says, "meet you on the corner up there", crosses to the other side walks up to said corner.

They finally snapped to the facts.  &#x201C;Gang criminals who terrorise our streets and public spaces should no longer be able to use a Swedish passport to travel freely or evade deportation after committing serious crimes,&#x201D; said Migration Minister Johan Forssell. Police data cited by the government indicates that around 1,100 individuals involved in criminal networks in Sweden hold dual nationality.  Of course, their lefties are suffering from suicidal empathy.  The Left Party and the Greens are staunchly against the idea, fearing it could be seen as &#x2018;intolerant&#x2019;.

Israel has deliberately created that fake narrative in order to sway people using their incredibly corrupt lobbies.

The purity has to remain intact. No chances should be taken to disturb the angelic nature of the land.  Some people are so obsessed with social media and posting nonsense, that they have no discriminatory faculties when it comes to what not to post.   My wife just pointed out to me a post of a guy who's undergoing a sex change operation and it showed a photo of his balls that had been removed and placed on a steel table. I just don't know if that's something I'd be bragging about.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 16:33:52 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
