People that are here on One year extensions are here because they have an approved TM 7 APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY STAY IN THE KINGDOMFri, 03 Jul 2026 07:08:17 +0000Weed can affect people differently, especially people with ADHD or bipolar disorder. Stimulants can calm ADHD symptoms when used medically, while cannabis can be unpredictable. For some it may relax them, for others it can increase anxiety, agitation, paranoia, or even trigger mania, especially with bipolar disorder.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:07:44 +0000My ex's mom had 11 children, and most are mentally ill. Only three have acted normally in all the years I've been around them. Those are the ones who have separated themselves from mom, and have decent relationships. Mom is very mean, and my ex has told of the hate she has towards her many times, although she inherited it herself and that anger is shown towards anyone around her that disagrees with her, including her three daughters. Dad was violent and hardly around, then passed away. One major reason I will take my daughter away as that family has some serious problems.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:07:41 +0000I don't think it has to do with bigotry or racism at all. The US government just requires a ton of paperwork for someone to open a bank account overseas, and the manager of that bank doesn't want to deal with it.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:07:21 +00006 of the 9 were appointed by Republican Presidents including Trump.. Occasionally a couple of them grow a pair, that’s democracy.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:07:13 +0000Outrageous! Now, of course, he can say what he likes and I somehow hope he "spills the beans". Hopefully Ethan will get the care he needs. As an aside, @Hardcastle P said the NHS is a shambles, which is somewhat true, but in my own case and that of close friends, when someone has a serious problem such as Ethan, they do pull the stops out, plus there is usually transparency in what's happening. Unfortunately, it's also something of a "postcode lottery" and a lot depends on which NHS Trust controls your area. and i don't know how good Birmingham is.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:06:16 +0000Rapper Chris Webby tackles politics in some of his songs. He's cursing out one politician after another.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:05:59 +0000Yep, if you want to poison a generation best to mix the poison in with some other stuff - otherwise no one will bite https://odysee.com/@StagedChessboard:a/Bob-Dylan's-Messianic-Kingdom:8Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:05:53 +0000Its not its getting better as Lab has funded it far more with more Medics, Nurses and resources. Most can now get Scans at weekend Hubs essential for Red Flags such as early cancer symptoms or Pneumonia etc. There are quicker diagnosis for serious issues. Labour's big majority reflected a country horrified by what Tories did to our free Health Care for all our families.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:05:28 +0000Undisputed by who?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:04:58 +0000There's your little ankle-biter again. Can you see it? 😊 Cute, like a mother and her little baby. 😊 I guess that is why people like yourself end up in compromised relationships, wherein you need to pay to play and then convince yourselves that is the way to go about it. Lacking something, to my mind. Easier to pay that to find a partner equal to them. Hey ho...it takes all sorts. Anyway, I don't think anything intelligent nor intelligible is going to emanate from your side, so let's leave it at that, shall we?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:04:42 +0000The subject has come up here often over the 22 years I have been on the forum and no one has ever posted a valid reference that there is a 90 day limit to use an IDP (with valid foreign license). The reason for that is because there is nothing in the Thai law that says there is any limit. The relevant law is Title 3, Section 42 of the Motor Vehicle Act. It is only a couple of paragraphs and has been posted one the forum multiple times. Insurance is possibly an issue but I have never seen a quote from an insurance policy that states that. Title 3 - Driver's license Section 42. A driver shall be licensed and shall, while driving or controlling other driving trainee in driving, possess driving license and a copy of vehicle registration certificate for producing immediately to the competent official, except the driving trainee under section 57. In case of a driver who is an alien temporarily permitted to reside in the Kingdom under the law on immigration may possess a driving license under section 42 bis while driving in the Kingdom. In this case there shall be accompanied such driving license with the document prescribed in the existing Convention or Agreement between Thai Government and the Government of such country for producing immediately to the competent official45. [The word “vehicle” is amended its spelling in Thai version under section 3 of the Vehicle Act (No. 12), B.E. 2546 (2003).] Section 42 bis 46. In the case where there is a bilateral agreement between the Government of Thailand and a foreign Government concerning reciprocal recognition of domestic driving licenses, an alien temporarily permitted to stay in the Kingdom under the law on immigration having a driving license issued by the competent official or a driving society recognized by the Government of the country under such bilateral agreement may use the driving license of such country in driving in the Kingdom in accordance with the category and type of vehicle specified in such driving license; provided that the existing Conventions and/or Agreements between the Government of Thailand and the Government of such country and all the provisions relating to the obligations of a driver under this Act must be complied. 45 Section 42 paragraph two is added by the Vehicle Act (No. 8), B.E. 2530 (1987). 46 Section 42 bis is added by the Vehicle Act (No. 8), B.E. 2530 (1987).Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:04:34 +0000Plain old extortion, and he's freely admitting it.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:04:04 +0000When I opened an account with BKB in Ban Kruat the manager asked his clerk if I was American. When I replied that I was English he said that was OK but he would not open accounts for Americans. Inconsistency, bigotry and racism exists in Thailand......especially rural Thailand.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:03:14 +0000It's also helpful to dehydrate the cukes in salt first. It draws out the fluids. Then rinse the salt off of them before you pickle them. They'll soak up more of the pickling brine, and faster.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:02:18 +0000Agree, also thinking this wasn't the weed but an act that finally had it's day. Doing drugs surely does help in anyone's defense in this type of crime. Tried "Spice" a couple of times, and it definitely should be avoided. Once it seemed like it took me an hour to drive a mile, another I had a conversation with Jesus, much to the amusement of my daughter.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:02:15 +0000"And the walls came tumbling down." It's been one disaster after another. Only Trump..... Oh, never mind.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:00:35 +0000And 'Parent of the Year' award goes to.....Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:00:30 +0000I asume that the COR is valid for 1 month, and the month starts when you pick it up, not when you apply. anyone applied with this new system?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 07:00:11 +0000He's raking in billions, but he still needs more. I urge the resident MAGA faithful to give all they can spare, and then double it. Anything less would be UNPATRIOTIC!!!Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:59:20 +0000Trump says he plans long July 4 speech in 100+ degree heat ‘just to show I can do anything https://www.wowt.com/2026/07/02/trump-says-he-plans-long-july-4-speech-100-degree-heat-just-show-i-can-do-anything/ NB one of Trump's long rambling weaving speeches harkens to the line attributed to Mark Twain: I didn't have time to write a one page letter so I wrote a 2-page letter.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:59:11 +0000I like this video. He is ridiculing most modern Hip Hop and comparing it to a classic by Otis Redding. Many people have very poor taste in music and don't care about the lyrics and are not able to discern music which is toxic to their souls.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:57:47 +0000A lot of very racist comments. Sad. I think it is a great idea - as a first step. Personally, I think all immigrants without visas Should be 'encouraged' to work within 3 months of arrival ( there are plenty of jobs in farm work in the summer, street cleaning etc.). Until they have repaid the 10,000 GBP, no access to full UK benefits, no leave to remain, or full rights. If they do not like it, the UK tax payer will give them a one way ticket home. Most of these illegals have spent thousands of pounds with traffickers to get to the UK. They are mainly not that poor. We need to make illegal entry a crime, and one that doesn't pay. As for the legal migrants - why are we allowing in hundreds of thousands of them when our own University graduates are struggling to find jobs? Should be strictly limited to health workers. Care home staff should be recruited on limited visas (say 5 or 10 years) and then they have to return.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 06:57:18 +0000RockFri, 03 Jul 2026 06:57:06 +0000
