You’re also mixing being transgender (transgenderism?) with gender dysphoria.

The subscription means little, as you can cancel it soon after you subscribe and it will run to the end of that payment period. It seems that two of the plans are not offered for a Monthly payment; Essential and Pro Lite. If you want either of those, it seems you'll have to pay for a year up front. Essential is around 1600 baht with Pro Lite coming in at around 2400 baht. 200GB and 750GB respectively, if I remember correctly. Monthly seems to start at 400 baht per month with Pro 1. Your Thai card may be blocked for Online or International Payments. There is usually an option to unblock via their mobile applications. If you don't use those, you may need to call them to unblock and then again to block again.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:28:59 +0000Branston Beans, Lazada, are my new go to.....69B (at times).....tins look like someone played football with them.

Johnson (LBJ). When explaining why he decided to retain the controversial and highly powerful J. Edgar Hoover as the Director of the FBI rather than firing him, Johnson pragmatically noted: 'It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.'"Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:27:29 +0000Here are three realistic exit strategies if you’re sitting on a property held through a 49/51 SPV in Thailand. Each option balances risk, cost, and control differently: 1. Convert to Leasehold (Least Disruptive)How it works : Transfer the land title from the SPV to a Thai individual (trusted partner or nominee) and simultaneously register a 30‑year lease in your name. Pros : Leasehold is fully legal under Thai law. You retain control for 30 years, with renewal clauses often added. Lower risk of confiscation compared to a nominee company. Cons : You don’t “own” the land outright. Renewal after 30 years is not guaranteed — depends on Thai law at that time. Best for : Those who want to secure use of the property without dismantling everything immediately. 2. Restructure the SPV (Middle Ground)How it works : Replace nominee shareholders with genuine Thai investors who contribute real capital and participate in management. Issue preference shares to yourself to retain voting control. Pros : Keeps the company structure intact. Can satisfy Land Office scrutiny if shareholders are legitimate. You maintain influence through preference shares. Cons : Requires finding trustworthy Thai partners. More complex paperwork and ongoing compliance. Best for : Those who want to keep the “company ownership” model but make it legally defensible. 3. Exit to Condominium Freehold (Most Protective)How it works : Sell the land and reinvest in a condo unit where foreigners can own up to 49% outright. Pros : 100% legal foreign ownership. No need for Thai shareholders or SPVs. Easy resale and inheritance. Cons : You lose the land/house setup. Condo living may not suit rural or villa preferences. Best for : Those who prioritize security of ownership over lifestyle flexibility. ⚖️ Bottom LineLeasehold : Keeps your house, but you’re a tenant in law. Restructured SPV : Keeps the company, but you need real Thai partners. Condo freehold : Bulletproof ownership, but lifestyle trade‑off.

As such scores they achieved will be deemed illegal and all players will now all be held by ICE pending a review. America will now move on to the next round.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:21:46 +0000Best news I've heard for a long while.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:21:22 +0000This is why the USA should not be allowed to host the world cup for "the beautiful game" for another 100 years at least. I know FIFA are desperate for the USA to adopt proper football rather than the game they play with their hands but it really is a lost cause, at least for this generation. Twice now the USA have been given the privilege of this tournament in the last 32 years, and their capacity to understand and play this game is no further forward today than it was back in 1994. It might have even gone backwards. FIFA should give hosting opportunities back to actual footballing nations for the next 100 years as you cannot force a round ball into an egg shaped hole.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:21:08 +0000Ayam Baked Beans today 39 baht, 425g/240g drained weight.
