If your DNS is currently set to your ISP then try changing your DNS to Google (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) IPv4 or (2001:4860:4860::8888 or 2001:4860:4860::8844) IPv6. If you have admin access to your router then that is the best place to set it up, otherwise change the DNS on your PC/Laptop/Phone.  If you also want to block most ads on all your devices try setting your router DNS to AdGuard DNS. AdGuard is completely focused on ad blocking and privacy. It intercepts ad requests before they can even download to your device and blocks Ads, Trackers, and Malware. Set your DNS to 94.140.14.14 or 94.140.15.15</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:36:18 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Quiet Frustration of Being Called &#x201C;Farang&#x201D;</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395237-the-quiet-frustration-of-being-called-farang/?do=findComment&comment=20523620]]></link><description>I hear it a lot.

There's no secret there. The flotillas are to focus world attention on the shameless, disproportionate atrocities visited upon Gaza.  If what actually happened? You mean cut on hand? I'm sure it did. And I also have no doubt it was an accident. You need a utility knife to cut off zipties. Yes, it was a bit of whining.  Frankly, I think many activists today have a) not been trained in nonviolence and b) have no idea what can happen in an arrest.   I've been brutalised by police and soldiers in demonstrations. Their tensions run high. They're as afraid of us as we are of them. They've been trained to expect a violent responce so they use pre-emptive violence.  If you're properly trained in nonviolent responce and de-escalation, it's still no fun but you're mentally prepared for whatever happens.  Bottom line is, Ben-Gvir was directing his police. He allowed them to be violent. There was never any issued of "national security"! Ben-Gvir whipped up his police with defending nationalism.  Although I agree that the flotilla is largely symbolic, there's no earthly reason int'ls should not be going to Gaza.</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:33:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why does Immigration need a hard copy if it&#x2019;s on their screen?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395398-why-does-immigration-need-a-hard-copy-if-its-on-their-screen/?do=findComment&comment=20523617]]></link><description>Man, it was your lucky day. I've been in the same situation, had a fresh Non-O in the passport but asked for the exempt entry (30 days at the time).  I was only going to be in-country for less than a week, and returning in about a two weeks after that with the plan to enter on the visa when I returned.  No sir, can not. Explanation was, you have the visa in the passport, that's how your entry is processed. You don't get the option of entering exempt. A couple of IOs got involved and said that's 'the rule'.  In the next few days made a trip to CW to get a re-entry permit, make sure the (clock already ticking) 90-day entry would still be 'alive' when I returned.  Not a major issue, no, but I would have liked the exempt entry.</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:32:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Tells US Team Not to Rush Iran Deal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395274-trump-tells-us-team-not-to-rush-iran-deal/?do=findComment&comment=20523616]]></link><description>Do not worry, Usa started bombing again,   We got a deal, we have very soon a deal, we got a deal, soon, soon, braking news soon, what a hell we are bombing again,</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:30:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Travel for 2 weeks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395267-travel-for-2-weeks/?do=findComment&comment=20523615]]></link><description>You must show proof of funds of 20,000 Baht upon entry... this amount should be sufficient for 2 weeks in LOS........</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:30:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cannabis Sales Continue Despite Thai Regulations</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395342-cannabis-sales-continue-despite-thai-regulations/?do=findComment&comment=20523614]]></link><description>Sadly idiots run the show.

And that is probably why many older people often have the same favourite cup. It gives them the familiar taste they have become used to. Same as a beer glass or wine glass can make a quite different experience too. Small details maybe, but if you care about taste, those details matter.</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 04:27:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Andrew Drummond and Adam Howell</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395037-andrew-drummond-and-adam-howell/?do=findComment&comment=20523608]]></link><description>It seems that you are the desperate one.
