https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenI hope so. But - not sure if you've seen the various news reports - in recent days there have been several from across the country where the Republicans have managed to successfully change the voting constituency boundaries (of course in their favour). If they keep this up, the Midterms could be much harder to win for the Dems that many presently believe.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:27:04 +0000Yes. Means it has become law.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:26:26 +0000Well yes we know you have no problem with Israel doing the ‘again’ bit to Palestinians.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:25:05 +0000People kill over far less than that figure and add onto that the fact that many are becoming desperate under the current situation. Showing wealth now can easily attract the wrong attention, especially if you are in an isolated place/situation.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:24:44 +0000You might be right. I'm sure he'll try something. Maybe a full-blown 2nd coup attempt, or using ICE as provocateurs combined with as many voting restrictions as he can. Obviously, he's trying to rig the system to his advantage by gerrymandering the voting districts.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:24:38 +0000Russia does not seem as powerful as most people thought ,when Putin started this war , you expected him to be in Kyiv in a few days ,how wrong we were , how long is it now 4 years ,Ukraine knows how to fight a supposed super power, at the moment Russian is losing more men than it can recruit /Pressgang, regards WorgeordieSat, 30 May 2026 10:21:53 +0000That's true look at what happened when Biden had power or was that the auto pen that had power?.... I'm still waiting for somebody to take responsibility for all thatSat, 30 May 2026 10:20:38 +0000You hate muslims. I suppose you never ate Turkish pizza too. Too bad you have to eat it with hands and muslims made it. Oh the horror!Sat, 30 May 2026 10:19:47 +0000Why? Because this is Thailand where, often, things operate in a reverse way. In the real world you inform the authorities if there is a change. In Thailand you need to do the opposite and inform them that nothing has changed. Not that they ever check anything anyway. All I do is hand over my passport, a junior member of staff stamps it and pins my next pointless appointment date in it and I'm out of there in minutes. No-one even asks me anything, such as prove you're at the same address as 90 days ago. And I'm sure everyone else experiences the same. I'm amazed they still want to persist in the pantomime as they implement changes. Maybe the app asks for proof? I always appear in person at the Kalasin office I use as 1 - it rarely has more than two or three 'customers', 2 - it's well under an hour from home, 3 - wife and I can stock up in Big C and Makro, 4 - I have the time to do it and 5 - the staff are a jolly bunch, always smiling and joking with each other.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:19:10 +0000Thank you I don't think so. I think you've been drinking so much of that Kool aid that you actually believe what you're supposed toSat, 30 May 2026 10:18:57 +0000They ran out of washing machines,shovels and ball bearings yonks ago Russia will surely collapse anytime soon..21st sanctions package will deliver the killer blow for sure this time or perhaps the 150 Gripen war planes..SAAB obviously delighted for a piece of the latest 90 billion Euro's boondoggle. If the Netanyahu/Trump war continues for much longer many places will really be without petrol and diesel and gas fertiliser and food...Sat, 30 May 2026 10:17:38 +0000What a tough decision the family had to make. I would not second guess anything relative to this man’s diagnosis nor the doctor’s or family’s decision. All of us on here are just armchair quarterbacks with opinions. Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one! I hope the family can find some peace and consolation with this loss.Sat, 30 May 2026 10:16:23 +0000Perhaps because it is genuine. The 5028 baht advertisement touts the EQI 13 Pro, but with EQ 13 spec. Quite different models. If it were were even an EQ 13, I would snap one up. EQI 13 PRO at US$639 31,000 baht and up in Thailand EQ 13 at US$ 200 to US$259 If you find one, they may be around 15000 baht. 5,028 baht? No chance!

Also, Im a bit mystified why this is suddenly news again during the past 24 hours. This was all announced many weeks ago and the 2-5 disappeared following the announcement. I've been buyin wine and whisky in the afternoon for many weeks. Is the 'new' news just that it has passed the Royal Gazette? Or maybe the airports, hotels and other places that got a reprieve were awaiting the formal approval? Is that what's new?Sat, 30 May 2026 10:15:09 +0000Perhaps because it is genuine.

But I haven't tried to take my Thai spouse or family with me through fast track on basis of LTR-P.
