The US used to be “all countries” in one place until Trump decided a lot of productive immigrants just didn’t deserve to share the bounty. The US did not “win” WWII. It had a lot of help. That was a war declared by Congress. There hasn’t been one since, which makes all those wars after 1945 illegal. What’s Rocket Boy learning, exactly? Selling nukes to Iran, maybe? The US has always fancied itself the all-powerful world police in every administration. What innocent lives were lost by American inaction? And what lives were lost and where? Sure. Iran bad. I agree. Not our business.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:51:46 +0000I'd like to know the towns and villages in Thailand that have a market on every corner selling 75 baht a bottle? my nearest market in the town i live in in Thailand that does that is 10 minutes away on a motorbike, my nearest spoons in my hometown in the UK is 5 min walk. We can both play that game. That wasn't my point. My point is he's exaggerating how cheap it is here. It's cheaper than the uk on that there is no doubt, but to imply that 2quid pints is the norm is nonsense.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:47:32 +0000There's no reason for the estate agents to be published if they're not doing anything wrong, all they're doing is selling. Accountants or lawyers, nominees and the foreign "owners" are the ones in the wrong, legally.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:43:36 +0000That's because MIKE, US wages are outrageously high. Just found out that average salary for UPS driver is 150k with healthcare fully covered. In Canada UPS drivers make 50k which is about... what....36k USD? You will notice i never bash Americans here because it is a great country. We in canada don't have these opportunities. My wife in canada has zero opportunities. I think in the end I will just sell my property, move to Thailand and invest everything in US equities.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:42:11 +0000More likely the soon ex Governor russled some feathers so was quickly moved on.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:41:52 +0000Sea Shepherd and its activists have deliberately sunk or sabotaged multiple whaling and pirate fishing vessels over the years.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:41:33 +0000BenzWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:41:18 +0000Sheesh, okay. The $300 billion is structured as a private investment vehicle, not direct government grants or taxpayer money from the U.S.. It will be backed by a consortium of investors from the U.S., Gulf Arab states, Asia, South America, and Africa. If you believe that, you're a gullible man. Of course, the US taxpayer will be on the hook. Israel should be paying this for reparations with no strings. The US has spent an estimated $29 billion in direct military operations, with independent trackers estimating the overall taxpayer burden at $113.3 billion. Daily short-term operational costs range between $890 million and $2 billion. Sorry, so way more than $70B. Israel Finance Ministry put the budgetary cost of the war with Iran at approximately $11.5 billion (35 billion shekels). This includes about $7.2 billion for direct military and defense operations, alongside $3.9 billion for civilian and business compensation. War is not cheap. You got different figures? Let's hear 'em.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:38:46 +0000KarlWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:35:37 +0000It was not reported that he was involved in illegal nominees, it was reported that he was working illegally, though.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:34:34 +0000It's probably a very good idea that nobody marks your words... except to give them a mark of 0/10Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:32:07 +0000Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:30:38 +0000MarxistWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:30:25 +0000CommunistWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:29:45 +0000PartyWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:28:04 +0000I just wonder the reference to "original application" could, in fact, mean the first extension of stay application rather than original non-O or non-OA visas used to enter Thailand. In the case of retirees, for instance, it's always been my understanding that these visas are issued on the grounds of being aged 50+ rather than specifically for retirement. So how would the powers-that-be be able to go back further than the original extension application in determining consistency (or otherwise) on the Reason issue?Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:27:26 +0000I believe those with illegal assets are given 6 months to dispose of them after which they are seized as government assets.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:25:08 +0000Several reports indicated that the Thais are also being investigated but they won't be arrested until the investigations have been completed, as happened in this case.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:22:42 +0000BirthdayWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:20:44 +0000No, it isn't, it's being done to get rid of illegal foreign competition.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:20:04 +0000As they are all being investigated and reported publicly, yes.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:18:06 +0000I was looking at houses in Rayong last month. Long story short my agent called me today and said the house I like is available for rent. With any luck this will solve my face/neck/skin issues. and yes, I will still have the condo in Jomtien for 11 more months unless the landlord is willing to find a renter before my lease expires. All in all my skin problems may be solved.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:17:21 +0000HappyWed, 17 Jun 2026 15:15:24 +0000Nonsense, as has been frequently reported, they're all being investigated also.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:08:24 +0000Straw man $hit.
