https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenLiberals don’t have any coherence of work in progress. Besides that the agreement weighs heavily on no nuclear enrichment and no funding of terrorist and if they don’t comply then Israel will blow them to smithereens. Who are the biggest losers here? The liberals are no doubt because they will go even farther into the gut filled hate. Please continue with the self destruction.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:41:06 +0000It's a toss up between Nero and Caligula isn't it? But at the same time a truly pathetic and cheap, plastic version of either. As a human being the only feeling I experience when watching or listening to Trump is 'fremdschämen'. Equally puke making to see his followers scraping and bowing and wallowing in his life's poop. Apart from his family everyone who has come close to him has been ruined, including now the American people - not only struggling with the basics of life. Now they have also completely lost the trust and respect and even love of their former friends and allies. They can't even get on with Canada now. Yet still the bozos cheer him on. That Republican elephant the other day was closer to the truth than any Magamoron.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:38:58 +0000Meaning you didn't pay 15K baht to an agent for no money in the bank cover.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:38:33 +0000Thats not quite true - my 1900 baht extensions are paid directly to Immigration - no agent involved whatsoever.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:36:05 +0000So President Obama unfroze $1.7 Billion, and trump is in the process of giving them $300 Billion. Art of the deal, I guess.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:36:03 +0000How much is Israel's share again???Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:35:58 +0000The guy is confused full stop, one of those troll things probably. Someone tell them it’s not UK nationals trying to eradicate another country… for a change.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:35:04 +0000Making no predictions, I posted this on the recent Krabi nominee topic: The 6JAN 2021 Washington DC bomber (bombs placed but didn't explode) was caught after 5 years. All the raw information had been obtained early on but it took programs with so much more horsepower to link like the Home Depot receipts, Cell phone data, shoes and backpack, license plate video, etc. etc. which is how or they finally found the guy.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:34:36 +0000We each got to sign my Physics teacher /Football coach's swatter afterwards. He put some white coach tape on a yardstick and that's how he kept order in the classroom. Strangely, parents were onboard back in the day. And kids could read and do math...Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:34:04 +0000When they weaponized Woke as a powerful, catch-all rallying cry to mobilize voters for dear leader. So you finally woke up and realized that Woke is now despised and rejected across the political spectrum.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:34:04 +0000I get stamped out of Swampy every time because the e-gates reject my US passport. Happened several times in a row, so I just walk over to the nice Immigration Officers without even trying the e-gates any more. The people "directing traffic" don't stop anyone. They even tried my passport themselves on the e-gates and they got the same result. No luv. That's handy info for anyone who needs an exit stamp for whatever reason. It doesn't hurt to have the proof, and there's virtually no queue any more. The immigration stamp itself is no longer regarded as definitive proof of entry or exit. In modern immigration systems, the authoritative record is the electronic entry within the national immigration database. The issue in this case appears to be that the stamps in the individual's passport did not correspond with any matching digital immigration records. In effect, the stamp becomes little more than a physical annotation; it is the immigration officer's entry into the central system that ultimately validates the movement. Regarding your experience with Thailand's immigration e-gates, is your U.S. passport biometric (i.e. does it display the ICAO biometric passport symbol on the front cover)? The Auto-e-Immigration Gate reads the MRZ (machined readable zone - bottom two lines of text) first to unlock and read the RFID information stored in the chip (process called basic access control) - The gate then compares the information stored on the chip with the live image captured by the gate camera to verify ID and then compare to the Immigration Database to verify status. There maybe several reasons why an e-gate may reject you... i.e. poor positioning during scanning, a dirty scanner, lighting issues, or simply a temporary system fault - but repeated failure points to something else - damage on the MRZ, a variation in facial features (a lot fatter ? a lot skinner) resulting in a difference between stored Image and auto-gate identification, or possible damage to the passports embedded RFID chip (through physical damage, wear, or electronic failure etc) - hence you are diverted to a staffed immigration desk for manual processing. Having used immigration e-gates across numerous countries, my experience has been that they are generally reliable, but sometimes hit-n-miss and occasionally one will reject a perfectly valid passport for no obvious reason, requiring intervention by an immigration officer.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:34:04 +0000He was taking weed to the UK, not to Turkey.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:33:17 +0000Aye, nothing like a good fatal beating now and then to instill that discipline into children. If my teachers and parents hadn't given me those beatings I wouldn't be half the man I am today.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:32:10 +0000According to reporting, this ‘deal’ (let’s remember that it is merely a MOU, not a treaty) will be signed on Friday in Geneva by Vance, Kushner, and Witcoff. Donald isn’t staying in Europe to sign it. This is a man who wants his name and his seismic signature on everything. But not on this? Why not? Is it really that bad?Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:32:05 +0000The family already set it up when they were first arrested.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:31:36 +0000AustinTue, 16 Jun 2026 06:31:16 +0000Well we shall see in November in the mid terms?Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:31:04 +0000I never said it did not. That you deflected to my English skills shows your lack of integrity.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:30:28 +0000Some high profile Americans have been convicted, like Weinsrein, Cosby, Epstein, Masterson etcTue, 16 Jun 2026 06:30:09 +0000Passports are scanned on the way out now, no stamp. Agree about the dodgy stamps and chasing down those ‘agents’ (perhaps even Imm officers), but the Thai authorities do tend to revel in it and close the book quick when they get their man, esp if it’s a foreigner. If this really happened, he does come across a tad naive, but harsh all the same. Murderers seemingly get leaner treatment and potential sentences. Grating that those on here using agents themselves gloat about it though, boomers probably. Ok, you may think your agent is legit, but if you’re one of those that is using one to avoid showing monies and get registered at a different provincial address, you are circumventing the system. Guaranteed they’ll close that loophole eventually, if they haven’t already. Karma can be a b*tch.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:28:29 +0000MaestroTue, 16 Jun 2026 06:26:39 +0000Most be regretting that now then .Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:25:56 +0000lol the Yanks talk a good war when it comes to fighting they have to ask other countrys to help them out, when they refuse Trump throws the baby out with the Bath Water and runs round like a headless chicken trying to sneak away leaving others to clear up his mess.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:25:45 +0000Why can't Brits say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:25:00 +0000All quiet on the SOH front. https://hormuzstraitmonitor.comTue, 16 Jun 2026 06:24:53 +0000
