https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenWhen still married my wife usually entered Thailand on her Thai passport but at some point switched to using the UK passport. So one year we travelled out as a family, using her UK passport and when she went to change some cash in a bank was refused as the passport had expired. But it got worse, 6 months previously she had travelled to Thailand and back to the UK on the same expired passport. Thinking what the hell to do now just winged it going back with Finn Air. At Helsinki the BA check in staff pointed out the passport had expired. This was before I realised you could travel back to the UK on an expired UK passport. But did beg the question 6 months prior she had left the UK, entered Thailand, left Thailand, entered the UK, left the UK again, entered Thailand again on an expired passport. I guess back then they didn't pay much attention as they do now.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:50:40 +0000Many thanks. happy to get 60day for peace of mind - if i can find it on the website :)Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:43:11 +0000Novorossiysk has become the first major Russian city to officially announce that it has run out of gasoline following a fuel crisis caused by Ukrainian drone strikes. Authorities in the Black Sea city in southern Russia stated that "there is currently no gasoline available at gas stations." Novorossiysk is a port city with a population of over 240,000 in the Krasnodar region, located not far from the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014. According to the news agency Reuters, Russia has already begun importing gasoline from India by ship. In addition, Kazakhstan has agreed to supply a total of 50,000 tonnes of fuel to Russia in July and August.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:40:57 +0000Cannabis...sleepy, hungry or funny, and doesn't make you a nut-job crazy knife stabbing stoner. That's alcohol, other drugs or mental health. I'd bet on the 1st two, and maybe some MH issues, and a little weed on top. But the other stuff, not cannabis likely contributed the most to this aggressive violent behavior.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:40:04 +0000Indeed but alas it's "the current domestic political situation" that may well take the country in another direction be it positive or negative. If you want to put the country first I don't see how you can ignore the politics of the day.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:39:25 +0000When are these Trump haters and conspirators ever gonna learn! This ethics filing should put a stop to any of Carroll’s and Kaplan’s preconceived notions of fraudulently spending someone else’s money while pursuing their cases. The public exposure of this alleged misconduct raises serious questions about the integrity of the entire legal effort against Trump.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:37:08 +0000Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:34:53 +0000YesFri, 03 Jul 2026 14:32:03 +0000English French German same same!Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:31:24 +0000Thanks for the gemini conclusion. I wonder what the prompt was to get this response? I just added this prompt: Evaluate this members post on a public forum. The VerdictGamma is full of it. They are using pseudo-intellectual film analysis to justify a standard "get off my lawn / the world is going to hell" grievance. It’s a classic forum post where the author feels deeply profound, but has actually said very little of substance. Personally I think Mr Gemini was a little harsh. I can't say I read your post but I read parts and I don't agree with the severe judgemental tone ;)Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:30:43 +0000Going to be a tough test, Mexico at the Azteca Stadium with the heat and the altitude. If England pass this test then they are worthy to go all the way, I would like to think it could happen but who knows, anything can happen in these knockout games …. the Portugal game was a good example. The doubtful penalty and the Croatia offside helped them big time !!Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:30:39 +0000BonerFri, 03 Jul 2026 14:30:36 +0000Thread concerns Bank Letter from BBL being restricted. Not about opening Bank account. Off topic chit chat will be removedFri, 03 Jul 2026 14:29:31 +0000That's it? The list should be endless.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:27:36 +0000Of the first white person to get a sweet and sour chicken Chinese tattoo.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:27:13 +0000There are many ways to trade these days, but the thread title mentions magnificent seven USD based stocks, so you can set up an international broker account with a Thai address, send them USD to fund the account and trade in USD. If you are not an American and live in Thailand you complete a foreign alien declaration W8-BEN form that avoids taxes on profits, but withholding taxes on any dividend payouts are instantly applied and only refunded by some brokers annually. I notice E*Trade refunds my WHT annually but my IBKR does not seem to.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:26:08 +0000The one I use gives you an address at their warehouse. I ship to that address from the merchant. The Shipping Company consolidates the packages and sends them to me in Thailand. I usually use DHL (3 to 5 days).Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:25:13 +0000Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:22:39 +0000Wake up, yourself....Sir..... This Topic is about the end of everything...... And the glory of what once was. Frank knew.....(Old Blue Eyes)....Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:22:28 +0000Your installer installed an inverter that's not on the PEA list ??Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:21:29 +0000Or you could just buy the stocks, lolFri, 03 Jul 2026 14:18:49 +0000Meh... a nothing burger. Markets on fire again, dividends juicier than ever. Mr Turmp proving he is a friend to Israel and the whole middle east. The entire world in fact.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:18:26 +0000True, he did pay for some sites and admitted it and agreed to a plea deal. He wrote about it extensively in his book and although I like to gripe about celebrities Townsend seems to have cleaned up his act.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:17:22 +0000I didn't know this. So you can basically daytrade and you don't need to report any income except dividents which would be taxed automatically anyway?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:14:53 +0000You said yourself, "Gallup measures pride, not patriotism. Pride is one sentiment; patriotism includes actions, service, and civic responsibility." That implies that the two are unrelated and that a measurement of one is meaningless in relation to the other. You also said, "Saying Republicans report higher pride doesn’t make it an ‘undisputed fact’ that they’re more patriotic — it just shows a difference in survey responses." So I provided polling to show that it is, in fact, a fact that they are more patriotic. I provided evidence for both claims that Republicans have more pride in their country AND are more patriotic. Do you dispute that?Fri, 03 Jul 2026 14:12:04 +0000
