https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenI am a westerner with an LTR-WP and I have gone through the 'Thai citizen' line many times. I usually travel with my Thai wife, but in almost every occasion thus far, I have been waved over to a second Thai line (and hence i am no longer with my Thai wife in line). The first couple times I was expecting questions (such as 'where is your wife' - where she was in a separate line), but that never happened. Based on that experience, if I were to encounter in the future what you noted (being unable to find the fast track line) I would also be temped to try the Thai citizen line, if the lineup small. The worst that can happen, I suspect, is that they will redirect one to a better line.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:36:12 +0000Trolling post removed. @JamesPhuket10 discuss the topic and note other posters or moderators.

An Iranian spokesman has reportedly said Iran's Uranium enrichment is not up for discustion and other ceasefire deals are lie's presented by the US. So what has Trump won ?Sat, 30 May 2026 07:32:36 +0000You missed the point. The father left the family is one fact. The children maybe want to join his funeral is another fact. If you mix those facts you might tell me the father did a horrible thing to die after separationSat, 30 May 2026 07:32:32 +0000It is in the general run of things totally meaningless, both for crime and tourism.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:31:38 +00005k, obviously.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:31:26 +0000Wow, you hadn't mentioned you write and sell apps for a few hours! Are you OK?Sat, 30 May 2026 07:31:04 +0000Regarding the receptionist. My understanding of Thai culture it is Not rude to tell the person what you want or need even of they are Not looking at you. If they are Not ready they will say something. ( I know in the West we expect eye contact and their attention) Regarding spending money. Yes, it is harder to spend money. Us Westerners have certain items we like or desire from our home country but are expensive to ship, pay tax on, and import. We learn to live with more locally produced goods, sold at local prices. I have definitely experienced the "Steering" from the salespeople. Additionally they will speak to my Thai Girlfriend. I've learned if it is something important to bring out the translation app on the phone. Another tactic is to politely stepping between the sales person and girlfriend. Normally they get the message.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:30:19 +0000An opportunity to assasinate him??Sat, 30 May 2026 07:30:04 +0000Dangerous profession.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:28:55 +0000Do you think they are going to stop doing any of those things, as long as Israel and the USA threaten them? They will continue, as it is in their best interest to do so. Who will protect them otherwise? The USA? You, much like the slippery US administration, move the goalposts to suit yourselves. No one trusts you anymore. Congratulations.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:28:50 +0000Which one, 5k or 66k? My EQ6 PRo was 18k, and works as if it is genuine. The SSD inside is Crucial nvme 1TB, the W11 is genuine, even though I have dumped Microsoft completely now and use Mint after progressing from msDos in the Nineties. So glad I did.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:28:25 +0000No its not. The software doent recognize or connect to older versions of phone OS so if your os on the phone you have is not supported then it wont work. Same with banking apps.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:28:11 +0000Utter rubbish !! U.S. Intelligence CommunityAssesses that Iran is years away (potentially up to three years) from mastering missile delivery systems, noting that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has not formally authorized a dedicated military weaponization program. Weaponization At the time when the JCPOA negotiations concluded, the U.S. intelligence community assessed that Iran would have needed one year to complete the necessary steps, not including fissile material production, for producing a nuclear weapon. This estimate assumed that Iran could complete fissile material production and weaponization in parallel. Iran, therefore, would have needed about one year to produce a nuclear weapon. Until recently, the U.S. intelligence community assessed that Iran had not resumed work on its weaponization research. A State Department official told CRS in an April 2022 email that Iran would have needed approximately one year to complete the necessary weaponization steps. This timeline took "into consideration assessed knowledge gaps" and reflected the intelligence community's "view of Iran's fastest reasonable path to overcome them," the official added. The current assessed public timeline is unclear. Then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley testified in March 2023 that Iran would need "several months to produce an actual nuclear weapon," but he did not explain the assumptions underlying this estimate. IAEA reports indicate that Iran does not yet have a viable nuclear weapon design or a suitable explosive detonation system. Tehran may also lack sufficient experience in producing uranium metal; weapons-grade HEU metal for use in a nuclear weapon is first "cast and machined into suitable components for a nuclear core https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12106 The 2026 Iran war was started by coordinated military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28, 2026. [1, 2] The joint operations—codenamed Operation Epic Fury by the U.S. and Roaring Lion by Israel—consisted of massive airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites, leadership, and nuclear infrastructure. The opening salvo resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other top official legitimacy in war does not happen in this war or the USA would have war crimes against it for killing schoolgirlsSat, 30 May 2026 07:27:58 +0000Fasion makes most try, but honest, very few suits or look good in whats reckoned as fashion. Take hot pants for an instanceSat, 30 May 2026 07:27:55 +0000Spot on. Not only did Israel incite this latest conflict with Iran to begin with, but they are the driving force behind its continuation. Every time a peace deal seems likely to be agreed upon, they sink it. Their strategy in the Middle East is obvious. Anybody who doesn't see it is either willfully ignorant or pushing an agenda.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:27:44 +0000In Canada, Vietnamese first undersized crabs where I live. 1.9 kg for nine lobsters are definitely juveniles.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:27:30 +0000Spain was at one point 95% muslim.

That's one of the reasons!Sat, 30 May 2026 07:26:10 +0000I have always found the staff professional and products sold at Thaiwatsadu very good. I've never had any issues. I like their early opening hours, I can squeeze in a couple of beers before store opens 🍺Sat, 30 May 2026 07:26:06 +0000The real problem is not 30/60. It's a complete lack of enforcement and properly due consequences for the dregs the place attracts for exactly those two reasons.Sat, 30 May 2026 07:25:40 +0000
