It's a thread alleging that Michelle is transgender. Surely, you know transgenders do indeed exist, having lived in Thailand? If you wish you dismiss it as nonsense, it's your right. It's almost impossible to prove just from photos. And we'll never know why the UFC fighter decided to bring up Michelle's alleged sex change at a UFC match.</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:47:08 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Old school Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397230-old-school-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20565130]]></link><description>Just remembered the one near Lumpini he said was in Jusmag.</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:46:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Phuket Land & Nominee Crackdown Ordered]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397043-phuket-land-nominee-crackdown-ordered/?do=findComment&comment=20565129]]></link><description>Who to?

Prior to living here I travelled the World extensively. I soon learned that any country you go to just play their games. If the laws and immigration rules don't suit you just move on. There's other options in Asia that you can consider. Everyone knows that Thai officials have regular brain f**ts so be prepared before you consider holidaying here. The prime reason for holidaying to Thailand is the birds and booze. Other Asian countries have plenty of both if that's what you desire.</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:26:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ex Ubon Governor Jailed 27 Years Over Corruption Case</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397270-ex-ubon-governor-jailed-27-years-over-corruption-case/?do=findComment&comment=20565122]]></link><description>How much suffering was caused by the disaster relief funds being diverted by hiim?</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:26:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Government Urged to Tighten Foreign Condo Ownership Rules</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397166-government-urged-to-tighten-foreign-condo-ownership-rules/?do=findComment&comment=20565121]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest hurdle to buying a Condo to me is the tax on the money you have to bring over to buy it.

An inability to prove universal innocence does not prove universal guilt.  "Name a political figure who does not lie" is not a fair challenge. I can't prove that any politician has never lied, just as you can't prove that every politician has lied. The inability to name someone who is certainly truthful doesn't demonstrate that all politicians are dishonest. By the same logic, if I asked you to name a scientist, doctor, or teacher who has never lied in their entire life, failing to do so wouldn't prove that all scientists, doctors, or teachers are liars.  Why should politicians be held to a standard that you don't apply to yourself? Can you name a business executive, journalist, academic, or ordinary person who can be proven never to have lied? When  was the last time you lied? If not, does that mean everyone in those professions is inherently dishonest? Of course not.  We don't need to identify a politician who can be proven never to have lied. We only need to identify politicians for whom there is no established finding or widely accepted evidence of deliberate lying. There are many such figures. The burden remains on you,  claiming that every politician lies, to demonstrate intentional deception by each individual politician, not merely to point out that perfect proof of lifelong honesty is unattainable.</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:14:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Driving Out Foreigners It Once Courted</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397220-thailand-driving-out-foreigners-it-once-courted/?do=findComment&comment=20565116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Same here,  I don't circumvent the financial requirements I simply use an Agent so I don't have to deal with "Immigration Related Nonsense"...
