Online shopping abroad, but delivering to Thailand.
Thanks for your help. I didn't really want to contact my card provider, as though I am registered in the UK, I am living here in Thailand. I was hoping that someone might have been in a similar situation, but it's not the end of the world, I can wait until my next rip back to the UK and order it then. But thanks once again for going out of your way to reply with your kind advice. -

Homestay Japan?: Best option for youth wishing to have an overseas experience?
Dear Friends, This recent tragedy is rather overwhelming to so many around the world. Why? Maybe it's partially due to the victims' youth, and also the randomness of the tragedy. And, also, the fact that these young people were just following their dream to enjoy a first experience in a foreign land. If done right, and with proper planning, one's first experience abroad should be an experience that can be invaluable for future growth.... Etc., etc., etc.... In my view, one of the best ways to obtain one's first experience living in a foreign land might be to take advantage of programs such as HomeStay Japan. Through participation in these types of programs, children and young adults can learn much about the world, and these programs can even become a plus on one's resume or CV..... Unlike...perhaps....time spent at places like JaiDee's, ....and this is just my humble opinion. Therefore, I would urge parents whose children are seeking an experience abroad to consider HomeStay, a program which is usually highly supervised. Foreign-language training is often offered, and this can be a plus. Living with a family in countries such as Japan offers additional advantages that one cannot get through tipsy-tubing down some unsupervised river in Lao, too. When I was younger, I lived with several families in Japan and Taiwan. The friends I met while living with these families are still my friends, today. If one is interested in learning about a "foreign culture", then there is probably no better setting for doing just that. If I had a daughter, under age 25, I would encourage her to do what I did at that age. I just wonder why more parents do not consider the advantages of HomeStay, as an alternative to other ways of spending College-Gap years, or even just a three-month vacation abroad. For sure, HomeStay is far safer. Most Japanese families grow to care about their young guests almost as much as they do about their own children. Japan is one of the safest countries one can visit. And, in my view, Japanese culture is one that promotes safety and security, almost above everything else. If I were to entrust my daughter to a family, then I would guess that I would choose a Japanese family. And, it is often the case that these Japanese families do not accept a young person into their homes for money. Cultural exchange is much more important, and some families will spend much more on their guests than they receive. Therefore, I just wonder: Why don't more families who have children wishing to go abroad not consider this HomeStay option? Doesn't make much sense to me. Is it that they have not considered the advantages? Or, might they not be aware that there are many programs of this nature that exist? What are the best HomeStay programs in Japan....anyway? It would be best to find a program which is run by the Japan gov....no doubt. Who knows if these might be good: https://homestay-in-japan.com/ https://homestayinjapan.com/ For a young person making a first trip abroad, I would think that Japan can not be beat. And, when I was doing homestay, the family gave me O-Sake, once a night, and it was a pleasurable experience, with the entire family sitting around on tatami. I wish I were young enough to do it again....in fact. Best regards, Gamma -

RFK Jr. compared Trump to Hitler and his fans idiots
Good point! Real good point. My guess is not until Trump has him sign over the deed to the Kennedy Compound at Hyannis Port into Trump’s name. Then it’s “Deal Done”. The Art of the Deal. -

Cheapest good weed now ? I found 350 thb/gram but not cheaper yet, any idea ?
I don't think it is PGR. The medical cannabis in Australia grown by Pure Sunfarms in greenhouses in Canada looks similar. https://puresunfarms.com/formats/flower/
