Using Thai Phone Charger in Panama – Voltage/Frequency Question
Buy a new charger in Panama. There are travel adaptors that do, but plug adaptors generally do not change voltage. Or buy a chargeable power bank. -

How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?
I'm old. I carry Glock. Just easy to shoot and I shoot well with it. Let's not be bigoted against Glocks. Actually in the area I live in I rarely carry. So heavy and a hassle and it's hot so conceped is hard too. And the last murder in my little community was probably between an Army dude and the native Americans and someone might have been scalped. 🤣 -

Look at the mess the dems have made public education in the USA. The dems ruin everything they touch. They also built a built a federal government that we can’t afford. -

How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?
No, not at all because when I see a MAGA hat I know that the wearer is more than likely a "poorly educated" person and also that they have been taken in by the supreme grifter, and it wouldn't surprise me to know that they had also bought the sneakers and the NFT's. So I smile when I see posts like this knowing full well that they worship the convicted felon, and there's no helping them. -

Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
You should read what I am saying properly it's not blaming Thais it's the corruption from the government and the lack of proper checks and safety, lack of road control from the government and the harm that the government is now planning to build casinos which will cause major issues for Thai people, I am married to a Thai I have a son from her I support her mother for 15 years why would I blame Thai people, it's the corruption and government that's to blame. -

Crime Thai Prosecutor and Daughter Arrested in Japan for Assaulting Airport Staff
Possibly... Thai tourists, unfortunately, tend to carry a rather poor reputation in Japan. Over the past five years - particularly since the introduction of visa-easing measures - there’s been a marked increase in Thai visitors, alongside an even more significant influx of Chinese tourists. This surge has arguably intensified a growing local resentment towards mass tourism in general in Japan. Japanese airline ground staff, especially at check-in counters, can be astonishingly pedantic. They enforce regulations with almost robotic precision - a single kilogram over the baggage allowance or a centimetre beyond size limits can incur additional fees, no exceptions. I once found myself in such a situation. My bag, containing ski equipment, measured 191cm - just 1cm over the stated limit. What followed was a minor circus with multiple staff members getting involved over the 1cm drama.. ... I stood the bag up, shook it, laid it down, asked them to re-measured... it was declared acceptable. And therein lies the issue: what in Thailand might be overlooked as a trivial discrepancy is, in Japan, handled with rigid formality. Pair that cultural contrast with a simmering frustration over ‘over-tourism’ and perhaps a sense of entitlement or a “Do you know who I am?” attitude from some visitors... and you’ve got the perfect conditions for the kind of incident we so often read about. As for the matter of the man grabbing the woman’s arm - it’s inappropriate and very wrong, I don’t condone it. But to label it as assault seems to be rather a stretch...
