Zelensky - what possessed you?
The de-evolution of the US---from a nation that once at least pretended to have values and ideals, and often behaved as if it did---into this self-serving, transactional, cold, immoral coward is astonishing. Some of us have gone into harm's way for what that nation used to be. Today, it is a nation totally unworthy of any sacrifice. When the US sides with the likes of dictator-run Russia, commie China, and the bizarre hellhole that is the DPRK, the USA that once knocked on the door of greatness has become a piece of sh!t. At the very least it is time for productive States to secede, and leave MAGAstan to wallow in the rancid cesspool of its own design. MAGAstan can have its Coward King, a fat man jealous of a golfer's junk, a failure who barely survived a massive inheritance and loans co-signed by daddy until a fantasy creator named Mark Burnett manufactured something good enough to fool the moronic and forlorn masses, which is to say the MAGAs. I feel the need to apologize to friends and colleagues I lost serving what once was. They gave their lives for nothing, and their land morphed into something despicable, something bleak and ugly, something that is against every ideal and value for which they fought. How weak the country must have been that it could be destroyed by someone so banal, so mediocre, so without any character or integrity, so lacking in any decent human quality, a mendacious, juvenile, crybaby, vindictive, serial philandering, Narcissistic, misogynist, racist pile of subhuman filth. And those who champion him are no better; they are the morons predicted a hundred years ago by H. L. Mencken. -

Europe is a failed empire. High unemployment while the US has the biggest military and the biggest economy. Germany is the biggest EU country and has 6.2% unemployment. Recently booted the leftist leader. -

Transfer USA Social Security to Bangkok Bank using International Direct Deposit
For funds that are leaving the US (like transfer to Thailand) the standard ACH transfer method via Bangkok Bank NY branch stopped working in in late 2019 "unless it was a US govt payment like SSA, military retirement, etc. as the US Treasury gave US govt agencies a waiver until they could get govt system upgraded to utilize the ACH "IAT" transfer format. So, if a person was transferring funds from say his US bank like Bank of America, Schwab, Capital One, etc., unless those bank offered/utilized ACH IAT format Bangkok Bank NY branch would reject the transfer. But as mentioned US govt agencies had a waiver. Unfortunately, few US bank use ACH IAT format except for certain business type account at some bank. As mentioned ACH could still be used if the ACH was in the IAT (International ACH Transaction) format which is basically the standard ACH transfer format but with additional info required like address, phone number, etc. Let's just call this method the "International ACH" transfer format which is different from the "Standard ACH" transfer format used to transfer funds between banks "physically with the U.S." The ACH IAT format is similar to an international Wire/SWIFT transfer format. More details here: https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/Transfers/Transferring-Into-Thailand/Transfer-money-from-US-to-Thailand-via-Bangkok-Bank-NewYork-branch When you go to your Bangkok Bank branch many of them will only offer/talk the original ACH transfer method for a US govt pension as that method still works for payments from US govt agencies such as SSA, etc., however, you must open a special/restricted Bangkok Bank acct. Bangkok Bank prefers this method because it earned them fees as the payment passes thru their NY branch and a receiving fee at your in-Thailand Bangkok Bank branch. Now if you want to use the IDD method a different form is required as stated before and then the payment flows via the SWIFT system with the last leg of the transfer occurring over the Bank of Thailand "BAHTNET" transfer system which interfaces with the SWIFT system. When arriving your bank via BAHTNET the coding on the acct will reflect BAHTNET in some way....like Bangkok Bank and some other Thai banks use the coding of "BTN" for BAHTNET. Transfer via BAHTNET are reflected as "domestic/intra-Thailand" transfers although the funds could have originated outside of Thailand. If you want to use the IDD method to your "regular Thai bank acct" just use IDD. Complete the SSA IDD form for Thailand to send to the SSA. Now banks may not want to complete/sign their section of the form as it's not a Thai bank form....it will vary from bank to bank as to that policy. If that occurs you can complete the part at the bottom without the bank signature block completed but including a memo with the form you send to the SSA that the bank will not sign a form that is not their own form, but you are confirming the SWIFT code and bank acct number are correct. SSA understands some foreign banks will not sign certain forms that are not a form utilized by the bank. So, if you want to use the ACH method with the special/restricted acct provisions you still can when it's a US govt payment as the US govt has a waiver from having to use the ACH IAT format. Or, use the IDD method and then the funds can be sent to any Thai bank (including Bangkok Bank) to a regular Thai baht acct. Up to you. -

Thai alternatives to smoking cannabis?
I know e-cigs are illegal and maybe also oil vaporisers, but not sure dry herb vaporisers are illegal. However spending money on a vaporiser just to try weed for the first time is a bit of a jump. If you never tried using weed try smoking joints a few times. If you like it then search for a vaporiser that suits you - there are so many types and brands in a wide range of prices. As for were to use - not allowed in public basically.
