Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
This is a s bit difficult to explain, but I'll try: 1. The arrival date is the date on which you arrive in Thailand by air, sea or land. 2. The departure date is the date you plan to leave Thailand. Therefore, the departure date cannot be earlier than the arrival date. 3. Data input on the form is compulsory only for the fields marked with a red asterisk. The fields in the section "Departure" are not compulsory. -

Accident Man Killed After Tree Falls on Shelter During Thunderstorm in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 51-year-old man was killed in the early hours of 11 may, when a large tree was brought down by strong winds and rain, crushing the makeshift shelter where he was staying in western Bangkok. Police and forensic investigators from Siriraj Hospital were called to the scene in Soi Phutthamonthon Sai 3 Soi 18, in Salathammasop subdistrict, Thawi Watthana district, after receiving reports of a fatal incident involving a fallen tree. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a large sakae tree had collapsed over a small shack on a 2-rai plot of land. Inside, the body of Mr. Buala, 51, was found shirtless and wearing only shorts. He had sustained severe head injuries, and rescuers had to cut through the branches to retrieve his body. A local resident, Mr. Duean Phongchaliao, 62, reported that a violent storm struck the area the previous evening. Heavy rain and powerful winds caused the tree to topple onto the shelter. Initially, he approached the site to check on the occupant but saw no one. Concerned when the man did not appear an hour later, he returned to investigate and discovered the victim’s lifeless body beneath the tree. Mr. Buala was employed as a caretaker of the land where the incident occurred. His body has been sent to the Forensic Institute at Siriraj Hospital for a post-mortem examination. The incident comes amid a wave of severe weather affecting several parts of Thailand. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-12. -

Regarding Inhaling Modern-Day Refrigerants: Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why.
Also, I have never been that much worried by .... Disorientation or Narcosis, which are two of my favorite things. This is why, when I have many leaks from my favorite brand of AC, it worries me NILCH.... But, the thing which I cannot accept, is that this garbage brand of AC is just too substandard. When you need cool, it gives you heat. Still, if you like a challenge, then please just buy the brand of AC that I did. Total garbage, IMHO. Enjoy....!!!! ===================== Keep in mind that, in lower concentrations, a slow leak of R-32 refrigerant will probably be fairly benign. Therefore, I am not saying that this might cause any lasting health risks. And, if you really LIKE huffing it, then enjoy.... -

Russia is toast no matter the outcome of the Ukraine invasion
Androcide is a classic form of genocide. It eliminates a threat and the next genration. ISIS killed the men, but kept Yazidi women alve. In Yugoslavia, it was men and boys that were killed off. In Rwanda, men were specifically targeted and women were to be raped. During the Armenian genocide, it was males that were systematically killed. Gengis Khan kicked it all off when he ordered the killing of all Tatars "taller than a linchpin". Putin as an ultranationalist and Slavic supremicist. He frequently quotesm Ilyin and Dugin. His ideology has been described as "Ruscism". Like other isms it starts off with a fantasy view of the past; Putin's heroes are Peter the Great and Nicholas I, and frequently refers to the Kievan Rus, as if that has any relevance in the 21st Century. Its imagined glories by a single race, the "Rus", with a healthy dose of self pity (the Slavs were Slaves). My point was obvious. What motivates Putin, and why he won't stop this war. History is a series of interconnected events, but ultimately, we are seeing the final death throes of the Russian Empire, as it seeks to eat itself from the inside, in pursuance of racial purity (another reason to attack Ukraine; more servile Slavs). Russia is destroying itself, because of a lack of national self-confidence, because ultimately, the Russian Federation is not a real country, consisting of united peoples. Putin sees his core support as being among the Slavs. Non-Slavic peoples are of no consequence to him; these people only exist to serve the slavs. At the same time, by not invoking mass mobilisation, he avoids the emergence of opposition to the war. He is aware that the Soviet retreat from Afghanistan was not because of Mujahadeen success on the battlefield, or American arms supplies. It was because of the Mothers' Committees; a ground swell of popular resentment against losses (also proving the myth of Soviet indefatigability). He won't stop because of mounting losses; the losses are inconsequential, and help his other problems (getting rid of non-slavs). He is confident that there is enough meat among what he sees as inferior races, to fend off any serious oppostion. However, he has built a kleptocratic state, where your success is measured by how much you can steal. And Putin is the biggest thief. The Russian War Industry has supercharged this theft. These Russian arms companies aren't like Western Arms companies, in that they have no shareholders, and they are run by essentially psychopaths. Life is good for these men. I'm confident that a break up of the Russian empire, and the emergence of a confident Muscovy Republic, which has a rich literary history, will allow it to take its place alongside other European countries, getting rid of this twisted self-identity as a "Eurasian" country. They might stop acting like Berkshure Hunts.
