Is America doomed
"Maybe over half voted for him..." Trump wishes. In 3 presidential elections, Trump failed all three times in reaching even 50% of the vote. A large number of those who voted for him are now being royally screwed by him. I don't know why any of them are surprised--the one truth he told in the election--somewhat hidden in his thousands of lies--was that he didn't care about them at all--he just wanted their vote. I'm almost--almost--feeling sorry for those poor Republican congressmen/women who have to go back to their districts and face the wrath of the voters. I think they've been told to cancel any public meetings as they have been so embarrassing to the Republican party and the president. The mid-term elections next year should be interesting--if Americans are still allowed to vote, that is. America's decline began with the Kennedy assassination, in my opinion. The 20th century may have been the American Century; the 21st will be the Asian Century. America has become so fractured, it's hard to see it being a United States again. But, perhaps Trump will be so bad that he will inadvertently be the catalyst to unite Americans--against him and his mostly illegal actions and policies. When the earthquake hit I posted a short note on Facebook that my spouse and I were ok. One of my American sisters responded that she had not even been aware of the earthquake--the news is so bad in America she has stopped watching any news altogether. Sad that's the state of things--and we're only just starting month 4 of the second term of the worst president in US history. -

Who's still thinking of buying a high rise condo after the earthquake?
Yeah... Its a tricky one... People naturally wont want to live in a rented damaged condo... but owners area also taking a huge hit on having to repair any internal cosmetic damage... ... They won't want to be giving up any money. A lot of people renting are going to have to walk away from their deposits - I wonder what the legal stance is on this. This is also something the government 'should' be handling under their 'state of emergency powers' - that landlord owners cannot hold back the deposit of those wishing to move out of damaged buildings. -

UK Passport renewal - email received 'send us your passport' 2 weeks after applying?
Wrong. Did my U.K. passport renewal a month ago, sent photocopies of every page but retained my U.K. passport and have it now together with my new passport received last Thursday. -

Phuket Forum Engages 600 Stakeholders on National Policy Map Draft
The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning recently organised a significant public forum in Phuket, aiming to gather extensive feedback on a draft national policy map. Attended by over 600 stakeholders from diverse sectors across southern Thailand, the event proved a pivotal moment for regional planning and development. Hosted at The Pago Design Hotel in Ratsada, the forum welcomed a wide array of participants, including government officials, local administrative representatives, NGO members, private sector leaders, experts, and the general public. The meeting was accessible both in-person and online, ensuring broad participation. Lieutenant Colonel Thiraphong Krutdilkanan, the DPT Deputy Director-General, spearheaded the opening ceremony. The forum laid out the policy framework designed to influence national and regional land use planning. Participant feedback will be crucial in refining the draft national policy map before its final implementation. Central to the discussions was the alignment of this national plan with existing governmental strategies outlined in the Town Planning Act 2019. The aim is to effectively guide urban and rural development, conserve natural resources, expand infrastructure, and support special area projects, all in sync with national strategies and evolving economic landscapes. A key component of the meeting was an official report that highlighted significant global trends impacting Thailand’s development. These include demographic shifts towards an aging population, economic power shifts due to international trade tensions, accelerated urbanisation, digital technology advances, and the pressing threat of climate change. Lieutenant Colonel Thiraphong emphasised the necessity for awareness and preparedness in these areas to shape future policies effectively. For the southern region, the plan envisions its transformation into a world-class tourism hub, leveraging its renowned marine attractions and wellness services to boost economic potential. Additionally, the region's role as a vital producer of economic crops like rubber and palm oil was highlighted, alongside its significance in border trade with Malaysia. These elements are integral to enhancing Thailand’s economic stature and resilience. As the policy map progresses, stakeholders' input will be instrumental in crafting a future that addresses both contemporary challenges and future opportunities, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-01
