Emergency travel document question
Cancel your trip. Apply for a new passport. The emergency document is meant for getting you 'home', not for going on holiday. -

Petition for trump ban on U.K. visit gathers votes
"Despite the fact that she took and passed the test, Meghan is still not a U.K. citizen because she did not live in the country long enough to obtain citizenship. (The required period is three years.) She ultimately abandoned plans for citizenship when she and Harry moved their family to the U.S. in 2020. Still, this proves that, despite being an American citizen, Meghan would have been eligible to be a British citizen as well." https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a46818132/can-royal-family-members-have-dual-citizenship/ So, in case you don't have someone there to explain this to you, Meghan Markel is an American citizen. -

Thailand Cracks Down on Shady Massage Parlours
It is literally on the wall or window of every massage parlor. But they don't use the gibberish transliteration for the word "massage" into English. The signs say "นวด ไทย" (Nuat Thai) and in English it says "Thai Massage" -

Buy a condo
Not true--at least not for my Thai spouse and myself. We have bought numerous condos in Thailand. We have never transferred money to a private seller's bank account in advance of receiving the chanote at the Land Office. And, we never would. If a seller demanded that, we would walk away. True, also for Virginia in the USA, by the way--the process of which is much more complex--but again, no money ever went into a seller's bank account in advance of the 8 or 9 properties I bought in Virginia. Typically, we show up at the Land Office with a cashier's check in the seller's name, for the amount we still owe, and cash to pay our share of the closing costs, if any. When we see the chanote with our name on it, we hand over the cashier's check, which we have shown the seller at the start of the Land Office transfer. All of this should be spelled out in the sales contract which both parties have agreed to and signed. It's the same when we are the sellers. We've both signed the contract to buy and sell, buyer has put down a non-refundable down payment, and we both show up at the Land Office on the date arranged to do the transfer. We receive the final payment by cashier's check, (one or two may have been in cash), chanote is changed, transfer fees are paid, agent, if any, is paid, keys are handed over, etc. I mentioned 'private seller' above. In a number of cases, we bought new condos off-plan from established developers--Lumpini, Sansiri, Raimon Land, and SC Asset. Probably 9 or 10 condos in total. With those large, well-established developers, we gave them our final payments and they did all the paperwork for us. If I am remembering correctly, we didn't even have to go to the Land Office for several of the buys--perhaps because these developers are so huge and do so many transactions. -
