Politics Thaksin Ends Friendship with Hun Sen Over Daughter's Scandal
Does any of this really matter? The fact remains the words she used and the content were inappropriate for the leader of a nation to be saying. Regardless of the call being set up or not. She f--ked up and now must face the populations scrutiny as well as the military. Thaksin and his daughter both are trying to focus on the call should not have been recorded and released rather than addressing the issue of the content of the call.. Laying blame on Hun Sen instead. -

Is President Trump Betraying MAGA By Legalizing Illegals?
I'm imagining Stephen Miller saying these three words, and then watching his head explode. Certified Agricultural Workers, with no rights, "employed" on the whim of Plantation Owners sounds like Slavery to me. -

Thai Bread
I know now you're going to call me nuts but ... long, long time ago (that means before COVID) I used to take Air Asia to Penang in the morning, go to Yin's Sourdough bakery for breakfast, had her pack up my freshly baked sourdough bread, went to whatever that mall is at Komtar, picked up the bag, and returned to airport for evening flight back to Bangkok. It was Yin who told me of her colleague, schoolmate at San Francisco who opened Holey bakery at Sukhumvit that I should try out. I did, but compared to Yin, which I haven't visited in 5+ years now, Holey wasn't on the same level, and it was considerably more expensive. Haven't been to either of them in ages now, but the Holey's building design with ... well, holes... is certainly interesting. Thank you for reminding me of Holey. Time to check it out again, as a lot can change in pandemic. I'm happy it's still around. -

Applying for Child first UK passport from Thailand, do they keep the original docs?
I've just got my renewed UK passport back after considerable stress with HMPO, by the time the fools finally agreed to issue my 5th passport renewal I had received a total of 27 emails. Out of those some were from VFS Global, subject ranging from confirmation of initial appointment through to notice to collect passport, confirmation I had collected passport, then the day after collected passport one to say my original birth certificate could be collected, then one saying I had collected it, then one saying all my document photocopies the next day could be collected. Told them 3 times driving into BKK was enough, just bin them. They did not originally want the birth certificate but asked for it after costing my a whopping £38 to send it by DHL as they wanted an original. BUT they did return it after passport collection. VFS Global were fine, they wanted photocopies of everything, even blank passport pages, but HMPO send everything back on consecutive days it seems meaning you got to travel in repeatedly which is a pain if you live far out. You only need photocopies of parent's passports as HMPO are fully aware of the legal requirement in Thailand for you to have your passport in your possession. But VFS Global will want to see the originals to compare with photocopies. Be aware you will need a translation of any Thai birth certificate to go with copies of original Thai, whether they accept photocopies of original Thai papers I don't know, certainly they only want photocopies of everything else but be aware - they (HMPO) are jobsworth pedants requiring every i to be dotted and every T to be crossed.
