I don't understand the outrage! It just confirms he has the right qualities and credentials to work for the Trump administration! 😀 -

Route: Uttaradit to Nong Khai
A lot of the journey is 4 lanes. Not familiar with the last leg (2097), although only a few more kms/mins to got to hwy #2, then north. 2097 is probably more scenic. State below, 210 & 2 is a bit boring, unless overnight in UT, which has nice vendors around Nong Prajak Park area, and a huge night market near train station, every night. Chiang Khan is a nice riverside town, especially weekends, as having a large walking street market through town. Need to book in advance, as a favorite with Thais. Then you could follow along the river to NK from there. That's a pleasant drive. It really is a nice drive cutting through Loei. Loei over to Udon Thani (#210) is a bit unspectacular. Same with UT to NK. Hence the turn north at Loei to Chiang Khan. -

Why do so many Thai prostitutes marry their customers?
Another tale about the lower socio economic demographic. The men's profile is one of limited education, minimal to modest financial status at best and rooted in the social class that has no power, nor influence, and usually they have a history of failed social relationships, typically estranged from family and having few if any close reliable friends. This makes them more likely to accept a prostitute as a spouse. Some of the men may be nice people, even hospitable and kind sometimes, but usually the men and their ladies share an exclusion from society and gravitate to each other for survival. It makes for nice entertainment, but the reality is that they are social pariahs and must remain in their "untouchable" social circle, forever forbidden from entering broader society. Thailand has social levels and one only gains social advancement through wealth and position over generations. Marrying a prostitute or a fat middle aged (or older) low status farang forever locks such people in the lower strata. Their children start at a crippling disadvantage. Usually, they are unaware of this, but it doesn't really matter because they are happy for however long the relationship lasts, which usually is until the Thai spouse finds a way to siphon the wealth from the farang. -

Man Goes on Rampage at Phuket Police Station, Injures Officer, and Escapes to Phang Nga
Apparently there were many people present. So maybe not a good time to use a gun. Looks like none of the civilians eas injured and one officer, only slightly. The perpetrator was apprehended, so all in all looks like a case well handled. -

TM30 - real estate agent reports online, but you still need to go and report it yourself!!!
My wife has our house address registered in the system, we do the TM-30 online, and print off a copy. Korat immigration still wants us to get a new TM-30 receipt from their office for each 'retirement' extension. Wife gets it done while I'm having documents checked. -

Taking Someone Home: Ever Reach Down and Get an Unexpected Surprise?
Check out the video of the young Ukrainian guy interviewing this pair on his Instagram. He also has another ladyboy as his full-time girlfriend who he features often and claims is a model. Generally I've found that "model" is a synonym in Thailand for being unemployed. -
