Kennedy gives Swing voters a clear choice, Trump
The comment was based upon polling data references. The news source provided the polling data that was derived from a reputable US polling entity; FiveThirtyEight. Were you unable to otherwise dispute the data and had to criticize the independent data reference? -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
It is not in the Ministerial announcement published in the Royal Gazette. Someone from the Consular Department of the Ministry of the Interior may have mentioned it in an interview. -

Monkey Pox
There is no evidence to support your claim. What we do see is that some people with a political agenda are attempting to use the crisis to promote their own political views and to spread false information. The measures taken to date are to contain and to control spread within high risk groups by offering free vaccination to high risk individuals. There has been no suggestion of a mass vaccination campaign, nor will there be a need if the containment efforts work, There is no evidence to support your claim. The "formula" and technology to manufacture the vaccine already exists. As such, much of the cost to make the vaccine available has already been paid for. At risk groups have been offered the vaccine in an effort to contain the spread. No one else is being offered the vaccine, even if they request it. Although MPox is currently most associated with certain risk groups, we are all at risk if it spreads. Its characteristics can facilitate its spread. The argument can be made that authorities are downplaying the risk to minimize panic and to prevent a mass run on vaccines. As per the US CDC information. Close or Intimate Contact: Regardless of type, mpox virus can spread to anyone through close, personal contact, including: -Direct skin-to-skin contact with mpox rash or scabs from a person with mpox -Contact with saliva, upper respiratory secretions (snot, mucus), and bodily fluids or lesions around the anus, rectum, or vagina from a person with mpox -Pregnant people with mpox can pass the virus to the fetus during pregnancy or to the newborn during and after birth. Direct contact can happen during intimate contact, including: -Oral, anal, or vaginal sex, or touching the genitals (penis, testicles, labia, and vagina) or anus -Hugging, massage, and kissing -Prolonged face-to-face interactions (such as talking or breathing) -Touching Objects -Mpox virus can spread to anyone through contact with objects, fabrics, and surfaces that have not been disinfected after use by someone with mpox. This includes items like clothing, bedding, towels, fetish gear, or sex toys. Infected Animals Mpox can spread from animals to people in a few ways: -Through small wild animals in West and Central Africa, where mpox is endemic (found naturally). -Direct close contact with an infected animal, fluids or waste, or getting bitten or scratched. -During activities like hunting, trapping, or processing infected wild animals in areas where mpox is endemic. The common western take away is that only gays in the "western world" are at risk. This is a simplification. Close contact with the infected and a lack of hygiene are the factor. The vaccination guidelines are to offer the vaccine to contacts of the infected, travelers to risk zones and to the active MSM segment. The disease is spread in Africa because the locals insist on using "bush meat" even when told not to do so. The importation of the products by travelers occurs regularly and almost every time the screeners at arrival intercept. there are cries of racial profiling. Western travelers to Thailand shouldn't be smug either. Every year, Thai authorities intercept fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses from westerners that are infested with invasive species or contaminated with infectious agents like Listeria. -

Thaksin drops bombshell on fallout with Prawit
I will tell you exactly what will happen. The military will eventually have to step in again. The country ran much better under them than any elected gov't anyways. Democracy just doesn't seem to work too well in some countries. -

Danish Expat Risks Prison in Thailand Over Lost Car Incident
The man is subject to judicial penalty because of police conduct. The justice system has failed. This illustrates the risk that all foreigners face in Thailand. I am left with the impression that he did not pay off the police and they have retaliated. I hope I am wrong. -

Combination method for retirement extension
Thanks for the feedback. My concern isthat neither the bankbook not the statement specify the origin of those deposits. How do I substantiate the are in fact SSI deposits? Hi. I bank with Kasikorn where my monthly USA SS! checks (>65K baht) are directly deposited. Since US Embassy doesn't provide income affidavits any longer what can I present to Immigration to show that these monthly deposits qualify? Curious not only because of my ability to use Combo method but straight up income methond for extebstion. Thanks. -

Thaksin's advisor Phumtham tipped to be named defence minister
You use the language code that the military junta backers have used. You advocate for freedom and democracy, but you use the same legal tricks that the military supporters used. Just who made thee allegations of treason etc.? Based upon their activity, they are not. All that they have done is to adapt their political activities. Like any other political group with a long and established existence, they continue. And yet they managed to win almost 29% of the popular vote and to gain 141 seats, only 10 fewer than the MFP. That is a healthy showing. This is core strength, rock hard loyalists. One of my closest friends still votes PT despite constantly criticizing politicians and corruption. It defies all logic. His father voted Thaksin, as did his grandfather and its like he has some idiotic family tradition to uphold. Meanwhile his inlaws are from the south and I doubt share the same outlook. -

Monkey Pox
I'm not sure who you think is trying to create a world wide panic. Certainly, the WHO and other medical experts are not. For instance, in a recent press release the WHO made a point of saying that this is not the new Covid. World Health Organization stresses that mpox is not ‘the new Covid' Why mpox is 'concerning' but not the next Covid, according to experts It is thought that being vaccinated against smallpox does confer some immunity against mpox (though exactly how much is not fully established) but having had chickenpox does not since despite the similarity in name, chickenpox and mpox are not related. -
