Visa run from Bangkok: do and don't
Don't think you will have an issue. Just one person's opinion...I would do the bounce to Cambodia as per my previous post. If flying to Udon Thani for bounce at friendship bridge that would also be good option. -

Visa on Arrival refused - what is the best way to re-enter Thailand?
Well they aren't, until someone decides they are. That is the problem with a system where the 'rules' are not defined, or perhaps that is the whole point of the system. -

Visa run from Bangkok: do and don't
Good to know. I'd be happy doing the Patttaya visa run option but just wondering about possibility of DIY without an agent if doing consecutive 60-day visa exemptions. My preference would be to go up to Isaan and cross a friendship bridge on my own. In theory, there shouldn't be a problem since they are now "unlimited" but in practice who knows. Thanks again. I'll get in touch with Tod Daniels. -

ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant Over Alleged War Crimes
In much the same way as Americans of European extraction acquired land; a very long time ago, through might, and quasi-legal edicts issued by a judiciary foreign to the original land occupants. How long the "Arabs" have been there is open to conjecture. Palestinian Arab is a British colonial term invented to describe anyone living there irrespective of ethnicity or religion. Palestine was a term invented by the Romans to divide conquered peoples. One version is that the "Arabs" arrived in the 7th Century with the introduction of Islam; the history of the Anglo-Saxon people is dominated by events which are likened to be ethnic cleansing. On one level, to identify as "Anglo-Saxon" is to aknowledge that's one forebears might have been a rapey Viking time sticking heads on sticks. We know it was more complicated than that, nevertheless, the invasions by the Angles and Saxons left their genetic legacy on the population. Its therefore natural to assume that's what happens elsewhere. There is substantial evidence that so-called Arabization likely started to happen about 100 years after the arrival of the Islamic religion in the region. Until about 750-800, most areas retained their own language and customs. A more organised theocracy imposed Arabic as a language, and Arab officials to run things. There are parallels in the west; Holy Joes/God Botherers had some role in adoption of English throughout the British Isles, through distribution of bibles, and the "Good Word". Ironically, it was Calvinists trying to turn Roman Catholics in Co. Antrim that prevented Gaelic from dying out. But Arabization of the region might be more like Rome. Rome ruled Britain for 500 years, yet there seems to be no appreciable Roman genetic legacy left in the peoples. One version portrays the end of Roman Britain being a Dark Ages version of the fall of Saigon, as the Americans scrambled to get out on the last Huey. Another is there was never that many Roman colonists in Britain. Instead, Britons became Roman, adopting Roman custom (including growing grapes, which became in much demand in Rome), Latin, religion and even Emperors. The "Arabs" have always been in Palestine. To us ignorant Westerners, they all seem the same whether they are in Gaza, Beirut, Dharan, Aden or Manama. To people in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf, they are very different. You know, a lot of Brits can't tell the difference between Americans and Canadians. Americans struggle at times between Cockneys and Aussies. Mexicans can't really understand the Spanish. The Palestinians have been pagan, jewish, Christian, Muslim. They've been Greek, Roman, Arab, Palestinian Arabs, Palestinians. The area has a very complex history, but we should not be making simplistic, and probably irrelevant, conclusions about their past, based on our own historical bias, in assuming a similar history. -

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
The US was notified before the launch of the experimental IRBM which had either MRVs or MIRVs which it seems not armed. Putin sending a clear message.
