Your compassion for human suffering is touching. MAGA? More like a never-Trumper. Not a fan of Biden, either, apparently. From the T-shirt, he looks like a Bernie fan, but hard to tell for sure. Still, "Eat the Rich" is pretty revealing. And though I disagree with the guy's politics, I still feel for him and the family that's probably grieving.

No idea what you mean by 'English household registration book'. There are Blue and Yellow house books, both with entries written in Thai. -

I once played golf with an American guest who made the mistake of wearing a white polo shirt in summer, his back was covered with flies. Portsea Golf Club is one of my favorite courses.

British man arrested for begging to buy drugs in Koh Pha Ngan
borderhopper2005 replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Section 13 of the Begging Control Act: illegally begging. The penalty is imprisonment of up to one month or a fine of up to 10,000 baht. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー A funny law. If they have B10000- in their pocket, they probably won't do begging in the street. In some countries, if the convicts can't pay their fine, they can alternatively work in the prison factory(until they can save up to the amount they owe). Is it the case in Thailand as well? Anyone knows about it, please make a post. -
I have my eye on Tucson AZ as plan B... A nice liberal city with good infrastructure and health care... a number of 55+ communities... The only drawback I see is the summers are brutal hot... But that can be a nice time to travel off season to Mexico (I've lived in Aijijicon Lake Chapala).... Check out https://www.mhvillage.com

Interesting that you should mention Straw Dogs. Straw Dogs (1971) is still Sam Peckinpah's all-time Masterpiece. Straw Dogs was filmed in some amazing locations. Also, the rape scene was shortened and lengthened several times, principally due to the fact that it was seen as important to ensure that the audience knew that Amy was in no-way enjoying it. If some might not know what it is like to NOT be welcomed in a place like the one you mention, the Straw Dogs scene you refer to is most likely this one (the pub scene): One of the greatest films of that generation. The film, at the time, did not get proper credit from critics of the NYT, and other rags. Now, in hindsight, even those critics must admit just how great Peckinpah's film truly was. It was his masterpiece.

The issue of a Yellow book is nothing to do with Immigration. An Amphoe will only issue a yellow book if you have long term residency, such as a one-year extension of temporary stay. Hotels and guest houses are not considered 'permanent' places of residence, and yellow books wouldn't be issued for such addresses. -
Nonsense, Iran has no desire to use nuclear weapons. They have them in defence as there are countries in the world that want their oil and have attacked their neighbours for theirs unjustly quite recently. Americans. like you conveniently forget the unjust war and slaughter of 100's of thousands of innocent people in Iraq.

Elderly rice farmer dies in field blaze in Udon Thani

If there was a low cost method provided to small rice growers to rid the ground of rice straw that inhibits ploughing for next crop they would most likely be willing to use it. -

You are not being honest there . The bottom left hand side photo is from 2020 and is of "J e w s from the "Neturei Karta" movement participate in a solidarity stand in Hebron with the Palestinian detainee Maher Al-Akhras, who has been on hunger strike in the Israeli occupation prisons for the 87th day. Neturei karta, or 'the city guards', is a group of j e w s living in Jerusalem who support a Palestinian state and do not recognize "Israel" https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/1912319/neturei-karta-participate-in-parade-supporting-palestinian-prisoner-and-suspected-terrorist-photos.html
