  1. Funny how kreng jai เกรงใจ doesn't seem to apply to relationships with foreigners sometimes. Quite the opposite often applies. I hate to say it, but I guess some folks don't see foreigners as deserving the same considerations as Thais.
  2. That's great! Thais have a natural talent for writing those instructions.
  3. Saving face for the Chinese. The way the Chinese plane fell from the sky, experts suspect terrorism. So, yeah blame it on the American plane. The plane (737-800) that crashed in China is not the same one that had the two crashes (737 Max) that required the plane to be taken off the market.
  4. But they can be blamed for creating and perpetuating a confusing and restrictive entry policy while they are experiencing an acute need for foreign currencies.
  5. Geez. Somebody probably put a new picture of their favorite pop star on Facebook. That drew complaints?!? and now these guys are going to interrogate the fan(s)? Let's pull the 16-year old pimple puss in for an inquest!
  6. Wow, you put the live link to the malicious server in your post.
  7. Despite the cool quote from Kilgore Trout, I must disagree. In the region that I live in, I can tell you of two women and one cop that were killed by crazed exs. And this is just the stuff that is big in the local news and I read about. In addition, a coworker's daughter was murdered by an ex in FLorida. The US is a big place and I am in a pretty limited region. I would think that this is far more common in big cities.
  8. I live in the states and this frequent. Usually it is the wife/girlfriend who ends up dead, but we had one here not too long ago in which a police officer who was called to deal with the violent ex was ambushed and killed.
  9. It happens often. Marriage not a necessary condition for it. Part of it is being spurned, part of it is not being able to cope with her being with someone else.
  10. From the looks of the windshield, I'd say the impact of the guy's body generated some Gs.
  11. "probelems in the documents that you submitted to the embassy." Embassies don't receive these documents.
  12. Are we sure tha the PCR postive and ATK postive numbers are exclusive of one another? I had read the plan was to verify the ATK results with PCR tests. So I am wondering if there is not at least a partial overlap between the ATK and PCR results. Similarly, if there is a delay, say today's ATK results are confirmed by tomorrow's PCR results - is it really possible to add the two number together and say that the real official finding is a reliable daily sum? Just wondering.
  13. Aren't attendance requirments quite strict for these visas IIRC it looked like you had to be there everyday of classes. There was little flexbility, meaning the only time you could travel was during school holidays. Maybe the let you do something if there is an intersession break between course enrollments. It looked quite serious and not something for students with tourist leanings.
