If only Stanley Kubrick was around to see the glorious new moon missions...He would be so proud....lol

Agreed. I expect the Ombudsman will agree too, but the victim of this callous behavior will in the meantime suffer real financial damage.

Housing Secretary - well,that's OK then!

there probably are, but you are probably the only one who goes to chiang mai for gogos.

Religious nuts’ you say. The people refusing to fight for the IDF on the basis of the same religion as the Israeli war mongers are using as justification for genocide and ethnic cleansing. There’s nothing nuts about not engaging in slaughter, genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The concern is for new expats that do not have a Thai bank account. The days of entering visa exempt and using TM87 to obtain a Non O is no longer possible. Enter Thailand with a Non immigrant visa and proceed from there. With a Non O + some other docs eg COR opening a bank account should be possible.

Israeli land grab and ethnic cleansing. Another notch on the Israeli war crimes record.

You do not even get close to understanding what you are saying yourself. First of all people travel a lot longer, secondly now prices are even higher on flights on top of that. Thirdly all the people they actually try to catch with this change, are not impacted by it, at all, period. As a cherry on top, even with the average tourist spending 12 days here only, or 95%, that means that the 5% in fact is more valuable than the entire 95%, use your brains perhaps. If you have 5% of tourists that stay 10-20 times as long while they spend the same, that 5% is way more sustainable for a country. This same 5% is usually what keeps most businesses even afloat here, else they bankrupt already. The bottom line is that you should actually provide to that 5% and not to the 95%, that is complete delusional, specially in a country that in fact has declining tourism, it is down already 16% since 2025. This decline will only get bigger and bigger because all Thailand has done for the past decade is ensuring nobody comes back as repeat visitor anymore after a first time, and they abused all countries by now. It is just as delusional as giving foreigners with foreign children 1 year visa's in even just 8K a month billingual schools while demanding a 400K deposit and countless paperwork, for the same 1 year visa, if having a Thai child. Thailand is cooked. Anyone that agrees with this new proposed policy is just as useless as a cockroach. It only damages a already damaged industry further. But of course the idiots will do it, only to revert it in a desperate move later on this year, AGAIN. It even states that they would suddenly do allow you to extend by 30 days again while that was what they just changed to max 1 time a year........... Meanwhile in Vietnam 45 on arrival or 90 days in 5 minutes online, repeated infinite, hassle free, since over a decade. Kilometers of beaches full with the traditional EU/US tourists, that all drink beers and have fun the way we knew it, while we think those times are gone due to Thailand their actions.

Any Stephen Graham movie or tv show is always worth a watch. The Good Boy - 8/10 A dark psychological thriller about Chris, a man who kidnaps and subjects a volatile 19-year-old named Tommy (Anson Boon) to a "deranged" rehabilitation process, alongside his weirdo wife, Kathryn.

Utter nonsense. How do those English language teachers that don't speak Thai do it. Same in Cambodia.

Learn the language but don't let them know you do. You'd be amazed how much they despise you after listening to what they say when they think you don't understand.

Getting something such as a Single entry SETV tourist visa in advance before travel is a pain in the butt to do. Who says 30 days is enough for a tourist? Thailand is a huge country with many different cities and regions. One can easily relax and just walk around Pattaya for 30 days and never eat at the same place twice. Beaches in Phuket are great but why induce a tourist to such short times? I just spent 88 days in Thailand but I got the Non Imm O retirement visa in advance because of the simplicity. Yes I could have gotten 60 days visa exempt on arrival, and then applied for a 30 day extension. But to me it was worth the 80 USD to get in advance. The online visa system was quick and efficient. One could easily spend one or two weeks in Bangkok alone just exploring the many Wat Thai temples that are all over the place. Getting an extension once in country requires one to stay at least one day some place. Maybe a person is ready to go to the next city. can't move without your passport back.

Who can forget Bush poodle Blair's claim that Saddam's "WMD " can be "deployed" in 45 minutes.!

Europe will do the smart thing. Escalate the transition to solar and wind. Trump's push to keep the oil profits for his billionaire buddies has backfired. Losing again.

Thailand's contribution will be " out of this world "!

Brother, take a long, hard look in the mirror. if you're staying in a hotel that allows 15 Indians in one room you are no better than a Benidorm Brit.

Don I think they were after a Guiness world record !

You're clutching at straws now Richard desperately searching through other threads to attack me. Anyway my wafflers comment got a few laughs, doesn't hurt to have a bit of fun now and then. Ive seen your offensive language etc. on different threads but I don't bring up your past. I've been courteous throughout our conversations but you continue to rude, antagonize me, always replying with hostility. This is a trend you have within your discussions with other members, always trying to belittle others. Take a break, Get of the keyboard Richard, you are spending too much time here, it's not healthy. I see you commenting continually throughout the day, your comments are the last before I sleep and the first after I wake.

Nope he is an enemy that your hero squandered decades of of work done by experts for a nonsense photo op…you know the guy your hero said they fell in love….remember?anyway enough time wasted time to shake a leg!!got the 3 mile walk to get to with my lovely wife.

We have Israel, all we need. The Euros can worry about their own oil, they better do something

Got it. The Iranians are trustworthy and peace loving. I forgot
