How long would this nonsense have gone on in the USA? 10 seconds?

The BIB doesn't have the training, the equipment or the inclination to do anything about traffic law enforcement. Nothing will change; it will just get worse. There is no money to be made enforcing traffic laws, or they'd be doing it. They go strictly for low-hanging fruit with traffic stops. The way they count traffic accident victims, not including those numbers that get to the hospital and die there, would make Thailand THE worst place to drive in the world. No traffic law or speed enforcement.

It's unbelievable that these grifters are back in power. There's no getting rid of them! What a terrible excuse of a democracy Thailand is. Another incompetent PM takes control. Just a matter of time (hopefully very short) till anarchy forces the military to step in again. Remember what a complete idiot Yingluck was? Same same.

Indians...placeholders for quality tourists. 😎

I have a tourism Facebook page and I was screaming for people to buy cheap baht when it was 37 in April. I brought in enough for a couple of years. Now I don't have anywhere to invest the baht I have except for a measly 2%. That's okay. I still come out way ahead.

I think the most important aspect of regulation is not giving the BIB an opportunity to make easy money. They will selectively enforce any chance they get...to make money. It's one of the only things they do.

He tried to overthrow the US government. He should have been hung. I'm just so looking forward to him going down in flames in November and then...goodbye forever. The long sad story of this POS will end.

It's interesting how defensive the Maga morons are. It's the fake media, blah, blah blah. Come on, he's weird, weak, and an abomination. He tried to overthrow the government. How is he a candidate? Please continue with your gaslighting...trying to explain this death tailspin: Congress and the Senate. Trump keeps on giving.

No money to be made here by the BIB. Why do anything if there's no money to be made?

He never laughs. He has no sense of humor. He doesn't like dogs. He hasn't a friend. He's often confused. He wants to take over the US with some kind of a gestapo army. No more elections, just more Trump. I thought Newsom was the candidate. He was never considered. I live in Thailand. She took it and ran with it and she's the best chance for the western world. Lets go

Wow, that is ridiculous, no? Thanks Tod. Good thing I held off on those Tokyo tickets You have to ask yourself how important is it to only have the 400k in a bank vs. the 800k? All the ridiculous hoops and inconveniences just may not worth it. I don't have any choice at this point. They don't make the rules for you, sir. Your little 10 year proposal for faster service? Don't be making these faster approval suggestions. This is Thailand, my friend. They don't care. Last year was the first for the marriage visa. When I was done I felt like a member of the Maquis after the Gestapo got through with them. We had everything ready, I thought, last year. Oh no, I had the requirements from the year before. Oh, my Buddha. We're going to be ready for them this year and when I say we, I mean her. She did 97% of the talking last year. Two days of talking.

They didn't last year in Phuket

Last year I successfully applied and was granted a one-year marriage visa. I was required to return in a month for the official stamp. It says I must return on that date one month later. What if I'm out of the country and can't return on that specific date? Can I get a multi-entry permit during that 30-day waiting period? Thank you for any help

Let's make the 28 Billion Baht weed business that will double in 2025 illegal again? The BIB are praying to baby Buddha for this to happen.

They're beautiful and functional. The fact that they're unusable probably has to be in the mix. What a conundrum! The fact that they're unuseable would probably extend their functional lives. Does anybody ever think of that? Centuries. Just saying...
