I understand but would you like Thailand to be like the UK and let immigrants from all over to come and get equal treatment? Foreigners, especially over 60 are a huge burden on the Thai health system, one reason they ask for insurance now. Going to the cheap hospitals does work out sometimes but you can't rely on them. Calling them racist when they can't help is very inappropriate, after all they do for farang who can't afford private.

Hospital only get a certain quota of medicines like this. They told him where to get it, but he never went.

I was charged 5,000 baht more than an Australian at Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Is this racist?

Remember this is a developing country and don't have money to buy medicines like in the West. I don't see anything wrong in giving to citizens first, if there is not enough. I am shocked when I see many farang going to hospitals wearing Chang wife-beaters and expecting equal treatment.

You are budgeting and pay this price? I went to Bangkok hospital last week and asked the price of the medicine and said 'no thanks' and bought it at the mall.

You wasted your time, so what, accept it. You are obviously not working so have all the time in the world. I suggest you look up the words 'integration' and 'assimilation', and note the differences. Time has a different meaning in this country. Btw, do your Thai relatives work?

Was this decision based on your race or your nationality? Jeez.

Do you pay tax here? Why do you think tourists(long term or short) should get the same treatment as citizens?

Guess you don't watch local TV stations.

SatangPro, Bitkub and Binance are all good for ramp off in Thailand I also use Revolut to offramp crypto.

I never verified my address, but I joined in 2017. I use Crypto.com card, but they don't send them to Thailand. I sent it to my Mum's address in Scotland. I get 3% cashback in CRP token.

I have a foreign friend with 70 rai of farmland which he has worked himself for many years, never been questioned.

What about retired farang 1%ers? I saw a bar full of them the other day!

saying what?

Is there anything actually wrong with racism and xenophobia? I ask because I am both racist and xenophobic, if I am honest about it, and I experience these things on a daily basis here in Thailand. Saturday, I went to a hospital here in Thailand and gave my Thai ID as ID. When summoned to go to the next step, the nurses said "Mister Neeranam", based purely on my skin colour, and 'khun' for all the brown people. Last month, I asked at the Royal Hua Hin golf club about membership, to be told foreigners can't join. When showed my Thai ID, they said, sorry. A couple of courses in town charged me more(because of my skin colour) until I showed my Thai ID. Few months ago, some Chinese Thai sitting next to me at the bank shouted out farang can't become Thai and my ID was fake; she worked in the MOI and knew. When I questioned her heritage and her grandfather's job position, she got very hateful, saying Chinese can but farang can't lol. Strange how accepted nationalities in Thai society are now the biggest xenophobes and racists. Last time I went to UK, I was sitting near a drunk black Londoner who wouldn't stop going on about the Muslim immigrants. I brush these things off as I am not the normal colour here, I am not ashamed of what I think of certain minorities in the UK. I hate the wokies, wokeism is the dangerous thing here. I was even called a racist for saying my best friend when a teenager was black, total nonsense. Don't be so bloody serious, bring back love thy neighbour and laugh about our differences, instead of looking to polarize us.

Fair enough but it is a religion.

Probably biased if you're in a 1% club. Out of interest, are you a tourist or do you work here? I don't want to ban Thai m/c clubs, they don't cause problems, unlike Oz/NZ. I'm friendly with a deputy commissioner of police who says there is an increasing problem with Western gangs, including bikie bikers.

No, they hear the UK is stupid enough to give them loads of money, why aren't they coming to Thailand? Kick them all out.

Better to ask 'how much for 10?', then you find out the cheapest they can go.

There is proof that we don't.

Fair enough, what are you relaxing, body, mind, or spirit?

You really think Karma is superstitious? lol I don't believe you. What about the 1 st law of Thermodynamics?

Yoga helps concentration. Yoga is a union with God.

Do you believe in Karma/Fate?
