Just got back from eight days in Phuket and that place is packed with tourists. The airport as well. Mostly Russians and Ukrainians who I have to say are very well behaved, well dressed ( well we all wear beach wear at the beach of course) and are spending a lot of baht. Many restaurants and hotels are hiring young people from Myanmar who often tell me they don't speak Thai when I order food or ask a question lol. Both Karon and Patong were super busy. Many other foreigners there as well. The one thing I noticed both in Bangkok and Phuket is that the Russians don't seem to be that interested in buying weed compared to others. Lots of nice families too.

I don't believe you see "a lot " of car crashes with your own eyes that involve alcohol. How many have you seen? How would you know if a crash you " saw" involved alcohol? I don't see stoned people as you mentioned but the " car crashes" you see I think are a bit exaggerated. I drive all over Thailand and the few fender benders I've seen could easily NOT involve alcohol.

Probably good to define " social injustices" don't you agree? Many definitions of this.

That's your comment on this ? GAL

What are your " dream " degrees that most of these students should be getting? I could just imagine.

She's a nothing burger but the lines that draw her district in NY speak for why she is popular there. The picture for this thread is extremely rare because her mouth is shut. She also thinks she can change Japan!

You don't fly very much these days.

Even CNN and others have this Wuhan lab story. Easy to find. Thanks Scott!!

Wow. Op sounds like the guy who is attached by the hip to his Thai wife/ girlfriend / Mia noi/ or prostitute. Maybe you can be a big boy and pay for something by yourself! I bet you get all the change. Even in a supermarket I separate from my partner and pay. What's the big deal? You or she/ he is just taking up space in line. Let me make a WILD assumption. You are the couple who books a cheap flight. You don't pay for seat selection. Then on the plane you start asking people to move because you want to sit next to the money collector/ wife???? Yup.

I don't get it. Very often my flight from BKK to Phuket is cheaper than the taxi from the airport to Karon or Patong!! This includes my flight next week. Many airlines have flights under 1000 or so baht.

Beats waiting out in HOT sun in Patong and going to out of the way BKK immigration by a long shot. You can get a TM 30 from staying just one night in Hua Hin. Except for the Swedes I think no one stays very long. You don't have to stay any one place for the entire 30 days and I'm sure you must know this!! But for sure I felt like a complete young baby ( in my 50's lol) waiting there. I mean this crowd is older than Biden.

It's gonna be EPIC!!! Quick, hide under your bed non participators. You only had four years to plan otherwise!

There is breaking news in England today by women named "Deidre" and " Julie" who have started a grass route effort supporting this! " Julie" is quoted as saying it can save someone tons of money.

And how is that working out for Thailand then?

That includes wife and two young children with no helmet!

Yes I'm on my second one but it lasts 5 years which is great. Are you talking about the card for travel to Canada and Mexico?

Definitely thinks he can read others minds.

" most likely believed" great last words on this op.

I thought there was a posting on here saying it was already approved till 12/31/23 but maybe an expert could comment.

Do you know you can get 45 days + 30 day extension with NO visa? You didn't mention your country but many can do that now.

It seems both threads on here say a very different story regarding his death. Every foreign news outlet I've seen ( there are many reporting this so just pick one ) say he was found unconscious in his dorm room. RIP.

This starts in May. Did you read the article? There are many others since especially Dec 2022. The Dutch police will not be chasing down or seeking out people smoking a joint near the red light district. The workers are against this as well.

No they won't. That's what is relevant. There is no special committee of residents policing this (and that would be ridiculous) so it's up to the Dutch police who I now know won't enforce this.

If that's irrelevant then who exactly will be helping these residents achieve what they want? How is it enforced then?
