  1. Name another county that does this foolish act? How do you know it's friendly anyways?
  2. Why would you need your physical credit card for? It's easily set up on your phone or you can remember the number, expiration date and 3/4 digit code on the back. Or just keep it somewhere. I think they completely didn't believe your story. A trip to Vietnam, if lying, should have been 31+ days out. Also since you spoke to quite a lot of people maybe someone remembered you wanting to come back right away. It's an interesting story but perhaps someone found you annoying or red flags went up somewhere. Even a full 24 hours + in poipet May have been a good choice as well. Every single person said stay a day/ night but going back in the morning was a bad move.
  3. That is actually very strange. The ones that are trying it are in their 20's perhaps? Do they know if their " cookies" are strong or not? Did they smoke cigarettes before joints? Usually people who never did it before don't jump into it.
  4. It sure sounds like an urban myth. Not one single person including you can explain it. Have you seen it?
  5. Thomas only made it to 39 ironically.
  6. I have read about Poipet as well as other readers have. What I have NEVER seen posted are the reasons this is? What is the benefit to refuse entry more than other border entries? What is their benefit to be difficult? I have just never seen any explanation of this on the forum ever. Why would she send him away but not register it? I don't get it. Thanks
  7. So where is this list? That was the question asked. Who EXACTLY would be checking this and where? As I mentioned in another thread people enter and then continue to countries that are not their own, just to add to confusion. Also people have spend maybe just a day or two in the country they are entering from. You can buy a throw away ticket to anywhere as well. This insurance requirement has to be clearly explained or no airline person or anyone in Thailand can enforce it. No one should have to wear a mask ( again ) on a plane to enter Thailand. I can see entire flights of people refusing to do this incredibly stupid unscientific thing.
  8. I'm sorry you spend so much time on this forum. Also that you need to respond so much.
  9. What were your other times seeing this? Many of us travel extensively in Thailand and never see what you claim. Do you follow all news threads? You probably do actually ????
  10. It really doesn't happen to this extent that much. Probably every SINGLE occurrence is a thread here. Who came here in the 90's, and early 2000's or before and took out travel insurance? It's really not that common. Insurance for motorbikes is even more rare and usually you aren't covered completely even though you think so. Things happen. Especially to younger people. Now we have go fund me. He's not an imbecile! That's over reacting.
  11. Don't settle too far back because if you look up the answers may be in the stars themselves.
  12. They def have started arriving at Christmas/ New Year week from Shanghai. Met many of them. The lockdown stories are insane.
  13. Their ratings would soar probably if they stopped their " lists" trying to control where people may go with absolutely no credibility to do so AND just finally do that epic documentary on the absolutely heinous to ridiculous amounts of scandals within their own employees and hosts and producers. It could easily be 8 parts by now. Embarrassing ???? to say the LEAST.
  14. It could be the " countdown events including shopping" that have turned this all around.
  15. I think for many stores that situation is not that common but happens. Without doubt many stores have just had it with daily shoplifting of often hundreds of dollars of merchandise and even if the police catch them there is no bail and no time served. I mean that situation happens so much and would rarely hit the news until the stores actually do close. My nephew is a cop in Boston and I know several other officers there. It's the truth.
  16. Is CNN actually blaming the rescue workers for their reporting mistake?
  17. Unfortunately many can't and basic things like supermarkets and of course electronic stores are becoming absent in many inner cities. Just before I left Boston to come here in November several drug stores like Walgreens were moving out of some neighborhoods as well. In New York City a theft under $1000 is a misdemeanor at $1000+ it's a felony.
  18. Ha ha. I thought you were being sarcastic at first and referring to Pittsburg PA. I googled Pittsburgh CA now.
  19. I think it's completely up to the exact setting it's used in. Of course whites with other blacks who are saying one of those words can be perfectly fine when both are using it and understanding each other. Same for "f" some people who think it's NEVER appropriate probably haven't hung out with either type of person but always overreact do to wokeness or lack of any REAL life experience. I hear blacks in the states use it very frequently with each other and other non blacks with them as well. Some seem to just deny this.
  20. I'm like duh I understood that 100%. But you didn't answer. Gays also use the second one commonly among themselves ( and others ) which is interesting. I don't hear Asians doing the same however.
