She is great and will spend it all on beneficial non controversial projects. Congrats to her getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Well then as many have suggested we can no longer call it Election Day but election season. Arizona will have to change and make their system better and more efficient. They have extra eyes on them now. Today is the fifth day of not knowing important outcomes. In my state that I live in the new governor has already been working with the exiting governor so I disagree with you that the new leaders have not started working yet. Maura Healy would for sure disagree as well.

Hi Scott. I think you need to give SOME credit where credit is due. Florida had the HUGE "dangling chad " embarrassment in I believe 2000. They got their act together and have quite a good system now. Actually an excellent system. Both states have vast open areas. You seemed to skip over the fact that Florida has 21.7 million people and Arizona has 7.2 million! That should not be left out of your post above. Maybe we can learn from Brasil? A huge amount of voters and results within hours. Anyone can google the typical voting " machine " in Brasil. It is very small and modern. Arizona is an embarrassment now.

But it's also a good thing for a country in the middle of nowhere with almost no people ( even 30 million yet?) that is very large and connected to nothing. New Zealand and AUS are unique this way. Japanese fruit won't harm Thailand. I don't understand even ONE post comparing AUS to Thailand in this thread. They are COMPLETELY different topics. Japan standard are also waaay higher than Thailands.

I bet 90% or more of the fruit was eaten by a Thai person associated with the airport! Especially those Japanese melons ????

soo many older , obese , already sick people died during Covid. Perhaps weeks or a year before their time. It's really amazing about the fat old ones. No one will ever know the truth about that stat. I just used real life examples. Covid was bad but why do you " think " about conspiracies? They can go BOTH ways you know.

More hype!! Why?

Then go to Sukumvit 13 and they will use a meter if you flag them down. Simple. Who in their right mind or even second trip to Thailand know that you don't ever talk to a waiting cab and worse yet the ones with the drivers hanging out with other drivers. We hear of your complaint EVERY month on this forum but it's quite easy ( even on soi 11 as you mention) to just flag one down. But on a very busy night just go to 13.

It's pretty small and gets quite crowded often with tons of Russians. Go a little further down to Nang Rum beach ( also military ) but easier going and cheaper! Yes both Thais and foreigners pay the same 20 baht entry. It's super quiet on weekdays and has good food. Also a foreigner can drive in on their own. At the beach you mentioned if you are foreigner and/ or with other foreigners you have to stop at a place , pay more than a Thai pays and take their transport to the beach.

Couldn't you just tell Immigration officer "there are no competent officials here" so let's just skip this silly TM30 thing??

Where did you see this 7 day waiting period?

What does " in the future " mean in Thailand? The article says that all IM offices will offer this " in the future ". So for now all the tourists who usually arrive in BKK now have to go back to BKK a week or so before their 45 days is up ( or their 60 day visa is almost up) to get this express service , so now a simple extension will be at least 2,400 baht. Then all new visitors and even many returning ones will find out that Bangkok Immigration is not even close to ANY tourist or central area in Bangkok and arrange transport there. It's easier to stay in Phuket ( I just walked 5 minutes from my hotel to Phuket Immigration right near the beach last April ) or Hua Hin or somewhere and get TM 30 copy from hotel and take your application and picture to local IM office hand in , wait and pick up passport 45 min to 60 min later. Oh yah they will never tell you Bangkok Immigration and others all close for an entire hour everyday for lunch. They still haven't figured out staggering lunch hours to prevent this and speed things up. I will def pass on this glorious opportunity.

Well tonight ( and in some places unfortunately later in the week) CNN and many others will find out that Climate change, abortion rights and the WOKE movement are not what's on the plate tonight at the majority of American households. What's on the plate are meat, vegetables and eggs that all cost an amazing amount more than they did less than a year ago. Also to get these things you need an extra $20-25 to fill up your gas tank. THAT is what most Americans know. I hope everyone voted today. I did.

Ended up with one winner in California @ $2.04 billion USD ( not baht ????).

Who in their right mind would vote for a 78 year old to run for a four year presidency? Oh, wait a minute.....

Sounds like a Monday night in Detroit or Chicago.

Umm in the USA? If that happened to an illegal overstayer he would have lawyers begging him for business , probably sue and win. Then he would get a statue somewhere.

Ok boomer. Maybe you should have picked better friends when younger. All my friends and many others as well know that many people smoke weed regularly and are full time very capable workers in various professional industries. Weed does not lead to serious permanent mental issues. Period!!

And it's NOT a province in Thailand.

Hi. FYI. As far as we all know Isaan is NOT a province of Thailand.

Let's see. You said in your big long farang accent. I'm going to Hat Yai, Malaysia and Isaan. He probably thought you were buying a large "HAT" in Malaysia. By the time you got to the word Isaan he was giggling.

I live in Massachusetts half the year. We have many dispensaries here. If hospitalizations went up 10% because of cannabis use it would be on every news station in Boston. You can buy weed well over 30% THC if you choose to as well. The 566% stat is sooo over the top and another big lie coming out of Thailand. I know some hospital staff in Bangkok and they said the same thing. Simply not even close to being true.

I believe there are no arrival cards anymore.

What a d bag.

Laws can and do stay the same everywhere as well. Have you ever heard of blue laws? What's your silly point or are you a child who keeps repeating herself.
