'all Vietnamese' massage parlors exist in Thailand

Not what I've said. They are somewhat flexible re nationality.

Yes, quite impossible. I've never even met a Vietnamese national in Thailand. Pics or it never happened.

Up to you. Have even seen her Vietnam-issued passport. And the language. There are (predominantly) Vietnamese massage parlors somewhere in Thailand.

Russians friendly visit?--yes, after they swallowed Crimea they need more.

"Perekop" - the name of the visiting ship - also happens to be the name of small piece of land connecting Crimea to the Mainland.

Vietnam is a different game completely. Cambodia also borrows this model as well. Thailand doesn't use this model. In fact there are no massage girls in Thailand half as hot as the Vietnamese.

Not impossible to meet and date a Vietnamese massage girl in Thailand. Actually the better option.

Yes, sure. Have had some rewarding experiences on that front.

Did he transfer these meaningless shares in time or didn’t he? We must know. We can’t have a man who may, or may not, have transferred shares late. Even if it was minutes late. Parliament’s integrity is at stake here!

Transferring a media corp shares to own mother... Are there many things which could me more dubious in terms of politician's integrity?

Probably like Gorby, as per your parallel with the late SU.

The news reported the park rangers herded them there and admitted to doing so.

Sorry I didn't see that news. Hence my more cautious standpoint, although I'm generally in agreement with you. The elephants do appear to have perished as a result of some deliberately directed impact. It is wrong and sad.

Let's not forget this was no natural tragedy. The elephants did not go to the cliffs willingly and were smart enough to never go there on their own. They were deliberately herded by park rangers and forced to this dangerous point where they were scared and died. Why is no one talking about this?

 

Wouldn't be so sure about them having been herded by park rangers, but, yes, they should have been prompted by some external influence, indeed. A bunch of elephants are highly unlikely to plunge into ravine with clearly audible whitewater stream in it for no reason on their own accord (or whim?).

By the way, the place lived up to its name. Haew Narok = Hell of a Ravine, literally

Otherwise, you are just an undesirable who wants to spend time in Thailand, may want even to become more integrated into society, and are unwilling to make the pay offs required.

The end piece would be true if there were no tuition fee.

Otherwise, agree.

If past history indicates ongoing stay in los, which most likely involve tourist visas then good chance ed visa reject.

Exactly what I'm worried about. Although I think one is quite unlikely to develop an intention to study anything in Thailand with no past history of staying there. It was deemed perfectly OK to stay just for fun back then.

We are also buying up all their land and properties - No, wait - we're not allowed to!

 

Sorry, I have no idea. Wait! I remember now, we are all terrorists. That's it - we're terrorists. I knew it would come to me. ????

They are probably just tired of us.

It´s just the way you are thinking rthat makes problem for people that apply for visas. You just thing that you can take an ED visa as an option for can stay in Thailand, and not for study like it´s supposed to be for. That´s exactly why it´s getting harder for the once that actually apply for an ED visa with the reason to study.

That's exactly what I want - to study. And I need a certificate in Thai language. But with all the recent mess, I'm feeling very insecure to proceed.

Sounds great!

Can you disclose the amount you had to pay for that, please? Were you also required to show the house rental contract?

I haven't heard of a single person who is not in Thailand who want to be because they can't get in or cannot stay here. 

Now you know at least one of them.

Yep, If you visit next time you can make it on a NoN-O as married. ???? 

A little bit better situation as of now.

Can't one switch to ED at least for a year? (in case marriage is not an option)

I don't think they want us living in their country anymore. For what's it worth, I didn't see any Chinese or other Asians get pulled out of line. 

 

I have said that for the past year as it is becoming more obvious. 

It has been becoming more and more obvious for the last five years at least, I reckon.

Anway, this is a totalitarian regime, based on han ethnocentrism, trying to systematically eradicate other cultures and religions. And that has territorial ambitions. The Hongkongers, Taiwan, and the whole world, have the moral duty to resist to what definitely seems to be another nazi regime. It must be stopped before it becomes what Hitler was.

Have you ever been to China?
