It's getting more difficult. Those that have been here many years under the radar might manage it. More recent ones though. Sooner or later their passports will expire, even if they are using another identity. Renewal time may present a problem, but if they can renew, but never leave the country, they may continue to lay low. Nowadays the finger printing might be the downfall. Do the Thai authorities fingerprint travellers departing by land or sea? They have done by air for a few years now. Are these prints checked against any foreign databases? Or just to check who enters, leaves?

I had mine hacked when back in Europe. I only used it in two places to buy a coffee. both via handheld terminals. It was only when I was checking my bill that I saw someone had run up £400 on Facebook Ads. My bank took the hit, but new card is in the UK so I can't get it until I next fly back. I don't trust the post. I use the scan to pay option here for shopping with my Thai bank account as I don't have a Thai credit card. Other than that, cash. But I am very wary of using my actual UK debit cards anywhere. Unlike credit cards, no protection on debit cards.

He doesn't need them to buy him a plane to bribe him. That's what the $TRUMP coin is for.

I am pro vaccination, and I do recognise that their will always be some people that are allergic to, or will have adverse reactions to some vaccines. But I too would be nervous about giving so many vaccinations at one time to a child. The body has to fight, and build immunity to each shot. So many at one time seems a lot to ask of the immune system.

I am happy with 3BB. When I last went to their shop, it seems they were still offering their same packages. I have the 1Gb/500Mb. Around THB 750/ month if I recall correctly. I paid one year up front which gets 7% or 8% discount when I renewed late last year. I noticed that they now have newer WiFi 6 routers. Mine is WiFi 5.

The time of day that you send can make a big difference as well, due to the time difference..

Seems like a regular occurrence at that waterfall. I wonder how many have been killed or injured there over the years.

Will the Thais now up their prices?

The tariffs are here to stay. No way they can be removed if Trump expects to re-shore US manufacturing. Anything made in the US will be more expensive, and tariffs will be needed to make them competitive against foreign imports. If Trump's first term China tariff negotiations are anything to go by, these upcoming ones will take months, if not years, and Trump's tendency to offend the Chinese could still put things right back to square one at any time. Any future deals he might sign will not be worth the paper they will be written on. Trump's word is certainly not his bond.

No one is stopping him. The Courts are telling him he has to follow due process. This is just a way for Trump to try and remove the equality of the other branches of state and bring them under his control.

If Starmer shafts the British people, which I suspect he will do, by letting in US Chlorinated Chicken, hormone laced beef and GM plant foods, I hope the people do a Canadian style boycott and refuse to buy or eat it. Let US farmers improve their standards if they want to sell to other countries.

There are a couple of plots of land along there that charge THB100 for cars. Used to be THB20. Someone is raking it in.

Silly old fool. Takes a stranger back to his hotel room, then proceeds to take a shower while leaving all his valuables unattended in her presence. I would have bet money on what would happen. Led by the wrong head. Even at 65. Still. Lesson learned. I bet he won't do that again.

Nice pair of pins.

Removing shoes when entering a shop or café used to be much more prevalent. Nowadays many don't seem to mind. They even stopped it at Samui Immigration in the last year or two, but many places still have signs asking that customers remove shoes, especially if they have polished wooden floors. I also find many pharmacies still request shoe removal. I actually think it is a good thing, and we all do it at home. If the café owner gave her permission, then no problem, but it really isn't a big deal to kick off one's footwear. Perhaps she had a reason to not want to do it.

BritManToo. If you look anything like your avatar, perhaps you should give it a go too. 😀

I wonder if it has a 2 litre back up engine for emergencies.

They could just be trying to make it more difficult for the US gain any information they might be able to use against them.

If he ends up there himself, he could star in his own movie. The Turdman of Alcatraz. 😀

Or the Thai lost his rag and rammed him into the back of his own car.

They are doing the 7-11 trick now. I,e. Opening opposite or just along from each other. Just after the legalisation law, my daughter counted 18 on Chaweng Beach Road alone. I bet many more along there now. It’s crazy.

Transgenders should be banned from women's sport due to their unfair strength advantages. The only way to get around this to maybe satisfy the woke and remoove that physical advantage, would be to have extra gender competitions / races for trans women and trans men. Let trans women compete against only other trans women. Take away his hormone supplements for a month or two, then tell me it is still a woman.

It will probably just be parked up in some far corner of the airport and left to rot. Isn't there still a Bangkok Airways plane parked up there that was damaged a couple of years ago? Or have they repaired it yet?

We haven't tapped Greenland or North Korea yet.
