Catering to obnoxious drunks with more money than brains is their business model. If you're offended, I'd suggest you stay away. They're perfectly capable of handling the situation (after they've carefully divined whether there's more money in kicking them out than letting them be obnoxious). Keep in mind that the lout may have dropped thousands and thousands of baht in the past. And some of them even own the places...

He was right back then, too.

He may just throw open the border to all and sundry. That's a sure way to destroy a country. Just ask the Europeans...

The saddest thing is that it took them 20 years to mete out some justice.

Here's a thought. Reduce the 72% tariffs being levied on American imports into Thailand. You're still only getting half the rate. I wouldn't be surprised (or disappointed) to see the 36% rate increase even more if there's no reciprocal movement.

I'm not riding a scooters. Sorry. This I leave to the idiots And yet, you're harping on her for not having insurance coverage... Which doesn't exist for an unlicensed scooter driver.

Can you point to a single travel insurance policy that covers scooter accidents for unlicensed riders?

Eezy peezy. If you enter the country illegally, you will never be allowed to gain permanent status, much less citizenship. You will not be allowed to work or drive or open a bank account, and you will not be allowed to sponge off the taxpayer. Ever. Maybe once, we'll let you to self deport and then come back legally (and then we'll welcome you), but if you try it twice, it's a lifetime ban. But that's mean and racist...

Oops. Never mind

That's the only place their policies pass muster.

Today's Ivy Leaguers would propose burning TESLAs for heat in the winter.

That's what happens when you let in millions of unvetted migrants from God knows where. They bring their diseases and their lifetime of poor hygiene with them. It's not their fault. The blame goes to the administration that told us for years that Joe didn't have the authority to stop it. Then Trump did stop it, within weeks. Thank God we dodged another 4 years of that misery. Edit: But it's going to take years, maybe decades to clean up that mess, with the Dems (and syndrome sufferers) fighting every step of the way.

There are several commercial PNR lookup sites out there that already do just that.

I don't share the disdain that a lot of AN posters have for Thai IT skills. We had some amazing guys working in our server room and facilities across Thailand and offshore. They kept things humming quite nicely.

Keep in mind I can't even access the form from here. It's blocked... So it's a work in progress. Otherwise, they'll see a huge drop in Chinse arrivals.

Good catch, but a good database system would require only moments. I suspect they'll build the front end first that only captures the data on the submitted forms. Over time, they'll build the back end that connects to all the data that's out there in the ether. But that's just a guess on my part.

That's the difference between a written TM6 and a computer based TM6. You can turn loose a few relational databases on a computer based entry and flag a hundred different variables in an hour. They couldn't possibly do that on the spot with a written card.

I suspect you're right. But if they're going to impose the inconvenience, they may as well get some actual utility (and security) out of it. If they require 72 hours before arrival, they could easily do a few law enforcement searches to make sure your passport isn't flagged anywhere and to make sure you actually have a departure booking. All done in the background...

Ok good, so just put a fake flight on the departure information If they really wanted it to be meaningful, they'd ask for your PNR code. With a database working in the background confirming them...

No. My point is that about 90% of the Trump coverage in the MSM is negative. It has been since 2015. Meanwhile, we had a drooling fool (with a poor memory) in the White House that the MSM was proposing for Mt Rushmore.

I don't disagree. My point is, where were all the lefty, MSM and Dem scalp hunters when stuff like this happened under Biden? It was like crickets (with Biden looking at his watch). They excused, minimized and covered up, all the way to his inability to form coherent sentences.

Did the knobs whose incompetence caused 13 service deaths under Biden get fired? Didn't think so.

Kudos to Trump for pointing out that there's a difference between allies and freeloaders. Maybe a few of the freeloaders will start carrying their weight and become true allies. If not, have we really lost anything that we actually had?

Well, Russia could attack Ukraine and Hamas could attack Israel, tens of millions of unvetted immigrants could invade the USA, additions to the national debt could double on an annual basis and... But that happens during feckless administrations.

Holey Moley. When did Rhode Island secede? Not that it would surprise me, having spent a few of my college years at URI. They were indoctrinating radical lefties even back in the '70s and '80s. But they had an Ocean Engineering program, one of the few in the country at the time.
