I think I remember when Thai was not approved to fly into the US cuz doesn't meet standards, they played sour grapes and said "Well, we quit flying there before you can ban us".
Just curious, do the authorities do this: "Several popular landmarks, including top-tier waterfalls such as Hin Lad, Na Muang, and Wang Sao Thong, are now off-limits due to risky high water levels."?
Last year, my Filipina GF was questioned about her ticket validity. She was using an OnwardTravel booking. IO wanted to see the receipt for payment for the ticket, which of course would have shown $16 instead of the expected ~6000 THB. A bit of back-and-forth boyfriend bought ticket/blah blah blah, they let her through. Female IO.
Elonia AND Rama lama ding dong BOTH at DOGE? I see a possible 50% cut right there.
They could cut 98% of the staff at the US Embassy in BKK. Wouldn't affect us expats at all.
Waiting times when I call SSA in the States 30-60 minutes. Where the fruck is the bloated staff there??
