After attending my veteran father’s burial at Arlington, I carried a single expended brass casing from the X-gun salute—a small but meaningful keepsake to honor him. As I went through Bangkok airport security, I was stopped and informed that the brass casing had to be confiscated, classified as ammunition. In that moment, I faced an unexpected choice. Rather than surrendering it, I stepped back, found the airport post office, and mailed it to myself. A simple act of persistence ensured I could keep this tangible reminder of my father’s service and sacrifice.

Ain't it the truth. If you have seen any of the China propaganda - like how advanced they are - wow you can buy stuff by only using you hand, no CC or cash or cell phone needed. It's because you have signed your life and privacy away to big brother. I really like the one where when you are in a bathroom , public or hotel, and you find there is no toilet paper. It is fantastic how the know and deliver the TP to you stall. 🚽😕

It's DEFCON , BTW. But riding on the wrong side of the road against traffic, not looking past their front bumper and lack of ancticipation are huge problems.

Don't hold your breath.

Great question

Smooth as Thai silk 😕

A play on the Mile High Club - But called the Kilometer High Club🙃

Not only that but total weight i.e. including luggage should determine ticket price.

You kind a wonder why? But everywhere , check out Vietnam, the States, France, Italy, India , Sudan? It must be the climate or the tourists.

Never wore it and never will. I think Trump is a little overboard, but truly who new these countries were tariffing the States that much. My take is drop ALL tariff except for truly national defense purposes. BUT for the not so faint of heart this is a great buying opportunity. And if any of the back of the napkin economist who think the dollar is dead: 555. I can tell by their comments they haven't a clue about what actually makes a reserve currency a "reserve currency" . If they are brave enough to suggest a new reserve currency let them speak up and I will not make too much of a fool of them.

Correct Good Luck! with Chinese crooked businesses, and Chinese JUNK!

Thailand imposes tariffs on American cars that vary depending on the type of vehicle. For passenger cars, the tariff rate is 80%, while for pickup trucks, it's 60%. So what's with only 36%???

Airbnb is not legal in some places due to local regulations and concerns about housing shortages, neighborhood disruptions, and competition with hotels.

Let’s ask AI about this… Do government’s arbitrary policies prohibiting the purchases of alcohol during certain hours of the day actually solve any relevant real-world problems? The effectiveness of government policies that restrict alcohol purchases during certain hours can vary depending on the context and implementation. Here are some key points to consider: Reduction in Alcohol-Related Harm: Policies that limit alcohol availability cannot reduce alcohol-related harm, such as accidents, violence, and health issues. By restricting sales during high-risk times (e.g., late at night), governments increase incidents related to excessive drinking because when alcohol become available consumers make up for lost time. Public Health Benefits: Limiting alcohol sales does not contribute to public health but encourages binge drinking during reduced alcohol sales hours. This can lead to higher rates of alcohol-related diseases and conditions, such as liver disease, cardiovascular issues, and certain cancers3. Behavioral Impact: Restricting alcohol sales can influence drinking behavior. For example, people may be more likely to engage in binge drinking if they cannot purchase alcohol during certain hours. Economic Considerations: While these policies can have negative health outcomes, they may also impact businesses that rely on alcohol sales. Balancing public health benefits with economic impacts is a challenge for policymakers. Cultural and Social Factors: The effectiveness of these policies can also depend on cultural and social factors. In some societies, alcohol consumption is deeply ingrained, and restrictions may face resistance or lead to unintended consequences, such as increased illegal alcohol sales. Overall, while these policies can address specific issues related to alcohol consumption, their success depends on various factors, including enforcement, public support, and complementary measures such as education and treatment programs.
