  1. Banks have always charged for deposits\withdrawals in branches not in the same or neighbouring provinces
  2. About a month ago I forgot my wallet and credit cards at home. Visited 3 different 7-11 and none of them accepted banking app\QR payment.
  3. Yes, some people are born with an extra X chromosome but it does not make them feminine\ladyboys https://www.webmd.com/men/klinefelter-syndrome https://healthlibrary.askapollo.com/triple-x-syndrome-causes-symptoms-treatment/
  4. Does it work the same if someone identifies as a police officer and wants to search you? How about if someone identifies as a pilot and wants to sit on the captain's seat on the airplane you boarded? Or as a doctor? All above examples are qualifications people can acquire and actually become. Being male of female are biological "symptoms" one is born with and no cosmetic surgery can change. There is no way to change the chromosomes. BTW - I identify myself as a prince, so please address me as "Your Royal Highness"
  5. There's a lot of misunderstanding of the issue of onward\return ticket. Many passengers as well as airline check in staff confuse the issue. The regulations regarding the need\no need is set by the country (in this case Thailand) and the airlines are supposed to verify all passengers have all needed documents for their travel. The basic idea of a return\onward ticket is that if a passenger is refused entry he\she has a ticket in hand so the airline won't be responsible for that passenger. The idea that the return ticket must be dated according to the length of stay one gets when stamped in is wrong as 1 might get an extension or travel to another country and return at a later date to catch the next flight. According to Thai rules of a person doesn't hold a valid visa to enter Thailand, that person must have an onward or return ticket. If the airline staff or IO upon arrival check that or not is a throw of the dice
  6. You're right. Those IO's are a waste of time and money. I suggested to the immigration police to put those entry stamps in the boots and let every person to just stamp their own passport
  7. This is very important information. It means... What does it actually mean??
  8. 1. Have they ever carried such large scale testing BEFORE June 9th? Ganja didn't magically appeared in Thailand on that date, had it? 2. It has already been established that weed is NOT a gateway to hard drugs. 3. I can't remember ever hearing or reading about a stoned person committing any violent crime or showing aggression...
  9. Not accurate. Government employees (including police officers) can buy firearms without tax (which is a big part of the weapon price). They can sell it in the free market (after both parties get the proper documents) after 5 years.
  10. How would you know? Have you seen the information she had on her screen? Maybe he was flagged for some reason?
  11. The husbands in your story left their families, friends, work and everything else to come here, didn't they? And many of not most came here for to the simpler and cheaper living. So what's the point of complaining, especially about things that they can't change. When one decides to move away from their homeland to another place one should check all facts about the new place, maybe make a pro\con list and decide. Obviously those who came here came by choice, didn't they?
  12. The laws regarding early closing times were around well before the 90's, but all venues paid the fees and no one cares. In 2001 Takain was elected and his then interior minister decided that the law must be followed to the letter, and that's when closing time between midnight and 1am was enforced. To be honest, I thought this minister won't live long with this decision, but nothing happened to him and the fact is that those closing times are still mostly enforced. Sale of alcohol was always forbidden on Buddhist holidays, nothing new there. As I usually only drink outside, I am not certain, but pretty sure the ban on alcohol sale during certain hours of the days was here long before the last coup. Your right - expats have no say who the pm, governments and MP's will be in any country they are staying as expats. But as expats they can simply move to any other place that suits them better
  13. I never had any problems explaining a delivery driver nor tradesmen where I live. On the other hand, many years ago in the US of A it took a local person who helped me ages and numerous phone calls to find an address where the number was displayed on the house. Also many years ago in Australia, Melbourne's CBD, a taxi driver I booked had to make 3 u-turns as he couldn't find the building number. The numbers before the intersection were too low and immediately after the intersection too high...
  14. Maybe the answer is here: Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls have picked them everyone Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing? Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago? Where have all the young girls gone? Gone for husbands everyone Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing? Where have all the husbands gone, long time ago? Where have all the husbands gone? Gone for soldiers everyone Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing? Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, everyone Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing? Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago? Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers, everyone Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn? And for those who don't like the puritan PM - you can always go to somewhere with a PM/president more to your likings ????
  15. I'm pretty sure ambulance drivers know the local system and ask for correct directions when they're called somewhere
