Returning from Abroad/ 90 day Online
I tried the first one online, it got rejected and I did not have time to go there until Friday same week. Of case that Friday they were closed. Had to wait until Monday, I calculated the days 97 was on Monday so I thought all was good. When I arrive they say I'm one day late, I tried everything, Showed online calulations from 97 days from my arrival date. but they count the day you arrive as day one even if its 5 minutes before midnight. had to pay 2,000 and get a big fat red stamp in the passport, I should not have gone there, I had to go to Singapore a few weeks later so again can not do Online... Very annoying especially since I have been living on the same Address to 10 years.

Russia: 'unstoppable' nuke-missile that can hit UK in 8 minutes
Correct, And I am also not a weapons expert, but I would guess we have access to slightly more advanced technology today than the English bowmen at Agincourt had in 1415 if I get the year correct.

Bangkok Bank has now banned taking screen captures in the app.
Stopped working for be on BBL with iOS also last week, I didn't use it often but some times I wanted a screen shot of my balance on the account, or take a screenshot of an error message when I try to send money to some one else. Like yesterday My Wife want to hospital with a friend and when I tried to transfer to her I got messages her account was not available, After restarting the BBL app is said have hit the daily limit of transactions to that account... But I believe the error was caused by this banking problems all banks seams to have around midnight. Can not pay with CC, Can not scan pay, etc for a while then suddenly it works again.

Thailand Shifts Tourism Strategy Toward Value Over Volume
Yes, When he came back to Thailand last time his account was blocked and he had to visit the office where he opened the account in Pattaya, and they told him he can not have an account and emptied the account and closed it. He had it for about a year. Used an agent to open it.

Thailand Shifts Tourism Strategy Toward Value Over Volume
That he could not open a Bank account unless he had a one year VISA. Im not even sure people with DTV Visa can open a account since they have to leave the country at least every 6 months.

Thailand Shifts Tourism Strategy Toward Value Over Volume
A friend of mine is working in Norway on an oil rig on a 2 Month on - 2 Month off schedule. He comes to Thailand every time when he has 2 months off. That he got his Thai bank account blocked so he had to visit the office he had opened it to "unblock" it they just gave him his money and closed the account. Not allowed to have. Things like that does not help Tourism also.

Debit card hijacked
I think your card information was stolen and used, and was not used from your phone or home network, You simply just got the notification that it was used to your phone. Use debit card online can be dangerous because when you use a debit card the money leaves your account directly and you might not get it back. If you use a Credit card the bank can freeze the payment and you will get the money back.

Will Thailand always remain a Third World Country?
AI give like 80% un-correct answers... you have to fact check them.

Will Thailand always remain a Third World Country?
No Its not... Thailand is not a third world country, but rather an upper-middle income economy. It's considered a developing country that's making progress towards becoming more developed. Thailand has a growing economy and is considered a middle power in global affairs. It's a founding member of ASEAN and has the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia. Thailand's income per capita has increased, and its poverty rate has decreased. It's considered a newly industrialized economy, with manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism as leading sectors. Thailand is making progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. However, some say that Thailand has pockets of poverty, and that the country's structural transformation has stalled since the mid-2010s.

if you order a dish in Thailand and it's not cooked how you like it, would you send it back?
I don't think we are living in the same Thailand been here 20 years and still can only think of one time I ordered a medium rare beef and it was well done. I did eat it anyway because I know when over cooked the only way to fix it is to throw it away and make a new. I did let the owner know tho, and he wanted to compensate me, but it was good so I declined. Or maybe we have different levels of tolerance. I might be perfectly fine with something you send back to the kitchen.

The waitress said I had 4 beers, when I only had 3...
I was in a restaurant with a similar story like yours, the customers made a big fuzz about having 3 beers when the bill said 4, he also stated he never drink more than 3 beers in an evening. In his case they let him off paying 3 beers, and I just by accident was there a few days later when he came back and the manager asked him to follow. Apparently they had it clear on the CCTV that he had ordered 4 beers that evening. He had to pay for 4 only drinking 3 that evening. I asked the manager sinca I know him a bit, and he say he is a regular customer, and just said we was so sorry he must have forgotten one because he usually only have 3. I do forget how many beers I drink sometimes, and if they take the bottles away like they do on some places I just kindly ask them to leave them so I can keep count... My wife taught me to do that. She left off in a bit of rage and almost in tears because she lost her face, being wrong or at least corrected by the boss. She was probably sure she was correct otherwise my guess is she would have corrected it directly as they usually do. If they later can confirm you had 4 she probably has to pay for one out of her own pocket. And that remind me of another story, we went to a Thai restaurant and we ordered a big plate of Khao pad poo. Fried rice with crab, and when severed we noticed it seamed wrong and called the guy serving us, and he said he was sorry since he thought Khao pad Moo, Fried rice with pork. So he took it back and came back a few minutes with the correct dish, He was very helpful and during he was helping us filling classes of beers and such, one of my Thai friends asked what happens with the wrong order, and the servant say he has to pay for it with own money, and he can eat it hungry or not no staff discount given. We gave him tip under the pay slip thingy enough to purchase a lot of Fried rice pork.
