A five-day pause to the two-day deadline. He's such a Donald 🙄

Private. They are not at all shy about multiple pricing strategies. Their first response when asked about the price is "Do you have insurance?" There is a foreign price point, a price point for foreigners who ask for a discount, a price point for foreigners who have insurance, and probably similar tiers for Thai nationals. Healthcare is really the only issue where foreigner pricing upsets me.

Seems a bit fast to play the race card here. Government dual pricing is based on nationality. Double pricing by retail shops is based on suckerism, not racism. Most price gougers I've met are happy to overcharge all races equally 🙄

I've never let it bother me either - until I recently had some health care at a hospital where a few words in Thai brought the price down 25% on a rather large bill. Unlike a trip to the national park, health care is an essential service, and charges often don't show up until after the care is performed. I don't appreciate being taken advantage of at a vulnerable moment, and it's not a time most of us think to bargain for a discount. For most issues, I think the double pricing issue is a nonthing burger, but I think health care costs are one area that should be regulated 😶

so, you're saying gun ranges, are not a good idea... then tell us why. Sounds like you invested in a gun rental business...hope it all works out 😊

I understand that you disagree, and my post was exactly what I intended to say: gun rentals - and condom rentals - are truly awful ideas ☹️

How do I know it is not being done correctly or safely? Because it was the firing range's safety staff who shot their own customer 🙄

Thailand is almost as sensitive to insults to the tourism industry as it is to defamation of the royal family. This is one Karen that won't be back 🙄

This was at a gun range, the gun was used by a range employee....I don't understand your comment. It doesn't seem that the "employee" was a highly trained firearms expert. My comment is that this is an industry we'd all be better off without 🙄

Tourists are a menace on rented motorbikes. Gun rental is a truly awful idea ☹️

Manareet - renewed with their money in October 2025 for 15k, including all immigration fees. I did not get a re-entry permit.

I don't get it. How can BYD be accused of trying to avoid tariffs when they don't sell cars in the USA? According to GeminiAI Are BYD cars sold in the USA? As of March 2026, BYD passenger cars are not sold in the United States . While BYD has become the world’s top-selling electric vehicle (EV) maker globally, it has no official retail presence, certified dealerships, or federally approved passenger models for sale to American consumers. Why You Can't Buy a BYD Car in the U.S. The company has explicitly stated it has no current plans to enter the U.S. consumer market due to several significant barriers: High Tariffs: The U.S. government maintains a 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles, making them too expensive to sell competitively. Regulatory Requirements: No BYD passenger cars (such as the Seal or Atto 3) have been submitted for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) certification, which is required for any car to be street-legal in the U.S.. Political Constraints: Concerns regarding data privacy, connected car technology, and trade policy have led BYD executives to describe the U.S. market as "too restrictive" and "complicated". Ineligibility for Credits: Due to the origin of their battery components, BYD vehicles would not qualify for federal EV tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.

The Israelis have been playing the persecution card since the end of World War II. Valid then, not so much now. Thailand is quite welcoming to foreign business investment, but it seems like some groups of Israelis would like to colonize and set their own rules. I think many are tired of the Israelis playing the persecution card in Thailand when the real issue is that they are simply breaking Thai laws.

Have we forgotten the Trump-Epstein files so quickly? If so, the war in Iran has been a success. If not, the war to eliminate evil must go on 🙄

The new immigration office was packed with people, but only 2 people in que for 90 report, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.

Yes, I've short-timed your girlfriend too 😉

Sounds like I need to put on a pair of long pants and go check out their new office. Pattaya seems to have the 90 report down to clock work so hopefully Rayong isn't much more trouble. Thanks, fellas.

Moved to Rayong in recent months. I traveled abroad so I now need to the first 90-day report in person. What's the process like at Rayong Immigration walk -in? Thanks in advance.

Seems I was confused by the title. Turns out to be a micropenis thread 😇

"Each groom will transfer 1 million baht as dowry." What more needs to be said? 😍

Discussing crossed swords might be pushing the boundaries of community guidelines 🙃

Not that I'm a Trump fan, but the universe is pretty big. Remember Kahn?

To Trump's horror, when the dust settles in Iran, the Trump-Epstein files will emerge from the rubble unscathed 😁

You mean, until the next one, right?😄 This will be yet another war Donald Trump has ended. I'm sure he'll get the peace prize for this one 😍

USA & Israel. A shared hobby is the best way for a couple to bond 😆
