  1. This is not the first time that China has done this, and it will not be the last.
  2. Defending the indefensible. If a prime minister puts family before country, he/she should resign.
  3. Poor MAGA; upset that the real Trump has been revealed and it is not to their liking.
  4. Last spoke with a farang yesterday - a short 2-3 minute chat. I prefer to chat with some Thais, they seem more interesting than the constantly complaining expats I frequently encounter.
  5. God sent the Pope to save America, and the planet, from Trump, the GOP and MAGA.
  6. From my experience over the years - I just front up. If you arrive early-mid morning if a previous day's bank statement no problems; by if you arrive in the afternoon some IOs will ask for the current day's statement. And do not forget to deposit Baht 100 on the day you get the statement.
  7. You should do a bit more research. I have been there twice over the past decade - both times to take then Thai gf to some Ministry of Public health meeting/conference being held there.
  8. Do you really think that most (large) employers in Thailand care about workplace safety?
  9. A nice long thunder and lightening show last night around Hua Hin, and lots of rain in some. parts - my swimming pool's water level increased by about 4-5 cms.
  10. Agree with your post. Certainly a number of "tourist" establishments in Hua Hin are struggling and some have closed. Re gambling Thai wives, two of my close friends from my uni students days in Australia came to Thailand to work in the 1980s for a few years. Both couples were married in Thailand. One of the wives was a mall sales lady in Bangkok and the other a highly educated well paid professional. After both couples returned to Australia to live both marriages ended in divorce after a few years due to the wives' casino gambling addictions. Both friends told me that their wives would meet up with other Thai expats in Australia, and then go off gambling together.
  11. I had a similar problem (I think, from your description) in Australia. My local pool shop advised cleaning the plates by inserting them into a solution of hydrochloric acid, which I did about once a month, for about 10 minutes, for memory. Have your tried a Google search on this problem? It may provide more precise instructions than I can.
  12. He should have been kept in the hospital's ER for a few hours of observation.
  13. Hopefully other Thai cities will follow suit.
  14. Must be due to all the foreign tourists coming to Thailand.
  15. Maybe if the Thai citizens changed the government, then things might improve. But they tried that a few years ago, and the "system" killed the people's choice.
  16. "Rising Prices, Broken Systems Dim Thailand’s Tourist Charm" - maybe TAT could spend a few billion Baht fixing the "broken systems".
  17. With all the negative international media reports of Thailand's failures, many Chinese are staying away. Spend money on fixing the "problems" in Thailand, then the tourists will return.
  18. One day Thailand may be respected again, but I suspect that day will not be soon. One big corrupt incompetent joke. The Thai people want change; want a better life; but the system continues to suppress the people.
