The Chinese civilisation has been around for something like 5000 years. What makes a country that has never been a civilisation think they can bring that to an end.

Doesn't that rely on the response of US consumers? Continuing to buy products that may no longer be available, and if available, continuing to buy at a higher price. The "bs" is continually referring to now obsolete historical data. Only the delusional can think that Asian manufacturing can be brought into the US and goods continue to be sold at pre trade war prices. The policy makes everyone a loser.

Historically It has been a tricky arrangement and i am not sure if all versions of android work in the same way. I have had a couple of android boxes and recently when using a usb it has to have been formatted in the box, once that has been done I haven't been able to use it again in the computer. Early doors I lost a couple of usb sticks after trying to use them again in the computer, became corrupted and irrecoverable. I used to load apk files but gave up on that, think it was android 11 that blocked access to the system files. Another point worth looking at, you may need to get a better file manager, I have found the ones that come with a box a bit limited. Also I think you can see the box file structure by connecting through the network to a computer, seem to remember doing it once but a while back. Good luck

Good deflection, highlights the disrespect for essential services.

A distorted view, the regulation will still be there. Creating an exemption does not "do away" with anything. Only airports with the advanced scanners will be exempt.

When I joined the RAF what you already had was irrelevant, we were all marched down to sick quarters weekly until we had received all available jabs. How would any military or essential services function if all anti vaxxers that had gone sick in an outbreak. Time people grew up and accepted some social responsibility.

It is not that long ago draft beer was never "cold". Served from wooden firkins behind the bar, kept cool with a wet towel and cleared with finings. Of course some nationalities have never seen real ale.

Morayshire, in NE Scotland.

The point was consistant with the OP, the gullible are easily led.

What type?, there are several available so maybe an alternative. I have been on apixaban for some years and not experienced any problems.

In the case of the state pension and government pension, there would be no tax "collected" from the state pension, all tax liability would be collected from the government pension. I cannot see the TRD trying to understand how tax is collected in various countries and would want to see a P60 type document for each income stream. The calculation on any credit against Thai tax liability for the UK state pension could be as clear as mud.

The lecture was a bit irrelevant to the point, the gullible are easily led.

There was a girl in my class at school in the mid 50s had calipers on both legs, expected to be for life. She got it before the vaccine became available. In a town of about 4000 everyone knew her and we were all marched along to the doctors as soon as the vaccine appeared, no debate whatsoever.

Where there is contention, always a buck to be made. AI Overview Chang has launched an unpasteurized beer in a screw-top aluminum bottle, aiming to tap into the growing premium beer market in Thailand. This new product is available at 7-Eleven stores nationwide. Chang's unpasteurized beer is designed to appeal to consumers seeking a premium taste and experience, with its innovative packaging and focus on freshness.

Absolute garbage. Death can be the best outcome with some diseases but not always available. With most disease the risk of lifelong disability is far greater than any adverse effect from the vaccine. Anyone who saw polio in the early 50s would be well aware. People should be concerned for the easily led being sucked into this distorted way of thinking.

The first sentence is a gross distortion. Other counrtries are not doing away with the ruling on liquids, they are looking to install expensive machinary that when working properly will remove the need for human inspection. The EU changed their rules when first machines installed, the machines didn't perform as expected so they changed the rules back again. It seldom pays to lead the way with new technology. Thailand is only going to do what other countries are doing. Many on here are more than happy when Thailand turns a bit of a blind eye in their favour, until something goes wrong

A couple of guys I knew back home did an Asian cruise a few years ago. Boat parked at LC and they had 5 nights in the BK Shangri-La. You shouldn't take what you read in the article as gospel, "shores of Pattaya" can mean anything. No mention of Pattaya in the TAT release. https://www.tatnews.org/2025/04/tat-and-stardream-cruises-launch-star-voyager-to-anchor-thailand-as-cruise-hub/

A Barclaycard can be either a Mastercard or a Visa card. The first four digits also provide a more specific identification of the credit card network. For example, Visa® cards always start with 4, Mastercard® starts with 2 or 5, and American Express® starts with 34 or 37. Discover® cards start with 6, while Diner's Club International® cards begin with 30, 36, 38, or 39. https://www.privacy.com/blog/how-to-tell-credit-card-type-by-first-4-digits

The fundamental problem in Pattaya is that over the years they have only ever picked at the problem. Over 15 years ago there was exactly the same problem in Mueang Chonburi with people waist deep in water running like a river. The road down from the bypass to the centre is not unlike Pattaya Klang, heading down towards the sea. It is a bit wider and all along there they planted 2 metre square drains. There wasn't too much disruption, did it in the width of a lane. On the Klang it would mean one way or severe disruption with lights. Not been any flooding in the city since, and they continued the work on the outskirts, most recent I've seen was alongside the road from Chonburi to to Bang Saen. Problem can be resolved if the will to do so, different authorities, different approach.

So why haven't other cruise ships been deterred? Cruise ships are a far better prospect than bar fodder, the more the merrier.

Yes, we had breaks when humidity got excessive. I was RAF but when out there did 10 Days aboard HMS Fearless off the coast od Oman with the helicopter sqdn. Absolute purgatory on the flight deck, had to be fully clothed at all times, working on a great lump of steel with next to no shade. Going back to Sharjah was like a summer hoiliday.

Yes, the local ambients could be a bit uncomfortable but the real problem came working inside an aircraft fuselage that had been sat on the apron all day. Could wring your shorts out.

Why would a bye-law be required nationally for a localised problem. It would be up to other areas with high number of foreigners to implement if necessary. Much of Thailand is rural and the problem not seen in the same way. Every day my sister in law goes out on her bike and feeds the soi dogs.

A couple of decades ago there was a certain amount of culling in various forms taking place. then some do-gooders stuck their noses in, focusing on one particular aspect. The Thai government were embarrassed internationally and it all came to an end, they have had to tread very carefully ever since. I doubt any of these so called celebrities have ever walked along a soi. Thailand’s Soi Dog Foundation has some of the biggest stars in Britain speaking out against the dog-meat trade in a video that starts with a warning about its “distressing” content. Dame Judi Dench, Ricky Gervais and two of the stars of the international-hit series “Downton Abbey” – Laura Carmichael and Phyllis Logan – give voice to the “I Never Knew” campaign in the moving (and, yes, distressing) three-minute video that drives home what you probably didn’t want to know. But of course you should know. https://www.nationthailand.com/life/30246525
