I find it easier to just avoid joining the local pastime of racial labelling.
I remember a period of time when all the trouble was from Australian hells angels. Every nationality gets their moment of infamy.

That's sick and disturbing to watch.
I'm not the biggest Bible fan, but I'm glad the Bible dude stepped in and started preaching in this particular instance.
We HAVE strayed from God indeed to witness this fat tub batter those women.
I thought it was a bit of light hearted fun. Mr. Big clearly wasn't trying to hurt the ladies, and they both had padded head protection while he had none.
Most of the action seemed to be them bouncing off his rather large tummy.

I wonder if these international schools even preclude students from using their phones in classrooms. Probably not. And of course no teachers will fight for them to stop using phones either. Why would they. They don’t care. It’s seriously so easy to tease out what is really going on in these schools. Nobody cares, and parents know this too they are just too caught up in their jobs and work life to admit it to themselves.
A phone is a useful tool, my kid is in CEP (Chinese and English Project), and uses it to help him with Chinese/English/Thai translation.

Presumably that's because your sex drive has gone down? maybe linked to testosterone going down
If my sex drive had gone down sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.

Never heard of this stuff actually happening to people myself in Thailand / Asia. I do remember they did this at a guesthouse I used to stay at a lot, they would need to close for several days before being able to open again. I could imagine we breathe bad things at places all the time, that have mid or long term impacts potentially, but is there seriously like the danger here to be in a room, where it just kills 2 people instantly, by staying there 1 or a couple of nights? Sounds like WW2 stories.
Happened in Chang Mai a while back ....... they knocked the hotel down in the end.

What about the Philippines?
Can't you get this there too? 😦
Been to the PI loads, it's a great place for a beach holiday.
But the internet isn't great, and the electricity tends to go off a lot.
If I didn't already have a house and family here, I might have considered it, or Vietnam or Cambodia.
I'm generally a happy person wherever i am, always plenty to do.
'Island of Thieves' by Glen Eric Hamilton is ready to read on my Kindle, not looked at today's movie/tv offerings on the torrent sites, chicken Madras in the freezer, I'll probably have that with spaghetti for lunch.
Too much choice of things to watch/read/eat/drink next to ever be bored.

But there's so much to do in a condo!
Fast internet and big TV allow you access to unlimited music/movies/tv series/books/social networks.
And if your condo has a gym and pool, you can even exercise without ever leaving.
Not forgetting food delivery services will bring your Indian/Mexican/Thai meals to you for very little extra cost.
Thailand is probably the best place in the world to live as a retired person on a pension.
How can anyone not be happy here?
Back to the OP,
Yep, I've not really travelled anywhere since COVID, been everywhere, seen everything, lost the will to repeat myself.
Exercise, went out cycling with a pal this morning, 23Km, stopped at a lake, then 2 different coffee shops on the way back, not so bad for an old guy.
I'm enjoying myself as a retiree more than I could ever imagined when I was living and working in the UK.

It's 10, 000 plus 10,000 extension only once giving a max 360 days over a 5 year period
Can't think of any extension that wasn't priced at 1,900bht.
Seems a standardised charge to me.
Not sure the government have thought it through though .........
If you don't have a long term VISA, you can't open a Thai bank account, so how would applicants get 500kbht in a Thai bank account?
You'd already need a long term VISA to get the DTV, and you'd need 500kbht in a Thai bank to apply, and you could probably only apply from your home country ......... everyone would be running in circles to try and fulfil the application conditions!

What a frivolous claim, what on Earth are they thinking?
Why would the airline remove them for being black? I'm quite sure they fly plenty of black passengers on any given day. Surely the explanation given by the airline makes a lot more sense.
Easy to judge, if a number of black men were allowed to remain seated then no crime. If all the black men were removed then criminal.
Op claims 8 black men were removed.
Looks like the Airline are about to get a well deserved spank!

One lawyer is suggesting criminal action against the school, the students and the parents of those students. They are also suggesting a report to the ministry of education.
If you've got the money to pay the legal fees, I'd go with this.
Destroy the school, take all their money.

They have no choice if they wish to stand a chance of being elected to power.
Don't think anyone in the UK cares that much about Jews/Palestine/Ukraine/Russia.
Can't imagine an election being won or lost on any woke nonsense.
Stop wasting time and money of foreigners and countries that contribute nothing to our civilisation.
How about a party that promises British citizens a better life, and to hell with everyone else?

Surely this is illegal, as a business operator you can't offload all your liability onto the staff.
What if there was an armed robbery? Make the staff pay?
It was the waitress fault as she didn't watch the payment complete.
Up in CM if you pay with QR, the waitress takes a photo of the payment screen as confirmation.
This event was negligence on the waitress part.

Did GBP 4000 from Wise to Nationwide last Saturday. Immediately out of my Wise, advised that it would take 6 hours. OK, there was a UK Bank Holiday on Monday. Nationwide told me to get a Forward Trace with Wise. Money was with Nationwide all the time, for 'Verification', and arrived on Tuesday. Nationwide gave me GBP 50 for wrong information.
Sent GBP 40 to Virgin Credit Card yesterday.......still not arrived, but debited from my Wise account immediately. What's going on here.
What's going on is Nationwide isn't a proper bank and it's been like that forever.

Looks good, might be an alternative to a retirement VISA/extension.
Stay 180 days, extend once (assuming 1,900bht), border hop, rinse and repeat.
Averaging 3,900bht/year.
Around the same cost as a retirement extension with multi re-entry, but 300kbht less in the bank required.

Yes, your picture looks good to me, too, but with a cheap aerial I can still not choose any channels. I do need a receiver to connect the aerial to. Am I right? Well, I have ordered the newest PSI receiver.
Now what ThaI tv channels can you get with that aerial, may I ask?
If your TV is under 10 years old you will be able to get all digital channels with a simple aerial.
Satellite tv is dead and gone.

It's an impossible dream for a retired foreign male I'm afraid.
You need to be employed in Thailand for 5 years.
Much easier if you were a foreign female, which only require them to be married to a local for 2 years.
