  1. It's a question that gets asked by immigration officials all over the world if you appear to be coming and going an unusually large number of times. Nobody here can provide an answer for you, you have to figure out the best genuine explanation that applies in your particular case.
  2. Good for you. Killing and eating animals is disgusting.
  3. He is wise to stay neutral on the Russian invasion. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing into Russia which is never mentioned in the Western media. The current situation is far more complex than we are being told.
  4. I fear even a strong swimmer stands little chance in a river such as the Chao Phraya. The current is incredibly strong unless very near to the bank.
  5. This has been a shambles. Not much by way of assistance, apparently, from Chevron/Caltex.
  6. If Putin has identified the West as being wet, woke and hopeless China will also have come to the same conclusion. I fear an invasion of Taiwan by China will follow. That will really put the Thais on the spot diplomatically speaking.
  7. Well done. Message to knockers-please go away, or find something other than Thailand/Thai people to whine about.
  8. You must be very new to Thailand, and to Asia in general. In this part of the world many people have to make money to survive any way they can. What you are referring to in your verbose, self-righteous posting is petty corruption. If you can't tolerate it I suggest you should find somewhere else to live.
  9. A king cobra. Reportedly returned to the wild, but more likely ended up as somebody's dinner, sad to say.
  10. The sad thing is that most Thais are potentially very bright and are quick learners, but are intentionally held back by those who wish to keep them uninformed and ignorant.
  11. I just had my Pfizer booster 4 months after my second Astra Zenica injection. Feeling more tired than usual, but no serious side effects.
  12. Never mind Bangkok, I would like to see Thailand changed back to Siam. More inclusive, and sounds better.
  13. If your papers are in order, and you are polite and presentable, you will not have a problem at Chaeng Wattana. If, however, you don't meet these simple requirements you will, of course, experience difficulties.
  14. Don't confuse Thai movies with Thai soaps. The Thais have made some excellent movies.
  15. The 'jobs for the boys' DEA is a waste of time and money. It has achieved nothing other than to benefit those working for it.
  16. While the laws regarding coral in Thailand, and elsewhere, are not applied with any consistency, it is a fact that corals are alive and very precious, and need protection if they are to survive.
  17. Some inconsistences in the story, but nevertheless a dreadful experience. Thais tend to treat expat Thais worse than they treat foreign nationals.
  18. The assertion that this is under control is rubbish. It is, sadly, an ongoing disaster.
