Well done Indonesia on taking the country well and truly back to the Middle ages with the usual suspect, an out of date and backwards 7th century religious policy, not suited for the modern times. Also, prison for anybody who voices an opinion that contradicts the President or the introduction of archaic laws by his out of touch government!

Correct, and am always flying with them. Weirdly enough, I recently returned from UK via Doha on Qatar and nobody, except cabin crew, were bothered for wearing them.

I should imagine they do and that's why they call them ' alcoholics '

Brilliant, Let's just get some degree of normality going as the economy is way down and get the tourists returning. Step 2, as soon is you can see ' green shoots of a revival ' and arrivals picking up, let's start passport checks, raiding bars and switching the lights on and making everybody uncomfortable and feel like criminals, then cap it off with 2am closing in beach resorts. Those in power in this country really know their stuff! What could possibly go wrong.

Got it now, Thanks Anutin, Covid stays in between 6pm and 2am goes out at 3am! You really know your stuff!

It took me a millisecond.????

Thai wagon drivers often stop at a roadside Mom and Pop shop for a slug of white whisky in the early mornings and they are driving 16 wheeled, 15 tonne vehicles and above! What about all those drinking in airport lounges at all times of the day or on the planes, with the excuse being ' My holiday has begun ' or it's ' 5.30pm somewhere in the world ' There are others that prefer the mornings and early afternoon drinking as they don't like or feel afraid of being out at night time when they are getting older, you can't blame them, with some of the horror stories we hear and see in Thailand and what happens in the small hours. You can go in Wetherspoons pub any day of the week in the UK, and see plenty of tables full with older guys drinking beer at 9am. Some are retirees, some are bums, some are alcoholics. In Germany and Austria and the Netherlands etc, its also a common sight. To the OP, you shouldn't be so judgemental, the old guy might be lonely, bored in his room or condo or may just like morning drinking. Either way, he's not hurting you.

Thanks but it just doesn't appeal to us.

Looks a good option! Thank you

Never have and never will use an agent.

Four immigration super sleuths pictured looking pleased with themselves and a BMW pulled into the mix for a 19 day overstay! Well done lads, marvellous teamwork I wonder if these guys could cope faced with ' real crime ? ' like driving through a red light at the airport!

It was sarcasm my friend!

And where do you hail from? No doubt some criminals are here from your country too

Love this!....????

All of a sudden certain people are concerned about Thai kids when we know full well 99% of the time, they aren't interested if the kids are homeless, jobless, selling themselves to survive or using Yaba, they don't give a damn. But when there is a political point to be scored to advance their rotten corrupt causes, let's wheel a photo like this one out.

Well said Well said

Guys, A bit of a way off but my sister, my niece and my ex wife are coming to Thailand straight after Songkran 2023. We are going to Cambodia and Vietnam as well but to finish the trip for the last few days we want a beach resort area. These are three ladies, we do not want Pattaya in any form. Can you guys recommend any beach areas or alternatives nearby. I would like Koh Chang but its too long to get there and back from Bangkok at the end of a trip. Suggestions really are appreciated. They have been before many years ago but we are talking women now in late fifties, ( niece is only 21 ) who want a peaceful laid back carry on. My other half doesn't know as she has not been in that area of Thailand for many years either. Thanks in advance.

Smart are these Thais, eh?????

Yep Don't forget to charge her with overstay! I mean that really is serious.

Nearly everybody on here knew this would happen. They are just wind and pee from clueless government officials that live in a bubble. It's only the Chinese with their gambling dens and online scams that would be interested. Level headed business people who work for their money legally, certainly wouldn't be. They present government really are the Mount Everest in the stupidity stakes.

Where are you saying is relatively expensive? .Cambodia or Vietnam?

Why would a collector in a wheelchair require hand grenades and bullets?

???????????? Brilliant!

To give the pretense that the Police are doing their job!

Why would they? You seem to miss the point that both Thais, Cambodians and to an extent, plenty Vietnamese, it is a trade off. They are giving youth in exchange for food, drink, money and whatever else life gives to them from older guys. Do you think they aren't doing exactly the same with their own people? Plenty of Thais and Cambodians giving themselves away to higher status Thai and Cambodian males that are older, balding and fat, for financial gain. So, don't put yourself down!! ????????????
