Minorities? pretty sure there's more Indians alone than all white people in the world combined.

I think they have now overtaken the Chinese.

Was this, TM6, not scrapped quite  while back?

I was referring to Cambodia and answering a question from another poster about rapid immigration after paying for online visa.

IMO it's a garbage case and deserves to be consigned to the garbage bin.

The government should prosecute Open Arms for aiding and abetting human trafficking.

I couldn't agree more, do-gooders out there, pretending they are on some noble cause, without caring about the burden it puts on resources, infrastructure, and the influx of diseases and crime to the unfortunate receiving country.

Boatloads of illegals who don't share common ground and culture invading ready-made, law-abiding, developed countries.

And so the thousand-year history of the reunification of the human species pursues its merry way. Modern technology makes the process quicker and therefore easier or worse (depending on which end of the process you're at).

 

Just about every country in the world faces the issues that arise. Lucky & wealthy ones - such as Australia , founded & prospering on non-stop immigration for over 200 years - cope mostly pretty well. Others less so.

It helps to have a massive body of water between them and neighboring countries, unlike the UK with the Channel, a hop, skip and a dinghy.

It was all a misunderstanding.

It makes one wonder why are so many of these robberies and assaults committed by ladyboys, what is the issue?

 

Is it a cultural thing? Are they just a particularly maladjusted group? I hesitate to pass judgment here but it does make one curious. 

I think it's twofold.

1. There are not enough clients interested in Ladyboys for the oversupply.

2. They are criminals and enjoy the violence, drama and tantrums, as well as the easy money from stealing.

Try doing some research on who controls the prisons.

 

Obviously, not all khatoeys are law breakers………but many are - and Pattaya does tend to attract the worst of all breeds.

I agree with the second paragraph, but Ladyboys certainly do not control prisons, there aren't enough of them.

And there are far worse criminal gangs in the prisons, than there are Ladyboys.

Lady boys earn their keep in prison doing the obvious, with a side line of washing and cleaning as well.

My wife was a dental receptionist for 20 years.   They dislike Indian customers because always arguing and asking for a discount.   And some smelling so bad or using so much scent it fumigated the waiting room.    If I get bad BO she says I smell like India man.  I've smelled my share of this in Thailand and here in the US.   

My family, who I took on a tour of Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, were astonished in the breakfast room one day by a Sikh family.

This occurred in Hanoi, but could have been anywhere.

This particular family were extremely loud, rearranging the breakfast room, scraping the tables across the floor, to sit together, and snappy, demanding and authoritative with the waiting staff.

The men kept clicking their fingers for staff to service their needs.

We were slightly shocked, as we had always had the opinion in the UK, that the Sikh people were very polite and friendly.

After they left, the receptionist told us that they were always like that when they stayed at this particular hotel, and treated the staff like servants.

This group didn't smell, but I understand the above post, as I used to get in plenty of Asian taxis in the UK where the BO was overwhelming.

I no longer ride with them. Back in the UK, I do a deal with family members to pick me up and drop me off, and I compensate them for their time and trouble, via petrol and gifts.

Is it rapid to get through immigration if paid in advance? 

Well, it's certainly a lot quicker as you are not in a queue waiting to obtain your visa.

The arrival and departure card etc. can now be done online in advance, and you can install an app to your phone to show immigration that you have complied with everything, which they will scan.

So, yes, a lot quicker.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that transgender and female prostitutes alike think that they can get away with targeting Indian, middle-Eastern and other non-white tourists for mistreatment (drugging, rip-offs, price gouging, non-performance, thefts, pickpocketing, verbal abuse, and physical assaults, etc.).

 

I'm not saying there are never any cultural differences which might explain underlying tensions, but I strongly suspect that racial and ethnic prejudices towards these groups voiced by Caucasian bar owners and Caucasian sex tourists that these racial minority groups are less desirable and oftentimes made to feel unwelcome have filtered down to the local population. and may go a long way towards explaining this recurring pattern.

 

Right got it.

It's not the ladyboys fault.

The Western bar owners and western tourists put her up to it, implying she wasn't at risk from the authorities, as all these other races were looked down upon by Westerners and that belief has filtered down into Thai society!

What a load of tosh you have written.

To me, Keir Starmer and his chosen group are simply out of their depth.

A guy from my hometown recently died from this in his 70s, he was a lifelong pigeon-fancier and breeder and also used to race them.

He died of a respiratory disease, and also pneumonia, I think it was pigeon-fanciers lung or something like that.

The best advantage of retirement visa over Marriage visa is.....you don't need to be married to get one!

Whatever,

Totally silly question, suitable only for mind-readers to answer, with no inclination as to what you are actually looking for.

Do you want quiet, beaches, rural, cheap living, city life?

Far too many options in this vast country with no inkling as to what is required by the OP.

It's the same type of question such as ' How much do I need to retire in Thailand ' whilst giving no clue as to eating, drinking, lifestyle, spending habits of the person asking the question.

Last time I was in the UK, which was recently, we didn't take out laptops or anything and that included all liquids.

This was at Manchester.

I have since read that they are having problems with the scanning equipment and these pain in the ass 100ml restrictions have been reintroduced.

AirAsia allows 0.5L bottles but only for medicine or shampoos and stuff.
I've carried 0.25L Listerine mouthwash back from Phnom Penh to Phuket with a transfer at DMK. No questions at all.

And there's a small lifehack for you
after baggage control there's water fountains at DMK so if you carry an empty bottle with you, as I did, you could fill it up for free and take on board. Isn't that nice.
It even has a digital counter of how many plastic bottles were saved.

What and you save 7 baht?

What has she got medal ribbons for, she's never done anything.

The guy needs to get a life, and there should be a law against filing frivolous lawsuits.
