Better yet: automatic gun turrets to shoot anything moving. Heck yeah! USA! 🇺🇲

FYP

In the south people already hated the Shins. I'm sure they love Baby Shin now.

Probably paying using PromptPay QR codes. I have a Thai bank account with a banking app on my phone, and I use it to pay for at least 80 percent of all my payments anywhere, from Big C to the local market. Only our 7-11s do not accept it, but they do accept True Money wallet payments.

Nice thread about a country most of us wouldn't visit now. As a fellow teacher in a "dangerous" area, Narathiwat Province in Thailand's restive deep south, it's good to read about a country I'd love to visit one day. Just not under current circumstances.

The political center is dead. The left is dead. All we have left is what we the people want: a full-blown far right-wing Christian nationalist dictatorship with Trump as the Fuehrer. Mark my words: the US Constitution will be shredded during the next four years and Project 2025 will become the de facto new constitution. Crazy right-wingers like Steven Anderson, Greg Locke and Joel Webbon will get high positions and rule us. They'll impose radical laws in line with Project 2025. This is exactly what WE the people of the USA want, you dumb lefties.

Unbelievable how many people fit into one converted pick-up.

@DrJack54 Just close this thread already dammit

So it was your own wedding?

Just FYI, coming from someone who lives in neighboring Narathiwat, the locals speak Malay instead of Thai. So there goes your theory.

Don't assume everyone in Thailand is on the booze. In Pattani, the overwhelming majority of people do not consume alcohol. Nor do they celebrate Loy Krathong.

Alhamdulilah

I love that Trump won. Here's hoping he will ruin the economy and take all your freedoms you take for granted away. No more gay or interracial marriage. No more no-fault divorce. No more contraception. No more abortion. No more p0rn0graphy. No more freedom of religion. No more separation of powers. Only MAGA SCOTUS justices. Only MAGA civil servants nationwide. All immigrants, muslims and other non-caucasians to get deported, including your Thai spouses. You yanks get the leader you deserve. Don't come crying when the door hits ya on the way out.

What are "loverboys"?? Dude, if ya mean guys who love them chicks, just call them like lovers or something.

What does it matter what the founder of Islam was like? It is about the people who are living now. Are they good people or not? And, yes, just like with non-muslims, most are good, kind-hearted people. I live in Changwat Narathiwat and have only had good experiences with the locals in all my 8 years of living here.
