Silly me. I always thought it was a real submarine they've been talking about all these years.

Insurance inadequate, doesn't cover motor bike riding, or nullified by no helmet? Teachers are not supposed to be stupid.

Awareness of the small window for a pleasant holiday in Thailand is increasing all the time. May to October is the rainy season. February to April is the smog season, which appears to be growing year on year. That leaves November, December and hopefully a smog free January. Except Bangkok of course, which is currently beset by smog as well as floods now in mid-October.

7 - 11? This is about Street Food. ( Dictionary 'food :- any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth.')

Knut was King of The North Sea Empire in the early 11th century. England, Denmark and Norway including parts of Sweden

This story of Cnut (King Canute) resisting the incoming tide was first recorded by Henry of Huntingdon in the early twelfth century: This has become by far the best known story about Cnut, although in modern readings he is usually a wise man who knows from the start that he cannot control the waves

MB dealerships. In Thailand, people know what is going on, but do nothing

No, the profits on them will go up

So long as they keep it simple, I think this is a reasonable development. It needs to be free of payment and upload hassles.

Many people seem to be assuming this or have been told this. But nobody can have obtained a 30 day extension to a 60 day stamp yet. And this is Thailand. And the Thai Embassy clearly says you need a return ticket for 60 days or less to get a 60 day stamp. So will all Immigration offices be consistent and deal with this the same?

"the 60 days visa-exempt can evidently be extended at local immigration for 30 days" Not so, I believe. This is what the Thai Embassy in London is saying:- "Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme UK ordinary passport holders can travel to Thailand without visa for no longer than 60 days (maximum 2 times/year). All UK travel documents (Refugee/Emergency) must apply for the visa before traveling to Thailand. - Foreigners entering Thailand by any means under the Visa Exemption scheme are required at the port of entry to have proof of planned travel (confirmed air, train, bus, or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 60 days of the arrival date. Otherwise, a visa must be obtained before entering Thailand."

What are they thinking? Here is April last year for Chiang Mai

90 days takes us to mid-April, close to the end of this year's severe smog season, after which it's all forgotten. Until January 2025 of course. Then 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, ..........

At 10pm Monday evening in the UK, the pound has barely moved against the THB

Same tradition in my father's family, he always left one pea on the plate. Drove my mother crazy, her family ate everything. All 100% Devonshire (England) people. So these opposing 'cultures' are not confined to China and Thailand.
