A digital nomad is a poor sucker trying to conquer his life by posting nonsense (exceptions possible)

Do they have a backpack. I'm not even against them. SOME times, they document things in the country. Animals, the beautiful mountains, spicy food, corporate animals.....the sucker is who comes here with $100 and thinks they can live here.....that isn't a digital nomad....just an idiot as I stated before.

What is the difference between an idiot and a complete idiot?

This is a very important case to follow if you live in SE Asia and hopefully we will get continual updates without the stupid smarmyness comments we usually get.

 

If I have to tell you why its important, well, you probably are making smarmy comments

It's important but will get quickly swept under the rug. Too many Thai hands involved.....

A digital nomad is basically someone who travels the world, often grifting, while pretending to hold some sort of gainful employment. They sit in cafés, always purchasing the least expensive item on the menu, with a laptop open and free WiFi at the ready, occasionally typing something just so the barista doesn’t ask them to leave. Behind the scenes, they’re usually living off some form of passive income, cryptocurrency gains, or their parents’ credit card. They post photos on social media of themselves ‘working’ on the beach, even though sand and laptops famously don’t mix, and call it a career. In short, it’s like being unemployed, but with better scenery and a slightly smug looking Instagram feed, while desperately hoping other people admire them. However, it is strongly advised that you do not even consider this as a suitable vocation for yourself. Stick to what you know best. Mop till you drop!

You are a complete idiot. I own 2 companies and work from home. When I seen my boss driving his new 200k Ferrari to work and I'm bringing in 20k per month to help pay for it, I quit. Haven't worked for any one again. Freedom is everything and I don't even own a backpack, 55555. Call me a digital nomad or a business man..... I'm GOOD and I don't need a retirement pension to live here. Have a good day everyone. I will.

Very true, nothing to laugh about but "where" do they get it? Smuggled in, allowed, homemade? These are the real issues to address, not just talking about it. Thais LOVE to talk but as I mentioned, haven't seen any programs / tasks forces / classroom education that I know of to aggressively get at the issue. It's no different than encountering idiots on ya ba and trust me that drug embraces anyone....even inside gated communities where you think it's safe. They simply don't care. You'll hear the news story when SHTF but little more in the way of solving the issue.

I know that on a micro level, locals in certain areas do try but really starts at home with loving parents who care enough to educate and look after their young ones who will understand to stay far away from any of that crap......rich or poor.

Complete BS. Nice story though. 699 in 7 days....WOW...must have been extremely busy. Where did they house all of these criminals.

Obviously underage smoking and especially vaping with illegal substances is bad but Thailand really has nothing in place to really combat it other than these glamorous stories about over the top arrests.

Don't worry though, we'll hear the same story again in 2 months where the same amount or more were arrested. Same crap. Instead of dealing with real problems, they love these headlines about issues they have no real control over. Go into any 7-11 or cigar shop and see how many cigarettes are sold. The # of brands are endless. Not only that, it doesn't take a rocket science to learn how to do yourself. Thai people are ingenious when they want to be.

Crackdown is one of their favorite words to use for any topic they wish to talk about. Laughing gas is the only thing the RTP ingests in reality.

REPLY: You are exactly correct. They already feel like they can do anything they want. Sad because I have a lot of Chinese exporters that I've never had an issue with. I think that people there don't agree with what the country is doing. Only my thoughts though....who knows.

 

Makes you wonder what would happen if, you as a foreigner, say something against the CCP, and the CPP issues an arrest warrant for you, do the Chinese police find you, arrest you, then drag you back to their country on a military/private plane?

Thailand is a truly a supplicant to China. It's embarrassing, and dangerous. Thailand undermines their very own legitimacy by allowing China's police to roam Thailand's tourist areas. This type of thing only makes Thailand look weak and incapable (more so than they already do). Not to mention the optics of sovereignty. Who is really in change here 🤔 and will the Chinese police be allowed to carry weapons and use lethal force to detain and arrest non-Chinese? Who's laws will they be enforcing, Thai law and Chinese law? 

Why do they do this? Acquiesce or something else? Now you understand that they are looking for fighter jets and whatever. Can't operate them or take care but they DO understand that the region is hot and they can't sit idle anymore. A country (who knows who) will ask them to commit. Then what will they do? Stupid people in government......so it won't be good. Brace yourself because they will have to make a decision and I don't think the u.s. will come to help if they agree to anything with other countries.

Everyone that has a brain or actually does some research will know that the Thai government would eventually concede to this craziness. Thailand loves to play neutrality but it will come to bite them in the ass. IF they allow this, then they will allow anything and especially against foreigners....don't panic but keep you eyes and ears open. This isn't good for anyone. All of you foreigners with a pension sitting on your ass and don't care.....now is the time to at least look at what's going on in the world.

You do understand that it was all in the plan to begin with. Most people don't study or research but it was always set in stone for China to be the next #1 super power and that's why you are seeing very strong agression. The U.S. has already cemented their demise thanks to crime, political craziness and policies that the rest of the world won't accept. If Russia was killing children at the rate Israel was, the u.s. would condemn but knowing what they do and acting as if all is well...hmmm. The u.s. has helped so many countries over the years but they never really understood the notion of taking care of your own. If your own nation turns on you, Game Over. What does the future hold? Who knows but China is taking advantage non-the-less. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Anyone who laughs about this is delirious. Don't laugh, speak your mind.

Wow
It won't work
we all know

Are you sure it's not the other way around? Many creative persons here ... with a thick thumb.

5555.  Everyone has an opinion and that's really all I was attempting to incite.  Sometimes I get tired of reading all of the typical posts about carnage on the road, over stayers, foreigner bashing, health insurance.  Just something different to talk about for those who think about stuff like this.  At the end of the day I won't live long enough for it to even matter but it's still a topic I find intriguing and even those that are adamantly sure about what they feel is the truth one way or another, no one truly knows.  It's not like I know either but I've done enough research in regards to DNA to know we didn't come from monkey's as we've always been taught.  That's a fact.  As humans, we have this innate motivation (most of us anyways) to want to know about anything and everything.  It's what separates us from all other life here on earth.  Thanks for all the messages.  If anyone ever figures it out in the next 20 years, start another thread :-).  Cheers!

Just read and replay....let's open a discussion.  He's saying that no one on EARTH created us.  Is he right or wrong?  I want proof?  Who is my creator?

I just want people to think:  Who Created Us?
