According to this Facebook post from several months ago: "LEO Columbus hops are imported from USA, and have a strong bitterness and a slight citrus scent. "LEO Yellow Sub hops are imported from Europe, with the scent of tropical fruits, oranges, apricots, and blackberries predominating. "LEO Galaxy hops are imported from Australia and have the aroma of sour fruits, fresh and juicy"

It's not their tracks or their trains - those all belong to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). BTSC just has a concession from the BMA to operate the system (BTSC also built the original part of the network, but that's irrelevant at this point).

Maldives, then Singapore, and now Thailand - he's making the circuit. No, perhaps because the new president is from the same faction.

According to the stamps in my passport, I've been admitted for 90 days every single time I've entered Singapore. That would indeed make the most sense, which is why it will never happen.

That's about long enough for everyone to forget there was ever an accident and move onto something new...

I'm much too shocked to comment.

60-65 baht for a meter taxi each time I've done it.

"Earlier the parks opened between 5am and 9pm." Lumpini Park always opened at 4:30am, did that really change? That was certainly the opening time when I lived near the park for many years. (Yes, I was once young and ambitious enough to go there before sunrise...)

So something that is otherwise not legally forbidden can become a crime just because some obscure government medical department sends a letter to the police? Good to know how much respect the rule of law has.

Neither Prawit nor the Thai government has any authority to introduce new sports into the Olympics, so the headline is pretty misleading - "plans to request the introduction of Muay Thai" would be more accurate, if less bombastic.

In the 80s, visa exempt entries were only 15 days - they were increased to 30 days in 1992 or 93. So these days, 95+% of tourists never have to deal with immigration at all other than at the arrival and departure counters. The many folks on this forum who say "Thai tourism is dead because foreigners can't buy land or work or stay ten months a year" seem to be using a different definition of "tourist" than most of the world uses. The vast majority of tourists - to Thailand and other countries - come during their holidays from work or school, stay for a few days up to a few weeks, and then go home. Those people typically aren't affected at all by changes in immigration policy, and aren't even aware of those changes.

Sure, might as well wait until October. They've been promising a crackdown on smoke-belching vehicles regularly for almost 30 years now, so a few more months shouldn't matter ????

It's more like they saw advertising for Grab, put a million baht into a Grab wallet, and then the company wouldn't let them take out the money or use it for any goods or services. Big difference.

I just arrived in Vietnam two days ago, and there is no longer any insurance requirement. It's still listed on some websites which haven't been updated, but wasn't requested either at check-in or on arrival.

I flew out of DMK yesterday. A bit of a queue at Nok Air, since I arrived before check-in for my flight had started, but after that I walked right up to an empty immigration counter and right up to a security belt, with no waiting at all. This was around 10:15am. Arriving in Vietnam was totally different - I stood in line for over an hour to get through arrival immigration ☹️

You can be sure that anything he said in his hearing came from briefing books written for him by the State Department and represents official policy - a career professional would never "wing it" or inject his own opinions. It's also the case that whenever a Senator in a confirmation hearing tells an ambassadorial nominees that a particular issue is important to him personally - even if that issue is only tangentially connected to the country in question - the correct reply is always "Senator, I can assure you that that will be my top priority." Once the nominee has been confirmed, he or she is free to never think about or mention the issue again.

I took this photo at Big C Ratchadamri a month ago.

...and that there's an intersection called Huay Khwang (beginning with ห) on that thoroughfare, and there just happen to be thousands of Chinese living nearby.

There's no way that these people just got there on their own. And as long as Thailand keeps treating trafficking victims like criminals, their fever dream of getting a better ranking in the US TIP report is never going to come true.

Yes, I normally look to soil scientists for advice about social policy.

As long as they're more interested in their ranking than they are in actually eliminating trafficking a slavery, it will continue to be a lost cause.

This is the informational notice published by immigration back when the new policy went into effect.

Yes, because we certainly don't want the project completed within our lifetimes ????

Especially considering that he has a PhD in engineering...

It would be nice if they wouldn't insist on referring to these highways by official names that very few people know or use.
