Well, if I die here, I certainly won't care after the fact. Unless I get married I won't have any surviving relatives to take care of things, so I will have to make some arrangements ahead of time, such as a will on file here somewhere. It's OK if there are bits of skull in the mix. I do have friends here, maybe one of them might help.

Off the top of my head, meaning that I may have no idea what I'm talking about, there must be enough Thai people who need jobs who could be hired to replace the worst offenders. Would new ones also become corrupt? Anyone's guess.

maybe in depended on the airline and/or the route flown

It just occurred to me that maybe while sitting there you might call 191 and see who shows up. But bottom line, if you refuse to pay the bribe then what? What will they do? Haul you off for a beat down?

Somebody, such as the prime minister, would have to clean house from top to bottom in order to do this right. If a proper authority doesn't lead the charge it's unlikely to succeed. Or, as in the US, body cameras on at all times. Maybe even offer rewards within the ranks for ratting out their compadres. However many honest cops there are, and who knows, but they are probably not happy with their partners. Start with the towns with the worst problems. Just making suggestions based on my humble opinion.

Trump is deliberately sowing chaos, it's what he does, he sees it as making it easier for him to take over. Divide and conquer. Don't get me wrong, he's still a mόron, but he knows a few tricks as a con artist which he's good at. That doesn't take any brains. He's just tossing grenades and blowing things up, blindly serving all who have paid him.

At best the US has some mediocre sparkling wine. You don't get it. Trump is deliberately sowing chaos, it's what he does, he sees it as making it easier for him to take over. Divide and conquer.

How about just a stυpid question? BTW tests don't really mean anything, they're known to be biased toward white caucasian Americans. Cramming for tests doesn't generally show what you've learned or your abilities, only what you've memorized. There are many forms of intelligence, many types of problem solving skills on top of emotional intelligence, for which there are no tests. Your question sounds racist. Differences in education categorized by race do not mean that an ethnic group is smarter than another. A lot depends on economic advantage, same as in any other country. I consider Thai people generally more peaceful and in many ways more evolved than the average arrogant entitled westerner. Why don't you see if you can come up with a question or two that might serve to educate you in some useful way? My bet is that you could use it. Lastly, let's turn the question around. I consider the average Thai person to be more intelligent than you.

The best guess is simply supply chain issues. Things like changing delivery carriers, or maybe it's a one pickup truck delivery and the truck broke down. Could be a breakdown in machinery at the processing plant. If you want a real answer you should contact the dairy company. In the meanwhile powdered non fat milk is readily available if you can tolerate it.

Have you ever seen a fat cow in Thailand? They all look anorexic

I wouldn't rely on a forum like this for legal advice of any sort, let alone something as complicated as this. I would try to contact a military lawyer. Also a good Thai law firm. It sounds like some low level bureaucratic clerk doesn't know what they're talking about. I've had Thai immigration officers tell me things that weren't true, and I just asked for a supervisor and got things sorted. Regardless of where you go for answers, you must confirm everything using a lawyer who knows these things up and down.

Because the foreigners are "taking jobs away from Thai girls". Not kidding, I bet that's the thinking. Can't say I blame them. So what are you saying? Do you not read the news? Thailand is cracking down on lawbreaking foreigners, which they're entitled to do, it's their country, it's none of our business. Why, are you considering a career move, maybe a little surgery?

But aren't they good for tourism?

"public nuisance and suspected involvement in prostitution, a breach of local laws intended to curb such practices in public areas." So, a small "fine" and maybe a freebie and they're on their way.

No doubt it's hard to get a work permit for that profession.

Someone must have already said this, but you can't be taking jobs away from those hard working Thai girls

Yes, this is great, except no face to lose if we don't know whose faces they are. Come on journalists, let's do what you do best - expose and name names.

No it doesn't. You're adding 2 + 2 and getting 5. The current administration is full of Trump boot licking ƒυcktards. This is just a fluke. Ultimate hypocrisy, since the US itself is involved in massive deportation of immigrants, many of whom are lawfully seeking asylum from violent South American drug cartels, and the US recently arrested and detained a fully legal green card carrying man without a warrant or any legal justification, just on allegations of his political leanings.

I was just reading about some kid that was born with 2% of a brain, yet appeared to function. That might explain it.

If gofundme finds any account suspicious they will take it down, no worries about that.

"carnage and death happens all over Thailand" Darn! I feel so left out, as I've never actually seen and carnage / death in 12 years living here. Perhaps you could direct me to a ringside seat at the next demolition derby.

Try them both and see which one you like better

Maybe he's talking about the multiverse of madness

I think he glued a dead rat to his scalp. It's a new "thing"

Exactly. Vegetarians have this imaginary moral high ground that they preach from, but they have no standing to do so. Cattle and every other meat animal are by and large treated horribly, yes indeed and that sucks. So how do the "veggies" feel about meat from humanely treated animals who volunteer to be euthanized after long productive lives? Just kidding, but there are farms who do in fact purposefully treat the animals well, but that meat is expensive, and most regular working people can't afford it. The problem with people is, our bodies (and some minds) are still at cave man level of evolution, while society propels us light years ahead faster than we can reasonably adapt. So lets go all the way. How do they know that vegetables don't feel pain? I swear I hear screaming every time I mow the lawn.
