Thai people and reading books, here an oxymoron for you if i ever heard of one...

Do what every other country does when it short on labour, bring them from neighbouring countries, lord knows no shortage of those from Laos and Cambodia just dying to come work here..

Yeah right, like asking grand Prix formula 1 drivers to watch the speed limit of 40... Good luck...

The scrooge of unregulated and unprepeard usage of utilities by ever increacing number of tourists, it is not enough to want more and more tourists, one has to accommodate the needs of such waves of visitors and obviously those in Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Samui weren't...

It's the repeated offence that caused the court to punish her so harshly and the fact that knowingly, she committed the offence time and time again knowing it was wrong to do so..

Still young at 54, lots of elderly people die from falls mainly in slippery places, and to die from such unfortunate and avoidable circumstances it's a pity and a shame...

One of UK’s most wanted men arrested at Heathrow Airport after 27 years on the run coming back from Thailand: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/wanted-man-richard-burrows-heathrow-arrest-thailand-b2521916.html

In a place where, nepotism, neglect and corruption, no wonder why beach road look like a big mess where almost everyone and everybody just park and set up stands wily-nily to sell their wares...

F-35 and 6 rockets, that what it took for Israel to Israel to bombs and demolish the Iran consulate in Syria, killing high ranking Iranian commanders, as Churchill quoted: In war times there are 2 choices, shame or war, if you choose shame, war will happen anyway... https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-bombs-iran-embassy-syria-iranian-commanders-among-dead-2024-04-01/

This wishy-washy PM should take a leaf from Germany who just legalised the weed big time... https://www.news.com.au/technology/germany-gives-controversial-green-light-to-cannabis/news-story/435236b7636222394a00da7810a8a9eb

You do get the odd numb-nuts (to say the least) among the tens of millions of tourists coming to Thailand as these pages have been shown...

Could it be an April fools day announcement? and if not, it means that ' we need more tourists/passengers' equals more revenue/income...

Your best post so far...

And being no doubts rapped as we speak, not to mention the torture and the inhumane sufferings, the curtly and vicariousness of the Hamas terrorists AND THE Palestinian civilians men who took parts in the massacre, rape torture and kidnapping, that alone is enough to make sure that such deeds will never happen again by the need to eliminate as many of them as possible...

I had a bet the other day that the Thai government will do that...

What a BS of a PM, just the look of him makes me sick, he's got the look of ' I'll show you all what I think of you all, you bad people' ...

"Pattaya Is Already A World-Class Destination, Says Thai Real Estate Experts" I can't stop laughing long enough to reply to this header...

Thanks for the info, however living in Thailand for nearly 40 years thought me that asking for unorthodox and complicated arrangements are, most of the times better left alone, and starting a new is a simpler way to go about it as i have no qualms in coming in as a one month tourist, get the 3 months extension and than re-apply to the retirement permit to suit my travel plans...

I'll say, a stupid, knee jerk idea, not only 'raising' but it's rather annoying and out of place, I for one think that this is a clear discrimination against tourists, why not make Thai people wear masks as well? are they immuned from bringing or carrying the disease in? and why only in holiday spots and not in major cities? how odd will it look to see foreignness wearing masks and locals not? and whey don't they give it at the airports rather than at the holiday spots?...

Not only the bible, ample archaeological discoveries over the years pointed to the undisputed facts that Jews/Israelite have occupied the holy land now Israel and not a mention of Islam/Palestinians of today, An article today says that Putin planning to execute the 4 ISIS terrorists that killed all those Russians last week, (link will be supplied if requested) something that Israel have never even contemplated when dealing with terrorists with much blood on their hands, or may they should have? who knows, as the most of the world hate Jews and Israel anyway...

No point in re-hashing a narratives and opinions that was posted in these pages a thousands of times already, just to that in this war, there're no winners, only losers..

The way world's opinion of Israel at the moment, no matter what hey will hold in their hands, anything and everything will not look good, the world forgot the authorities Hamas inflected on hapless people back in 7.10, now they all feel sorry for rapists and murderers and the people who support them, It's fickle crazy world out there with very selective memory...

I'm the OP, As i have found out, the best way is to forgo the retirement permit extension and start all over again choosing the months where i want to be...

I totally feels his pains, I too, not long ago, scratched my Mazda 2, didn't get over it for days...

Possibly, but for all we know the PM just keeping up on his promises to certain people to repay them for helping him get elected in the first place and continue support, Who knows, one thing i have learned over the years, that in Thailand, is the land of everything is possible...
