Good to see the KNU being recognized as representing the Karen people who sided with the allies after old Churchill handed Burma over to those that sided with the nippers.

It was truely disgraceful that Britain handed all of the colony to the Burmese.  Probably because Mountbatten  was too busy polishing all his medals etc  on his dress uniform to understand what was going on.  During  WWII  the Burmee fought on the side o the japanese, whilst the ethnic minorities helped the British.

A deep water canal is the only way this will work (via a mountain range). Transshipping is time consuming and not cost effective at all. If you (Thailand) can't build a deep water canal you are on a loser. Time, cost et al etc means that the Malacca Straits/Singapore will be a lot cheaper and presumably much quicker.  Much more efficient and mush more cost effective.

Get digging is all I can say!

I agree  - the need for a canal is a no-brainer !

If only Thailand had not surrendered to the British after the 2nd world war, they would be allowed to have a canal

I think that British control ended quite a few decades ago !

I am Rh O negative and have donated blood all of my life.

Unfortunately, as the nurse told me when I last donated, 'this will be the last time for you - you will be 70 next month.'

To everyone, I do encourage you all to donate blood. It is a life saver and costs you nothing except a bit of time. ????

I am O negative too. I was thinking for donating blood as lonf as it is taken by a beautiful Thai female nurse.  Sadly I am too old for the beautiful Thai lady and to give blood too  ????

I was quoted THB 790,000.00 for a revised knee replacement surgery in a BKK private hospital.

Twice the price of a hospital in India

I do not believe that Thailand is a very competitive destination for medical tourism.

get the next plane to Indua then !

Will they have to have to get to the hospital for 6am for a queue number wait 3 hours and be told its the doctors day off come back tomorrow ????

No - that is for poor farangs like me.   If you want specific appoinment times, you must pay for it 1

That is the normal process, they exclude one day overstays -- but two days you would have had to pay a fine.  The reason why they do this I believe is because people very often make the mistake of their calculation not realizing both the arrival and departure days are part of the 30 days (i.e. they start counting at 1 as of tomorrow from date of arrival rather than the day of arrival).

How can the date of arrival and the day of arrival differ ?

I understand clearly the reasons. It is the vast majority of posters in this forum that don't understand and bash Thai immigration because their voices are insignificant outside this forum and they constantly  need validation from insignificant people in this forum.

I found it a pain and after 8 years at the house I built and with a yellow property book in my name having to report like someone on parole never mind the annual duplication of paper work with stupid photos of the family standing outside the house and sitting on the bed. Compare that to the UK.... chalk and cheese.

Perhaps the UK needs to adopt some of Thailand's procedures

They want to make their minds up on what type of tourist they to attract to Thailand 

One minute it's Families who will spend a lot of money on hotels travelling sight seeing restaurants and so on 

Or is it young people who want to spend their time in clubs bars  drinking until the early hours of morning and chasing the young girls ???????? 

I  think they want both !
