And this is a problem because??

Yes, especially for those who had relatives and friends die during the pandemic.

It's my assertion, but shared by many. https://www.yahoo.com/news/laughing-kremlin-insiders-trump-given-122927902.html https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/trump-gives-green-light-to-putin-to-invade-europe-after-ukraine-concessions-experts-warn/ar-AA1z0Dlf https://londonlovesbusiness.com/biden-warns-trump-intends-to-give-putin-the-green-light-for-more-war-to-expand-his-aggression/ I think Trump meets the definition of dictator well: a person who behaves in an autocratic way. "for some reason he's being a dictator—saying this is the way we're going to do it"

Exactly. Perhaps their contact is no longer available and 'regulatory changes' sounds better!

No, not lazy. Nothing there.

Really? Do you have a link?

Interesting announcement on Facebook that TikTok Services (one of the better agencies) are suspending their Retirement visa/new bank account services until further notice. "Due to regulatory changes, Tik Tok Services will be temporarily unable to assist in the opening of bank accounts and New retirement visas from Monday 17th February onwards we will keep you updated as and when things change. However, We are still providing other services such as Driving License applications/30 day visa extension/ 90 day report/ renewals standard retirement visa applications/renewals as per normal.... Apologies for the inconvenience but this is our of our hands. Thank you Tik"

It's always the way; just like after the awful Southport stabbings. Why can't people just wait before jumping in with their hate speech?

Knife crime, especially when combined with drug abuse, is rife the world over. No reason why Thailand and Thais should be any different from everyone else.

When returning to Thailand via Dubai, is it OK to have OTC medications that contain codeine (e.g. Nurofen Plus) in your hold luggage?

Sure. If it makes you happy. 👍

You're deluded if you don't think that Putin will try his luck at invading other ex-Soviet countries if he's allowed to get away with Ukraine. Ditto Xi with Taiwan. Giving into and appeasing dictators is shameful - but then Trump is close to one himself!

Very sad. Do bicyclists ever wear helmets here?

Yes, lots of details missing.

Why? I have some experience of this with my extended Lao family.

Google is your friend. Plus check out Hegseth's comments. There are hundreds of links but this one covers both: https://apnews.com/article/nato-ukraine-us-hegseth-trump-russia-a3ca747b102cae6737436596444a32d0

Have you read the 'minutes' of his phone conversation with Putin?

Or to openly lust after their daughter like Trump did/does!

These pesky "foreigners"! Thai kids are always so lovely to their ASEAN neighbours! 😒

This is going to be a long-lasting thread! From today's news, we can blame Trump for giving the green light to dictators like Putin to do what they like. If I lived in the Baltics or Taiwan I would be very worried.

Yes, drag acts have a great history in UK entertainment, from pantomime dames to Hinge & Bracket, Danny La Rue, Lily Savage and the best one of all (but Australian) Dame Edna Everage.

People like the Tate brothers and Tommy Robinson are such charmers. Jail is the best place for them.

Only some Chinese-Thais do this. The majority eat loads of beef, especially in the south where many Thais don't eat pork.

Yes, it's a nonsense to claim that an alcohol sales ban is "Thai culture"!

I remember the days when pubs in the UK had to close at 3pm every day and couldn't open again until 6pm until 11pm.
