What exactly is a typical Brit?

Good ONE!!!

This was last December, as I mentioned and I understand the passport prices have increased, so yes completely understandable. Still worth it, as its only every 10 years!

I am not sure if that was meant to be sarcasm, but anyway if you look at the demographics of London its is no great surprise that he would win?

"Amidst these predictions, Cheewarattanaporn also cautioned about the potential impacts of the ongoing Middle East conflict on Thailand's tourism. He stated that if the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies, it could negatively impact the global economy, and consequently, Thailand's tourism sector. " So once again they only think of.....................$$$$$$$$

No, that included everything! That was for the 'jumbo' 50 page passport!

I used Thai Visa Express in December last year, they did an excellent job and can speak good English and can fill in the application form if you want. The girl I spoke to 'Ying' is very good, she knows exactly what are the requirements, like proof of address etc! https://thaivisa-express.com/thai-visa-express-pattaya/ From dropping it off to pickup...two weeks exactly. 12,000 all in!

"Laurence Fox took to the stage to make abusive remarks about Sadiq Khan. He called the London mayor a “dictator” before leading the crowd in chants of “get Khan out”. Well I would hardly call it abusive, to calling Sadiq Khan a dictator, he clearly is?

Yes, I agree, CNN is much much worse.

Much like CNN then???😂

You are correct, they are causing trouble in Bali, which is where many have gone!

In Pattaya/Jomtien in beer bars, 150 baht is now standard for lady drinks, used to be 120, but rents went up so did the price of drinks and lady drinks. In a go go bars, LK metro, the sky is the limit for lady drinks, but expect around 220-280.

Yes, in Thailand, even if you tell the truth it can be claimed as defamation! I don't think that she will be in Thailand long enough to go to court over it, even then how is she going to get money for a lawyer?

Whilst I believe that may have been sarcasm, good one, you are also telling the truth!

But change with who or what?

Yes, having the corrupt investigate the corrupt, won't work. The only teal way is to have a completely independent group, who are above any suspicion to do any investigation, trying to find a group like that in Thailand would be 'almost' impossible!

A big thumbs up for common sense, students go to school to learn!!

Exactly, surely the staff could figure out by talking to them, if they were Thai, or not!

Spot ON!!

Absolutely agree!! No new wars, the ME was relatively stable and Iran was almost broke, under Trump the world was a much safer place. Biden takes over and its been disasters all the way, from Afghanistan, to the border crisis, to the inflation, but all that pales into insignificance with the 2 new wars ongoing and a potential 3rd with Iran looming. Which could escalate, Biden dithering not knowing what to do....................!!!

Correct, but TAT and the Government only see.......$$$$$$$$$..

I worked in Makati city in Manila for 2 years, whilst most of the local food is not very good for my palate, the locals seem to enjoy it! There are many good restaurants there, including Thai restaurants. I think most dogs would eat the local food!

Or both??

There are some things I just do not want to see, and that is one of them! OMFG...🤢

Yes, it is supposed to have more CCTV cameras than any other city!
