A Thai.

You must love being gouged by bank exchange rates.

The same company that gave a tourist fake US currency a few years ago?

Various weed stores already have "Cannabis Patient Cards" printed up, stamped by the "Thai Traditional Medication" board and set for distribution to any customers. Banning will make zero difference and this stupid government knows that.

Found out it is a jackfruit

Definitely not a lime

Can anyone help me identify this tree I saw in Cha Am?

It’s a bogus article quickly disproved by reality.

The usual Thai double standard alive and thriving.

except Singapore loses millions every year hosting the race.

Silly comment. So tell me just how many retired NZers come here for longer than 30 days?

Let’s hope the aero engine servicing is better than the reporting

Most kiwis come here for less than 2 weeks on holiday. The $300 for longer than 30 days is chickenfeed.

Let me guess, retired accountant or school teacher.

A pox on all of them

I’m slightly incorrect, but so is the information posted. Kiwis automatically get a free 30 day tourist visa on arrival in Thailand. The fee listed on the embassy website is for longer visas (which fact it omits).

If only you were correct, except the article talked about total spending, “The festival, which has been recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage event by Unesco, is predicted to attract 10 million international visitors who will contribute 11.8 billion baht to the total spending”.

That information is incorrect.

It’s free for kiwis to come here. Automatic 30 day visa on arrival.

It’s an automatic 30 day visa on arrival for kiwis currently

Little wonder NZ is so reluctant to let Thais into the country. They’re well known for fake paperwork.

Sounds like gossip to me. Around CM moat pricing was under half what you say.

10 million tourists spending 11 billion is around 1100 baht per person. These figures are total fabrication.

where does that say how many died in ambulances, or days after being released from hospital?

I see you have equipped yourself with the world’s smallest violin. Zero road deaths is an impossibility. After working with NZ govt road safety department and police for over 12 years, I’m well aware of the impacts on families etc. But I choose to live my life as fully as I can without endangering others.
