Not true. Farang is a term for white western European types. Not the chinese

I had no idea Thailand had a kind of monopolies commission until the dtac and true merger was reported. It's like having a muzzle for a dog. Except it's made of meat. Look at King Power to know how corrupted this country is. It's shame.

Unless you can afford to lose 40 million you would be crazy to even consider it. The original elite visa came with land owning rights only to be withdrawn at short notice. Some lost a lot of money knowing they had to sell quickly.

I was thinking the same

Exactly. A foreigner would expose the corruption and over bloated workforce and demand change and come against quite the resistance to it. That's why they always put Thais in the role.

My goodness another over offended liberal. That's not what I implied and you know it. The strategy hasn't worked for decades. Isn't it racist to exclude foreigners. How would that go down in your home country

My street dogs get better food. Poor kids. .. The problem with corruption in countries such as Thailand is the really connected wouldn't even see a court room. If you are going to be corrupt as least have some connections. Like the army loan the recent army loan scandal.

I flew on Thai back in May to the UK. The service and food quality was terrible and you could see they had cut corners on service. Even those wonderful Thai smiles covered by masks. They have gained market share because airlines such as British airways haven't resumed services yet. In addition to the historic corruption and xenophobia in not recruiting a best in class foreigner to turn this airline around just as Emirates and many airlines around the world have done they will never be able to compete on the world stage. Their demise in inevitable.

They will all merge one day and be the King Power monopoly of Thailand. Thats just how it works here. It's who you know

I have shopped maskless in Big C many times and no one has said anything

"Outside Bangkok there is far less masking up." Here in rural Nakhon Sawan 99 percent are still masked up. The ones alone on a bike or in a car always give me a chuckle.

Then make tourists visas easy to apply for like they used to be. I remember getting a 6 months tourist visa at the Liverpool consulate. Simple form 75 pounds and in and out in 10 minutes. Went back 6 months later and got another.

Reading about this maniac the problem isn't gun ownership or the amount it's the fact this guy got away with it for too long and the Police did nothing. Eventually sacking him when he should have been in jail. Lets not forget he used mainly knives not guns. It was a gun he eventually killed himself with. Shame he didn't do it sooner

I'm a Brit and I agree

Took him two days of drinking to cause a public nuisance? Light weight. Takes my fellow countrymen the British only a few hours.

Why I chose to live here. To me it's number one. Best country, best people.

Does he know something we don't. After all the WEF stated by 2030 we will own nothing and be happy.

According to the police there is no prostitution in Pattaya. A bit like looking for a black cat in a dark room that doesn't exist. Only the tourists found the cat.

Not just Bangkok. The rice farmers here in Nakhon Sawan have had their crops decimated. What was once green fields of rice are now one huge lake. They need to stop the cloud seeding. Surely the reservoirs are now full. And before anyone thinks that's crazy they recently admitted to doing it when they sold the technology to Indonesia. 1664778926152.mp4

I don't mind religious observance and I don't drink anyway but it's the no alcohol before an election that makes me laugh.

Better the devil you know. His understudy who can't tell the time without a Rolex is far worse.

After two and half years I don't believe this has gone away. It's just on hold. But nice to hear some good news

As soon as any democracy doesn't go the militarys way they step in. The new constitution has seen an end to any form of it. It's Myanmar light.

Believe nothing in Thailand until officially denied
