Thailand Ranks 10th in Asia Power Index
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand seems to have gained solely in regards to diplomatic influence, and military partnerships. -
If you ever travel to China, check out the prices at Starbucks! Starbucks in China is really for the nouveau riche, meaning your average Joe can't afford it. (Coffee in general is ridiculously expensive in China.) Compared to that, Starbucks in Thailand is cheap. I guess, they take selfies, then tell folks at home: "Hey, I can afford going to Starbucks!" (Mainland Chinese hardly ever drink coffee, so that might explain it.)

Thailand Ranks 10th in Asia Power Index
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Let me guess, 1/10 economic capability, 5/10 military capability, 2/10 resilience, 1/10 future resources, 2/10 diplomatic influence, 5/10 defense networks, 2/10 military modernization, 1/10 cyber capability... -
A woman recently dropped her card right in front of me, and kept walking. Me and another guy had to call loudly to get her attention.

I don't use my card for over-the-counter payments in Thailand. But here in Oz/NZ they shove the card reader right under your nose to key in your PIN. Often they don't even ask you whether you want to pay cash.

I liked the old Immigration building at Sathorn in Bangkok.

Hundreds of macaque monkeys disappear from temple in Loei
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Monkey brains are a delicacy in China and SE Asia. I heard more Chinese tourists are coming... -
And how do they know the PIN?

The queues at Big C and Starbucks are always long when the Chinese come...

Hide the pens in the arrival hall!

Oh, the joy...

You're aware, I hope, that such a scenario, possibly, could lead to Armageddon...

I've been to many countries, but the time a Thai IO needs for one passport is one of the longest I experienced. Not sure, whether the computer system is slow, or whether the IOs just have a 'sabai sabai' attitude... Doesn't help with the notoriously long queues, of course, esp. as only half the counters are manned usually.

Damn, that's unfortunate... Now they will have to find 5 Thai heroes again in the next few days, returning cash and jewelry to tourists, in order to counter this negative news item...

Because Thailand is one of only a few countries in the world (another being China), where English language skills are neither required to get such a job, nor seen as a necessity.

They will claim it was a 'misunderstanding'...

Well, some bank employees can't be very smart (as for my observation). - As for this kind of fraud, do they really think they can get away with it? Not to mention using the stolen money to buy a condo... You would think they'd leave the country, at least.

Typically 'farang'... LOL
-
IMHO just a 'whitewashing' of illegal Thai workers' activities abroad. - Have you ever heard or read about 'informal workers' or 'little ghosts' when Thai media or government agencies talk about illegal workers in Thailand?
-
What are "informal workers"? Is that what they call in Thailand 'illegal workers'?

If 5 million come, this will mean only 200,000 with Covid...

"They're back!" reads like the poster for a horror movie.
