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.

Wow, first the Russian woman on Phuket with her expensive earrings, and now the Finnish woman carrying around a large amount of €, and all in the past 24 hours! Seems that tourists in Thailand are very careless, and Thais very honest... Makes you almost forget recent news about police shakedowns.
-
Don't think this gender-neutral thing will help with that, but might actually backfire.
-
So they want to legalise e-cigarettes in order that foreigners in Thailand don't become victims of shakedowns by Thai police? Priceless!
