    Also, we don't know how well those websites will work. Being already stressed out when travelling long-distance, I would not want to do this 'last minute' at the airport. Will there even be fast and free wifi at Arrival to do this while standing in line at the Immigration counter?

    Don't the Uyghurs have Chinese nationality? - Next headline in the works: "Chinese tourists not coming because of deportations"... 😆
  3. StayinThailand2much
    Just another day in Pattaya... 😆

    "There is no such thing as happiness." Not with that attitude... 😏

    Morocco - Istanbul - Abu Dhabi - Bangkok - Spain... quite a detour to get there. Why didn't they just get on a boat like everyone else? 😆
  6. StayinThailand2much
    Never boring. Politicians always coming up with crazy tourism schemes, e.g. 'drinking zones for tourists'...
  7. StayinThailand2much
    "Drinking zones for certain tourists"... Count me out, Thailand... 🙄

    Maybe. But what did high tariffs do for America and the world 95 years ago? And the financial markets (investors) seem to agree with Buffett.
  9. StayinThailand2much
    I mostly agree. However, tariffs for Chinese imports make sense due to dumping prices and heavy subsidies by Beijing. Of course the tariffs for Canada and Mexico are mostly based on politics (illegal immigration) and the drug-trade, so they don't make sense, and are counter-productive.
  10. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, two years ago.

    Well, this being Phuket, I'd like to know, did they agree on a price, or did the driver request extra money on top, or did the Russians just not pay the agreed price? Also, did the driver try to overcharge the Russians, and they knew it, fleeing to, possibly, avoid a violent confrontation?
  12. StayinThailand2much
    And I thought, I had read very recently that 'Africa' is the future for Thailand's tourism industry. 😆

    Or pee into your soup... 😆

    'Pro' of sending back your dish cause it's not 'properly' cooked; they may actually do it. 'Con', they may spit into your dish (or worse)... 😆

    A slice of toast and a coffee. (No time for more.)

    The planned 300-baht fee is no airport tax, but a tourism tax due every time one crosses any border post, incl. shopping trips overland, say, to Vientiane. It will neither be used to improve airport, nor tourist facilities.
  17. StayinThailand2much
    Yeah, that's what every tourist dreams about. Being doused in dirty water, and most shops being closed... 😆

    Why do they never stop at Zebra Crossings? I quote, talking to a few Thais about this: "No zebras in Thailand..." What do you expect in a country, where every immigration official, bank clerk, etc., etc., makes up their own rules and/or ignores existing laws and regulations?
  19. StayinThailand2much
    So, they expect tourists to get drunk before boarding a flight, thanks to the fact that during their yearly holiday they were only allowed to drink water and soda?
  20. StayinThailand2much
    Has been going on at K-Bank for years.
  21. StayinThailand2much
    Partly outsourced, as so many things these days, to China... 😆
  22. StayinThailand2much
    And not to be confused with the Congolese-Brazzavillians... 😆
  23. StayinThailand2much
    Well, Kuala Lumpur is not Thailand. In Malaysia, I've never been asked 'why you come many times'.
  24. StayinThailand2much
    I think, there is a word for 'foreigner' in the Thai language...
  25. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, but not my loss. And again, it always depends on the syllable stress. One can easily hear, if Thais use the word as a slur, or not.
