Actually, I think they are spot on with their Chinese tourist number estimate... They only got the year wrong.
-
The problem is that drinking tea for 500,000 baht can't be healthy...
-
That's fine. I'm sure, we will read tomorrow (and a couple more times after) how Immigration officers saved Thailand from doom by arresting many foreign overstayers...

"How much sleep should an 8 to 9 yr old thai child get per night?" Probably as much sleep as any other 8 to 9 year-old child, I'd think... (Google is your friend. But advice given above, like 9 to 11 hours seems about right.)

I guess you've never been to a alternative lifestyle bar, or know many gay people. They are not like the stereotypes portrayed on TV series, or the tourist attraction Katoeys or OTT (look at me) ones found in TH. Yes, just think of Chandler Bing. Everyone thought he was gay, till he got it on with Monica...
-
My point is that such people would be called 'criminals' in Thailand too.
-
Well, I was referring to, say, questionnaires or official forms. I wouldn't feel like ticking a 'cisgender' box.
-
Sadly true. And of all the banks, Bangkok Bank seems to be pretty much the only one that offers professional services at all branches, unlike most of the others where quality of service depends on the individual branches' staff.
-
So, would you call yourself a criminal, if, say, by accident you overstayed for 3 days in Thailand?
-
Yes, they did. And Brits (or others) who didn't use the chance to extend their permission of stay are at fault... But calling them "criminals"? I bet this term is not used in Oz.
-
And they haven't got a clue about the economy. Exports down, but some "experts" from SCB talking about the 'soon recovering Thai baht'! - Yes, the well-to-do need a strong baht for their trips to Switzerland...
-
Take a wild guess. I would presume that many Brits came to (and stayed in) Thailand over the past five years. If only a tiny minority overstayed, then this would still be a news-worthy number (in Thailand)... Will we see similar headlines about overstayers from China - guess not! Also, as asf6 pointed out, the source might have to do with it as well.
-
So you prefer transgender?? "Cisgender" sounds a bit like a disease... What's wrong with the good old 'heterosexual'? (I know it's not 100% the same, but I don't feel comfortable to get labelled with 'weird' words, only because a small minority, who feels they are something else than what they actually are, feels more comfortable thanks to such, relatively new, labels...
-
Establishment probably don't want neither, Shinawatra clan, nor Pita in power. But if they want to stop chaos and further self-enrichment by the former, they won't have another choice but to elect Pita...
-
They would. (Doesn't mean that they actually will, but I give Pita a 55% chance to become PM at best; certainly under current political conditions.)
-
Never heard that term before. Anyhow, as a foreigner in Thailand I have it much worse, so, discrimination of Thais by other Thais... (Don't) tell me about it!

Hundreds of migrants rescued off Canary Islands
StayinThailand2much replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Canary Islands? Damn, I guess I'll cross them off my 'To Visit' list. With many able-bodied African men heading for Western Europe, perhaps the countries they came from are worth visiting now... -
And I thought 500 baht was the Thai rate...

Crackdown on Illegal Foreigners in Sukhumvit-Asok Area
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
There has been mention (e.g. by Stickman) that there are fewer food vendors now compared to pre-Covid, so, perhaps, less Thais willing to do this kind of work. (My observation is that, even in other Bangkok areas, food vendors are, on average, much older now than a few years ago.) -
Crackdown on Illegal Foreigners in Sukhumvit-Asok Area
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Because foreigners are easier pickings? Esp. if the Immigration Bureau is sent to do police work... -
Crackdown on Illegal Foreigners in Sukhumvit-Asok Area
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
LOL. Since when do tourists need work permits? -
I imagine, something like at Damnoen Saduak, minus the tour groups...

CP now building houses?
-
So, what kind of ... did granny marry, if the relocation made the family's situation so much worse? And what happened to the house and gran's husband?
