  1. My point exactly, Thais are so well-behaved already, no need to remind them between nearly every stop of how they are 🫡
  2. I indeed enjoy the NY subway's calm male voice before the doors close
  3. Nonstop public announcements in the BTS: "Do this, don't do that, attention to not do, attention to do..." Whether it's how to stand or how to sit or how to behave, BTS riders are constantly reminded by the female voice how to behave. Subconsciously, hardly anyone notices. This nonstop feeding of behavioral conformity is nothing more than patronizing nanny state applied to everyone.
  4. That's what you get for greed, well done Daikin management
  5. Thailand is a total complete nanny state They don't want you and don't expect you and are afraid of you to think for yourself There are a zillion ways here to impose control That's just the way things have always been here and are run
  6. After all the effort and work that went into such an application, keep the process going. You're about to cross the finishing line. The process is not easy for anyone, for many it takes turns as nothing follows a straight line in Thailand. Maybe you have a friend or connection who can employ you on paper? Wish you all the best! Married for nearly four decades here and working for long, you're the one who deserves the citizenship. Many attempt to force shortcuts, you know what I mean. Keep at it, you are the one this naturalization opportunity is really for, don't get discouraged by the usual bureaucracy terror, just keep your possibilities open.
  7. You see how this brainwashed society ends up Hairstyle is just a small piece of the puzzle Don't tell me you insist that families in Thailand are intact, all I see are single-parent kids (left with the mother and then grandma) The rule here is disregard for anything beyond the imminent self (a.k.a. most Thais still don't care about pollution, the world is one big rubbish bin) Not to mention completely unhinged politics Don't get me started with seniority-rules even in private companies...
  8. One of the reasons I bit the bullet and bled for kid's private school
  9. Well I applied under the first Thaksin admin and my super helpful handler at police headquarters "disappeared" with the political you-know-what... and so apparently did many files 🤪
  10. I was one of those who went into "indefinite limbo." Didn't take their silence for silence, since I got pretty high points and made them re-ignite my application, which then passed some 15 years later 🫡
  11. Unbelievable in what a nanny state this place turns into
  12. Bybit is a legit exchange, there's much more to the scam The victim probably entrusted his funds to the German, simple as that
  13. Anyone didn't expect him to do a better job than his predecessor? That would be a sad state of being not able to form an own, educated opinion.
  14. Good that another Aussie murder suspect, accused wife-killer Graeme Davidson, is already in homeland custody back in Brisbane Heard that Davidson had a history of violence while residing in Hua Hin
  15. For those in discovery mode: They claim it's a croissant holding the salmon and tuna... seems to sell well
  16. The 7-11 mindset, cheap (yet overpriced) highly processed "food" without nutritional value, and getting it mostly delivered, not to mention common Thai laziness, all adds up How Thais already love those bumpui kids!
  17. You could go as far and say that ethnic Chinese heritage is in control of Thailand. Well, there is a middle way between uncontrolled inflows of foreigners and a controlled one. A certain paranoia politicizes fear and holds the country back in many ways. We've seen that with the many nullified elections. No need to feel as a second-class citizen, your voice matters.
  18. He had a history of violence in Hua Hin, ask around.
  19. There is a dislike of everything non-Thai among the higher ups. Thais integrate so well in other countries. Here? Am still waiting for the first mixed or naturalized Thai to have a say in government or politics. Show biz of course, but politics. A farang face in local elections, that would mark real progress.
  20. Was your wife with you at the interview?
  21. Interesting and well-deserved move for the migrants. Guess citizenship applications for expats working and living here for long-time remain stalled?
