Get a second opinion. I had a mate who had a camera up his backside for a prolapsed polyp. The doctor told him it was cancerous and he needed quick surgery to take his bowel out.
He went back to his home country and it turned out it was a benign polyp that was cut out.

The EU should give Britain what it wants.....that IS THE COMprOMISE THAT IS NEEDED. They weren't demanding all this stuff with the Canadian agreement were they. Cut the apron strings Boris and tell the EU to get lost.

Maybe off topic, but I will not be applying for a re-entry permit when I do my next extension. Waste of money, and there's no telling when the borders will be unconditionally open again.
Yup save yourself 3800 baht. I'm in exactly the same mind for next March. I will tell you, travel is overrated....all that stress at the airports, standing in lines, <deleted> food dadadadada.

Personally I think it is time to take the gloves off. Also I do not understand waves of refugees who turn up as single males between the ages of 19 and 45. Limit asylum to women and young children. Send single men back to the war zones and let them fight in their own civil wars.

MAC makeup makes up more of economy than bloody fish.
Worst still the little fish we catch in the UK, we ship to Europe anyways.
Fish make up 0.05% of our economy.
Get the hell out of town with this nonsense.
As for state subsidies - it's almost laughable. The UK government over the course of the last 50 years has been one of the lowest state subsidised countries in the world. Compared to Germany or France the UK subsidises companies about 60% less. Again, it's a completely bizarre notion.
Rishi Sunak, the UK chancellor, said him sitting in a office was no way he could delegate which companies to subsidise. Yet we are meant to believe Dominic Cummings has a plan to subsidize robotos, etc - GET THE HELL OUT OF TOWN.
Supposed trade deal with the US will be over if Biden wins - especially if we break the Ireland deal.
If we break the agreement we signed up for Northern Ireland we are even more screwed with the US and EU.
These xenophobes should be happy they have cut out of free movement. Now they are obsessed with fish. They won't stop till the whole economy has collapsed and we turn in to Khemer Rouge Cambodia, attempting to grow our own crops and become self sufficient.
Ridiculous.
I sit with these immigrants in Thailand who feel they are shielded from any hurt. Yet the UK Pound will fall close to 20% more if there is no deal. Ridiculous !!!!
I still see no upsides to all this madness. Granted we have stopped immigration, and i'd say to at least 95% of those who voted Brexit that was the main issue. Now we got that. Now what - what do we hope to achieve?
Our fishing industry will expand rapidly without the merciless competition from the EU super trawlers.

Hang in Boris. Screw trade deals. Just make sure our fisheries are safe from marauding French, Spanish and Portuguese trawlers.

The government borrow $300 million after the floods in 2011 to do a comprehensive refit of the drainage system.....as far as I can see it wasn't very successful despite tearing up the roads for mile after mile.
Khao Yai is another disaster......they've cleared so many trees (now higher-ups genuine wooded homes) that water runs off into the Lam Ta Kong river and floods in the middle of Pak Chong. Who are these berks that throw away $300 million of other people's money. (I read a few years back that between 30 and 50% of public money spent in Thailand goes to bribes.....time something was done).

These guys paid an arm and a leg for the stupid elite card.....I don't much care if they get special privileges for it....indeed why pay through the nose for the card if you can't even use the visa?
The most serious thing in all this is the sheer incompetence of the government. They have no strategy.....all they have is a series of gimmicks like a low-end shoe store....'penny off this week only'.
They really need to ditch the gimmicks and devise a strategy for bringing the tourists back....in the real world. Clearly they are unable to do it themselves so, much as I am not a fan of management consultants, place a call to McKinsey and get some <deleted> brainpower on the problem.....but first fire Anutin.

I think this is all about institutional racism. Farangs are despised by the elites who milk them for cash. The country has a massive unemployment problem yet is letting in hundreds of thousands of foreigners (Burmese, Laotians and Kampucheans) to work in unskilled jobs. There seems to be no problem there, but we already know Anutin's views, he has stated them many times we are now seeing them in action. He would rather let in thousands of Asians than a handful of farangs that have been living here for years on work permits, retirement extensions, marriage extensions etc.
I am looking to move country as the immigration atmosphere is so hostile here. I can foresee an incident where a faring is accused of being COVID positive and is attacked by some young hooligans for not wearing a mask or some such.

The pooh theory of tourism. But the Chinese are booing in the water as they pretend to bathe.

Wow.....innovation gone crazy, different sizes? You can collect the whole set......and even zanier, they come in different colours....how innovative is that?
One gets the sense that Apple has lost their edge. Yet if one were to collect the whole set you would have about 30 phones? OK for a drug dealer, but for mom and pop too many phone numbers to remember.

It's Thainess mate. You know the theory of relativity.....well when Thais work they actually create negative value (that's like c being the speed of light)....and when they go on holiday they create massive value. It's call the Theory of Tie-comics.....bit like manga, but with no words.

A pasty is a meal in itself. Healthy too. I lived on them for 6 years at uni (that's including post grad). Two pasties a day and little else (except beer of course).

Apart from some of Caribbean Islands that offer citizenship as well, the Elite card must be the worst money in the world. If you had held one for the past 6 months you would not have been able to get your discount on the spa and green fees.
For the type of money being talked about you could with ease go to a country that is not run by ex-military idiots.

The more I learn about this STV, the less sense it seems to make. Why can the Thai government not make any clear statements, with rationale? Instead we get daily garbage...each day another bit of news that doesn't fit with the previous day's news. Surely someone government has the figure for how many have applied; how many are coming and on what dates? I am sick of this drivel so that Mr Pipat Tat can save face for a stupid idea.

Well I'm shocked!!! Absolutely shocked that STV has not been a huge success. I told all my friends about it (well actually I don't have any friends, but I told my grandma who is 103 and has no money in the bank). But I did believe in the cabinet and President Emperor General Chan o Cha, to put a first class scheme in place. To be honest, I am disappointed in the General, I would have thought he would have been on a private jet flying around the rich countries demanding they send their citizens to Thailand for a short 270 day rest.

41 minutes ago, ThailandRyan said:When has the USA ever attacked a nation using a Nuclear weapon that did not have the bomb, or were not already attacking allies, or endangering it's own citizens by the actions they were taking. Most of the US incursions were motivated by Actions the other countries and rebels had started. Tell me if I have it wrong. Nuclear disarmament has been a goal for many years and the last time a nuclear weapon was ever used was the two dropped on Japan, and it was a messy way to end a war, that the US did not start. Just so I include it as well, OIL has not been the reason for an incursion, economic stability has been a key proponent.
He didn't say the US attacked nations using nukes....he said the US attacked countries that did not have nukes.
