Both names sound Middle Eastern
It's the south of Thailand DA. Many Thai's here have Arabic names... The Italian, who knows 😂

It always amazes me that any left-leaning foreigners would choose to live in Thailand. Maybe they quietly enjoy the way things work here.
Yes, we do. See post above 😁 What makes you think T is far right? Have you actually met real Thai people 🤣🤣

People like you are trying to flip the narrative. It's not going to work.
Hmm, what, exactly, is "the narrative"? To me it is a country with a weak, 2 party political system, with a penchant for electing fossils to government. Both Biden and 47 are seriously old, sick, flawed humans. You got another "narrative"?

I know there are a lot of far-right Western supporters on this forum. So how do you feel about Thailand being so clearly far-right? Thai people first, immigration strictly limited, restrictive residency and citizenship laws, no support for migrants, asylum seekers etc. This must be a dream country for those complaining about the West going down the drain!
Legal weed, don't care about genders, reasonable free health care, do anything and everything they want with a very light brown envelope to solve issues... How the heck do you think Thailand is "far right"? 😂😂😂😂

Then we (Americans) should be allowed to order it from a different country where they sell the same medicine at a much lower price.
Does that same logic apply to all goods? Cars? Clothes? Food? Household goods?

But you are a Brit.
Everything fine in the UK?
Moving on to solve the problems in US?
Thanks a bunch.
Hmmm, lemme guess...
Looks at thread title.
Seems like the thread has nothing to do with the UK.
Ok, my guess, you're deflecting.
You're welcome 😁

Its not a deflection at all... You are showing you do not understand the points discussed.
Dual pricing as it exists in Thailand, is based on Nationality ONLY... You and I cannot get local prices.
Meanwhile the 'two tier' pricing as it exists in other Western Nations (and all the examples as you provided) can also apply to ANY of your Thai friends, if they are residents of those area.
So you are receiving no difference in treatment to your Thai Wife, or Thai friend.
Meanwhile, I know Thai's who live and work in Paris - they will get the EU Residents discount.
You, as an American, will not.
Its not based on Nationality - which would be xeonophobic.
No - its not based on Nationality at all - Its based on Residency.
ANY citizen of any nation in the world, IF they are living in France, or Germany or Spain etc and can show they are a resident of an EU Country, they will get the price for EU Citizens.
Again - its not about nationality - its about residency.
No, its not based on Nationality - because a national of ANY country, could be living in Canada can prove that they a resident of Canada (i.e. with residency card or Canadian driving license) and secure the Canadian residents prices for the Ski resport.
Nope... You just don't understand the difference between Resident and National in this context because you don't want to or are unable to.
No example you have provided charges based on Nationality alone, its open to residency.
WRONG - you can't ignore residency, when residency is THE qualifying factor.
When someone of ANY nationality is a local resident, they receive the rates for local residency.
Sometimes there is a moratorium (a time frame for which they have to have been a resident) before they can secure local rates - but again, that is not a nationality thing and out of state people will have the same moratorium applied.
You can't leave aside the 'local residency' aspect of this discussion, because its not a 'deflection' at its the very fundamental point at very heart of this discussion.
Two Tiered pricing as we witness it in the West is never based sole on nationality alone - I know of not one example where it is....
There is no pricing in the US (that I have seen) where by local residents of any nationality cannot get the same price...
This is 'THE' argument against dual pricing in Thailand, it's ONLY about nationality, not residency - hence its a rather nationalistic and xenophobic policy.
OK... after your stupid screed I have to ask..
You do realize the residency in all the countries you mentioned is not the same as rocking up and having a retirement or marriage permit to stay, right?

No this is not what anyone is saying. What people with empathy are saying is, what kind of regime deports the parent(s) of a U.S. citizen child. Parent(s) have no choice but to take the children with them, even if the child is a U.S. citizen undergoing cancer treatment.
Can you say cruel. Can you say unusual.

You are now. Glad to keep you informed. Now wait a few hours and there will be more tantrums and false claims Trump went bankrupt repeated...and on and on it goes
Checked reporting from 2015/16 on... Almost 100% refers to "businesses Trump has bankrupted". None say Trump was personally bankrupt. Where do you get your odd talking points from anyway? 🤔

Just now, SunnyinBangrak said:More disinformation/lies from a rich vein of them.
Contrary to the posters false claim, Trump never went bankrupt. Yes, some ventures failed - absolutely normal for serial entrepreneurs - but never Trump himself.
Just wanted to wipe away that bs left to misinform other irrational haters in which is a vicious cycle of getting triggered by lies and them making up more lies due to hatred caused by believing the initial lies. If it sounds very clown world, yes it sure is.
Useless post. We are ALL well aware of the difference between business and personal bankruptcy...

Wouldn't be a problem anyway, you'd get a "pending" until the bank produced the docs.
