Most normal VP I have seen. Speaks well, intelligent and the opposite of weird. Kamala is the weirdest candidate ever. 4 word response: Kamala is not orange.

Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
ricklev replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I would be willing to bet 500,000 baht that immigration is not going to allow DTV holders who came here for a single medical procedure or short cooking class to reenter the country and get another 180 days for five years without some difficult and confusing documentation. Remember, Immigration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who created these visas are two separate fiefdoms.- 137 replies

Carl's Jr did not survive covid and they closed all their restaurants in Thailand in 2022. I don't think they ever found a market among Thai people. However, Taco Bell in Bangkok seems to be a hit with young Thais. When I walk past their shop in Paragon it is 90% Thais and Chinese tourists eating there. They have even opened a Taco Bell in Central Pinklao which gets almost no expats or foreign tourists.

Long John Silvers has opened at Megabangna in Bangkok. That is going to some childhood nostalgia food for me. I remember going to Wendys in the basement of MBK in 1997 or so. Didn't last too long.

+1 for La Casita - But I have only ever had the tofu chorizo burrito. It was damn tasty along with all the sides and condiments. In and Out has actually done a couple of pop ups in Bangkok in the last few years. And Shake Shack is open in Central World. Pricey though. The veggie mushroom burger and fries was 500 baht or so.

Not that I expect anyone to care... I was able to top up my Elder Card, but the cashier told me that half-price tokens for single rides and the new Elder Smartcard are for Thais only. I guess they decided to let the old Elder Card, which is no longer available, die a slow and natural death. She had no problem with me topping it up.

Bless your heart.

I am curious, were you using the "Elder Card" or buying half price tokens at the ticket counter? I am curious if they will not let me top up my "Elder Card" or if I will be grandfathered in for half price rides. I ride the MRT to work and back four days a week so I save about 700 baht per month with the half price rides. No big deal really but it is nice.

My bad. I misread the posts. Anyway, she graduated from historically black Howard University and still belongs to a dominant black sorority. That doesn't seem like denying her heritage to me.

OMG!!!

Oh my god! The dreaded "far left"! Maybe throw in "radical" and "socialist" to further attempt to demonize any ideas that most of the country agrees with.

The funny thing is that if you do a representative poll of both parties and ask about each policy individually, such as Medicare for all or higher taxes on the wealthy or strong environmental regulations, it turns out a majority of Americans agree with almost all of the proposed policies of that horrible far left democratic socialist. It's true!

It will be interesting to see what happens when I go to top up my Elder Card then.

You are welcome and thanks for your time.

60 is the minimum age for the MRT Elder card. I got it a few years ago with my Thai driver's license. It's too bad the BTS doesn't offer something similar for foreigners.

It's too bad he felt the need to pretend that people would be taking vacations after the 180 days instead of clearly asking if border bounces would be allowed or ask what kinds of courses would qualify for the visa. Would a one week cooking course work? It does clarify a lot, but of course each embassy will assert their own requirements.

Their masters told them to hate her, so they hate. They can't win if they argue policy as the only policy they have is lower taxes on the rich, limiting social welfare programs, and unlimited military spending. Who in the right minds would vote against their best interests on policy, but hate, well hate is the great distractor.

I happened to be walking past the opening of the first Taco Bell in Bangkok at The Mercury Ville and I noticed a young foreign woman greeting customers. (There was a very long line of mostly young Thais waiting to get in and order.) I asked her about the decision only to offer chicken and pork and she (from the USA) told me with absolute confidence that Thai people don't eat beef.

You know, it is possible to disagree with someone's public policy positions without hating them. Who benefits from the division and hate?
-
I was very much anticipating the bean and cheese burrito of my youth when Taco Bell opened in Bangkok but, alas, Taco Bell Thailand, with their marketing wisdom, decided that beans would not be sold in any form at any Taco Bell in Thailand. It's a damn shame is what it is.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Joe Biden...

Perhaps consider the possibility that you can disagree with a person's policy ideas and still respect them. Ask yourself why hate is needed. Who benefits?
