I literally said nothing about taxes. But yes- I'm pro lower taxes for everybody. Taxation is theft.

Thai women fight Kuwaiti tourists in Soi Bangla, Phuket - video
PingRoundTheWorld replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
What reputation? a cessepool of the world's worst tourists vs overpriced tuktuks, expired hookers, and scammy venues? Patong is truly one of the worst places on earth in so many ways. It was fun during Covid when there were no tourists, but on normal times...ugh. -
Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
PingRoundTheWorld replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Why do you need an explanation? Benevolent men supporting the local economy in Isaan, countless herds of water buffalo, single mothers and their children and their mothers, and sometimes even gambling-addicted drunk husbands needs no explanation - it's good to give back to the world! Two crisp notes at a time! To be fair though, I don't do short time. It's extra long or it wasn't meant to be. -
Do you hold hands with your paid companion?
PingRoundTheWorld replied to Celsius's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If you're doing it to "show off" then yes - it's ridiculous. Personally I don't date/pay anyone that I don't geuninely like and feel like they like me beyond just money, and if I like them then sure I will hold hands and hug them - because I like them, not to show off. -
Editorial Immigration and the New Government
PingRoundTheWorld replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yeah. Very unlikely they will alter it drastically. Maybe small changes like a shorter duration or more scrutiny, but unlikely to be scrapped altogether. -
None. She's absolutely NOT qualified and she will be a terrible president if elected - which is unlikely. I'd take madman Trump over her in a heartbeat. The whole Democratic party is being eaten alive by the progressives driving it down the drain. I'm generally liberal: pro-abortion, believe everyone should be able to do whatever they want, etc - but this isn't what the Democrapic party represents anymore. Republicans at least make sense, Democrats do not these days.

Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
PingRoundTheWorld replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
While I have met big spending Indians too, yes - the vast majority of the ones who travel in large groups spend very little. The stereotypes of 5 guys sharing a beer and a girl are in fact true. Thailand needs more quality, not more quantity, something they always seem to forget. Pattaya too is completely flooded with Indians - they're mostly harmless but there's just too many of them walking around in the middle of the road making second street look like Mumbai. -

Why wait? Just get the DTV now, while you can, and don't worry about it. -

The "obvious solution"? Not only are there plenty of genuine tourists who enter a lot more than one or two times a year (seriously - wtf?). This sounds more like the usual drivel from expats who hate expats than actual news - has anyone in government actually mentioned ANY of these ideas of how to limit the visas? Yeah didn't think so - the whole point of allowing 60 day entries and the DTV is because they want MORE foreigners (money), not less. Yes, I do think 5 years without any checks whatsoever afterwards is excessive not to mention an insult to anyone who purchased Elite recently, but let them decide what they want to do with it before we start suggesting any draconian changes.- 93 replies

Senile old ****. Just retire already. This wasn't much of assault as much as it was a person who should be in a retirement home. Hopefully this helps drive him out of politics.

Lift plummets from 32nd to 15th floor in Bangkok condo (video)

Tiktok generation. B**** literally had a near death experience and the first thing she thinks of doing is taking a video of exiting the death trap. smh. Would smash though. 👍 -
Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
PingRoundTheWorld replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Absolute rubbish. False information. There is no such rule or law 100%. Show me the actual law that states this - it doesn't exist. P.S. I am currently on a more stable visa, but I lived in Thailand on exempts and tourist visas from 2016 to 2020. There is no actual law or rule and it's totally at the discretion of the IO. -
Thai PM Srettha Axed Over Controversial Cabinet Appointment
PingRoundTheWorld replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I spoke too soon. Literally his daughter. This can't get any better. 🤣 -
Most beggars and beggar-alikes (flower sellers and other parasites) in tourist areas aren't even Thai. They come from Vietnam and other countries to prey on tourists. It's nice to educate the public to stop giving them money, but what they really should be doing is arresting, blacklisting, and deporting them. Especially nasty are the flower-sellers who rent children to work with them all night to try to gather sympathy, and that's not even getting into the children hired to pickpocket. Protect your pockets when they swarm you! There is a reason they travel in packs.

Thai PM Srettha Axed Over Controversial Cabinet Appointment
PingRoundTheWorld replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Amazing Thailand. So they disbanded MFP, remove the PM, probably elections again without MFP - then guess who is going back into power? 🤦♀️ No doubt this was planned, and sadly they'll get away with it. -
You have a nice day too. You're welcome.

Yes, you need it. You've always needed it. The airline may refuse boarding without it and actually will in some countries like Philippines.
