Good heavens i am shocked , countries BIGGEST gang of crooks, what a thing to say about the hard working totally honest police farce.????????????

 

OOPS forgot my meds this morning.????????

Clearly- you never seem to have ANYTHING positive to say about Thailand, I'm struggling to see why you live here. Still hanging on to 2 year old 'accolades' though I see, 

Sycophants of the world (well- the US) rejoice.

Personally I wonder if he actually had the virus in the first place. 3 days to recover when it took the Brit PM 3 weeks (albeit this was earlier on in the pandemic) and others take similar amounts of time.

Its not as if Trump isn't a serial liar and its the type of stunt he would pull, especially as he is struggling in the polls.

"Hey look at me, I beat this virus with the help of Gawd and the power of being the bigliest brain in the world,. Even my son only had the virus for about 3 seconds as he has my orange blood coursing though his veins. I put it down to my daily dose of covofefe'.

The man is toxic in more ways than one and who knows how many will suffer as a result of his super-spreader events. MAGA (Mutually Assurred Genetics Again).

Sounds about right to me.

A (very) recent poll indicated Thais and Chiang Mai residents do not want international tourists.

This to me seems to say they must look for a totally different direction.

For many years tourism seems to have been in decline here, it is not just the fear of Covid, no tourism promotion seems to be carried out (example what has happened to the once great Loy Krathong parades?)

Times will be difficult and I feel for those suffering the hardships that they are currently suffering and or are to suffer in the future but with both the authorities and the public wishing to insulate themselves from outside contact a new direction needs to be adopted.

It may well be that  Chiang Mai is to return to the cultivation of rice, I don't know as I have not heard any concrete proposal for a viable alternative.

Broadly speaking the second paragraph above goes along with my understanding as well. When some people mention tourists they tend to think its all about International tourists. From what I understand 70% of tourism to Chiang Mai and its environs is Thai, and only 30% 'foreigners'' (I can't remember where I read this recently so can't post a link). Its certainly noticeable visiting somewhere like Doi Inthanon.

I think most males here forget that makeup is a chemical alteration.

You come across as an extremely bitter and twisted individual, casting aspersions on other people's wives and friends. As with others above I know Amanda and her family very well (and have done for nearly 30 years) and your comments serve no purpose whatsoever. 

If you haven't got anything nice to say ................................

Bearing in mind the distance from Bangkok to Lampang is approx 600km this was hardly an emergency. The ambo driver had no reason to have lights and siren going. People become apathetic towards the ambos here when they see them constantly being misused.

It detracts from vehicles in a REAL emergency situation.

As pointed out above why did he not just go around to the left, or into the oncoming lane if traffic was clear? 

Killing Fields, Casualties of War, Bridget Jones- Edge of Reason, Tsunami: the Aftermath. to name a few. 

An  update- flew up and back last week. Not much change at the Phuket end, other than more places have opened up in the Domestic Arrivals lounge. Bkk Airways lounge was open and they are now serving light refreshments on the flight. Social distancing in place on the flight up, but not on the way back.

Coming back from Swampy the entry to the departure gates is just a checkpoint IIRC there used to be a scanner there in the past but I may be mistaken, the only security check was at the gate. Bkk Airways lounge there is open as well.

As an aside be wary of booking Bkk Airlines at present. I booked two flights this week, only to have both cancelled within 15 hours. To me they seem to be running a racket courtesy of COVID- book a cheap flight ( I had Swampy return for B1990), then have it cancelled and have to book an alternative  more expensive flight. They know the refund process puts people off but I may be tinfoil hatting this. Their schedules are all over the place at the moment. 

"Regardless, some 40 foreigners registered as staying in Phuket still have yet to present themselves at Phuket Immigration".

If you are not one of the people above the majority of comments above are moot. This is about PHUKET Immigration and THEIR policy. People had their opportunity, chanced it hoping for another extension and will pay the price. Son nam na. Immigration even accepted some applications without all the paperwork but people can go back this week withut repercussions to finish the process.

Instead of knocking the system why not give PHUKET Immigration some credit.

If you are married to a Thai you should be able to get back depending on the availability of flights back from your country. A Noggie friend of mine who has a wife and daughter here had to jump through a lot of hoops but got back in the end via a KLM flight from Amsterdam IIRC. He had to quarantine at one of the allocated locations but got paroled about 4 weeks ago.

Apparently it helps if you are in a location that you can maintain constant contact with the thai consulate or embassy.

Open to 'Premium' visitors- so only poor people carry the virus do they? Sa-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. ????

Go back to them with a printout or photo of the immigration notice and ask them nicely to stop making up their own rules and to do their job properly.

its an Extension of Stay (frequently referred to as a Retirement PERMIT) Nothing to do with VISAS.

Another trump non-event. I wonder how much Jared made out of it?

I'm baffled as to how the world coped before this 'Stable Genius' appeared on the scene. He's the biggliest ever at everything.

More Cofoffe please.

There was a Danish registered business jet on the pan approximately 6 weeks ago when I flew out to Bangkok. I had the registration at the time but haven't got the details anymore. Clearly if you have the connections you can fly in and out.

All this trial run stuff is BS- Corsican gangsters have to maintain their supply lines come what may. ????

Great, now how about catching the coke-sniffing & sports-car driving cop killer?

Oh wait, that cocaine was medicinal - dental fillings right?

 

Funny how values can waver

16 posts before Boss linked to a completely unconnected incident- really, you must try harder.

For all those mocking the arrest and comparisons with other countries he broke the law of THIS country- son nam na.

'services, like McDs, Pizza Co., Bank, coffee shop, plenty of parking. I hope so, BigC Kamala sucks the big D."

I hope not- the last thing I want to see is Kamala becoming another 'Little America'. You only have to drive 10km either way to enjoy all that carp. Although I agree that Big C sucks Supercheap and a trip out to Makro on occasion suit me.

Can we have a third option for the poll?

'Is anyone here either directly or indirectly affected by Thailand considering the purchase of submarines'?

Its right up there with all the wibbling about Boss.
