Why particularly foreigners?

Because Anutin thinks foreigners are dirty and Thais need to be protected from them.

I am not sure why any tourists would come to Thailand, especially 8 million of them.

In the other story today, "Anutin: No indication to end of entertainment ban in Thailand"

Would you? And might as well get stabbed by this idiot?

A few well aimed cans of beans hitting him in the head could slow him down. But then, being a farang, I would probably end up being the "culprit" in the eyes of the police and end up getting deported.

"Bar owners are finding it hard to recruit Thai girls"

Because most of them taken and married to TV/Asean members. 

Only the good looking girls were snapped up. The rest are still back on the farm.

They could always just do as Australia did to France.

"We don't want that anymore. We had change of heart" 

That is what happens when a country tries to sell substandard products.

France tried to sell cr@ppy subs to Australia.

China is trying to sell cr@ppy subs to Thailand.

My condo is in Huai Khwang and the times I traveled from Nana to home the fares varied enormously. Sometimes the driver would take a short cut through the back blocks and manage to avoid all the traffic, especially around the Ratchada night market, and the fare would be below 100 baht. Another night the driver might just go along Sukhumvit and Ratchadapisek in heavy traffic and the fare will be 150 baht. I usually give the driver a tip between 20-50 baht anyway. No big deal, especially when I know that just the taxi flagfall back in Melbourne will be more than the 150 baht fare in Bangkok.

And what part of this building is a military infrastructure ?

300 kids dead so far in the Ukraine blood is on your hands Putin. You may win this WAR but you will never, never win over the Ukraine's

people or the rest of the World. Your Destruction of civilian homes and lives, will never be forgiven ever ! 

That photo is one of many that I have seen the past couple of weeks. Dozens of large apartment blocks burnt out or collapsed. Hundreds of homes destroyed. Schools, hospitals, a theatre sheltering hundreds of civilians mainly children... all bombed. Putin is not just a war criminal. He is a barbarian with zero morals. Satan is eagerly waiting for him in Hell. Let's hope they can meet up very soon.

Some off topic posts of a trolling nature have been removed. 

LOL. I thought most of these comments were trolling. 555555

Where does the amount of 12 million baht come from?

2 + 0.5 +5 +7 +2.8 = 17.3 million baht.

Unless they only counted the house and land.

"Not friendly" could mean those listed are Enemas - sorry, enemies!

Enemas are often used to wash out a stuck turd so maybe that is the correct word when it comes to Putin.

Terminally ill, it is now being rumoured. 

Putin must really be looking forward to meeting Satan, his future master. Let's hope they can meet really, really soon.

Australia is a very friendly country, however, we do not include war criminals on our friendship list.

"exported to Russia through nations such as Belarus and China."

Lovely company this guy is suggesting. He seems to have forgotten North Korea in the club.

"Mulberry paper making by hand"

Will it be OK if I manage to automate the process?

I really, really want to make mulberry paper.

Will you be able to get around the firewall with a VPN? 

Probably yes, that is until they follow their Chinese big brother's example and make VPNs illegal.

The key word here is "fall" or "jump"?

I don't think many do fall, I think most jump. I also think most jump because they have run out of money.

PS. In the UK I believe balcony heights are 1.1 m.

I just measured my balcony in Melbourne Australia and it is 0.89m which seems 110mm under the standard. Even with that height I feel unsafe on my balcony and take extra care not to fall over. I am 186cm tall and the top of my balcony only reaches the top of my thighs. I am pretty sure my Bangkok condo has lower railings than here.

Do you know how long you can keep doing 'back to back'? And are multiple back to back stamps frowned upon/gonna be an issue when you re-enter on your next visit for example............ If that was possible I wouldn't mind a flexible 8/9 month stay at that rate............................

The last time I entered Thailand via Don Mueang just before covid appeared, I was pulled aside and got questioned for 30 minutes because I had "too many" 6 month METVs in my passport and the Immigration Officer said I should marry my Thai partner and next time use a "marriage" visa. So even "back-to-back" 6 month visas with gaps of 2-3 months in the home country between each visa are risky.

Why not just ask the concerned person, in my experience if you ask in a correct manor they will answer truthfully 

I remember a long time ago in a Nana Plaza bar asking in a polite manner but the bargirl started to cry and walked away. The mamasan asked me why I was being so offensive to her girl. I said the girl was so pretty I thought she must have been a ladyboy. However, it appears there were no ladyboys in Mandarin. Mamasan had to go and explain to the girl that I was either drunk, an idiot or both. Another of my newbie mistakes.
