DeSantis is trying to differentiate himself from "Warp Speed" pro-vaccine Trump on a red meat culture war issue. He still has not uttered a single word against him, even when attacked. Probably hopes Trump will burn out/go away somehow because if it comes to a primary DeSantis will have to confront and denounce Trump directly thus inflaming the ire of MAGA and all its minions -
Does Immigration make policy or just enforce it? Immigration Rules come from above via legislators and committees. Consulates are under the Ministry of Foreign affairs. They don't care about tourism, and probably are not happy to find out when certain "tourists" they gave visas to turn out to be Criminals. I do wish everyone was playing on the same page.

I prefer the "see a lizard" narrative.????

Because as usual different agencies of Thai govt work at cross purposes. Especially TAT courting "wealthy tourists" in particular who stay longer and spend more with promotions, new visas, and grand promises Thai immigration does everything possible to hassle and drive same away

Shocked by geezers drinking in the morning in PATTAYA. Any idea what they may have been getting up to all night? Go check a business class lounge in any international airport in the region you will see many successful looking business travelers applying themselves quite energetically to the free-flow booze without any concern for what random people think of them.

I had no problems. All account facilities continuing without issue. PEA and Internet auto-debit OK.

Just a response to some duffer who said there were no "soup kitchens". There WAS unprecedented visible homelessness in City centre with people relying on food handouts. The food came from trucks, not "soup kitchens". Same difference. I know many here are over 80 but what is a "soup kitchen" anyway, something that went out with the 23 skiddo? Stone the crows.

A Johns Hopkins study says 'ill-founded' COVID lockdowns did more harm than good https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2022-02-02/a-johns-hopkins-study-says-ill-founded-lockdowns-did-little-to-limit-covid-deaths I tend to agree.

Many people were sleeping in Thapae gate in Chiang mai and nearby, never seen before. There was free food distribution going there much of it by community groups. No tourism maybe no where to go home to many were forced onto the bones of their <deleted> with zero income , for no good reason.

Covid-Infected Thai Man Found Dead On Flight From Saudi Arabia
Captain Monday replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Nobody ever dies enroute. ???? They are a "seriously ill" passenger and nobody is allowed to make the pronouncement of death even a Physician onboard, until arrival at the destination. This is even for domestic flights in the USA. FCOM technicality. What State or nation is to issue the death certificate can become an issue. -
Let them travel elsewhere then. I have the same visa as you.
-
Yes. If you have leadership experience you find 3 percent cause 90 percent of serious problems. Not every bad apple has an arrest record but I guarantee these didn't come from Poland like upstanding altar boys then suddenly start taking errands in Thailand torturing and disfiguring a woman for life with acid. Criminal checks are desperately needed.
-
It does not. Passengers originating from US transit YVR just as they would other West Coast hub airports. Departures to Asia are usually timed to leave after 10:50 AM so they can even accommodate connecting passengers who come from East Coast airports.
-
Never should have been let in to Thailand in the first place. Time to ban most visa free travel /somehow accomplish home country criminal checks
-
Were their home country criminal records checked before they were let into Thailand?
-
Glad to hear of the service. Nobody will choose to go to Thailand because the can transit in Vancouver. The problem with non stop NA to BKK service is a leisure market the yields have been are to low to justify deploying B787/A350 vs other destinations where full fare business class tickets can be sold consistently at high load factors. Hope it works out better this time.
-
They are Thais. No where to deport them to. Home country Criminal checks for foreigners should be mandated.
-
Unless the deportable alien can get assistance from outside, nobody. You rot in immigration jail.
-
Double Dutch no idea either what is that Cockney rhyming slang?
-
Humane, they use in other Asia countries. In US people in wheelchairs with a pen and naked guys get shot because the Police get "scared"
-
I've wondered how many geezers maybe with a Thai wife or family eventually give up on the visa thing. Bit of pension coming laying low upcountry. Not attracting attention or bothering anyone just wait for the inevitable.

Already experienced in Paris. Small supermarket. Only a security guard who knew enough English to kindly help me use the checkout machine, its was all in French. -
Thailand going cashless. Are you for or against it?
Captain Monday replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm vaccinated against the base instinct what animates the conspiratorial worldview. -

Captain Monday replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
We're still in the Pub here don't let't not take it too seriously. I think a cashless future is likely it will take a long time to catch on. For sure in 15-20 years people won't be bent over looking at a mobile. ( I actually have neck damage from it Doctor says very common.) There will be a more integrated technology perhaps some kind of visor glasses or contact lenses one interacts with the environment via. -
