He says whatever when talking in Europe, same with all the other things they said before, or that land bridge investment, let's see money details first. Or tomorrow land, another joke. Then this again? It is not even up to him, and how could it be a threat to Thailand, that just confirms once again this PM is a moron and clueless (aside from not making decisions anyway, so who cares what he said). Whatever they do I will assure you that weed will always remain readily available in Thailand, nothing will change that ever again. In the best case the police will start making some decent bribe money on it, which actually seems to be the only reason, they wanted to make it (partly) illegal again, as they rule. The police so far has no ability to say or do anything about weed, and also not being able to collect any bribes or small time fines, they want that to change only.

One wonders how long this can keep going on before people would finally stand up against it, my guess is, a very long time. Working fulltime but then even having a hard time for basic food meals, is simply modern slavery at the most cruel way.

Ehh, that is about as reasonable as it gets.

Uh yeah, so what, any random Thai ID number would work. Of which hundred thousands are online, anyway, you miss my point clearly. It's vulnerable.

Your life would be so much easier if just buying a second hand apple computer, I mean they cost as little as 6000 baht nowadays, the days it was expensive is when there wasn't really many second / third hand products yet. This while even my first MacBook Air and Mac mini '14 still work perfect today, with 10 browsers and 5 applications at once open.

If you think about this, this is actually a joke, knowing that any random Thai number should theoretically work, if all they ask is to enter a number?

I'm not sure what you mean, you can simply deposit cash by inserting your ATM card in it, no need for any ID card. I still used both Bangkok Bank and Kasikornbank recently without needing it at least. Random places too. The ID thing should only be if you want to deposit cash, and choose a bank account you send it to, to avoid laundering.

You don't, its called service.

Chiang Mai governor already explained that 'Songkran' is seen as a event by government to promote Thailand, hence it was said to last a few weeks now. This is not for water playing but events in general aka another Bangkok failure idea. The actual and official holiday however is not changed at all, the same goes for water playing which will be 13, 14 and 15 only. Gonna be hiding all 3 days to be honest, the pollution fked me enough this year to never want to experience that again too. Not really interested in people throwing dirty water on me, to get rid of their aggression fueled by alcohol, to then get sick after.

One wonders what moron laughed about my comment, as it is simply the new way it is.

Visa run services in the south seem to somehow be able and bend the 2 times a year limit when crossing with them on Malaysia side, i Believe 3 instead of 2, otherwise it is always 2. Russians and Ukranians also need to stay there for like 3 days before returning.

I think your best chance is to drive by some local coin or QR payment operated washing machine places, often there is names and phone numbers or LINE id's of these companies that make them or maintain them. I have seen various ones when I was using them in Bangkok (the last one I saw is very cool; can pay QR code as well it does the powder itself, so nobody can mess up the machine). But i'm afraid most actually usually sell or lease washing machines as a ready to use one here, never seen people manually converting ones, but it seems to very easy on YouTube to do. Let me know if you know more, i'd like to learn about it. I always liked these self operating devices including snack and drink vending machines.

It's called marketing bro... lighten their loading lol. It's in a way shrink flation, the old average price but now without checked luggage. Guess it depends on ones holiday, I would just wear good jeans and a proper shirt and jacket, as that not counts as weight already, then in my carry-on luggage some extra jeans and nicer clothes. Save the rest to go on a shopping spree, spend up to 5000 baht instead in Thailand for some shirts, shorts, swimming pants and underwear, flip flops. But yeah that is not helping reverse travelling.

Two thai men, stabbed each other, they are however ladyboys. Women is the wrong wording here.

It sure was greener back then, it often looks yellow now.

Yeah that is very comparable to a warzone with a genocide taking place... The brightest comment so far... It's likely some israeli loser with a girlfriend here, who wanted to show off this to her. Hope he gets punished by his superiors ASAP. Imagine how much this could even threaten the local working Thai farmers, as their 'enemy' might now think Thailand agrees with them.

You promised us updates later on, you better get back here asap or there will be consequences.

Well if she is under 65, you could sort her out with safetywing.com easily. For yourself I doubt there is such requirement by going back to your own country. If you want one, it's gonna cost you a lot, if being fine with that there seems to be quite a few. You would need to compare them.

Well yes, but that doesn't make it less annoying, and I actually end up not answering calls from people who got my number for business that way too. So I have to check the number on google every time, it's usually known as a Spam call there.

I've been watching massage shops many times, they do hoe flation for sure if they get the chance to get away with it (apparently most times), as they always sell 1 hour but I notice tourists coming back out on average in 40 minutes. For the general hoes many seem to have lost their mind, asking 2-3K short time even. Not even worth it at that point to ask what Long time would cost. Guess they figure it is still worth it as long 1 idiot per week is paying that, as that is still equal to what a job would be. But that is a sad income for such type of job, knowing the duration of doing it is limited too. Guess there is not too much brains left these days, at least in the earlier days, they seemed to have a logical business mindset with reasonable prices and volume. Now all volume there is, is their body size due to weight and noise. Latest thing seems that they even think we need to pay a reservation fee upfront, or that we will have to meet them on set days and times, that suit them, while we are the customer + asking still 2-3K 55555+

I wouldn't want to even walk near a self-operating machine like that, in a narrow corner, like the employee was doing. Just because all these machines make me think of the terminator.

The French part explains most of the behavior I guess lol. There is a lot French here that seem to live on a shoe string, I sometimes also wonder how many of them are X years on overstay already.

Might as well die in that case, if one feels stable and healthy, and knows there is something that could popup any time, or not, there is little risk to travel a few weeks there. Might as well die or not travel if fearing it at that level. He could even just leave the country and never come back again, bailing on the bill, at his age, lol.

Not the brightest one clearly, if he only went to the mainland and started driving elsewhere he might have had a chance to enjoy some months or years longer lol. There is some strange Disney land type of thing on Phangan that makes everyone believe they can do whatever they want there, and in reality they actually get away with most, it's entirely different than Thailand.
