I do? So that is ringing the bell then! Why nobody just say this in 1 sentence in a headline, that is big news together with better exchange rates. That does make single entry tourist visa's worthless, which is great news again, less queue's for us with non-o applications. -
I personally just always make eye contact when entering a place, and then already know my favorite option, and ask if i can sit there. Then there is usually no space left for a suggestion too unless it would been reserved.

Big Thailand visa changes from June 1

I got lost in all the posts and news articles, as immigration always presents it nice but does anyone now know: we now get 60 day on arrival or what? Or is it just that people who did a visa on arrival application, getting 60 days, which is effectively the same as 60 days on a tourist visa obtained abroad? If we all get 60 days on arrival now I will ring the bell today. -
That means it is done properly according to Thai customs. A Thai would like to be highlighted (many foreigners too), the center of attention and into the spotlight hence they want to give you a ''Premium seat'' even we westerners often prefer the opposite, more privacy is better.

Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service
ChaiyaTH replied to ravip's topic in IT and Computers
It's a 100 dollars per month for global coverage if you take the package from Philipinnes. It is not available in Thailand itself directly, else the price would be 40-50 a month (domestic service price). -
Where do foreigners fit in the Thai hierarchy?
ChaiyaTH replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Always fun see these topics go on and on while it was answered and killed by me in the first page. -
Knew a guy in Chiang Mai, from Austria, never smoked drinked or did girls, lived here since many years though. I always felt sorry for him; he lived such a boring life, never enjoying a single thing, but apparently so healthy. Guess what happened? No joke here. He was like late 30s or early 40s, collapsed at Central festival chiang mai + death on the spot. I guess except for a small circle nobody even knows today he died, because he was such a boring person. To then take in mind that he worried about health all the time.

Cliche BS, you would be the guy dying of cancer premature, just because of that assumption, in theory. That is the reality of the odds, nothing personal. Chances might be higher to just die of a random accident in the first place. To plan life, at retirement ages, decided be employers, is the entire brain<deleted>. One should live and plan life, as if it doesn't even last after 50-55. If people did that, everything after would be bonus, and most make it until 50-55 too.

Sorry but this topic lacks the basic intelligence before it was even opened. Do you really not understand this yourself? First of all, we can't control or decide to get a (deadly or late detected) cancer at any random age. Secondly we can't control the same thing with a heart attack. To talk about ''not smoking reduces the heart attack chance with 20%'' is complete BS, sure it's nice to add on if you can, but in terms of actual odds or percentages insignificant AKA big BS. Anyways, if you want to worry as a male in general, and look at pension ages at the same time, I can educate you quickly: 1/4 male die before 65. Even more before 70 and 75. They tell you to work until around that age, and most of you plan to live the good life from 50-55. I tell you now once only: you are doing it wrong if that applies to you.

Doing things to challenge yourself

Maybe you should try to do it between 1AM and 6AM, that is usually when <deleted> happens anywhere. -
ICQ messenger service to shut down after 28 years
ChaiyaTH replied to george's topic in IT and Computers
Facebook is for 'old people' lol, the generation you mention uses shorts all day (yeah facebook too but mainly tiktok, IG etc). It's been proven to work like hard drugs. The issue is that parents fail to control it, because they often not even have basic tech knowledge. When applying the positive things, it is only improvements. I mean it's Thailand's number 1 nanny: ditch a ipad or smartphone in a toddlers hand and it will be quiet all day. To then add the 7/11 slurpies and look like a oempa loempa by 9-10. -

Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry

Absolute nonsense, the Chinese would already get their hands on stuff all the time, ever been to my hometown Amsterdam? Let me guess, you are American? This stuff can hardly come from another nationality than that. -
Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
ChaiyaTH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What I wrote above is actually what the cannabis business owners been working on together with those related to Anutin etc since the start. Somehow it is just entirely unclear with the government but it steers in the right direction anyway. Just sucks they make the news as if it all goes away. However this guy called Bear, which apparently was the bridge between the 2, died in April this year suddenly of a heart attack. I'm not sure but I think he was a relate of Anutin. -
Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
ChaiyaTH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So soon everyone has a medical cannabis card aside from a Thai driving license. For those who don't the police now has a little earner and life continues. Exactly as planned and expected, even though, they say they don't know. Happy to pay 5K bribes for the rare case I would get checked. -

You can't really have a opinion about stuff like this, it is like saying the sky is green. -

Correct, even you would somehow obtain Thai nationality, you would still be the 'foreigner' if it comes to how Thais will deal with you. -

No that is simply the truth, you can complicate it as much you want, it doesn't change the facts. Anyone with brains and enough years here can confirm that. We are seen as a different group: foreigners.- 197 replies
