Crew cuts are different these days, I see.

Why not go a step further, and have the Thai government send an official statement to the Kuwaiti government (or directly to the emir?) about the situation and how these youngsters' actions are painting their country in a most negative matter. Perhaps even a subtle suggestion that Kuwaitis may be banned from Thailand. And, maybe include photos of the youngsters with or without names. Not sure how strict Kuwait is in punishment, but if it's like some of its neighboring countries, swift justice could put an end to the noisy bike riders. Just a thought.

??? How exactly does it "save space?" In fact, it takes up more width than a normal single parking space, no?

No, I don't know anything about them. I found it on a previous search for Dockers but never used them. Looking at their "About Us" page, it looks like they might be Middle East-based?

Does this site have what you want? https://www.ubuy.co.th/en/brand/dockers

So much for branding & marketing: the bird, "tweet," and Twitter are recognized worldwide. So let's change it. To a generic Roman alphabet letter. X.

The niece wasn't biological? Was she a blow-up doll or a robot? (Yeah, yeah, I know what they meant...)

Yowza. Running at less than 50% capacity? That can't be good.

65 years old is elderly? ????

From the article linked in the OP:

How wide were the sidewalks on Thepprasit? To remove 50cm would be significant, no?

On https://www.ais.th/one-2-call/sim-netmarathon/en/, they offer: 3 months for B535 (B178/mo) - 5G 100GB/month unlimited data. Is it 100GB/month or is it unlimited data? Do they mean 100Gbps? It says 100GB/month...

Agree that is looks like a shunt release, like this one: https://chint-circuit-breaker.com/product-sht-x3-shunt-release.html

"..a Scoot flight from Singapore to Bangkok..." "...Airbus A321 departed Bangkok at 3.56pm and was due to arrive in Singapore at 7.15pm..." Great accuracy in reporting. Causes me to wonder about the rest of the information in the article.

Where in Jomtien is "Big Market Jomtien"?

(1999, Tokyo) The recent craze for hydrogen beer is at the heart of a three-way lawsuit between unemployed stockbroker Toshira Otoma, the Tike-Take karaoke bar, and the Asaka Beer Corporation. Mr. Otoma is suing the bar and the brewery for selling toxic substances, and is claiming damages for grievous bodily harm leading to the loss of his job. The bar is counter-suing for defamation and loss of customers. The Asaka Beer corporation brews "Suiso" brand beer, in which the carbon dioxide normally used to add fizz has been replaced by the more environmentally friendly hydrogen gas. Two side effects of the hydrogen gas have made the beer extremely popular at karaoke sing-along bars and discotheques. First, because hydrogen molecules are lighter than air, sound waves are transmitted more rapidly, so individuals whose lungs are filled with the nontoxic gas can speak with an uncharacteristically high voice. Exploiting this quirk of physics, chic urbanites can now sing soprano parts on karaoke sing-along machines after consuming a big gulp of Suiso beer. Second, the flammable nature of hydrogen has also become a selling point, though it should be noted that Asaka has not acknowledged that this was a deliberate marketing ploy. The beer has inspired a new fashion of blowing flames from one's mouth using a cigarette as an ignition source. Many new karaoke videos feature singers shooting blue flames in slow motion, while flame contests take place in pubs everywhere. "Mr. Otoma has no one to blame but himself. If he had not become drunk and disorderly, none of this would have happened. Our security guards undergo the most careful screening and training before they are allowed to deal with customers," said Mr. Takashi Nomura, Manager of the Tike-Take bar. "Mr. Otoma drank fifteen bottles of hydrogen beer in order to maximize the size of the flames he could belch during the contest. He catapulted balls of fire across the room that Godzilla would be proud of, but this was not enough to win him first prize since the judgment is made on the quality of the flames and the singing, and after fifteen bottles of lager he was badly out of tune." "He took exception to the result and hurled blue fireballs at the judge, singeing the front of a female judge's hair and entirely removing her eyebrows and lashes, and ruining the clothes of two nearby customers. None of these people have returned to my bar. When our security staff approached Mr. Otoma, he turned his attentions to them, making it almost impossible to approach him. Our head bouncer had no choice but to hurl himself at Mr. Otoma's knees, knocking his legs from under him." "The laws of physics are not to be disobeyed, and the force that propelled Mr. Otoma's legs backwards also pivoted around his center of gravity and moved his upper body forward with equal velocity. It was his own fault that he had his mouth open for the next belch, his own fault that he held a lighted cigarette in front of it, and his own fault that he swallowed that cigarette." "The Tike-Take bar takes no responsibility for the subsequent internal combustion, rupture of his stomach lining, nor the third degree burns to his esophagus, larynx and sinuses as the exploding gases forced their way out of his body. Mr. Otoma's consequential muteness and loss of employment are his own fault." Mr. Otoma was unavailable for comment DarwinAwards.com 1994 - 2001

Actually, I have an easier/cheaper way to book a "fake" trip before the 30th/45th day after entry: I have a pile of unused mileage points with UA which have no cancellation penalty. I'll book my SIN side-trip and once I get to Thailand if I just don't feel like taking that side trip, I will go to Immigrations for an extension of stay and then cancel the SIN flights with no penalty. If I'm feeling game enough, I will actually do the SIN side-trip and avoid interacting with Immigrations for an extension.

Same experience as @Mike Teavee: Folks who have traveled from the USA recently have still been asked to produce a ticket out of Thailand by the 45th day. I'm not confident that escalating to an airline supervisor would be successful. If the airline carries you into Thailand and for some reason you're caught exceeding 45 days (or you simply get a grouchy IO at the airport?) I understood that the airline would be fined. How would a waiver between you and the airline avoid that fine? i.e. Why would an airline supervisor put their company at risk?

If I can get past the hurdle at the airport when the airline carrying me to Thailand insists on seeing a flight out of Thailand within 30 days, that would be fine. I did the Singapore side-trip once before and it actually was quite pleasant, but yeah, any travel these days can be more drudgery than it should.

Yeah, sure. I'll do just that. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm hoping they do. I'm arriving on 25-April for 45 days and would prefer not to have to make a side-trip out of the country (probably a day or two in Singapore.)

Or, Wite Out? Easier to slip into your purse.

Here I was thinking the old "Find 'em, **** 'em, Forget 'em" and wondered what the other two were. Turns out they meant: "food, film, fashion, fighting, and festival". Imagine that.
