Did Trump say it or not ?

As "it" has only one syllable he probably did. He got tongue tied on "cofeve" (more than one syllable).

Let's abolish the whole race war and star Jason Statham as the Black Panther.

 

And star Will Smith as the new Batman.

 

Mix it up a bit.

Jason Statham plays the head of the Wakanda tribe in blackface? That would go down well.

Ciwetel Ejiofor Was born in London of Nigerian parents who were both of the Igbo tribe which has strange parallels to Wakanda. As such he could bring something very special to the party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people

The Igbo people  are a meta-ethnicity native to the present-day south-central and southeastern Nigeria and also Equatorial Guinea.^[13] There has been much speculation about the origins of the Igbo people, as it is unknown how exactly the group came to form.^[14] Geographically, the Igbo homeland is divided into two unequal sections by the Niger River – an eastern (which is the larger of the two) and a western section.^[15][16]

 Chiwetel Ejiofor is a shoe in for the role.

Great actor who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in "12 Years A Slave". Same age as Chadwick Boesman.

That is not a place you should go to.  Unless you like animal cruelty. Crocodiles being swung around by their tails, filthy living conditions of the animals, Elephants being abused. Really extreme. Amazing that this place is allowed to stay open.

 

 

Agree, but one farang and his family staying away will change nothing. My son loved it and the crocodile kebabs are great.

Besides, crocodiles aren't exactly saints.

Crocodile farm, dolphin show, barbie on the beach is my son's favourite, off there this afternoon.

I didn't know that Naklua had a water park.

Very powerful. Need more of the same from Biden.

Not totally!

Only because of anti vaxers in 3rd world countries.

Just for clarity, Thai Chana isn't an app, you read the QR code and it links you to a website.

They are useful if u need them. Surely their warnings have collapsed with the lack of tourists and all the bar workers back in isarn.

For win riders, you've hit the nail on the head. Their core customers in central Pattaya were the bar girls.

I've known some funny and quite honest motorcy taxi drivers, joked around many times with them and at times had a regular driver. Sometimes I have a trusted driver go down to Immigration and do my 90-day report for a couple hundred baht. Yeah, many of us, I think, are glad to have these guys around when needed. One of the conveniences and part of the character of Thailand.

Couldn't agree more. One win rider is also my plumber and always invites me to go cockfighting with him.

However, the win rider in the OP is full of it. Very few tourists ever went to Big C Central.

All around the world, locals get discount. 

Royal Melbourne Golf Club, Disney world in Florida, castles in Scotland. 

 

And I would have no problem with that if it was locals vs tourists, but I live a couple of miles from Nong Nooch Gardens and still get charged farang price.

Would someone please post how much they think they spend annually because of dual pricing?

 

So far I don't see it as a budget buster.

Annually? At least 500 baht. Strangely, I always come away from attractions feeling that I've had value for money. Probably because I don't ask how much Thais pay but focus on what I've paid.

We are talking about the UK here, not the civilized world, stay on topic. There's obviously no need for mass testing if no symptoms are spreading.

 

Thailand is on all green lists from most countries including israel, europe to the United States, just not on the UKs, because, well it's actually you guys who are brainwashed. 

European greenlist: Those on the list are Algeria, Australia, Canada, Japan, Georgia, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.

 

Everyone can enter the UK right now, they just tell people to quarantine at home with zero enforcement, including Thais and Americans. As always everything the uk government does is nothing but a farce. 

Can I remind you that this section of the forum is for people to ask questions of and receive answers from the British Consulate. This thread specifically concerns  why British people can't return to the UK, from Thailand, without the necessity of 2 weeks quarantine.

It isn't intended to provide a platform for some blowhard to have a rant about Britain.

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

Why can't we just use the pink card? Took me 30 minutes to get mine and at no point did I speak.

Have never used it, as much use as a chocolate teapot.
