And what solution does that party offer?

Shoot a few thousand "druggies" and a few thousand possible owners of illegal guns?

The existinggun laws are pretty conclusive.

Thing is, illegal guns are uncontrollable.

Like killing a cool 2000 so-called drug users?

Next issue to address:

Double pricing, including in state hospitals, museums , parks, etc.

The opposite, probably.

The Chinese "leaders" need an outside enemy to stay relevant.

Connecting ad relying too much on China is playing with the devil.

What is not decent wearing one or more tattoos? Some people like it, and some do not. That has nothing to do with decency! 

Wrong!

If you dislike tattoos easy to think they are indecent.

I agree

Any girl or woman with even a tiny tattoo is not for me.

It's awful.

He killed them?

Or was it an accident?

One would have to be crazy not to think the entire Thai economy has stalled and is in a serious rut.

 

Political termoil with who will be the next leader, and their anticipated 4 year corrupt money grab to line their own pockets will make matters even worse.

 

Talks of huge automotive manufacturers moving to Vietnam?

 

Tourism is coming no where near predicted expectations and may never return to pre-covid levels.

 

The real kicker, is you have to ask what exactly has the government done to prevent this negative economic slide the past couple years and what exactly are they doing today? Submarines? F35's? How exactly does that help the nation?

 

They are too busy clinging to power, to even devote one ounce of effort to solving any of the countries problems.

 

Debt is going through the roof.

 

Things can only get much worse.

 

 

 

 

What you mention about the situation in Thailand is also valid in (most) othet countries, all over the world.

There seems to be no government, anywhere, that had or has an answer to the changes.

Wise is definitely NOT the cheapest for these annual amounts. I shop around the Online FX sites every year. Wise was never an option. 

Wise is unbeatable for small amounts, I mix and match. 

I have used Ozforex most years. I think it's just called OFX now? No need to bank in Australia to use them. 

It might be wise to contact Wise about a transfer that size, it seems there are different fees for bigger amounts if arranged with the Wise admin.

Foreign?

As in.......

 As they maybe are reverse engineered MTU engines or duplicated German engines I would not be happy.

Besides, it is getting a bit long in the teeth this buy, so the design is oldfashioned.

Gangs from Korea?

Gangs from Malaysia?

Some local gangs?

Not from China?

Really?

Why is it they come out with these ridiculous schemes dual pricing ect with no idea of the consequences ???? 

They should discuss with the Hoteliers Tourist board Meeting wise 

First have a idea where they all agree a strategy then put out to the Media all singing from the Hym sheet ????

 

The whole idea of different prices for anything based on skin colour, religion, language or whatever is very racist.

Shameful!

I don't know if I am 100% correct or not: I have a Non OA from years ago. I buy the insurance,,7000? baht...once a year.

I can show 65,000 per month coming in from abroad. Get a one year statement from Bangkok Bank to show immigration.

If I cancel my Non OA by exiting and coming back on a tourist visa. Then change that to a Non O...I will have to show 800,000 being transferred from abroad to begin the Non O.

And.....not sure...but that 800,000 has to be used every time to extend after that. No more 65,000 per month as I do now.

I don't have 800,000, So extending the Non OA is the only way. 7,000 a year for the insurance isn't that big a deal. My girlfriend spends that much on shoes every month.

 

Yes, on O it is 800,000 in the bank with certain restrictions for use, or 65,000 coming into a Thai bank from abroad monthly, or a combination of the two, or a letter from the embassy. ( If still available)

I own handguns. I shoot IDPA and have been to many ranges with many instructors, and never have I used or even seen a "dummy" round. The gun is either loaded or it's not. Your job is to know which it is. Why would this even happen? This confusion about the round being live or not. Or is the only dummy here the person who shot the instructor.

If you are an instructor you should always be aware and in control of the man/woman you give instruction to.

Other instructors should learn from this.

In most developed countries a merger of this magnitude that concentrates market power in the hands of two competitors would face tough scrutiny by regulators. 

Well, what about the concentration in the food business?

I would not be surprised if that merger would be beneficial for the same player.

If that merger will go on, I will go elsewhere from Dtac.

Don't want any business with True.

As far as I remember that would be the second or even the third entry fee to be collected from "tourists"

There was a time you had to buy a ticket in a machine on the airport, which eventually was loaded into the ticket price.

As far as I know the loading of a fee into the ticket price was done again.

So, this might be the third time.

Interesting is, of course, where this fee and for that matter the old fee(s) will be used for?

Is it for the use of state hospitals?

While paying double prices?

Well done, Thailand!
