This isn't about MAGA. The countries who present a terrorism risk have been like that for many years, long before Trump was president. Are you denying the at Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Chad and Libya do not have a significant terrorism risk? Iran tried to assassinate Trump and has repeatedly threatened the USA, and you expect the USA to say come on in to Iranians?

Disappointed? Is this another one of the cannabis initiated delusions?

Your argument requires that the two transgender prostitutes be of rational mind and free of mental illness. I have yet to encounter a transgender in Thailand working as a street prostitute who is stable and mentally sound. Most prostitutes are screwed up emotionally to begin with, but transgender prostitutes working a street corner are a textbook of serious problems. A person who takes advantage of a mentally ill or intellectually limited person with the aim of obtaining a sexual encounter is evil and exploitive. Thailand has many work opportunities, but the hookers want big money. The people who go into prostitution are often vulnerable due to debts, and/or intellectual limitation, and/or mental defect and/or alcohol or other drug dependency and/or criminal record and/or because they are a migrant without a proper work visa.

He recounted how he hired two transwomen near Pattaya Beach and took them to his hotel room on Soi Pattaya 10 Surely, you do not expect us to believe that his hiring of the two transgender prostitutes was for anything other than a carnal event?

In your dreams. Have you been chasing the demon cannabis intoxicants this early in the morning?

It is chump change when it comes to the type of financially secure visa holder Thailand is seeking. The reality is that it can take months for their homelands to issue a visa to a Thai national, and it is subject to more stringent requirements. And usually the person applying is expected to do so from their country of residence. The foreigners have a relatively easy path to obtaining the visa.

You are in denial of the long standing problems with the restricted countries. Some are already subject to international sanctions. Qualifying FIFA tournament countries will be able to obtain visas. It is understandable that the USA wants to restrict some countries' citizens because of the likelihood that they will refuse to leave. Are you aware that Eritrea withdrew from qualification prior to playing any matches, because of its embarrassment that players would refuse to leave. The Congo will not be participating because of its ban by the Football governing body over government influence peddling and meddling. Other countries have not qualifed. Which of the restricted countries has qualified for the tournament? Have you looked at the restricted nation list? Most are hostile to the USA. Others are subject to international sanctions. All have a high proportion of people allowed in who claim refugee status or who overstay their visas. Chad, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, all have a terrorism problem. Myanmar, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea are subject to sanctions because of human rights abuses. Iran, Yemen and Afghanistan are hostile to the USA. Haiti has a problem with unauthorized migrants and bogus refugee claims. Haitians refuse to go back to Haiti. The USA has every right to protect itself from unwanted immigrants and from terrorists.

The country reportedly has a high proportion of visa holders who overstay. The Laotian Times reported that 4.500 laotians illegally reside in the USA. Also the Laotian passport controls are not deemed appropriate.

How about dealing with the disgusting foreigners who come to exploit people? The man was in Pattaya for the express purpose of buggery. He wasn't there for dharma.

And not a Freedom Flotilla. It was one boat with little humanitarian aid, but filled with terrorist enablers and sympathizers.

Are you certain that the fire did not come from Hamas or Islamic Jihad or one of the dozen or more militant groups? You are relyng solely on Hamas which has a history of lying.

The procedures will not negatively impact legitimate foreign investment. How would it? What it will do is answer the international pressures to combat money laundering and tax evasion.

If that the big shopping mall with the hotel, then there are 2 bathroom access points within a couple minutes walk from where they were urinating. There is one right in the hotel lobby, and there are the shopping mall toilets next door with a big sign pointing the way. There was no need to urinate where they were. I don't like having to walk through a cloud of urine stench on my way to Big C. Do you? Do you think the hotel needs drunks peeing at its entrance?

I watched the news feed of the vandals. The people who were burning vehicles, damaging businesses and terrorizing motorists on the freeway were not legitimate protestors. I saw multiple Mexican and Palestinian flags being waved. Waving a Mexican flag was sure to incite US citizens who could be expected to be upset by the sight of a foreign flag being waved as US law was challenged.I doubt that a US national was waving those flags. Some people were there to vandalize for the sake of vandalizing . The people have every right to protest peacefully. However, the part of the protest which were not peaceful was indefensible. The people who's property was being destroyed, and the people who needed to travel freely were having their rights and liberties suppressed by the protestors. The local authority, i.e. the Mayor and the Governor were not acting to protect them. The police should have moved in and stopped it as soon as it started. The National Guard is being used to protect federal property, where some of the protests occurred. If the LAPD had intervened sooner to protect the property, there would have been no need for the National Guard call up. Blaming Trump for this is unfair. On the contrary, it is the local government(s) who have allowed this to get out of hand. The courts are the appropriate venue to oppose Trump policies and as court rulings have shown, the courts do intervene when necessary.

Why marry an old farang if you don't have to?

Does repeating Russian propaganda faithfully qualify as an accomplishment?

Thai Immigration has access to the RTP data base and can see who is under a request to detain, or is named in an investigation or has a Thai criminal proceeding record. Why do you think the biometric information is taken and the passport scanned? It is not for show. You made the claim that some individuals would be forced to return to their home countries to obtain visa and lamented that it would be an "economic hit" for Thailand. The group you refer to are not a major income source for Thailand. I replied that if a person you refer to was unable to afford the trip home, then it was unlikely that person was contributing much to the economy of Thailand. A motivated person will not be too discouraged by the need to follow standard immigration procedure common to most countries. The expat personnel at Toyota, Ford, Deloitte, Mitsubishi, LG, Samsung,Baker & McKenzie, GAIC, BYD etc. will not have the problem you refer to. Nor will the people who are on marriage visas or have established legitimate businesses. These are the people who are the people who, as a group do have a financial impact. You have over estimated the importance of the independent IT contract worker, or person on an "education" visa to study Muay Thai or Thai language, or individual long term visitor.

Thank you.

Think before using an illegal vehicle. An illegal vehicle is uninsurable. You might be able to purchase an insurance policy, but there is a requirement that the vehicle be authorized for the road. The policy would be canceled ipso facto, at inception. A foreigner who has assets in Thailand leaves themself open to losing those assets if responsible for a liability loss and uninsured. The use of an illegal vehicle may also void some private health insurance policies. And if anything goes wrong and the vehicle is liable for damage or injury to a third party, there can be legal ramifications.

Not really. If the expat can not afford a return to the home country, then they were not a particularly high value non resident to begin with.

He is Russian if he is a Russian citizen and holds a Russian passport. Not his first run in with the police. He was charged with hit and run in July 2024. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/russian-dj-arrested-in-koh-pha-ngan-for-last-years-hit-and-run

Powerful in the sense that she is part of the Corbyn faction. These are the people who come out to protest and who can shut down the country. Although small in number they have undue influence over the union movement and have many sympathizers embedded in social and private media. The woman is pure evil and her focus is not in the best interests of the UK. Her riding has a 20%+ presence of people who do not identify as UK nationals,despite being citizens.

Yannick is his first name. Pattaya needs a real cleanup These sex crimes are becoming far too common.

Many of them are known to the authorities. There may be insufficient evidence to obtain a conviction but they can be blocked from entering. Examples are people who are named in investigations or who have been detained previously.

What is the grey business at the airport?
