  1. With the US of a.. holes gone full fascist, it's best to boycott American goods. I have started checking labels, and, as much as possible, steer clear of US products. Buy Canadian /European / Australian etc, give Trumpland the finger.

  3. They don't issue visas at the border. Only embassies/consulates can do that.
  4. Exactly, DEI is a distraction from the really significant issues, like the absurd concentration of wealth and power in the neoliberal era. But the MAGA retards eat this stuff up, helps them to project their own intellectual and sexual inadequacies onto a few unfortunate transsexuals.
  5. The ban might have been introduced in 1972, but it either wasn't passed or not enforced until the first Thaksin administration, when minister Purachai, the pure moralist, put it on the books. In the eighties and nineties you could drink around the clock. Buddhist holidays and election days excepted.
  6. They should have warnings at all international airports : The rule of the jungle applies on Thai roads. Traffic is pretty chaotic all over SEA, but Siam is the only country where cars not only fail to slow down when pedestrians try to cross, god forbid stop, but actually speed up( plus flashing and honking) to signal to any potential "crosser" to cease and desist.
  7. Composite fillings lasting 5 to 10 years? Rarely that long in my case. But my cavities are huge, they usually fall out after a year or two.
  8. Can't you just give them the address of a relative? Do they actually check whether you are officially registered there?
  9. He might as well nominate his fellow Slovenian Melanie.
  10. They are probably just referring to the lunar new year numbers
  11. That's in all likelihood not how it works, you could then avoid being taxed by leaving the country for 5 minutes. It's probably going to work like the idiotic tax clearance certificate used to work ages ago, before the most enlightened Thai administration in Thai history, the Anand government, scrapped it : more than 180 days in the country in a given calendar year required you to get a tax clearance from the revenue department before exiting the country, or you would not be allowed to leave. That was quite a pain in the behind back in the eighties.
  12. Phụ Quoc is alright, but certainly not the most amazing place in Asia, not even the most amazing place in Vietnam.
  13. VOA for tourists doesn't exist anymore. It's visa exemption for limited number of countries or evisa, which usually takes 3 or 4 working days
  14. Exactly, a rapist or murderer does time before deportation. Easy : kill somebody in Thailand and see whether they just deport you without any prison time. It's pure fascist MAGA propaganda, and it works because the vast majority of Trumpians are uneducated retards.
  15. Money trumps the law. Come to think of it, Trump trumps the law. All these entitled jerks think the law is not for them.
  16. Wow, only 20 Baht. Are you sure. I have been bitten 4 times in Thailand (farang on bicycle makes Thai mutts furious), and got my rabies shots at various hospitals: if I remember it correctly, it ranged from 200 to 500 Baht. 20 Baht, they might as well do it for free. Will make sure I get bitten in Buriram next time.
  17. Total crap. It never swings to the left in American politics. It swings from the middle to the right, and back, and this time to the far fascist right. There is a real left at American universities.
  18. That's LOS, double standards apply.
  19. If she still has front teeth. Some of these beach professionals are a bit long in the tooth.
  20. Yes, I had some enraged botanists on Soi 6 objecting to my doing a photographic sweep of the attractions. But was able to placate them by taking a keen interest in their scientific laboratory upstairs. They do some really interesting empirical studies up there.
  21. I had it done at the Saigon eye clinic, Tây Ninh branch. They have a branch in Dalat, too. Prices differ somewhat from branch to branch, the one in HCMC being the most expensive.
  22. Not fine by me. And I told them so. Said I would have the cataract done in Vietnam, which I did at a private hospital for less than what Queen Sirikit would have charged me. No waiting, premium service. Scr.w LOS.
  23. " has become", more like "has been for a long time" Vietnam is the opposite : "used to be, but not anymore.
  24. Yes, in the minority, the fascist minority.
