strange that you can get married and, presumably, have kids before you can vote or have a beer.
It's a crazy world. Kids can be sent to fight a war straight out of high school before they can do any of that.

It's simply a madness. Why are they keep trying to reinvent the wheel? They had 40+ million visitors on the old non-system. That wasn't working? You dance with the one that brought ya.

Yeah, I certainly notice that.
Would rather be in the company of hungry cheetahs.
???????? I was waiting to see if anyone would catch that no-pun-intended-word. ????

Thanks, OP for the report. Was the CDC vaccine card accepted in the process w/o any hiccup? My card only has name and address.. no passport number or DOB, as I'm sure with most Americans.

Renting a car is a great option, but some of us are not used to driving on the wrong side of the road.

Wasn't there a similar story a few years ago when some Indian actor was either denied or held up for a long time at an US airport and there was an uproar?
They seem to like to make a big stink about every little thing.

You can't make this kind of **** up. A late night talk-show host would not run out of material, if they keep an eye on this forum. The government over reach is on a whole different level with these clowns, as if they got nothing else to do. Bangkok governor's office has a hand in this? Unreal. Don't they have a consumer protection agency of some sort? It's surprising they don't require people to check in with the government so often. Wait.. they kinda do... for us dirty people. ????

There's no such thing as forbidden. Show up in court in pants. That's all.
It's not that simple. This is bigger than just pants. Pants are more symbolism for women wanting more even playing field in this male dominated society. It may not be forbidden by written rules but every society has understood social norms you're bound by; especially in a profession like law where traditions just don't budge. So your lady lawyer shows up in court in pants, following your advice. Upsets the older male judges with traditional mindset. How do you think your case will fare?

China's golden age had reached its peak around the time of the Olympics and it's been all downhills since, credit to, in part, their carelessness in introducing the corona virus to the world. CCP is well aware of the bubble and its inevitable pop. Their nervousness about its impact can be seen through their sharp escalation in threats to Taiwan. They are looking to rechannel the domestic public outcry and dissent that will follow to a national war rally. That's a classic proven go-to play in the authoritarian playbook. With the Russians helping distract the US, the timing may be right, though the window may be small. Their decline may be just as rapid as their rise and the time is ticking. How determined is Xi to put himself in history books as the modern day national hero that finally achieves the grand territorial goals?

They should sell Attack insurance for tourist coming to Thailand. Going to need it. This will not stop. Especially with all the new Rich people coming to visit Thailand.
But there is. The higher tier Plan 2 AXA Covid insurance includes that provision.

I have mentioned this before, because I don't believe that a lot of Thais know the significance of the zebra crossing (as we call it) and that they are supposed to slow down and stop when someone is on it.
Zebra crossing as who call it? ???? It, along with "bonnet," are foreign words to most Americans. We can guess the meanings in their contexts but they are called "cross walk" and "hood." Cheers. (We don't say that either but I've picked it up here.) ????

I partly understand the sentiment but going from 2nd or 3rd most powerful passport to a passport of inconvenience? Hmm.. Good luck traveling to a first-world country on a whim.

What are the 100,000 Red Chinese doing in Thailand? Are they retired? Married to Thai? Embassy/consulate "staff?" That's a big number and I'm curious.
well.. the world would be a much nice place if the Chinese stayed in their own country and not leave. Thank you President Nixon.

Most European countries publish everything in 15 to 20 languages.
And are we in Europe now or a developing SE ASian country? Why on earth would you expect equivalence?
Not much different in the US either. It's getting ridiculous. English should be the only language for government use. That is our language if you want to be in the US, take it or leave it.

It's about time they're made legal. I got hassled so often in Pattaya, it was always an adventure getting one in and around popular areas. You'd have to be very discrete about pick-up. The security/traffic guards at and near Hilton & Central would always be on the look out and snitch to the cops. One time I had a lady Uber driver (before Grab) suddenly take-off on a cop that stopped us through the horrendous Second Rd. traffic. I though I was going to either die or end up in jail.
It sounds like they are going to make sure it stays more expensive than meter taxis though. Probably needed to make the cabbies happy but I don't mind paying a little more to not have to walk down my quiet soi in hot weather to get a taxi.

I'm always amused how they pull these projection numbers. Do they ever hit any in the time frame they project?
And I'm always amazed how they find translators in some of these languages. They'd have to be very very good or some serious international crisis can happen. I don't see any more than a handful of qualified Mongolian translators in Thailand.

Do they even have enough syringes for their uber ambitious plan? I bet you lack of needles is going to come up as one of their excuses at some point down the line.

They used 50 officers because 51 would be in violation of the rules. Apparently the numbers don't matter if farangs are involved.

He's scared of CCP, among other things he may be.
