  1. Thats the problem. Most of them are much better than present american government. It they bother take interest they might actually LEARN something for a change ;-)
  2. That true: Many dont give a <deleted> about anything that dont directly effect themselves. Quite sad-actually :-) And they also have minor knowlegde on anything outside US, and a deep distrust in US officials and politicans (elected by themselves)
  3. Well, true story: Jan 20/26 arrive from norway klm. Made online application card, stating stay in house of me and thai wife. (As always last 20 yrs) Immigration officer ask for hotel reservation, "if tourist need stay hotel"! Repeted stay own house as always done she took me to her boss, he said he be nice and only ban me from thailand 99 yrs, not lifetime. Told be lazy, not apply for visa. Told him have applied 10 times, no problem for me. After som "yelling" let me go, but if i didnt already have "attachment" to thailand it would have been my last visit... :-)
  4. Not a legal registered wedding. Just "a party showing family, neighbours "and world" thay are living as husband and wjfe". May thais do only like this.
  5. Been travelling to thailand at least 3 times annually for last 15 yrs. Normally ok and no problem but last time met offiser very rude. My problem: 60 day viss on arrival but stay at my thai house was not allowed, had to show "hotell booking". When asked about "cash bringing along to thailand" and showing my thb 740 (most honest people use cards or thai accounts), he liked prohibit me to thailand 99 years.. "You never get a second chance to make a good first impression". No normal politeness, just rudeness.
  6. Well, have met a real rude immigration officer :-) And as said; " you dont get a second chance to make a good first impression ;-)
  7. Government rise vat 3% and all goods get more expensive. So everybody, rich and all poors are paying. Instead of rising income tax and corporate tax so its the richest that for once did something to help less fortunate. But no-long live egoism :-)
  8. This time arriving on thailand getting 60 days tourist visa, i was almost kicked out of thailand for 99 years. Reason: i was staying in house of me and my thai wife. " if not stay hotel you are no tourist" !!
  9. That true and indicate the inequality in income, between the majority with very low income and the "few on top" with very large. But many thais do belive they pay "tax" , but thats the VAT, also set to increase..
  10. Guess PP is only hope for change to a "better life" for 85% of thai population. (15% is military and "superrich") My payers is they win absolute majority in the election. That might also be a signal to other parties that "time for a change"..
  11. One problem, most thais never hear "proper" english spoken. As a start, they should remove all "dubbing" on thai television and foreign movies in cinemas. Do subtitles in thai instead, that would (maybe) also improve reading skills..
  12. Why as americans so afraid of everything and all ?? With all their guns.... Surely are a fearful patetic gang :-)
  13. No, thank him to get EVERYBODY out to vote :-)
  14. I dont know if americans understand how umpopular present administration has made them and their country in the rest of "democratic world". Witch is quite an achievement taking time into consideration. I remember the vietnam period, but this is worse, deeper. Guess its because we finally see so many americans have proved a total absense of care for morals, etics, law and dignity by electing this draftdogding, corrupt, cheating thief and liar as their " best man"...
  15. Denmark lost , pro capita, just as many soldiers in afganistan as us, helping them out, without asking for any payment. This is donnie diapers wsy saying "thanks", a word not in his vocabulary. Luckily europeans and canada are giving denmark their support, hopefully also military if needed. But wonders-where are congress?? <deleted>ting their pants ??
  16. If Greenland should not be Danish or independent, it should be Norwegian. Both Iceland and Greenland was norwegian centuries ago, before an "unfortuneate marriage" resulted in a union between the 2 countries, lasting 400 years. Sk donnie diaper can f... off, and consentrate on solving diversions in "beacon of liberty" !!!
  17. And cambodia is the aggressive part ?? Getting more and more difficult to belive..
  18. "Retaken" ??? So this land has then first been "taken" by cambodia. Thailand never say when "thai soil is taken" by cambodia. So-was it ladt week -or maybe 150 years ago ? Please clarify.......
  19. Guess you can ask most americans and they will swop with "donnie diaper " any day and maybe give some land as sin sod 😉 But, being serious norwegian, our king, crown prince is modest and very popular and respected. Its constitutional monarcy with "not much" real power (said resign rather give in to nazis example of his power). He is above party policy, with a president its different.
  20. Maybe give same offer to foreigners staying in thailand ??
  21. T I T T (this is thai temper) A new sore thai emerging -again. Thais must be the most "easily offended" people on this planet 🙂
  22. What "american and internstional laws" say its legal to kill defenseless people swimming in the sea. Its on accurate same levels as japanese did to allied seamen, sailors and soldiers during ww2, and that wasnt "directly popular"!
  23. Isnt there more important issues to engage in at the moment ??? 🙂
  24. Of couse he is. And a " friendly" one is more dangerous....
