Thailand will need to be prepared to pay millions in ransom. I couldn't imagine the Thai government doing that.

It's almost time for us to break out the air purifiers as well. We use them at night in the bedrooms. If your going to live in South East Asia, air purifiers are a good investment.

Definitely a last resort airline to travel on. It's worth paying a little extra to fly another airline than AirAsia and the hassles that commonly occurs and the lack (non-existent) customer support support.

It isn't just a Thailand problem. It's all of South East Asia and beyond. It's particularly bad in Chiang Mai because of its geography.

Anutin with under 3% approval ratings and a complete idiot there's no wonder a criminal and snakeoil salesman like Thatskin would endorse him. Everyone is aware that this is just another unelected government and what's running the country is now is no better than a mafia.

What a horrible experience. I've always hated Thai immigration and border officials for there downright cr**py hostile attitude.

You don't know what your jabbering on about. Tell that to the millions of Thais and falangs who visit Temples year around.

Inside a temple. Outside shorts and sandals are common place. So is sitting around like these girls are doing.

Another blowhard conservative.

I agreed, like 99 % of the other Thai's reading the news of the world on Facebook. Girls are outside the temple wearing shorts on a hazy,hot, polluted typical day in Chiang Mai. Probably dozens of others doing the same.

Stirring up what? The unelected Senate and the legacy of the corrupt Junta are shamelessly still in charge. The more things change, the more they stay the same. This couldn't be more adept a saying than anything in Thailand.

Good thing. Definitely ridiculously high tariffs. It's not right when your cheap bottle of wine costs more than the entire dinner.

Nothing new here. Fatties head to Africa while there male counterparts usually head to Asia. Guys get the better deal in my opinion.

Traveling the Mittihap highway during holidays or weekends is always a struggle. You've got only two lanes with slow trucks and breakdowns. Exhausting!

Good to know. How'd u like Vietnam. Definitely on my bucket list.

They never said that. Perhaps you should stop posting complete bu** s**t.

7 years, I've never seen a cop in our village, let alone a tough one. Lots of drunks though. Plenty of drunk driving. Never changes. Always a few killed or maimed on motorcycles during festive period. Safer, if possible, to stay home.

Sometimes you'll get away with it. I've even showed them my library card and they just say OK, and let me pass through.

I've always found Agoda cheap for an emergency booking. I've never experienced high commission rates. Hotels.com I've experienced huge booking fees as your experiencing on Agoda. In the end it's usually better to book directly with the hotel. Using Agoda.co, Booking.com,etc as just a guide.

Anything and everything should be tossed into the trash heap that's related to the junta. .... Including the Senate, former MP's, especially the "cowtow idiot extrordinaire" Anutin. A bunch lifetime thugs who've bankrupted the nation.

CC, Visa accepted. My visa from Chase uses the latest and best currency rate. Easy as can be. Flew in and just walked passed immigration after flashing the Visa, 5 minute from plane to Taxi. Great city. Totally enjoyed myself.. Thailand could definitely learn a thing or two from Cambodias e-Visa procedure. Enjoy your trip.

Change your YouTube password. Same thing happens a lot with premium Spotify. People get your premium passwords online.

There in lies the glaring problem with Thailand's retarded politics. Everyone, but greedy Thai politicians with financial ties to the horrific military junta, want these military dictators either arrested or hanged. Thailand's continued support for them is horrific at best. Hopefully they'll be strung up by there necks sooner than later and the military downsized and put on a short leash, just as should happen in Thailand.

It was destroyed long ago. If your not a total flunkie your better off renting a car before arrival at the airport. For short stints on your stay rent a scooter as well for short explorations. The money saved on taxis and all the hassle taxis initiate it'll pay for itself!

Many Thai companies already do that. 150 baht a day for Myanmar or Lao labor. 300-400 for Thai. The more "educated" usually land jobs at 7/11 or other Sales clerk position. Most descent jobs you'll need to bribe someone to get, no education necessary.
