You are not wrong but you need to read between the lines. I know that I'm not wrong. This thread and my comment referred only to nonsense about banned, over-taxed oranges, not reading between the lines. You can do that if you want to derail the topic.

What was described in the OP was not "corruption", it was a one-off that happened at one station and the, inappropriately applied, but legitimate fee was being refunded.

You don't know squat. Tourism is a huge driving force. But it is not Thailand's main industry as claimed by the poster to whom I specifically responded. Seems that I actually do know quite a bit of "squat".

"Imagine if Thailand opened up to imports without high taxes or banning certain products". Imagine if posters knew what they were talking about before posting. What "high import duty rates" are oranges subject to and which oranges are banned? Here's a hint...there aren't any high rates and there aren't any varieties that are banned.

What is your rationale for that? He, as an importer buying an item that is subject to import restrictions, does not have to abide by those import regulations just because he'd be buying from Amazon? How does that work?

It is not illegal, importers just have to comply with import regulations.

Tourism is not Thailand's main industry!

Got anything specific and accurate that you can quote that backs that up?

No, he is not "the police", he is Deputy PM and Interior Minister.

No one has proposed "closing the nightlife", they are, though, clamping down on illegal nightlife venues such as the Pathumthani pub that was consistently open, illegally, until the morning that probably never has any tourists as customers. Which parts of the nightlife are you asserting is being closed?

How about specifying what "illegality" the current government is involved in?

What's the relevance of the number of posts and what makes it so amusing?

No issues, at all, using Lazada with Brave.

Don't suppose you've got anything specific and empirical to support that nonsensical claim, have you?

Men with balls, they're not girls!

Yes, why not? Do you not see a difference between thieving LB street brasses and a girl who can easily be identified, working in a Soi 6 bar who isn't robbing passers-by?

Are the vice units not permitted to target certain categories of street prostitutes in the US? Who would ever complain about that?

Proper English language on all parts of the app, including menus, and charges less than those of the established apps otherwise there is no point.

I think you'll find that the Hustlers in Pattaya on 3rd Road (or the one I am aware of at the top of Lengkee) has only 2 tables - or are you referring to somewhere else? I thought that you were referring to Hustlers in Bangkok.

Snooker, pool, darts, dominoes, snakes and ladders, games for the overweight unfit brigade. Which bars have more "energetic" facilities for the fit, weight-conscious brigade?

Have you been in there? About how many pool tables are there? Eleven.

Because they're beer bars!

In the organised leagues all the bars in the league play to the same rules.

To be precise, my account was credited the stolen amount, after the merchant credited my bank. I know, hence my comment!

The temperature was 113° in the white car and 130° in the black car. You think that makes the white car a better choice because 113° is comfortable and 130° is not?! The difference after an hour of aircon was insignificant, also, at 80° and 90°.
