  1. I guess the takeaway from all this is that we do not have to shelter in place here in Bangkok. Will it be made clear to the Thai people that they do not have to panic buy their groceries? I hope so because I would hate to see a run on my Villa Market.

    I think this take over is the only way the navy is going to be able to buy their much coveted submarine fleet.

    In my humble opinion this will carry on the "Amazing Thailand' theme and allow for extreme tourism for a time. My mobile is blowing up with warnings for both the Philippines and Thailand from the US State Department with travel warnings regarding unfettered violence in both countries.

    Could this be a reaction to miss Thailand calling for the execution of a large percentage of her own people?

    This is Thailand.

  2. MY last new US passport was issued in Phnom Penh.

    My RETIREMENT extension was issued in Phuket,

    I went in and out of Thailand twice with my new passport ( they stamped me in and out on new passport) an extension stamped in the old passport, as u can only ( or so i was told) have your extension transfered to your new passport from where it was issued.

    Both times no problem.

    So I can travel with my new passport and use my old passport until I renew my Retirement Visa extension in September. My old passport contains a valid Retirement Visa extension and multiple entry permit.

  3. It's official. The old white expat vote is almost evenly split on which criminal to support. By support I mean whine and complain to no one in particular about circumstances they cannot control. Does posting an opinion about which criminal organization is better for Thailand improve anyone's quality of life? Are we not guests in Thailand? Did one Thai ask an old expat in a tank top and shorts how this country's business should be conducted? I guess you might say the hubris of may of the posts can be considered by some as entertainment. Sent from my ME172V using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    This is an international forum with the possibility of a debate of current political or social events.

    Or in ( I assume) your words: if you don't like it- go home!

    Spirited debate to be sure! But is it really debate or can you detect something else from a number of the posts?

    I respect many of the thought out measured opinions of several TV regulars. However some posts seem to embarrass the writer.

    I choose to live here and hope that I can be a positive influence and give back. So that said, I am home. Your pontificate on, "This is an international forum with the possibility of a debate of current political or social events", applies to me as well.

  4. I married 6 time in my younger days in America and have accomplished 6 successful divorces. I had a 24 month rule so through it all I saved my pension.20 years single, 12 in Thailand. I am not going to push my luck.

  5. I wish all Thais would realize that this whole idiotic episode is about who gets to control government contracts. Who would die for someone else's pockets? It's definitely not for the plight of freedom and democracy. Btw, the Democrat Party should have their use of the word 'democrat' stripped from them. They are just as bad.

    Why? Because they want a clean and non corrupt democratic system??

    You and your ilk remind me of my first memory of Christmas. Santa!!!!

    How incredibly naive you are. How sad.

  6. All well and good, but the order authorizing the police to use live rounds against the peaceful protesters came from the PM, and that is where the responsibility ultimately lies.

     

     I don't believe this has ever happened before in Thai history, the PM authorizing authorities to shoot with live rounds at peaceful protesters? Only 24 hours until retribution for her brutality is served.

    The members photograph says it all...
