How to wreck your global welcoming reputation by being a pack of corrupt, litigious, face-saving imbeciles. 

The pigs that will fly in these fantasy millions are all fed and ready for take off.

One solution ... stop harboring the terrorist and report them to the police/army

 

Come together and stop living in fear.  Help the army rid the terrorist.  No quarter, no place to hide, make it dangerous to be terrorist.

 

They are extremist, and don't only attack military targets, or non Muslims.  They kill anyone, any religion, Muslims included, school kids, teachers, doctors, vendors/store owners (if doing business on Friday) as I read about that one, and just silly, religious fanatics.  

 

Spoils of war, history, get over it.  It's part of TH, accept or leave, rather go back to Malaysia.

How did that policy work for Rhodesia and South Africa? 

Yes, they have been ruined, but it's not an acceptable solution in the eyes of the world. 

I'm pro Israeli, against  Palestine, but it's not an acceptable solution in the eyes of the world. 

Also, may I kindly point out Malaysia side of the border makes Thailand look like a meth county!

M'sia side is clean, maintained, and civilized. 

Give back what you wrongly took, Thailand.

Every one else has had to, yet your elites think they're above the global consensus. 

They need a proverbial boot up the jacksie that lot.

There is no pattern discernible on when changes are made to Thailand Elite memberships. At the current time, individuals who are only interested in the Easy Access visa that comes with an Elite membership have two rational options: five years for 600,000 baht and 20 years for 1,000,000 baht. If you buy the five year membership, current rules allow to to upgrade later to the 20-year membership by paying the difference of 400,000 baht (a sweet deal, in my opinion, that might well be withdrawn in the future).

I'm seriously looking at this past 62 now, here are my reasons:

I may well not reach 82. When the visa expires. If I do, overstay will be the least of my worries!

The classic retirement visa was once a no brainer until it was "adjusted" now you're technically, robbed of B400,000 for life, if you want to keep it. 

And it simply can't stay at B800,000 forever, with inflation.

I'm surprised it's hasn't jumped already! 

Besides, because of seasoning every year, you even need more than that, I bring in B600,000 a year, to cover any emergency and just living costs until the extension "can't  touch your own cash" rule is over, then there are the re-entry ripoff fees too. 

And showing up at immigration every year, more grumpy and less patient with the groundhog day BS they put us through.

The only thing is, can you trust them to keep their word for twenty years? No legal comeback here if they do the dirty! 

All being fair, this would certainly make sense, and buggy rides at Swampy means I'd get to not need a leg amputated catching a plane. 

The irony lost on finding vile dead things in a "sauce" that always smells like vile dead things... 

And yet there she is reportedly "vomiting the taste away?" ????????‍♂️

He's got a number of ailments, although details are scant. He makes visits to the U.S. and the U.K. for treatments (public news) but very little is said about those ailments. I remember hearing about "angioplasty" and "stents", but that was years ago.

 

The public would probably be more accommodating if details were released, but I understand the need for privacy too. He was rumored to be quite the "bachelor" in his day.

 

 

So the big Thai nationalist doesn't trust the best Thai surgeons? 

Unless they're all overseas too?

Nevermind, his watches are fast winding down, there's only so much stenting they can do until it's off to the knackers yard with him! 

That old CP auntie figures she can buy her ticket to heaven, it's not even true teaching, just superstitious nonsense, and some Abbot now has a gleaming Fortuner in a Sparkly Saffron paint job.

No thought of having a modest send-off that Lord Buddha would appreciate, and donating the rest to people like these.  

34 year old Chinese national in a dodgy Bentley?

100% Princeling son of CCP Top Brass or a member of the "Black Societies".

One thing that China is on top of is it's Black Society (Triads are HK Macau and Taiwan based) the B.S. can nothing without severe blowback unless they have CCP blessing. Such as scamming foreigners.

For all we know and giving his age, he can be suffering from Narcolepsy that is a sleep disorder that makes people very drowsy during the day.

The CIA just recently guesstimated Kim Jong Il is about 160KG and likely has sleep apnea. 

I don't think they are worried enough about the sleeping watchman to care about his health at all. 

It's always fun to see him totter over, maybe one day they'll fail to steady him and then som nam na!  No sympathy for him or his poorly hidden malarkey.

Thai Rak Tatmadaw?

Being a UK citizen, the British Government advise "essential travel" only.

Thats it!

I'm getting my stamp done someplace else. 

So those in Chiang Mai doing a muti entry visit Thai family Visa run to Myanmar can forget about it? 

I'm not on the list of VOA countries. But that seems to be Air arrivals only, does anyone know what's happening up in Mae Sai/Tachileik this month? 

So it looks like a day flight to anywhere else is a better option. I'd rather spend the money than risk a disappearance, or even a wasted trip.

Only the paranoid survive!

I wonder how many tanks were moved from the central region to the border. Seems Thailand buys a lot of weapons but rarely puts then in areas where the border is in danger, preferring to use them for coups. 

They are very tight with the Burmese military, it's no secret.

You know its bad when the normally meek ASEAN group of nations collectively condemned the toothless dog and pony show in Pattaya last week that was supposed to mediate a way forward in Myanmar. The rest of AESEAN except the China-backed dictatorship in Cambodia distance themselves from the illegal regime.

These irrelevant old bootlicking blowhards coming out from under dead things is just proof of sheer desperation.

I wish this country could lurch into the 20th Century, so they can set their eyes on this Century ASAP! 

The law says if you're widowed from a Thai national, without dependent children, and you cant find another B400,000 to put into a bank account, for a retirement visa, you're going home alone after that marriage visa expires. 

 Nice and humane.

Mr. Anuchit, aged 54 the Porche driver. 

A rather unfortunate, if apt, name when rendered in English with a bit of imagination.

A case for jail time here, lets see if we ever get a follow up story.

Don't worry! There are 250 retired Generals sucking up public funds, and who knows what else besides, as they deny Thailand any hope of light at the end of the tunnel.

They will arrive on their white steeds to save the day! More subs, or maybe another useless military park, will be just what the doctor ordered!

They will still have the best private health care money can buy of course.

Nobody lives forever, billionaire Sumner Redstone died trying.

He was so deluded he even said he would never die!

And all those frozen guys are being scammed beyond the grave too.

If it ever does happen, I think their minds will have been wiped clean of all memories, language, identity, even how to toilet themselves. 

Won't that be a fun re-animation scenario? From master of the universe to adult baby!

Reminds me of the drunken old Priest Fr. Jack on "Father Ted".

Drink! <deleted>! Girls!"

Can you imagine such a great comedy about Monks here? 

Maybe a century from now...
