it is what it is

and locals

it's always worth watching the expressions on the faces of the loyal (deluded) lieutenants standing behind him when he launches into one of his rambling nonsensical diatribes. they know.

Targeted for being Jewish/Israeli . - any evidence to support this? Most probably instigated and filmed by an enemy . - any evidence to support this? Thais are usually non plussed about shoes being worn or removed - obviously you either don;t live in thailand, and/or are totally ignorant of thai culture/customs She also states that the restaurant owner was OK with shoes being worn . Its quite likely that she was responding to some unsavory abuse unrelated to the shoe issue . - any evidence to support this? An example of what Israelis have to deal with and a reason why they aren't always friendly to non Israelis - what goes around, comes around, my friend.

why don;t these people understand? it's easy; get the appropriate visa! i.e. don;t try to use tourist visas/visa exempt if you intend staying in thailand long term, you're not a tourist, one more time, get the appropriate visa and you won;t have any issues. evidence, i've been in and around thailand 25 odd years, never had an issue with an IO, male or female, because, guess what? i've always had the appropriate visa. it' not rocket science.

hardly anyone i know has a tattoo, but then i don't hang out with the low class, low educated, or anyone involved in the sex industry.

it means; any excuse for a thai bash.

too many people feel entitled to stay in thailand, they use tourist visa exempt entry to stay here long term i.e. they are not tourists. obtain the appropriate visa for your status in the country and you'll have no problems, try to misuse the visa system don't be surprised and/or complain if you do have problems. is this difficult to understand? regarding female IOs, i've never had any problem, of issue, with any IO, male or female, but then i have the appropriate visa for my entry to, and time in, the country.

when you've been here longer you'll realise you don't need a work permit to open a bank account, and if one bank says no simply walk to the one next door. worked for me.

i guess you're living in thailand? how about a bit of respect, not to mention common sense, and take the time to learn thai instead of criticising and thai bashing?

yea, but you guys voted for him, everyone else in the world seemed to know what what was in store.

calm down citizens, it's just a little pain before america is great again and you're all much better off than you were before. trust me guys.

agree, let's separate 'tourists' from others who are using tourist entry to stay long term in thailand, they are not tourists, they are abusing the system, and consequently making things difficult for those of us with the appropriate paperwork for our time here. i'm all for tightening up visas and effective monitoring and enforcement by immigration and the RTP, it will make things better for us genuine folk.

yea, and i can remember hijacked passenger airlines siting on runways, special forces storming them, and often a loss of passenger life, and then there's lockerbie...

true enough, even 'reputable' airlines, my excitement at having a usb socket is quickly extinguished when it refuses to work. why do they bother installing them?

if you're going to live illegally then don;t draw attention to yourself. the same applies to getting tattoos, it's too easy to identify you. criminals are not always the brightest sparks.

probably too late in the day to change, i predict they will follow the supreme court ruling next year.

bigoted hypocrite. next.

visa rules change in every country, all the time. just look at the us...

do you understand what a flip flop is? did you understand the article? a review is what's happening.

Thailand is stuck in the past. genralised and inaccurate/ignorant comment.

I am driving my small car at 80-90 km/hr speed, outside city. please don't text and drive, that in itself is dangerous 🤣 on a serious note, i believe the dark film many drivers put on their car windows contributes to accidents, especially at night. my gf has 80% film on all her cars, i hate, and avoid whenever possible, being in the car with her at night, it is scary as so little can be seen through the windscreen

does the OP actually live in thailand? indeed, has he ever visited the place? if he does, or has, he clearly failed to grasp even the most basic behavior of people here. such cultural ignorance often comes from those spending all their time in bars, then spouting about a thailand they have never experienced, usually in a negative way.

AI is amazing, very powerful, use if for post processing photos, as google on steroids, or basically as a personal assistant.

why do you care? get a life.

i believe under thai law a lack of pointing will always lead to a not guilty verdict.
