  1. it is what it is
    yea, this caught me out the last time i visited singapore, possibly the airline could have mentioned it and i'd have sorted before i arrived. it was time consuming and fiddly to complete on arrival but helpful staff were on hand. all well and good, except there will be considerably more people arriving in thailand than singapore, this really needs to be well planned and appropriately resourced.
  2. it is what it is
    yea i know. however, my gf has 80% dark film on her car windows - on all her cars, and frankly it's scary being in the car with her at night, she's a decent driver, but what good is that if she can;t see where she's going!
  3. it is what it is
    get a friend to pick you up, take the bus
  4. it is what it is
    the forms usually specify who is eligible to sign as witness, and yes family members are usually not permitted, what do the witnessing instructions on the form state? i'd suggest following them...
  5. it is what it is
    ignoring the drunk idiot, the whole environment, the individuals, the atmosphere just looks awful, some enjoy it i guess...
  6. it is what it is
    no one thinks that, apart from the ignorant, because thailand isn't a third world country
  7. it is what it is
    sorry to pop your thai bashing bubble, but thailand is not a third world country - check the definition for yourself. thailand has an upper-middle income economy having made significant progress in economic and social development over the past few decades

    it was reported in the uk press he was unemployed
  10. it is what it is
    it's actually far more common than you think for someone to go missing, in the uk around 170,000 people are reported missing every year, that about one every 90 seconds - and those are only the reported ones. some people just want to disappear.
  11. it is what it is
    there's always one...
  12. it is what it is
    yea bangkok is finally growing up, public transport congestion is nothing new as can be seen in capital cities the world over. indeed, the govt need to introduce a ULEZ zone, they really need to do something constructive to counter the increasing pollution problem.
  13. it is what it is
    italians and indians slapping each other, so?
  14. it is what it is
    10k handout to poor people, if used in the right way, can make a lot of difference. to make a real difference capital investment is needed, not populist sticking plaster schemes that deliver short term and questionable benefit.
  15. it is what it is
    don't waste your money, find a partner you can trust
  16. it is what it is
    WTF !! these people are brain dead absolutely these people? please don;t negatively generalise. my gf is thai, she has a bachelor degree, two master degrees two and two doctorates, she owns 7 properties, 4 cars and runs a portfolio of successful companies, brain dead? i don;t think so. stop hanging out with the low class, low educated and you'll be amazed at how amazing thais and thailand can be.
  17. it is what it is
    i doubt very much this was purely down to cannabis
  18. it is what it is
    yea, would be my suggestion, also very touristy, there simply insn't an arts scene here similar to what you'd find in other countries. more's the pity.
  19. it is what it is
    i thought it ironic that in his inauguration speech he said he would make other countries would respect the usa. sorry mate, other countries know a) you're an out and out self serving bully and liar, and b) americans are idiots for electing you. zero respect there.
  20. it is what it is
    yea, they're off to a bad start with that one, not going to happen.
  21. it is what it is
    for sure possible, but depends on your expectations/lifestyle, everyone to their own, but i'd rather be back home than have to live here an a pittance.
  22. it is what it is
    must be something about you. i've never had an issue with a 7/11 or, in fact, any shop in thailand. though i can say 7/11s have on occasion given me too much change, and been thankful when i pointed this out
  23. it is what it is
    i paid voluntary class 3 and qualified for a full pension long before i'm due to retire. the best investment anyone can make, absolute no brainer
  24. it is what it is
    Id
  25. it is what it is
    They start doing s**t like that its bye bye Thailand. no problem, up to you Furthermore, if they think they have any authority to tax my foreign pension I will tell em where to shove it. good luck with that. i bet they're quaking in their boots
