Maybe he was trying to do a border swim instead of a border run?

Due to ZERO planning, and the pouring of millions of tons of concrete, Pattaya is really just an enormous swimming pool (or toilet) with a tiny drain pipe.

I haven't been back to the USA in years and have no plans to ever return there.

Before doing anything internally and wasting
histhe country's money he should have a word with dementia Joe, as the US dollar is surging not because what Thailand is doing but due to Biden's insane throw away money policies. $ will be high for 18-24 months now, take the hit and the export gain. You start trying to keep up with Joe and Thailand will go broke.He should try having my pound - down both against the dollar AND the baht. Making the baht stronger due to one currency fluctuation is madness
If Biden is the reason that my US Dollar income has risen by nearly 20% this year I LOVE the guy. I'm hoping for 45-50 Baht to the Dollar.

This bridge will not be built in our or our children's lifetime. Just another pipe-dream idea from the people who work in the "hub" of pipe dreams.

They'll probably start the bridge as soon as they finish building the canal across the isthmus they began planning about 30 years ago.

My daughter sent me this pic she brought last week: $44 /oz in northern Ca. Legal
for me anything more than 20% thc is just to much
Thailand's prices will drop, Have heard from a few thta brought that it all smelled moldy, so might be last years harvest that was stored
BUT keep this in mindNew law will not cover recreational use of cannabis: House panel chairman
so stock up now
$44 dollars for 1 ounce. A very fair price, all things considered.

Or you can buy compressed rubbish for 100 per gram and high last about 1 hour. Not for me
Get real. At $20 US per gram that makes $560 per ounce! The most expensive grass in the world. The current extortionate prices will drop dramatically in the next year. In Canada and the US you can now buy an ounce of high quality smoke for $125.

Legalization in Thailand is a massive invitation to drug traffickers from around the planet to get involved. Every criminal organization from gangs to cartels are trying to figure out how to get in on the action in Thailand. Thai weed will be a game changer in the global black market for weed. The "good guys in bad guys out" scheme just got a whole lot more complicated ????
You are Soooo clueless I actually feel sorry for you.

If this kind of stupid story continues, "I was high on Ganja" might soon replace "My brakes failed" whenever a dump truck flattens a car.

This whole "dual pricing" thing is NOT unique to Thailand.

Thailand - The "Hub" of blaming someone/something else for your OWN failures. Amazing.

For what it's worth, I just received my email reminder, went to the site, filled in the info and it went swimmingly. Got approved a few days later.
My only concern if I grow too reliant on their reminders then the system burps and forgets to remind me.
Get a small paper calendar, mark important dates, and stick it on your refrigerator. It's worked for me for decades, through many "system burps".

Certainly thai citizens should expect something beneficial from this potentially massive (6 billion baht in 2023 from 20 m tourists) government collection of fees?
Or are you suggesting it will be 100% embezzled?
What I am saying is that a tourist shouldn't expect any kind of massive help with their hospital bills, should they get injured, for $10. Think about it.

What you are failing to take into account is that those of us who live here will be treated as tourists, so what benefit do we get? There is no indication that those on non immigrant visas etc will be excluded from this, so what's your response to that?
Again, it is less than $10. No one should expect any meaningful benefit from it. And in the eyes of the government, everyone here (for a week or a decade) is a "visitor".

Why is TH not entitled to do the same?
Exactly! Anyone who bitches about a lousy 300 Baht entry fee can just stay home <deleted>. MANY countries require some form of fee from foreign visitors, in most cases a lot more than 300 Baht.

She ran over a motorcyclist and then fled the scene. At that point she was a criminal. The cops should have broken a window on her hi-so benz and dragged her ass out. The 5-hour wait was probably because she said "do you know who I am?"
