Agree, and tolerate the USA, because of all the $$$ it receives.

Nobody is going to be rocking the trading boat, with any country that it needs. Just 'What if' scenarios that never happen. 'What if' CN stops trade with USA ? Auto industry comes to a grinding halt (remember covid), and the grid would take quite a hit also. What's sold in the USA that isn't made in CN, whole or in part ? Or other countries that trade with the USA, that use raw materials, controlled by CN. You know, those rare elements, natural resources. The world is safe. One man didn't ruin it during the last administration, and he's only here for more years.

What's laughable ? USA will not jeopardies losing use of Thai's military bases.

I'd actually welcome that

Nope, just stating the obvious. I hope TH & USA relations stay as is, or even better, get strained a bit, as the last I want, is a Thai FTA with the USA. Would mean nothing but higher prices in TH.

As a 'Partner Country', so far. Even if TH joined full on, they would still be 'hands off' for more than a few years. Not like either country needs each other.

You're ignorance shines. Yearly Cobra Gold, along with use of air & navel bases.

Edit: now is see the 100% ... IF, they create or accept another currency other than USD.... ... "Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs" ...

No worries there, as I color within the lines.

A little less paperwork, no photos, and no waiting for approval (30 days), and saves a return trip to Imm Office, 100 kms away.

Knocking on 25 years, and long term '0 non' visa have been flawless for myself. Used marriage, support of Thai national (orphan ish kid), retirement, marriage, retirement. Retirement now, for less paperwork than marriage, and instant approval. Never a major issues, and do my 90 day pulse checks online now, since they sorted out the site, and works nicely.

Unless he jumped the Q for training, then it's all a bit irrelevant. 15 yrs in service, so a bit hard to speculate any Q jumping for DEI. Reading not really a 'training' flight, just a 'stay current' flight, and probably quite standard to keep everyone experienced. I'm anti DEI, but your implied statement has no basis of fact and just silly.

Wife made a batch of comfort food, pork stew. No different then if in USA, and having a batch of something (stew, soup) in frig, when feeling lazy in 'chilly' weather. One minute in microwave, and lunch or dinner is ready. Hot weather, leftover or deli meats & cheese always available to be wrapped, or put between a couple slices or in a roll, when feeling lazing and not wanting to heat up the kitchen.

Somebody needs a hobby News Flash ... NFL (all sports) and WWF, not much different, 'fixed' entertainment, not sports. IMHO

48% is a minority, and per specially interest group, a much smaller minority. Top one group, of any, sub group, might be near 20%, if that. Hispanics, probably top, at 19.5% as of 2023. Stop using labels ...

I don't any people, straight, gay, bi, that support the silliness that has evolved over the woke, pride, look at me behavior. If anything, embarrassed by it, and avoid any association with it.

Never let the facts get in the way of your BS ...

I'm 100% Vegan ... ... some we grow, only organic of course ... some we buy from the market ... some we buy already processed, via the animals meat that we eat

Let me guess ... you think the crash was Trump's fault

You have friends ? What's that like ?

Don't know what y'all are crying about. As that looks like a really good 5 yr run, and y'all should hope it repeats for the next 5 years, or at least holds where it is Actually, the past 15 yrs has been very good for the AUD against the THB

Using Trump as click bait for Thai taxing / TRD, is about the silliest way to get anyone to watch, except Trump haters. Who probably wouldn't have the intelligence to understand any of the content, if any of it was relevant to TRD.

If locals demand action (doubtful) then they could simply set up CCTV, and send to PoPo. I know if I live in Bangkok, I'd live for free, with a camera set up to get photos of folks driving on the sidewalk. Talk about an easy money maker, better than the stock market Imm would probably ask for a work permit and TRD would be taxing all that extra income 🥵

Very nice, THANKS More post like this and AN would actually be enjoyable to read, instead of ... why do I bother sifting though hours of posts, just for 5 interesting ones. @Bangkok Black No advice, but seems you'll need to keep G-translate handy. And please do a follow up trip report, let us know your thoughts & experience. So much hate from people that probably have no experience of what they post. Must think 'AN' forum is post 'Anything Negative' forum.
