Did you try to set up a VPN in China during the CCP congress?

Deport the criminal Swiss man stealing jobs from tuk-tuk drivers!

First, you make it difficult to reach unapproved sites, necessitating a VPN. Then you discourage use of VPN's and prohibit advertising thereof. Not illegal, just hard to find and maintain. Then you block search terms for VPN's and workarounds from the approved search engines. Then of course you block the official, and mirror, VPN download sites. And then you disrupt connections to the VPN's external server locations, either block completely or throttle to a slow crawl. It's a constant game of VPN's adding servers and mirror sites, and the government adding more bricks to the great firewall. Not always as easy as sending an email. Even with constant upgrades and patches and new servers, the VPN's can't manage to keep up with the new tricks during party congresses. So that's a couple weeks a year that it's nearly impossible to use your already installed and running VPN.

It's not about blocking the sites completely, as the overlords understand that is impossible. There will always be a way to circumvent the restrictions. The idea is to make it so frustrating that most people will not bother, and will simply take the path of least resistance. It's not illegal, nor prohibited. It's so frustrating as to not be worth the effort.

Crackdown on foreign criminals Does this mean criminal activity is a reserved occupation?

Yes, you can use a VPN. They are not illegal, but you need to have the app downloaded into your phone before arriving in China. I used ExpressVPN for years in China, both on cellphone and laptop.

No, that is not possible. You must go into the branch with your passbook to withdraw from a Bangkok Bank fixed account.

Wai not? Them's the rules. Unless going to a neighboring country where the limit is 2m baht, according to the Wise link above

Aren't some (all?) offices requiring a TM-30 to extend a visa waiver?

Take 500K Thai baht out? No.

Oh, no! And he was getting so close to finding the real killer, too! Guess now we'll never know whodunnit.

Hub of stating the obvious.

Enraged netizen driving his pickup on the beach, stops to get out and film a dirty foreigner riding his motorcycle on the beach. But be careful where you stand! Don't disturb all those automobile tire tracks on the beach. Amazing.

No problem, you just need your new bank info to add yourself as a recipient.

Bribe? I don't think so. A bribe would be given to the authorities to quietly drop the case. A cash offer of financial compensation to the alleged victim is called an "out of court settlement."

At this point it could be Bill Shatner's spoken word rendition of "Yankee Doodle Dandy". This one's from '78, cover of an Elton John song, so correct era and lifestyle.

This is the disco you are searching for........

Yes, you screwed up. Simple solution. Just pay the extra $80 to the agent.

Sorry about that! I was responding to a poster who claimed Chinese headlines would not read the same. I posted the actual headline with the English translation, plus a link to the source so that readers could check my work. I didn't wanna just say "nuh-uh!"

Are you moving the SIM card from old to new phone?

Shirley, you can find a lovely, young local lass willing to learn the exquisite art of baking beans. Teach her how, and she can sell via Facebook to all the old foreign farts on AN.

I've got four savings accounts at Bangkok Bank, two fixed accounts, and a mutual fund account. Open as many as you like.

Do you have the passport translation and MFA legalization you used for your marriage certificate? Yellow book took 20 minutes, no charge, issue pink ID also took 20 minutes, 60 baht.
