    Medium well please.

    Buh-bye @Dan O, thanks for the kind words. Now make sure you have a simply awesome life.

    Anyway, I could use their 777's if they start doing the US west coast. I think the east coast will probably be a tad too far for that old bird but well within the capabilities of their A350's.

    The non-stop LAX economy was the most comfortable 'back of the bus' service I ever experienced. The seat pitch was increased to 36" so that even with 80% pax load, the weight distribution was maintained with the added bonus that Coach always looked full.

    They also served BKK - LAX non-stop, but it was unprofitable because of the A340-500 and fuel costs, nothing to do with grifters. It was a comfortable service, but pax loads were limited to 80% due to expensive fuel needed for the four-burner. Not many A340 flying any more, maybe Lufthansa still does, but Thai have been trying to sell their half-a-dozen since forever.

    I think that someone's been messing with Google gemini.

    But the tourist doesn't know that.

    And to think that some forum members think that some forum members are like this.

    Even the LTR holders parking their bus here for 180 days or more?

    Yes. Foreigners need to file a W8, if applicable.

    I guess she has a 100k debt that's way overdue. She's not a teacher is she? Government worker maybe? They're all riddled with debt as they get easy loan approval but end up living well beyond their means before thy can cash out with their pensions on retirement.

    So said the man offering not only one but two stiff middle fingers to the grammar police.

    Backfire? Usually it comes prematurely in their hands.

    Just in from the nanny state, replete with 'protect their children' for good measure... OMG!... Hold on, they could be Palestinian chidren!!! It doesn't really matter which branch of what restauarant chain this one-off event occured. Panties gotta bunch. Thailand's abuse of their draconian defamation laws goes way, way deeper than rubbish kitchen hygiene.
  17. NanLaew
    Well you started it.

    Meanwhile, many western chip developers and manufacturers have factories in China. It has already gone way, way beyond fake designer clothing and domestic applicances.

    Very good reading, thanks.

    So a higher quality, western-style construction that will be reliably producing Russian oil and gas until the cows come home. If they are anything like the Chinese, where I lived and worked for 8 years, the Russians will have copied any technology needed to keep pumping. They probably have legions of Chinese doing this for them already.

    Sorry @mikebike, struggling to see the relevance here. Can you expand that opinion a wee bit?
  22. NanLaew
    You do remember how a few Met police officers variously faced derision or condemnation after they chose to "take the knee" at BLM demonstrations. Silly buggers.
  23. NanLaew
    Yes, told. That's what british union "workplace initiatives" are all about. Union members being told what to do by their union. Be it "work to rule" or "overtime bans" or wearing fancy dress to goad your employer to fit a politically driven and, in this instance, a transparently woke narrative.
  24. NanLaew
    Because it's not their job to produce such a granular list for public consumption? Anyway, they give the raw data to TAT and they cherry-pick and massage the numbers to fit their part of the government's agenda. In this way, relevant factual data is obscured by what they want people to believe, ie. the Chinese are Thailand's saviours.

    No hole here @Dan O, none whatsoever. Despite being incorrect, if you think that your interpretation of the meaning of "expat" fits the discussion, that's entirely up to you and I'm happy to leave you in your world of low comprehension. And please don't preach to anyone about reading the whole thread either. It's not a good look. Especially when the OP is not about taxation.
