Having a heart condition and being a PM are two incompatible things.

The workload for a prime minister is supposed to be very onerous.

in 1968 I had my first encounter at the original Thermae, damn thats  long time ago

 

Tell us more, please...I'm very curious about the good old times!

I don't see corruption/bribery as 'the problem', neither here nor in any other country.

As long as the money coming from it is circulating in the economy, everybody will benefit.

In the West, fighting corruption and tax evasion is just an excuse to bring on someone's agenda.

Land of alcoholics is enough.

No need for Land of potheads.

One thing is for sure: I've never seen so many young people (falang) collapsing on the floor clearly because of drugs/alcohol mix and abuse.

Well done Thailand!

Why do all these dicxheads come to Thailand and start criticize the country on Youtube?

Why don't they stay home and try to save their <deleted> up western country instead?

Thailand is full of weirdos falang. Stop paying attention to them and you'll live a better life.

It isn't just Thailand, it's happening everywhere.

In the West we are in a permanent emergency/crisis (covid, war, climate). People are scared and getting poorer (the middle class is being destroyed).

Thailand has been affected by the covid pandemic only and some inflation due to covid and the war. But I'd say that the West is in a much worse condition. Economically and socially.

I find the people here to still be friendly and smiling, but less than before. The occasional 'hate you look' didn't happen before. And they are direct on money more than before.

I wouldn't do it. Lots of medicines are made in India today but I'd consider an alternative if available, I don't mind if more expensive.

You clearly had to  join the BlackRock/WEF ESG blackmail.

Defund and abolish the UN

Sorry to say but with your history none of the embassy around Thailand will be easy for you.

I am afraid that you did not find a reputable agent who could have helped you, if you still have time left then follow this way. Usually good reputable schools can also help with in-country visa conversion, but it seems you failed here as well. Maybe you did not organize your stay in Thailand that good, and now you are in a difficult situation. If you can, take your gf with you and spend 6 months in Vietnam.

I suppose that for land/air entries you mean visa exempt entry by land and at the airport.

You're allowed two visa exempt entries by land per calendar year.

There's no limit on visa exempt entry by flying.

With a visa exempt entry you'll be given 30 days permission to stay, that you can extend for additional 30 days at Immigration for 1900 baht.

Hope it helps.

I did it few days ago, works perfect.

Yes, and pigs can fly.

I think that 40+ Celsius in April is very normal in Thailand.

Your Thai sim operator most probably has a special deal you can buy on your thai sim card.

Have you turned your mobile on with the thai sim in?

Didn't you get any SMS from your thai operator?

I remember I did it with DTAC few years ago, it was a good offer and no need to buy a Lao card.

Yes, correct.

You are on a METV.

Your last enter can also be extended for 30 day at Immigration for 1900 baht.

Thailand has been facing a decline in Western tourists for a decade now. There are a dozen good reasons why Westerners don't visit Thailand as much as they used to. I was recently in Phuket and I would estimate the population of foreigners was 40% Russian, 20% Arab, 20% Malaysian and Chinese, 15% Indian, and about 2% Westerners and a sprinkling of some others. It was a low end crowd. 

 

The sad truth is that Thailand is not doing anything to improve itself they are making absolutely no effort to tackle air quality environmental issues traffic congestion or any other problems plaguing the nation. It seems to be a combination of sloth lack of vision and extreme arrogance. 

Are you saying that the Russian, who I bet are more blond, taller and blue-eyed than you, aren't Westerners?

The members of the lowest Thai social ladder can usually be found in the bars.
