  1. Just spent a fre days in BKK the place is quite empty. Nothing like its former self. Speaking to many Taxi drives over the last few days and they all say the same “niup” quite no westerners no tourists.
  2. A sort of Apartheid, and we all know about that. Or does it not count when ethnicity is involved? racism, all the same, no matter how you want to cut the cloth, the result is the same.
  3. Hi all a little help with the Visa this time I'm married to a Thai national and in the past had no problem getting a Visa for three months however on this application I seem to have hit a dead end I am in the UK and made my application for my NON Imigration O Visa to visit my wife's family and stay with them for three months, but The Thai Embassy in London returned Visa and said they want original copies of my wife's and I marriage certificate and a bank statement showing a balance of £1000, although my stament showed more than enough money in an out over £3000 at the time it didn't show a balance of 1000 I was unable to get a current balance with my name and address on it from the HSBC bank, I cant get end of month stament but to asI used to on the App showing the current balance with my name on it worked on this with the bank for 3 days to no avail. All I could get was a printout with my name on it showing more than £1000 funds. I have a Credit Card showing plenty of funds available with nothing owing. All these are returned to the Thai embassy in London. and since then I've heard nothing for two weeks now we have constantly contacted them by phone on the occasion that we do get through they say ring back in 2 o'clock but nobody answers the phone, trying to email them we get the response of the email is full we leave in a week I'm unable to get my 90 day Visa as I always have done for the last 20 years any advice on this. We have rung them every day for the last week, with no answer 2 pm to 4.30 pm.. What are my options? Cheers
  4. Go get 'em, Rover. Old Andrew is being stoned to death. Way to go, people. The old chap has done little if not far less than the average monger in Pattaya. I have little time for the Royals these days; however, Andrew is the distraction. He has been thrown under the bus, sacrificed for want of a better word. The Epstein List is what needs to come out. All the elite are in it, big money and power there, all covered up. From Haiti to Romania and Ukraine, the show goes on, and the a*ch** flows. Andrew is the dumb fall guy, heads up.
  5. Doubt they will get more tourists the way the visa application is going. I applied for an O visa for 90 days, married to a Thai, with property both in Thailand and the UK. It was sent back not enough funds in the Bank. Although the cash flow in my account is many times more than the required £1000, the balance at the time of the screenshot was under the required amount. Even though the numbers showed the cash flow. My Marriage certificate, original, Thai document, had some issues and one or two other things my good lady will sort out. Never had this before, always have given the same details for the last 20 years without a hitch. But now multiple problems. Will be using BA as they had some reasonable prices. As to Norse, you have to pay extra for baggage and seat allocation, so yes, cheap, but with a family, the price soon goes up. EVA and Thai have had some good prices for direct witch I now prefer from London. Though from Manchester Etihad and Gulf, and very good if you don't mind the stop. I just hate the ducking arrogance of the strip search in the Arab states. They stripped me to my pants every time they say get your clothes on They have women about FFS. The steel plate in my back set them off.
  6. Beats me, they haven't isolated the first strain, how the duck can they isolate a variant? More fear mongering when thousands die from road deaths and loose cables in the street.Anyways what happened to the old flu we used to get?
  7. Typical Brits know everything the best at everything and the only one that can be racist now they have a camera they find a Paradise and they all have a point of view with pink hair pinky rings through there noses and holier than thou attitude they know best as the saying goes take the beam out of your eye before you take the splinter out of the other, it seems in recent years since the advent of the Internet and the smart phone everybody has an opinion no more so than the Brit. What should I say, like it's just their opinion that counts. YouTube is full of people out of Europe taking photos of Thailand with an opinion, It was only a matter of time before the BBC jumped on the bandwagon of BS. Thailand is Thailand it is not Britain it is not Western Europe, when in Rome do as the Romans do, not as the Brits do. Things go off in the west in Europe and in Britain far far worse than what goes off in Thailand it's just a lot more covert a lot more sneaky a lot more hidden, but the result is the same. In Thailand at least they're honest they say no money no honey, in England they don't say that they just take you to the cleaners. And offer nothing in return, or very little. In Thailand people are proud to have a national identity that is not the case in the UK people have a little respect for their own country and giving it away and now looking to demonise Thailand. We don't want Thailand to be like Britain we want Thailand to be Thailand that's why we come here if you're not happy go back stay away shut your videos off stay away. I feel half the problem now is experts here wanting to live here and the only way they can make a living is by videoing day-to-day life in Thailand and putting their own connotation to it their own twist to the story. I live in Rotherham my wife is from Thailand we seldom see a white person walked past the door thousands of young girls being molested and it still goes on local being a second-class citizen in their own country and the BBC has got the audacity the cheek to make a film about Thailand what goes off in Rotherham would never be going off in Thailand the people would not allow it. They want the money from the documentary from the BBC then cry I didnt know what they would do with my words BS you took the money you all made the problem with your big mouths and are ruining South East Asia. One by one the Islands are being ruined. When I frist came here in the early 90s it was a paradise now some places are a a hellhole. heads up
  8. This seems to be a trend running ones mouth off about Thailand, some using it generate income in order to stay.
  9. Do not stop keep going unless you have to. Stopping will not help just make it worse. Blow the hooters and I have horns on the bike, They work, when in this situation. Let them know then open the throttle. Stopping you lose. Ex wife taught me never stop, you will get shot. Even if you are wright/wrong go to the police.
  10. It took me two days a stay over for the O visa. They do have agents that can speed it up, but usually two days
  11. I think if you did your research, you would find that the contrary, more will pass on from the Gene Therapy mRNA than from the Gain of function COVID that was produced in a Western Lab, and diagnosed with the Kerry Mullis PCR test. run at 45 cycles rather than 25, recommended by Dr Mullis, who said, " You can find anything anyone with a PCR test. With respect. My son died 3 weeks after his 3 jab Healthy 40 year old "Myocarditis". AstraZeneca pulled it due to it causing heart failure. It is due to the gullible in society that things will get worse. And yes it was a scamdemic 100% wear a mask with holes in it 400 times larger than any known Virus. Stand outside a shop only to go in a breathe the Air that has been circulating for the last week due to the cost of reheating. The list is endless LOL and you are safe in a Bub if your group is less than what was it 7 FFS get real. Yes, a Blood Scamdemic of the first order with respect, of course
  12. Really, and you have done better that Trump? What an arrogant statement
  13. Some say the surge is connected to the jab, as it contains an HIV binder. Just a thought, silly me
