Revised posting. So-called democratically elected (populist) premier. Turned out to be dumber than previous military dictator. Always boasting more than they really can do(mostly for his short-lived approval rate on SNS). It can get Thai public services into big mess. Foreign income already taxed in the country of its origin, cannot be taxed(by tax treaty) again elsewhere. Increased application for foreigners' Tax ID number will stress up Thai tax department(undoubtfully). Creating so much of the needless new workload for Nothing. It reminds me of one thing. During the period of previous military regime, they once declared that foreigners also must report even their short term domestic travel(temporary trip other than the Change of Usual Place of Residence) in their TM30 things. But it was eventually dropped; simply unenforceable. After that, we only need to make a TM30 report when we: 1-Return to Thailand from abroad. 2-Change our usual place of address. Just like prescribed by laws in the first place.

Do you have any reading problems of English sentences? I never said TM30 itself was dropped. Read carefully enough. And post your comment after that.

Did you read the text carefully enough? I simply quoted some fact in the past. TM 30 report is needed when you came back to Thailand from abroad. Also for when non-Thais change their Usual Place of Residence. But for a short while during the previous regime, Ex-General premier tried to check out foreigners' short term domestic trip in TM30. For a short while, he said temporary trip within the kingdom also must be reported(when aliens come back to their Recorded Address. But that demand (re: short term in-Thailand trips)was later dropped. As they noticed it was unpractical. That's what I meant in my posting. All clear now? I never said TM 30 was abolished though.

During the period of previous (army backed) administration, they once declared that foreigners must report even their domestic travel in TM30. But it was eventually dropped; simply unenforceable. Passport stamps shows aliens' travel records(to and from Thailand). But nothing showed up when they move around inside Thailand. They noticed they simply have no manpower or usable system to implement such a regulation.

I bet such a behavior is often triggered by Racism. The more idiotic they are, they are falsely convinced they are superior to the Orientals. While they are in the country of Asians, some westerners still showing no respect to their laws & people.

Felt so furious to see this news. Why the media covers up the face of that scumbag? That stinking face of that low-life better be open to public. So people can toss rocks at that thug when spotted.

＞Knife-wielding Portuguese lady refuses to pay taxi Don't call such a trashy thug LADY. Deserves to be called Bitch instead. Lady means a law-abiding decent polite female. A lady would not dodge taxi fare at knife point.

Better get them into BKK Hilton. So they won't end up as the looters in uniform in the neighboring country after they are back home.

Any violent dogs around you? Cheap, easy, and effective solution for you. Shoot them with this before they get close to you. Close enough for bites...

Difference in prices. One SAME destination. Our stomach and intestines don't discriminate LOL.

＞Toilet paper on the dinner table I can't see any problems in it. Toilet rolls are very versatile things. And their use is not limited to toileting alone. Thai food vendors often do their best to keep their price reasonable/affordable unless they are targeting short-term foreign tourists who know little about prices in this kingdom. And their efforts needs cost cutting. If you feel that much psychological resistance, you might be unfit for the (inexpensive) local Thai diner. Better eat somewhere else where you have to pay heaps more for your next meal...

Price of Pad Thai in my Chiang Mai neighborhood? B40 to 50. In some touristy diners, they often charge 80-90.

TAT says Songkran festival will be 3 weeks long this year(2024). Does that actually mean water throwing will be allowed April 1-21? Or it is only for 3 days as usual(4/13-15) in real term? Does anyone have detailed information about it? I usually stay put for 3 days(4/13-15) during the day as I don't want water splash on me. I live in Chiang Mai. There are always some idiots who splash filthy canal water(house sewerage flows into) with buckets. That is something I am keen to avoid.

You can make it by yourself and carry it around.　 I always carry it around when I am out and about. Not anti-personnel. Mostly against mean dogs I may encounter in the streets. I met so many of them by now.

Or inland fish farm. In order promote their growth.

You have 154 years to reach Minimum Safe Distance...

Certainly not a good idea. Thailand is the major exporter of the fresh produce. One mishap in Nuke Power Generation will ruin that whole sector; livelihood of the millions in agricultural industry.

Another trashy low-life alien. Thai Govt is generous enough to send that SOB io BKK Hilton.

A good word to describe the way Chinese Communist Party steals other countries' sovereignty. When the 3rd World borrowers cannot repay the money they owed, China technically annexes part of their territory (especially the infrastructure they build in their 'partner' nations). Just like a creditor takes away debtor's valuables.

> “mandating stricter enforcement of immigration laws”. They felt they(immigration police) must work harder than now? Sounds as if they were a kind of reluctant to enforce immigration laws rigidly by now.

Good to remember one thing: In China, information flow is strictly under the govt's control. Anything that does not suits the interest of the ruling Communist Party will be or can be covered up. Easy going might be nice. But if you blindly believe their press release is more reliable than the west, I call it rather naive.

You are also saying that you won't use that Chinese super express LOL.

Glad to know that these tenants survived such a disaster; demise of the Thai waterfront home...
