Sure it's Thailand that is polluting the world with global climate change and of course the US, UK and Europe have totally all gone green and no fossil fuels anymore ? --yeah sure...go on.

Lot of noise was made for the LTR visa and long term stay granted to the categories of qualified of individuals. Besides the usual bureaucratic demands from different govt agencies, one of the LTR requests that can suddenly emerge from nowhere on a "case-to-case basis" is to provide a full year of bank statements translated if not in english. Rather an absurd and useless harassment in the LTR visa handling process. Why ? Because when such documents are not in english language, they ask for a full translation of the whole set of annual bank statements. This penalises all the qualified people from Europe with this harassment. A bank statement and mainly the numbers are universal language and any english speaking person can read the numbers should they be in german, danish or italian.... Translation also has a hefty price that thai translators that love to overcharge in Europe. The cost just to translate such a load of bank documents, makes it no point to go for the LTR visa in Thailand. Such requirements are absurd and discriminatory towards western european nations. Why can the agencies not be satisfied plainly with the translated tax returns that are official documents ? No wonder so many qualified retirees from Europe will chose to spend and buy property elsewhere then in Thailand with such absurd LTR requirements. The red tape is just not acceptable anymore considering how simple the whole process is in other Asian Nations or in the Indian Subcontinent. The LTR visa is definately is not worth the game.

The UN should rather go and preach in the US or UK with all their offshore oil rigs polluting the seas and mind their own business. Asia is just doing fine and does not need neither the UN or any other american run organisation.

With all the absurd rules just to scam foreigners, better of using Line or any wifi supported connections.

What about the europeans ? Most western european countries all have compulsory health insurance by law covering also abroad for all their citizens. Their retirees have good pensions and spending power also and most own homes in Thailand. Why do they not get at least 6 months visa free stay ? Totally absurd immigration bureaucracy in Thailand that is loosing good money for the country and giving visa free stay to the wrong people.

I spray dog repellant all over my home area. Available in most Home Pro. Very efficient. Costly but efficient. But definately would try one ultrasonic repellant but can it not also excite the dog and make it more fierce perhaps ?

What about the Piaggio Mp3 scooters with 3 wheels ? Far safer in the ruthless Thai roads. Pity the Piaggio network with reliable maintenance service is poor in many smaller but popular towns.

Throw the fag in jail.

A neighbour from France last month was complaining that the sinkflation was becomming a racket in France, and Paris was becomming a highly dangerous place, with shootings and stabbings daily - mainly due to cannabis drug feuds or abuse. Pity as Paris is beautiful but definately a city to avoid for the moment.

Never even heard of the bloke. She could have chosen somebody more well know in Asia.

Masks need to be compulsory in public spaces like the BTS, taxi or bar.

Forget the drink in the bar where she is sitting. Pay straight forward the bar fine and take her out to another bar 😁 and back home if necessary.

Don't drive in Thailand if you want to remain in one piece.

Why does Thailand continue to allow all these violent drug addicts scum to enter ? They should ban cannabis.

The smart people in Thailand usually leave the country during the Songkran madness. Anycase nothing is reliable or functions during the hysteria.
