Thank you for your post in response to mine. Can you please allow me some fresh questions? I sometime hear about commercial establishment that is openly advertising 1st World Level Service by the 1st World staff/technicians. Do they make it possible by dodging the system/using legal loopholes? Such as putting up the Business Owner Just In Name(Thai national) for camouflage? I have heard of that method all the time since my settlement here though. Does that sort of practice (always) come with Under-The-Table transaction involving a Brown Envelop(with the local police/immigration? Some examples of the shops where the foreigners are working in the Prohibited Field. Unisex beauty saloons(There are quite a few of them).

First causalities of the climatical change on the global are the low-laying coastlines and islands. By the rising sea level. Some other part of the world is already affected bad enough. Australia started to accept refugees from the islands in the south Pacific. Australia offers refuge to Tuvaluans as rising sea levels threaten Pacific archipelago (france24.com) Looks pretty much like the cost of the modern comfort and conveniences we take for granted. There could be some natural cycle as well. But Human Input is undoubtfully acerating that sort of phenomenon. I really feel sorry that the fast and worst affected are often those in the 3rd World countries: They are usually much less consuming (by all means) than the 1st World population. But they are often forced to suffer more than the people who make the negative changes worse...

Senseless Singapore copycat policy. One of the worst stupid announcement ever made. Destroying one major tourist attraction of Thailand. Bureaucrats' Empty Pride always Do More Harm Than Good.

Yes, I can clearly hear the change of pace during its drive.

What is the ultimate aim of that bust? Rounding up illegal business/employment here? In order to protect domestic products from China's export surge? Or they wanted to use up their budget surplus by the year end(if that raid took place last month)? *Thai financial year is: Oct 1-Spt 30 next year

And how are things now(re:foreigners' gun ownership after political transition)? Did the new govt relax to any extent? Or still Prayuth rule applies? Is that issue impacted by the gun crime by the teen in BKK in recent months? Bangkok Post - Two dead in shopping mall shooting

Thank you. Looks like some people cannot tell the party involved LOL. In that topic: Thais=100% victim; Hamas' hostage Israel=Sweat shop operator to Thai workers & enemy to Palestinians in Gaza(also to Hamas) Hamas=Enemy to Israel that abducted Thai migrant workers during their raid

Musk's immigration status at the time of founding his first company, Zip2, remains murky. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in 1980s, I have heard that people could actually obtain US Permanent Residency(Green Card) through the backdoor at $10000- Unsure how true it really was. If anyone among you know much about it, please post.

the construction worker, whose identity has not been disclosed, was gathering his belongings and seeking refuge under cover as heavy rain began to fall in the area. Unfortunately, as he took shelter, a lightning strike hit the vicinity, resulting in his untimely death. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Might be an undocumented migrant worker from the neighboring country. Another sudden, tragic death of young life. Heartfelt condolences to the poor soul. Also sorry for his/her remaining family member back home. As well as their (financial) hardship to come(by the loss of earner). They might not be even able to know about the death of own son or father...

Thanks for your input regarding the historic change of Gun Laws in Thailand. Is it true that it was 1970s when Thai govt started to restrict foreigners' gun ownership here? That's something I read back in late 1970s.

Is Poo-tin plotting any terror attacks in Europe? Quite a silly thing to do. It will only cause adverse effect; their anti-Russia sentiment will only get stronger instead of weaker. Can lead to more aid to Ukraine.

There are always some criminal elements among the mass of refugees...

Before I am eligible for current retirement O(by visa status change), I have always travelled by bus for visa run to Thai-Burmese border. As well as for tourist visa application @Thai embassy in Vientiane. Bus attendants were often busy passing soft drinks and snacks to the passengers for onboard refreshment. Poor soul, rest in peace. Heartful condolences from the former bus traveler...

That's what Pattaya built for. That's what a lot of people come for. And that's what they pay for LOL.

The video quickly sparked outrage online, with many expressing frustration over foreigners taking over jobs typically held by Thai locals. Commenters voiced their concerns, some describing Phuket as a “lawless land” and pointing out that this issue has persisted for a long time. Others noted the growing presence of foreign operators in popular areas like Kata and Karon and questioned why authorities haven’t intervened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thailand's No-Foreigners Business list according to the Foreign Business Act 1999: The Press, radio broadcasting station or radio and television station business Rice farming, plantation or crop growing Livestock farming Forestry and timber processing from a natural forest Fishery, only in respect of the catchment of aquatic animals in Thai waters and specific economic zones of Thailand Extraction of Thai medicinal herbs Trading and auction sale of antique objects of Thailand or objects of historical value of the country . Making or casting Buddha images and monk alms-bowls Land trading As far as seen from that lists, Tour Operator is not included. Can they still expect the intervention of Thai govt while they are not violating any laws? If any expert among the readers, please share your knowledge. I am no expert to this topic.

Thanks for the additional info.

Israel VS Hamas. Battle between one evil and another. My total impression after all.

Could be in Poo-tin’s mind.

One is locked up at gun/knife point; with death threat. Another is locked up in poverty. No immediate death unlike the above case. But just like socially tortured relentlessly. Just a matter of facing instant death. Or facing slow painful death... Misery level Olympic(an attempt to justify one bad by accusing another bad). Your favorite sport? Can be part of human nature. But very hard to look at when you do it openly, visibly, repeatedly. Better keep it to yourself, instead of sharing.

Very interesting. Posting texts often clearly give away their real nature(including racism, justification of the Silent Violence that makes this world miserable).

Sorry to say: Quoting one bigger evil(e.g war crime). It will not really beautify any other forms of institutionalized violence(evil acts in the system at peace time; such as over economic exploitation). Some crimes are simply more visible than others(not involving military attack on civilian population). That is nothing to be bragged/justified. They are both ugly wrongdoings; only in different shapes That's all.

Brutality. That is one thing they commonly exercise. Nothing more. Nothing less. Neither party looks no better in real term after all. I am not a reporter; simply quoting what I felt. End of story.

Anything they cannot see with the naked eyes won't be cared for. Supposedly the serious response to the recent disaster. In reality, (compulsory) check up just in name... Isn't it?

Supposedly the serious response to the recent disaster. In reality, check up just in name... Anything they cannot confirm with their naked eyes, won't be picked up;left alone as it used to be...

Modern day cunningly disguised colonialism/slave labor lookalike. Looks like both Israel & Hamas are just evenly brutal in the way they treat people from outside...
