Yes, Tuk Tuk fare always increases without prior notices. Especially when they spot any foreigners lacking: Cheaper alternatives. Local knowledge (distance to their destinations). Very basic Thai language skills... I got similar experience in Cambodia as well more than a decade ago. One Tuk Tuk driver offered me a ride(the distance was roughly 1km). His initial quote, $10, I ignored and started to walk. Then $5, I still wakled on. $3, still No. Finally $1, OK, agreed...

I felt your one-line post quite stupid. I simply mentioned Thailand is made up of many different faces and colors. And you started to condemn me saying as if I am ignorant. I have been here nearly 20 years. I know they often value whiter skin than the darker. But at least, their racism doesn't come with physical violence unlike in the west. They don't swear or hit others just because the strangers got different faces or colors. Since 2020 Coronavirus scare, Youtube has been full of videos covering anti-Asian violence taking place in the North America and Europe. But that sort of phenomenon is not heard here. If you are really upset with Racism, better voice your concern somewhere else instead.

Very funny to be see someone obsessed with Racial Purity in this kingdom. Because it doesn't exist here in the first place. Malays, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Westerners, and Asians from other parts of the world. Thailand is made up of various different faces, colors, cultures, food, religions(while 96% of the population is said to be Buddhists).

Thailand Cuts Diesel Prices Amid Global Oil Price Drop
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Will it go further down if Thailand can if Thailand can beat down Russian oil by the free trade agreement? Countries like India and China are already doing it to Poo-tin Empire. A lot fewer nations now import from Rus(sanctions), so the above 2 are using it for concession to their advantage. -
I watched the attached video carefully. The passengers are still issued with their boarding passes. And scan it with the reader at the boarding gate. 0:24 The fact: The Boarding Pass still remains. Facial inspection at the boarding gate is automated. So it can skip old method: ID inspection by manpower. Truly misleading Headline.

Yes. Quite A Reasonable Concern. Half-hearted automation can do more harm than good in case of troubles. Abolishing conventional system without sufficient failsafe is absurd and dangerous. Especially in the Low Tech country that cannot properly maintain online immigration process(e.g. 90 days report). Disabled online report system only causes irritation among users. But at the busy airport, it will cause a big mess and actual harms(some passengers might miss their connecting flight passengers if their transit time is tight).

Face Identification C/in @Thai airport. From 1st November, domestic travelers in Thailand will experience this new system, with international passengers following on 1st December. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Did any of the very recent air travelers ever experience this? The text says they started to use it 2 days ago though.

What they are currently doing now, is only producing shells and dumping it in warzone. Just the same as creating mass of garbage for throwing away. Can never be sustainable economy in a long term. Apart from it, one of the most significant impacts of the invasion is on Russian Demography. In other words, steep population decline at present time and in the future. So many of their men in their 20s-30s were meaninglessly lost in Poo-tin's war without cause. It means they will suffer severe shortage of the workforce. Report launch | Russia without Russians?

Overdue 90 Days Report
black tabby12345 replied to Jhennie's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They impose 2000THB fine on your next 90 day report. And stamp it on your passport. On such an occasion, takes longer than on/in-time case. But that is all what happens. Unlike visa overstay, it won't any affect your future. So kiss some of your money bye and relax. -
Phuket Taxi Mafia Confronts Tourists Over App-Based Ride

In recent months, Thaiger calls any form of crimes/scams 'Mafia' ever too often. Don't Take My Name In Vain, the real mobsters would say. -
Expats and Retirees Excluded in Thailand's Citizenship Grants
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I bet the Biggest Beneficiary of the dual citizenship in Thailand is, the Swiss man who has been BKK's sex industry tycoon: Owner of the King's Group in Patpong. Can anyone please advise his name? -
Thailand has been known for its skillful diplomacy for centuries. Hope they can well take advantage of the doomed Poo-tin Empire for oil for less, for the better being of the people in this kingdom. I normally hate the exploitation of the people/country in difficulty. But the bandits & pirates are the exception.
