Once the Thai emergency sinister declaration has been published foreign travel insurances will remove coverage for travellers planning to visit Thailand. I can see a lot of fine prints denying coverage for multiple causes even if they are not related to the hearth quake and its consequences.

A financial scam is when you don’t have any other option than pay or you have already paid for a cause you did not want to support. In this case you are free to decide without any pressure from your peers. Your wallet, your choice.

Sanitation and clean environment has done more to prevent virus spreading than vaccines. Why Amish and Mennonite families who don’t vaccinate their kids have no case of autism and are healthier than other children? They have a strong immune system due to their lifestyle and organic foods. Government mandates and lockdowns failed among these people because there were no cases of COVID and adverse effects due to vaccination. Recent studies have proven that Polio was eradicated by proper sanitation, not by vaccination. Recent cases of polio and tuberculosis came back in areas of poor sanitation and lack of basic hygiene.

‘So it’s different than the Thailand METV. The Thai expiry date on the METV visa is the last date you can enter Thailand and you still get 60 days or more before exiting.

The OP reads that the arrival card must be submitted 3 days before arrival in Thailand (same as in Cambodia and other countries which have anlready implemented this system). So it gives you plenty of time to fill it and download it before your trip with help or no help from a Good Samaritan. If you don’t have a smartphone print the QR code on a piece of paper and stick it in your passport. The IO scans it and here you go without holding the line.

That’s what I thought, far-right ideology is purely European. It has obviously been tamed in other countries.

Before the Americans burned down the city of York (Toronto).

How do you classify the political regime of Singapore? What have they done for their successful political stability and financial achievements? Based on your list of do’s and don’t’s how does it apply to Singapore?

There are no far-right political leaders in Europe with the exception of one (see below)* but there are extreme-left political parties (total equalitarianism and social equality). These parties used to be completely proletarian but not anymore, they incorporate many branches of collectivist ecologists and other tree-hugging cultists as well as activists utopians. Far-right regimes have disappeared after the death of Franco, Salazar and the Greek Junta. The only ones remaining were the rulers of communists countries, members of the Warsaw Pact with the exception of Tito who kept Yugoslavia out of the pact. These were the true far-right rulers hiding behind a screen of Marxism-Leninism or socialism. * The only far-right leader in Europe is Führerin Frau von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. Nominated by her peers but unelected. She stands above the law and does not answer to anybody. She rules without opposition, the only opposition is among members of the European Parliament with no real legislative power against the European Commission decisions.

If it had imploded like the Titan of Oceangate, nobody would have survived. Maybe a poorly closed hatch failed during the dive.

It’s already happening across Thailand. Malls are downsizing and surviving because of anchor tenants (Banks, Utilities, Government services, food courts, etc…).

“…Federal data show that 23,700 illegal migrants were apprehended crossing from Canada into the US…” The word “apprehended “ tells the whole story. The non-apprehended must have been in the hundreds of thousands. Canada is just a springboard for entering the US. Canada has not the resources to monitor closely its border 365 days and nights of the year. Who are the fools who want to migrate to Canada? I know some people are masochist or they will complain later on that they have been cheated by the posters of the Canadian Pacific railways showing the Rockies, the grain elevators of the Prairies or the fishing villages of Nova Scotia…or the “free” healthcare.

Entering Thailand (Ranong) coming from Kawthung (Myanmar) mid-December 2024, I was asked to show an onward ticket even with a visa expiring mid- April 2025. Never been asked before at land, sea port or airport of entry. Depends on the mood of the IO. Sometimes they are “chatty” and find any excuse for conversation.

Thailand is for sale. All agricultural land is being cleared and put on the auction block. As land ownership is only for Thai, the upper class dictates the price and conditions. There is no competition between buyers, just agreements. Some areas are an ecological disaster with soil scrapped from its arable land. No farming or crops any longer possible. Then it sits for years without any takers with weeds growing back with the next monsoon unless a landslide kills any possible deal.
