Hatari fan

Years ago when new in Thailand I made a big attempt to learn Thai but on speaking found the Thais didn't understand what I was trying to say and often stood there in amazement not even seeming to know I was attempting to speak their language. I gave up realising I would never master the different tones that are important in the Thai language. I now have my own private interpreter and if she's not around there's always Google.

Think if the UK had an agreement with Thailand to send it's trouble making prisoners to the Bangkok Hilton that would make them think twice before attacking prison officers.

Can't understand this talk about a weakening of the Thai baht it's about the same as it was a year ago against most currencies.

Do you take the test before or after you have eaten. Very smart of the restaurant if it's after. A fun thing either way.

How can you say the baht plummets when to the most currencies it's higher than it was a year ago

Two of many. They have no idea how many terrorist have come over on the boats and now languishing in a four star hotel at the tax payers expense.

I wouldn't say the baht was weak, ok it's gone down but not enough to make any difference.

That Turkish barbershops are money laundering is common knowledge in the UK. The authorities must be a bit dim if they have only realised it now.

I once started reading George Orwell's 1984 but gave up half way through because I thought it was too depressing. I thought the book was purely fiction and it could never happen in the UK how wrong I was.

Couldn't help but laugh, if I was so desperate for money the last place I would rob a donation box would be outside a police station. Desperate for food, it looks as though he'd last a few months on the calories he has stored.

Would you believe it Nigerians scamming people. The politicians and home office are obviously people that believe everybody is honest and trustworthy but they are not many are out to cheat the system. We need streetwise people to make the laws not do gooders otherwise the country is going to go bust as there are many scammers a benefit cheats.

Really terrible, it makes you wonder how a building like that could collapse so easily. Most of the people they say are trapped are obviously dead and those that are not easily rescued. A sad day for Thailand.

Makes you wonder who's running the country, it's certainly not the British people. Every day there is something that advances the rights and privileges of immigrants or ethnic minorities at the expense of the British people.

You could understand Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan having laws to protect Muslims but a predominantly Christian country like the UK having them is ludicrous, it's like turkeys voting for Christmas. Islam is a ideology hiding behind a religion and if you let it it will take over.

Another of Starmer's promises bites the dust.

Why would any sane person want to block sending 260 criminals that have entered the country illegally out of the country

The UK is getting crazier for every day and the police seem to be leading the way.

Great advert for Islam that the prisons are full of Muslims.

That's the problem with Islam most Muslims are peaceful but you don't know which take the Quran literally.

I have been coming for many years and have had various visas but the sixty days on arrival suited me as it did many others. It didn't entail the hassle with the sixty day visa online and with one border bounce you could be here six months.

To call mistrust or dislike of Islam Islamaphobia is ridiculous when we see on the news daily of Islamists killing non believers in both Europe Middle East and Africa, it is obviously not a phobia it is a rational fear.

I think alot of retired people that are here for the winter will probably stay for a shorter period because of the change. With the sixty days on entry they could get thirty days extra by doing an extension do a border bounce get sixty more days plus another extension which is six months. Now it will probably be thirty days on entry plus thirty days extension or sixty days visa plus thirty days extension a border bounce thirty more days plus an extension which will be four months without a visa or five months with the hassle of getting the visa.
