'Inspector Bell' Leads Tougher Immigration Screening
Not sure if it means the establishment of an “Asean Zone” similar to the 'Shengan Zone' in Europe that has been bantered around (pipe dream??) by the Thai’s. Its weird, I get 60 days Exempt, my girlfriend from Vietnam gets 30 days exempt. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot, they are embarrassed that officials, both Police and Political hae allowed the criminals to enter, stay, conduct business to the tune of hundreds of Billions of Baht. So this is a knee jerk reaction. Limiting two visa exempt entries a year, okay legitimate tourists can do that. All others get the appropriate Visa. Dump the DTV…….or tighten the requirements - C’Mon, we know those thousands of DTV holders are not sweating and getting their assesss kicked in Muay Thai - it's letting the bad guys in, letting them stay longer and longer. My Hai Baht's worth

Flu Explodes in Thailand: 160K Cases in One Month, Deaths Rise
I got the flu shot in August in the US, think I’ll get another one in Thailand, get one every year, maybe two, haven’t had the flu in 20 years or so. Flu shot doesn’t ‘give you the flu’ weakened immune systems make you susceptible to influenze…….eat and live healthier and you won’t get it, shot or not. Peace

What minimum balances do you keep in Thailand?
Explorator en Actione replied to MarcusAurelius's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, InvestmentsI keep about 2 Mil THB in Thailand, Health Insurance is in USA, and they are In-Network with Bumrungrad, so cover most if no all. Trying to get Bangkok Hospital to partner with them as well, saves me a trip to the Big Mango.

Can anyone buy a Beer at 7/11 yet after 2pm?
It could very well be, but the Thai think it is true by the number of teen pregnancies that occur, presumably after school and involves drinking alcohol. Peace

Can anyone buy a Beer at 7/11 yet after 2pm?
Stores have the rights to make their own rules, for example, if they have strong beliefs that there is even the slightest chance school children are able to have someone purchase alcohols for them sortly after/ or during / school hrs, they can just stop selling as they please. Just because the ban is lifted, doesn’t mean it is mandatory. I know I would. Now here come the “I will sue them for my right to drink cheap beer in the afternoon” crowd. Waiting for the flames and the one notoriously known for the thumbs down to build up his post count, we know who you are.

Public Anger Grows Over Extended Alcohol Sales Hours
True - I came back from Vietnam war at age 19, wounded twice, messed up in the head, and still couldn’t legally drink in a bar, had to be 21 years old, even back in 1969. Cheers

Why choose Cambodia?
Finally a voice of reason - I too go way back in Thailand & Cambodia -spent a year in Battamabang, KomPong Cham, PPenh in 73, US Army, then another year in 1996 contractor…….Cambodia is NOT like Thailand 30/40 years ago, not even a distant close, and there is no indiginous ‘Khmer' food it is all regurgitated Thai & Chinese wiith a Khmer name. No where else on earth can you go into a resturant and order endangered species from the menu. suppose I could go on and on but haven’t the time. People that think Cambodia should read the book “Off the rails, a year of living dangerously"

Why would anyone choose to holiday/live in Thailand in 2025?
Who? Whores, Lady Boys, Gansta Motocy drivers, Crazy Farang, Cops with their hand out, and everyone that treats you like a walking ATM?? You mean those people?? , not a real friend amongst them, wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them. But, thats just me, and about 70% of those that live in Thailand, we dolt go to those places. You can have every inch of it, and I spend a lot of time in ‘Real’ Pattaya, not Farang Land. Peace

Thailand Clamps Down on Visa Abuse by Repeat Foreign Visitors
The Thai Govt makes it easy to cheat, how many people with those thousands of DTV Visa’s issued “really” are practicising Muay Thai, going to “Accredited Cooking School” or Getting continuous Medical Treatments. I called the LA Consulate and asked how many Medical Appointments do I have to make to qualify for a DTV, she said “Oh, a couple during the 6 months” I said I wanted to learn “Traditoonal Tai Masaage at the School in Wat Po” She said, “If you can show us official enrollment, you qualify since that is a Thai Art” Think I’ll enroll in Thai Massage and get a 10 year DTV 😆😆😆😆

Russia turns inward to target pro-war figures
Do they still celebrate “No Day”?? The day Nazi’s showed up at the French border and demanded Belgium surrender, and they said “NO!” then the Wehrmacht drove their tanks thru Belgium in a day. At least thats how I remember it, I lived in Belgium for 3 years when I was younger, they taught it in school.
