Errr, Skype has been shut down. You also need wifi to use it.

Holy Micromanaging. I am on vacation. I am not your slave. I remember paying to stay here.

Actually they are just as bad.

Don't worry, nothing is wrong. It is so easy to say this sitting in your office. If this happened to me I would be freaking out. My phone certainly doesn't work outside the USA and I am happy about this other than if this happened to me. This is the poster child for booking a hotel directly rather than not using a 3rd party booking site and skipping booking someone's private house. This stuff happens all the time on booking, airbnb, homeaway, etc. WTF: "Booking.com has since refunded the cost of the non-existent villa, with a deduction of £80, but the Loaders' ordeal didn't end there. The family's additional expenses for new lodgings, international phone calls, and unforeseen travel costs were not compensated. " Why 80? Why not the additional expenses. Not to mention the company thinks this family's time and stress is free when it isn't. Time to hunt down the booking office

Absurdity, "Thai law under Section 345 states that individuals who knowingly consume food or drinks without the means to pay may face up to three months in jail, a fine of up to 5,000 baht, or both." They are going to fine someone without the means to pay 5,000 baht. I would love to climb into the brain of the person who wrote this and explore what they were thinking at the moment. Maybe I would find out what planet they are on or what they were smoking at the time.

Meanwhile in the real world, USA, Covid shots are now only recommended for those over 65.

I wonder how long this guy was in Thailand for and how he got caught up in something that ended up getting him killed in such a short time. Must be good old Thai hospitality.

Is Thailand trying to make tourists not visit? The hotel requirement is obscene. Passport photo, what a pain in my ask. The financial requirement is a joke....equal to USD 550. Really.

I don't get this. If you are not in your home country you need to be extra careful to not break any laws or cause any trouble. Why would someone sell this stuff? Desperate for money maybe or just stupid? Both?

CAT FIGHT !!!!

What is up with Thailand. I haven't heard any talk in the USA about COVID in months, much less a count.

I dare some now to tell me the everyday risks are not higher in Thailand than they are in a first world country. See the other article today about the "Giant rocket crashes through rice mill roof".

The libs in the USA are all up in arms over The Donald doing this same thing. Amazing libs.
