I perfectly understand the man....I have been close to that on severaL occasions. Bangkok Bank have some crazy ideas/rules and some even crazier staff making them up. One of them is do you know if your ATM card expires or is faulty you must travel yourself in person the accounts home branch to get it replaced? Any other bank can replace no matter where you are. So imagine you have an a/c at BB in Silom and you go on holidays to Chiang Rai and lose your card, or it expires, you are up sh#t creek because you need to get back to Bangkok to do anything about it.

Its the 2,4,6,8 holiday plan: 2 to a plane seat, 4 to a single room, 6 to a bar girl, and 8 per tuk-tuk.

Agreed.....couldnt care less how much pepsi costs, rather buy a kilo of sugar and some paint remover.......aweful stuff!

Is this the same kind of screening thats done with the health checks for a work permit or drivers license. Theyre so good at them they dont even have to see the patient. How can they keep 'ramping up' anti smuggling measures when you would think they should be running at 100% already , considering the covid pandemic as well as their current attempt at getting a downgrade in human trafficking status with the US?

Where have you been sleeping? lol

Its a smoke screen to make it look like the authorities are doing something when they are not arresting the main culprits from above.

Maybe time to let the Dodger out and into em!

Will we be free to criticise the US or will the truth still not be tolerated ?????

Golly jee and heavens to Murgatroid, its George, The Ghost Who Walks!!????

Well golly jee and heavens to murgatroid! Its George, the ghost who walks!????

Been waiting for my online report which has been pending since the 16th. We were on the phone with our imm office today and yesterday but was told forget it, put it in the post, the whole system is down Thailand wide. He was after my Line ID because he said he couldnt even get an email out on the Imm system.

Its the arrests that havnt been made and certainly should have been made, that are of concern here. On the subject of transparency, this headline was also in the latest news: Protest in front of UN office against proposed Thai law to curb NGO activities

Everbody should band together and call their local police station daily asking them to visit and check the THC in your plants because you certainly dont want to break any laws lol!

Clearly you have no idea at all.

Agreed, for us with the wife/GF 23 years younger its very easy to relieve that frustration and anger......bring it on I say!!

Yeah? Really? I'll have to give it a try...thanks.????

You are correct. Years ago when dope was everywhere and the police turned a blind eye there were no pills except a few bar girls I knew were on pharmaceuticals. As the cops got heavier with dope more turned to 'powders' ie meth, speed etc. because much much smaller to traffic, hide, carry etc. and could return better profits for a lesser sized stash. I know they are totally opposite drugs but thats what happened, both here and most other places in the world. The policing of cannabis actually caused greater problems with addictions, crime etc. Portugal legalised all drugs and there has been a marked reduction in crime and addictions etc. Pharmaceutical giants, tobacco companies, and others lobbied governments, and particularly the US government who in turn pressurised the rest of the world, to criminalise cannabis. In turn stories were fabricated, such as Reefer Madness and other movies, and the public brainwashed with this propaganda so widely its affects can still be seen today and especially among some of the Lock up Your Daughters ThaiVisa members, as shown in their comments above. Nowdays of course the US government has taken an absolute reversal with cannabis, just like with Afghanistan, where what once was saving the world from imminent danger, now is considered of little concern.

Thailand can play important diplomatic role in Ukraine-Russia conflict ahead of APEC How? Will Thailand be providing the 'pretties' as part of its "soft power" stategy??

You forgot lawyers.

Sounds like a real 'yes' man.

Not a problem really....the US can just print some more money to pay for the ink and paper to print even more.

Agreeing or not to the partnership is no real deal at the end of the day. The US never keeps to its word if it doesnt suit them.

Hes still trying to work out who or what he should be pointing at ????

No.

I wonder if the test was done like when I taught here in Bangkok: "Keep testing them until they pass. If they dont pass before 3.30 then give them the answers".
