So for some reason people who live in Thailand are tarnished by the country. What have Thailand done that has made the place so unimaginably hostile to this bank that the literal very same bank that laundered cartel money for decades will not do small and simple business with those of us who just happen to live in Thailand?

Sometimes I feel hungry and I find that eating something really helps 🙄 Also it can be prevented by eating in advance of feeling hungry, often 2 to 3 times each day.

The simple uneducated man in the video has no idea what a pre-auth hold is and how long it takes for it to 'get released' which will vary based on his bank and a number of other factors. It is not instant and many of the less intelligent people in the world immediately start screaming about being scammed, calling the police, etc - merely for what amounts to nothing more than a pre-authorisation on a credit card. People should really learn about the payment systems they use.

Economy Currency Concerns and Origin Disputes Stall Thai-US Trade Talks

No, they are not trying to do this - they ARE ALREADY doing this. -
Immigration Thai PM Tackles Overstaying Tourists with Visa-Free Scheme Revamp
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What complete nonsense, more will overstay with reduced number of days. Nobody's coming to Thailand on a 30 or 60 day visa exempt entry and starting a business and then working illegally. But if they do then there's an entire police force - the immigration police who are already tasked with doing the job of detecting this activity, making arrests and prosecuting offenders - just like in every other country on earth. Are the police not doing their job - can't be bothered or something? -

Report Delay in Thai-US Tariff Talks: Minister's Trip Cancelled
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The US will look to exempt any goods that they need access to. Hard disks are going to be one of them. If the Thais want to wage war against the US they could shut down the small consular outpost in Chiang Mai in retaliation and whatever else they're doing for the Americans that we don't know about - and I am reasonably sure there's plenty going on. -

That's the thing with visas. You can just get another one and unless you're on the blacklist nobody cares. -
Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends

I make zero effort to do anything Thai. I did a language course once but could not be bothered to continue with it. I give his country and its people exactly what it gives me - which is nothing at all. -

Report Swiss Man Faces Arrest in Phuket Over Alleged Assault on Thai Doctor
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Whatever happens to this guy is the same pathway that can be used against any foreigner who slightly annoys any Thai person. I am watching this case very closely. The guy may have been a complete moron but lets sit back and watch them steal all of his assets until he's broke and then kick him out of the country. Even the Interior Minister - Anutin announced he wants him out - such extrajudicial punishment. If Phuket was a toilet someone is about to press the flush button.- 128 replies

These emoji things are largely irrelevant, does anyone even really look at them or care who's clicking what? Having said that I do like the thumbs down emoji, I suggested that the poop emoji might be a good idea a few years back but that didn't seem to stick 🤣

Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them

Indeed, probably better to think of the current iterations of Blue Origin as an aircraft launched by rocket and landing with parachutes with no landing gear. It's essentially a robot. -
"The True Origins of Covid" as per The White House
ukrules replied to teacherofwoe's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
You know this kind of thing happened before in China, they called it 'Russian Flu' back in to 70s a flu strain which hadn't been seen since the 50s appeared with no changes at all - like it was frozen. This happened because it was frozen all that time - in a lab and it wasn't in Russia. -
"The True Origins of Covid" as per The White House
ukrules replied to teacherofwoe's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
That it was meddled with in a lab, sure. What I'd like to know is the actual origin. It would almost certainly have came from a bat which is a reservoir for all sorts of viruses that don't seem to harm them in any real way. Finding the original non modified source virus would be the real smoking gun here. It is out there but likely well off limits in China. So where in China are the huge bat populations which are strictly off limits. Even past research could shed light on this - I have little doubt that the big virus collectors around the world (Us / Uk, etc) probably already know I mean this is hardly news, back in the first half of 2020 some guy named Deerlove who used to run MI6 announced in an interview that this was almost certainly a leak from a nearby lab - someone who would know such things. Yet his comments seem to have been ignored - this was in 2020! -

Why act at all? Who cares what someone else believes? You might not realise it but many people are completely and utterly incapable of thinking for themselves, they repeat what they hear - like parrots. Don't listen to the parrots and leave them to it.- 216 replies
