    Yes it does. Freedom of speech means freedom of speech, including speech that YOU deem to be hate speech. I suppose you would approve of hate speech against Kanye?

    "I'm very rich. So bring me all your food. And also lend me 4,000 baht to pay the tips." It would have never occurred to me to borrow money from a restaurant. I'll try that the next time I eat out.

    To be able to convince people to accept a dystopian, unelected, one-world global government, there needs to be the appearance of there being a global problem that can only be solved by a global government. "Climate change" was chosen for that purpose - precisely because it is easy to fool people about, as most people can't distinguish between climate and weather. There is no climate emergency.

    So the countries that have nukes haven't used them and probably won't, but the country that doesn't have them (Iran) WILL use use them? Talk about cognitive dissonance.

    Foreigners used to pay the same as Thais at government hospitals. Ten years ago I paid 9,000 baht at a government military hospital for a procedure that required me to spend three nights at the hospital. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that foreigners now have to pay much more than Thais for treatment at government hospitals.

    Good point. Thanks for reminding me of that. I recently got a five-year tourist visa for India, so the next time I need a hospital for anything significant, I will just pop over there.
  7. BangkokHank
    So there are over 2 1/2 times as many Thai patients as there are foreigners, but they only contribute 55% of the revenues. That means that foreigners are paying a lot more per patient than Thais. Why should that be the case at a private hospital?

    I'm not British. And neither is that Indian.
  9. BangkokHank
    Acquiring British citizenship does not make an Indian British. If I were to get Indian citizenship, do you think the media would refer to me as an Indian man?

    Let's try to protest that we have the right to stay in Thailand illegally - and see what happens. Ha.

    Or his 90-day report.

    If not wanting to have your once great country destroyed by Third World riff-raff brought in to deliberately destroy your country makes one a racist, then I'm a racist too.

    How could and why would a bank restrict the amount of money that you transfer INTO your account? And what would happen if you transferred an amount that would exceed their limit? Would they just send the money back to your foreign bank account? It really doesn't make sense that a bank would restrict inward remittances. Transfers OUT of Thailand, possibly. But inward transfers, why and how?

    Do they REALLY keep statistics on phone thefts in Vietnam? My phone was stolen in Ho Chi Minh City a few years ago, and all three of the police stations I visited wouldn't allow me to file a report. They even accused me of trying to file a fake report for the purpose of committing insurance fraud, but I didn't have any insurance on it.

    Exactly. If someone brings in income during the tax-free years, then suddenly stops bringing in income when the tax is reinstituted, it's going to be difficult to claim after that that they don't have any overseas income - which they will then try to tax.

    I'm pretty sure that getting water from one of those (dirty) machines for several years was the cause of my bladder stones a decade ago. Now I get my water delivered every week or two from Sprinkle.

    Don't they read the news? Is it really worth the risk?

    In Vietnam, every Grab motorcycle taxi driver carries an extra helmet for their passengers. That's the right way to do it. But I can't see them doing that here in Thailand. And it would be impractical for occasional passengers to always have a helmet with them just in case they might decide to take a Grab bike.

    Hamas might have wanted Kamala to win, but the Israelis wanted Trump to win - and they're the ones who decide US "elections".

    This is not news. News would be when a ladyboy DOESN'T pick someone's pocket.

    His plan was to win the jackpot, then pay the victim back with his winnings. But the police intervened just as he was about to win, so it's their fault.

    And did you get vaccinated again? Do you really think that the human body evolved to NEED to have poison injected into it?
  23. BangkokHank
    So not only do they smell bad, now they're committing armed robberies.
  24. BangkokHank
    I would like to recommend that YOU get vaccinated again. I am happy to remain unvaccinated.

    Wait, so people don't like overpriced, lackluster food? Who would have expected that?
