BangkokHank

If I were a dictator, you're exactly the kind of person I would want to have as my subjects: people who believe that they have no rights - and don't deserve them either.

It's one thing to search a person's bags for contraband such as drugs and weapons, etc., (which I agree they have the right to do). It's an altogether different matter to search their phones (and computers) for whatever it is they are looking for there.

Still, all of that stuff is none of their business. The right to privacy is a fundamental human right.

YOU might think that you have nothing to hide. But it all depends on what they are looking for. In any case, this is a gross violation of privacy. It is unacceptable.

I hope this is the start of a trend: https://petersweden.substack.com/p/huge-norway-goes-against-cashless

I use cash for 90% of my transactions - deliberately. The only things I pay by bank transfer are my rent, my internet, and my electricity bill - for MY convenience. I don't object to cashless payments being an option - as long as I get to choose how to make the payment. The obvious intention, though, is to woo us with the convenience of digital payments, then to switch to digital payments being the only option. At that point, we are slaves - because if you are a dissenter, the government can just switch off your ability to use your own money. China is already an example of that. And don't think that every other government in the world would not love to do the same thing.

Finally, a sensible proposal.

Poor Jews. All they want is to be able to commit genocide with impunity, and for NO reason, people hate them!

This is just a way to trick people into accepting enslavement via a Central Bank Digital Currency.

I grew up in a 99% Jew-controlled country: the US.

Cancel the policy. If they are lying to you before you even get the policy, what do you think they will do later, when you need them? Find another company - one that doesn't lie quite as blatantly.

I used this company when I moved from Bangkok to Saigon some years ago, as well as for two local moves within Saigon. They were extremely professional with the packing and moving and unpacking. And they also have an option for insurance. You can find the details on their website at the following link: https://www.santaferelo.com/en/your-thailand-moving-company/

This is the bag that I have been using for the past year. It's very light, yet very sturdy. And quite spacious. So far I am quite satisfied with it. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/eagle-creek-expanse-2-wheeled-intl-carryon-2-215-i4476512219-s18079138286.html

FYI: It's "Tumi", not "Tumo"; and "American Tourister", not American Traveller. https://www.tumi.com https://shop.americantourister.com

I just got back from Mega Bang Na, and by coincidence I went into the stand-alone Samsonite store there. Maybe it's new, as I don't think I had seen it before. It had quite a large selection of suitcases on display. From the Samsonite Thailand website: https://www.samsonite.co.th/th/stores SHOP MEGA BANGNA ROOM 1338, 1ST FLOOR, MEGA BANGNA 38, 38/1-3, 39, MOO 6, BANG NA-TRAT FRONTAGE ROAD, BANG KAEO, BANG PHLI,SAMUT PRAKARN,10540 027619979

Given a choice between these two airlines, I would choose Nok Air. They just seem to treat passengers better.

Songkran is the only "celebration" that I know of that people (including myself) actually flee a country to avoid.

Which parts of the article do you disagree with?

How does he know that? Maybe he did it before but just forgot about it.

They should actually eliminate all zebra crossings in Thailand. All they do is give pedestrians, especially foreign ones, a false sense of security.

No need to say anything.

Just tell them you're on the "hansum man" visa. That's the one I'm on.

That was me. I sent it to you by mistake. I meant to send it to "Will NOT B Good". Sorry for the mix-up. Just meet me at the mouth of the soi with the cash at noon and I will pick it up. Again, sorry for the mix-up.

The fact that millions of people around the world still use Wikipedia as a source simply shows that there are millions of scientifically illiterate, gullible people who are prepared to believe any old nonsense with a pseudoscientific presentation. Wikipedia has been totally discredited as a source for truthful information. https://swprs.org/wikipedia-and-propaganda/ From this article: Many Wikipedia manipulators are editing articles almost all day and every day, indicating that they are either highly dedicated individuals, or perhaps operated by a group of people. Moreover, articles edited by these personae cannot easily be revised, since the above-mentioned administrators can always revert changes or simply block disagreeing users altogether. Many of these covert campaigns attempt to promote establishment and industry positions and destroy the reputation of critics. Because of its influence, German watchdog group WikiRadar described Wikipedia as “one of the most dangerous websites on the internet”. Particularly affected by this kind of systematic and covert manipulation are Wikipedia articles about political and geopolitical, commercial, societal, medical and some historical topics as well as biographies of non-compliant academics, journalists, and politicians.
