ANUTIN is just an arrogant raciest and he should be kicked out of Government.????  

who to kick him? he has got a perfectly cemented position there (suggest you do some root work on this gentleman)

Old man thrown out. 

 

Great job.

nothing wrong with that  -  he did not follow the law and THE LAW does not have feelings like  sorrow, pity and the like

"However reporters learning of the story went there at 1 am Monday and found plenty of street walkers "

but nobody tells me where exactly!

There will have to be one other country at least when China is allowed back in. If it's only China and there's a spike of Covid 19, that would look bad and where to put the blame?

easy: Blame the farang! because they did not come to TH, the Chinese had to help out with the virus

OP, don't be so naive as to think that you will get anything other than jokes, sarcasm, bitterness and derision in answer to a question like that. Make up your own mind, don't ask others, especially on TVF. 

one person who he could really ask, though would be any lass's mother - she thoroughly knows her daughter in and out. So give it a try and see your possible future in-laws in their stately residence

ya nothing at all creepy about that. 

I think the lass led him straight to the nearest head shrink

just another fine example of the Thai leading class playing their favourite game "charade", the Thai version comprises the famous elements "run & hide, lay 5 tracks but all of them dead after a while, lie wide-eyed / smilingly, plant a desaster into the future by using friends and friends of friends, steal openly, deny before being interrogated, accuse your neighbour/pal/family/peer/dentist etc. of wrongdoings, keep most assets overseas (or stash away in cash under your bed), buy dozens of SIM cards registered by a friend in Singapore, always keep 40 names & addresses each of Burmese, Laos, Khmer labourers ..."

Man, the world has seriously changed hasn't it, and this is in a country now reporting single digit or zero daily cases, that's cases not deaths.

 

This is all just freaking me out now and finding it really hard to see any positives anywhere. It's also clear that gov's are now using this situation to gain more control over people. Awful, awful times. 

I can clearly see that the C19- situation is heaven-sent for control buffos - these Thais start following their Chinese Big Brother's total control !  And: This cannot be turned back, the opportunity is just too good, they will simply carry on

all these official point.something percentages make me dizzy - this is sheer electronics; about 80 years ago we would have said "between 70 and 90 percent...."

Also if tourists needs a medical certificate, that will also keep the numbers down, as I believe you can't get a certificate right now.

either you can't get or - even more likely - nobody bothers anymore to come to "locked Thailand"

They had planned this over 2+ years ago. Just never implemented to date. But yes it is coming and I will stop going to 7-11

just wait until their Chinese peers finally show them how to do it, there won't be a single place left anymore for your shopping

I went in my local lotas to grab some red onions for missus northsouth. 

She almost finished cooking dinner and realised she didn't have any, so it was a bit of a red onion emergency. 

I also ignored the que to sign the book, and though I understand the reasoning behind it, I don't intend to pick up a pen that 100 strangers have just been handling. 

Will avoid lotas for the time being. 

in Lootut, fresh pens on the left, used pens on the right (will be sanitized before being moved back to the left)

it baffles me that these europeans visit thailand for holiday or relaxation but end up in fighting, misbehaving and in this case murder.

I think quite a few foreigners (not only Europeans) don't come for holiday but for settling more serious things with "business partners". Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Japanese shady figures are a well-known breed for sorting out things in TH

prices up, of course. "we did not have proper income for a long time!" ... somehow understandable...?!

I am curious if Thais have to pay this too. I guess not because they will say "I can´t understand the English sign".

or Thai "me thinks: written in English so for English- reading people only"

do we have to fear that any of the T.A.T. gentlemen (and gentlewomen) read the results of this questionnaire?

I went to Villa Market a few days ago, I notice that they are running low on some imported food items.

 

I like the Oscar Mayer sliced turkey, none of that left at all.

"Oscar Mayer" ... probably just changed the name

There is of course the pink ID card in existence

 

But guess what? it appears to be far too much trouble for many to obtain, so they whine about the time and effort it takes to be processed and about it being of no benefit

Add an approximate price of 60 baht well no chance that is just the final straw!!! No way Jose over a a quid/ a couple of dollars surely taking advantage!!

 

My wife set it all up for me yellow book and pink card - considered it might be a good idea - is it? don't really know, but it means I am on record at the local amphur, having got married there also, a 'known' person so to speak which is always a good start

 

Permanent residence, why do you need it? comfort blanket? oh to resolve the hardship of immigration controls, give us a break, if it's not worth the effort then..... do one!!

 

 

The PINKY is half-good...problem has been it does not have a magnetic stripe or chip so it is really just a piece of printed plastic (often valuable, though)

one more thing: it is issued by your local amphur not by the government so often it is looked at as a "local card --- means what?"

haha, my mother in law still calls me 'the farang', and that's after 23 years  of being married to her daughter, and she visited us twice in UK.  I look upon it as a term of endearment  as she always says it with a smile on her face !  

"...with a smile on her face" while counting her monthly overseas income...

was there any peculiar smell about you? sometimes you won't notice yourself n then it helps to ask your neighbour sniff you out before you go shopping, just to make sure...
