The call was made early Thursday afternoon. He made it from the airport. The man was still in the airport when he was arrested Friday evening. If I was in his position, and had over 24 hours before they arrested me, I can think of a plan using a means of transport to get me out of their jurisdiction before they catch me...

The "easy access" old Elite visa valid for 5 years was 500,000. I suppose taking into account inflation, and the need to save face, I think you've hit the bullseye. I always felt that even that old price was a rip off. The only vaguely reasonable was 20 years at 1 million. But obviously this all depends on our situations and feelings. I'm intrigued to see if a 20 year "new" visa makes an appearance in the next year.

Their sales must be an absolute freefall. Either it will slowly die or they'll dramatically discount the rates. They made two errors. They projected forwards the unusual post-Covid demand, and they assumed the Chinese money vein could be tapped for ever. This government's new ultra -liberal visa policy was the final straw.

It still seems to be active. Going through the standing committee stage of the House of Lords. Very close to becoming an Act.

This psychologizing the other side is so tiresome. I'm sure it makes you feel good but it's a dead-end. Just take the L. I describe it as a religious fervour because that's how it expressed itself. The senate leaders going to their knees over BLM, Whites chaining themselves up and begging forgiveness for their sins. It was all moral theatre. It self-described as a religious awakening: Woke. Denying what I can see before my eyes is foolish. When you're in a cult it doesn't feel like it. But you are. Your DNA emerged from the extreme puritanism of the Mayflower refugees. All of us non-Americans can see it. And because you're in a cult, everything American is dialled up to 11. Your fever has broken, just spend this time to recuperate before the next religious upheaval in 25 years.

You really sense a remarkable demoralisation of the Left this time round. The religious fervour has evaporated away. The idea that the future always bends to the Left shtick has been wrecked. Even a majority of Latino men voted Trump. He won a majority vote. Where can the left turn? They really are scrapping the barrel with the latest form of their religious awakening in the shape of men in girls' bathrooms. It's difficult to recall just how intense the Woke fever peaked at. Whites were more pro-immigrant than immigrants. Whites expressed remarkable levels of oikophobia in survey after survey. Trump is a giant shock to the Left. The fever has broken. A pivot to economic issues could be next.

Definitely do this. Open and shut case if there's CCTV. They'll pressure him to pay up.

You Sweet Summer Child. This is how they know everything about your Australian money and investments.

How can you be this illiterate? My point is to express exasperation at the commentators who obsess over just the merest possibility of the West performing mass deportations. My point and only point was they are completely oblivious to Thailand's everyday use of the function. Of course I grasp the difference between stateless and immigrants. I feel Thailand has an overwhelming duty to provide citizenship to the stateless born on Thai soil.

Quiet reminder: Thailand had by August this year mass deported 145,000 Burmese migrants. You didn't know about this because only Western States are not allowed to do it. (Here's a source.)

Who? If it does happen it will be an error of the Immigration Office. The 90 days requirement is for you to notify them of your address after you have been in Thailand for 90 days continuously.

You have to be joking. You think they would add something, in order to deter people from taking too much of another substance in the tablet? But this deterrent effect would only work if the person reads the ingredients label... and is fairly literate on drug types... and also knows this particular fairly common drug can be very dangerous... And then and only then if all those conditions apply might it deter a potential addict...

From the scientific method which overcame personal prejudice and relied on investigation under controlled conditions. These marvellous organisations, for our benefit, do this for us, and the links I provided, that you are so reluctant to read, are from their thousands of hours of toil. This is especially important in this area where addicts are prone to lying. And where people can have considerably different experiences. And the reason I know these latter two points is again because of the scientific method.

One reason is that the ingredients are often covered by a protective layer (enteric layer) which ensures the ingredients are not destroyed in the stomach before it can be absorbed into the body.

It's one of the four standard methods as outlined in the link that I provided. Had you actually read it you would have known this before your dismissive response. "According to the Australian “National Guidelines for Medication-Assisted Treatment of Opioid Dependence” by Linda Gowing et al., published in April 2014, there are 4 primary interventions for managing opioid withdrawal... a third method entails gradually reducing doses of methadone." And you are wrong that people cannot die from going cold turkey with opioids. I understand you will not read the link but the title of the link is perfectly adequate: "Yes, people can die from opiate withdrawal"
