That guy is is so incredibly stupid, it’s not even funny anymore. Keep using your bully tactics and the US will soon be left out of everything. You’re only 320 million people out of 8 billion. Pushing entire industries away like that will make them look for alternatives. Once they’re established, they might not come back, even if it becomes possible. It’s literally lunacy!

Report Israeli Tourist Sparks Outrage Over Shoe Rule Dispute in Thailand
pacovl46 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What the <deleted> does taking your shoes off have to do with with Israeli tourists contributing to the Thai economy?! Immediate deportation, and life time ban. Also, shouldn’t she be at the front?! -
No, you’re denying it’s a real thing, as long as you place transgender people in the same category as having fantasies and delusions! I’ve said it before, male to female transitioners should not be allowed to compete with born females. If that can get enough together they should get their own category.

Oh, I just love it when people who know nothing about a subject matter think they’re the authority on said subject matter. You’re confusing biological sex with gender identity. Yes, biologically speaking there are only two genders, and while you can get a sex change, biologically speaking you’re still the sex you were born with. No one is disputing that. But this is about gender identity and they absolutely identify as the opposite sex they were born with and that’s a fact. And that’s exactly what you don’t get/don’t want to get!

Well, transgender people are born that way. Depending on how you define biological, they might qualify as such. Obviously, if it comes down to reproduction, there’s only two genders, but transgender people are real. They do exist and I honestly don’t understand why there’s such a fuss about it. Take Thailand, for example, no one gives a flying f.ck and that’s the way it should be everywhere.

Of course there’s a limit to how long you can be a tourist. At least there used to be. It’s 6 months per year, a.k.a. a triple entry tourist visa. I think there’s also a 3x3 month family visa thing. Not a 100% on that one, though. Also, just because there’s corruption in Thailand doesn’t mean that all of them are corrupt and the law is the law and a lot of people have been abusing it. So every now and then you have to deal with stuff like the OP.
-
They do want you, but they do also want tourists to stick to the visa rules and let’s face it, there’s way too many people who abuse it to stay illegally or not in accordance with the law in Thailand, hence the suspicion! But somehow that always gets overlooked by people who complain about being treated like ““criminals!“

Underwater photography and videography is an extra course you can take. Some diving schools offer a combination of let's say a photography and a buoyancy course. The truth of the matter is that buoyancy and managing your body in a way that you can get close to something without bumping into it isn't exactly easy as it is, especially because you also almost always have a current. Carrying a camera effects your buoyancy because it effects your center of gravity. I never took a camera course, but I definitely accidentally bumped into stuff when I did my open water course. There's no way I could've also filmed at the same time! I was busy enough just trying to not bump into the coral wall. That's why you should have mastered your buoyancy and body control first before you start doing underwater photography. Also, given how long it takes for corals to grow back, especially in the age of massive coral bleaching, I'm all for protecting them.
