It's difficult to imagine any car chase in metro Bangkok that doesn't end in rot deet within a block and a half.

OK, two people got the flu, they felt sick for a few days and now they are better.

Yeah, I'd go this route too. It's your personal guitar. Guitars being carried through airports are a common sight. Don't overthink it. I walked through the "Nothing to Declare" exit with a boxed bicycle a few times. No one said a word. Good luck.

The search engines on Lazada and Shopee are dismal at best. Try searching on Google or other and usually one of the first results will be from one of the two shopping sites. Office Mate has them, so does B2S.

That guy would be dead if that was an American airport.

Where is this politician that is not seeking power? Where does this government exist that does not want to control its citizens?

Moral of the story is find and pay a decent lawyer if you are handing over 15 million baht to anyone for anything in Thailand.

"Startled by the events, the monk finally agreed to pay...". Startled and finally agreed to pay? Why did it take any convincing?

Return of Chinese Tourists to Thailand Has Pros, Cons... well, duh

So...if they were really concerned about money leaving the country, wouldn't they want to encourage retirement and general tourism in Thailand rather than doing everything in their power to discourage it?

Since when was any politician "smart"?

100,000 pages? That isn't even 1,000 visas from what I've seen.

Please explain how the exemptions will work?

You would have to run a bigger scam than the "legit" taxi scammers run to make a profit.

So, there was a delay allowing Thai firefighters in? Still not a very bright decision.

Zachary Wright!

The after action report should be interesting.

I would be stunned if more than one in a thousand TM30's are actually being done every time for every stay.

Ready! FIRE! aim...

Why?

Just exactly how many "wealthy" foreigners do they think will pony up this kind of money let alone how many actually qualify for their scheme? One rai at a time...it would have to be millions before they get close to buying out the country. I'll be shocked if the numbers are even in the hundreds.

I think it's safe to say there is a bit lost in the translation of "witness protection" to or from Thai.

Masks are stupid period.

Thank you for the source. My point exactly.
