Thailand is fast becoming the hub of all things seamless. I suppose the ultimate aim will be a lot more generals and maybe one private for each province.

I wish I did. I would find the man who wrote jingle bells and persuade him to take up farming or teaching...anything except song writing .

Probably worth a watch. Thailand’s Oscars entry is taking the world by storm. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/how-to-make-millions-before-grandma-dies-netflix-oscars-uk-release-b2667730.html Thai blockbuster How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, one of the 15 films shortlisted under the International Feature Film category at the Oscars, will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland next week. The only Southeast Asian film shortlisted in its category, How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies has been a hit both at the domestic box office and with critics. Grossing an estimated $78.3m worldwide, the film has become the highest-grossing Thai film of 2024 and eleventh-highest of all time in the country even, as well as breaking box office records in other Asian countries.

Why is the dog looking sheepish ? Was it in someway involved or am I barking up the wrong tree ?

Theirs is not to question why , theirs is but to do and buy.

Yup, I have also used Eva almost exclusively for over 20 years and never had this before so hopefully just a one off . Nonetheless Eva is not as good as it used to be since post covid they now charge for things that were previously free . Date changes and seat allocation for example. Other airlines also do this so just a sign of the times.

Sad to say , this reminds me of my Eva Air flight back to Thailand last year. Full of overweight mongers on their way to party in Pattaya. They just would not stay in their seats despite air hostesses asking nicely. I had a seat by the emegency exit for the legroom but the area in front of me turned into a meeting place. Never had this on Eva Air before but with BA no longer flying LHR to BKK the plane was completely full. Might try an alternative airline next trip or maybe I was just unlucky.

Seamless + Thai apps = 🤣

Hence the popularity of Tik Tok. Just seems to encourage Attention Deficit Disorders.

Not a great beer country if you don't like lager. Whenever they announce a new beer it is just another lager.

Tissues please. I'm just a big softie.

Bake my own and fill will black sesame seeds, pumpkin kernels and sunflower kernels all of which are anti inflammatory.

They just do as they are ordered so as to keep their pay cheque's coming. Just a bunch of rubber stampers.

Good for him. A generous and proactive gesture. At least he is actually trying to do something to help.

Robotaxis like this ?

Why only at night ? I have not yet seen a report of these things operating in the daytime ?

Oh yes. Could not possibly be worse than it is

Maybe not afraid but rather cautious. Computers can also make mistakes , get in a muddle , get hacked and crash. If it only means you can;t pay for your shopping at checkout because of a systems failure this is only a minor inconvenience. But if AI is given more critical work to do then has a big meltdown it can be a lot worse https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8030666/gatwick-chaos-heathrow-airport-it-crash-drone-drama/

Recently , reading various news articles , there seems to be a trend where we are giving more and more everyday tasks to computerized systems and AI. I can't help feeling that somewhere down the line , for whatever reason , we might realise we have not been cautious enough but find it difficult to back track. Others are thinking about this too. Some scientists are also concerned and even Musk has chipped in. Then we can look at Ukraine and see how drones are being developed to wage war for us. Are we being the architects of our own demise ? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65746524 So is this a case of science fiction leading the way to science fact

I wish I had the spare time to get bored. What a luxury , nothing to do.

Try telling that to some of the posters here , especially in the Ukraine thread.

Wormholes to you Will. Wormholes.

Sorry , you can't say that now. The correct , inoffensive term is a kettle of ethnic diversity . You'll have the KCUK after you ( Kettle Council of the UK ) If you see a police car outside your house , now you know why. You brought it on yourself.

Actually , I just googled this. Apparently Visa On Arrival ( VOA ) is only for 15 days and applies to 31 countries : https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/visa-on-arrival What you should be getting / asking for is Visa Exemption , 60 days with possible 30 day extension https://washingtondc.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visaexempt-voajul2024 I guess the immigration officers at the airport know this and will not accidently ive you only 15 days.

Thailand switching to all online visa applications. What could possibly go wrong ? Glad I won't be one of the guinea pigs helping them to sort out the gremlins and get their ducks in a row. Be a lot of people bypassing this and going for VOA then sorting things out in country.
