Is that Darth Vadors mum on the left ?

Gross tattoo. Why do they disfigure themselves like this ?

Whole heartedly agree. The OP walked into the Lions den and got bitten . Stay well away from that place unless you are frog marched there by immigration. In Thailand it pays to keep a low profile.. In the old days you could not exit the kingdom without a tax clearance certificate if you stayed longer than 180 days. This would have cost a few thousand baht. However , outside the tax office there were moonlighting civil servants that would act as your guarentor for 500 baht. TIT not the USA.

Well done that man. Well worth learning basic first aid techniques. A simple thing like the recovery position can save a life. First Aid should be taught in every scool given how nmany rtraffic accidents occur here.

They refuse cash in London and I found out the hard way having walked to the bus station at Heathrow and waited 20 minutes for the bus. I had to walk back to the underground station and get us two oyster cards. Could have used my bank card to swipe but wife is too old to jog along behind bus.

It's called ' Rip Van Winkle ' syndrome. I got it too last time I went to the UK for a visit. Before people winge about the cost of living in Thailand, they should go home for a visit. A word of advice. Don't order a pint in a pub before asking the price. Oh yes , and remember ,buses don't take cash. My 90 year old mother has a home help who comes in twice a week for a bit of house cleaning. A snip at 12 pounds an hour.

Are the figures in for the Black Death or Bubonic Plague in yet. These have been brushed under the carpet for centuries. Time the truth was laid bare. Make a change from all this covid fixation.

Putting her case asside , IMO the IDC is a complete disgrace to Thailand and it should be ashamed of this facilty. Some people have been incarcerated there for years with no end in site. An example is the fate of the Uygurs. A while back there was a story about a British woman being banged up for trying to collect a debt. Her cell looked like the Hilton compared to the IDC. https://www.ucanews.com/postimg/IDC4.jpg

Had all mine out 15 years ago. Looks better , less bad breath and no problems since. Pound was at 72 baht at the time so I splurged on a lot of things. All money well spent.

Allah Akbar

Meanwhile , in pigs heaven, Porkoman, the supreme deity , has sworn revenge for this outrage and laid the curse of a million rashers of bacon on him, all at once from a great height.

Taking a step back and looking at the global situation it would be easy to come to the conclusion that the biggest islamaphobes are Muslims themselves. Several Islamic countries have either just gone through a period of civil war or else it is still ongoing. Fighting other Muslims no problem. Those that have had enough want to flee to Christian democracies . Once they are settled into their new countries many want the things they have just fled from. Plenty of other ethnic groups in the UK but they just integrate and get on with their lives. Not seen many Chinese takeaways getting burnt down. Unfortunately for the good Muslims, the significant number of extremists among them are spoiling it for the majority of law abiding citizens.

I would call it prostitution. Selling themselves for money. Some even live in a Walter Mitty fantasy land of being a minor celebrity. Different strokes for different folks.The same applies to bar girls. Those who are ok with it do it , others wouldn't dream of selling themselves no matter what.

I personally think the crop burning problem is worse than the traffic emissions one. Not much traffic in Petchabun but lots of burning and it is very visable most days. I took the wife and sister in law up into the hills recently to admire the sunflower fields. They were pleased to see what they took for low flying cloud ' Mog ' . I had to tell them it was haze pollution from crop burning as far as we could see. Not all local but blown everywhere from far away. If everyone was driving an EV tomorrow there would still be haze because old habits die hard as the penalties for burning are too light. Law enforcement ????? What's that ?

I just completed this quiz. My Score 90/100 My Time 129 seconds  

I would say " would the last sensible person emigrating from the UK turn off the lights and lock the front door. ' However , the many entering by the back door will turn on the lights and unlock the front door for their arriving families convenience. so not much point.

Yes...If the confusion is too great and queue too long I might just pretend to feint and get carried through immigration on a stretcher. Quicker and more comfortable.

Fair point. Those small blue disposable ball point pens cost an absolute fortune, way beyond the airports budget. Thailand + new app = glitch

Nope.

Are you poking a stick through a certain members cage by any chance ?

They were both arm wrestlers ? AI at its flowery worst. How about ' emotional landscape ' Some kind of heart shaped rockery .?

Don't need one because don't eat the kind of food you can cook in it. In fact , the older we get the less we eat. Only eat twice a day now. Mostly skip lunch having a light snack instead.

But not completely.
