It is sad that I cannot post a 'sad' emoji.

Quite a few businesses will set up a company for foreigners. If the foreigner does not have any Thai shareholders, they can be provided by the company setting it up.

Thanks for clearing that up. A couple of reports that I had read quoted that the form should be filled in 'at least three days before arrival eg https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3006411/digital-arrival-cards-required-for-visits-to-thailand-from-may-1

Get used to it. These things are already in place in many countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia etc. Not unique to Thailand. PS they did not work for me on recent trips to both Cambodia nor Malaysia. No issues, just processed by a human being as normal.

Yellow is the 'go to' colour here on Samui apparently and only 390 per day

They are just buying time whilst they renegotiate the deals with everyone. Loyalty just became more expensive.

I hope that the poor snake is OK after having the seat smashed down on its head.

Like two peas in a pod.

I wonder what the statute of limitation is for those heinous crimes.

And people pay those outlandish prices? So much for 'going green'.

I am not an expert at anything but I have 3 chronic illnesses from years ago. Everyone said that if you have a chronic illness and you catch Covid that you are likely to die. Krapp. I had the initial jab plus two boosters. Caught Covid twice and both times it was no worse than a heavy cold. Friends where I live also had the same vaccinations AND caught Covid - very mild. None of us have died - yet. So what is the point of this trolling thread? Another conspiracy theory?

You had better start filling a brown envelope with cash Mr Zang. You are going to need a very big one.

Very sad. A busy day today at the OK coral. 5 separate shooting incidents reported on this site alone, with at least 7 victims.

or drugs

The lying, thieving, illegal junta is asking countries for aid to help after the earthquake, but they have men and money aplenty when it comes to killing civilians. And recently a cease fire was announced.

High on drugs, the murderer drives off in his car. I do wonder how many accidents are caused by drug driving, but attributed to alcohol. Sorry, a tad

I agree with most of your post, but the justice system is not to blame. That is trying to treat the symptom, not the disease. ie the crime has already been committed. Discipline and morals are first taught in the home, Every day. They should be re-enforced in the education system. No discipline at home allows this.

Muslim terrorists do not give up until they have got what they want. Sorry, peace will not happen. There will only be a lull in the fighting.

Someone looses a bag 'full of gold necklaces' and does not report it lost? Something wrong with this story.

Pheu Thai never had the public support to be the party in power. They stole it from the Move Forward party and have struggled ever since. The only thing that has got them to where they are now is the 10,000 baht 'vote buying' schemes. They have now run out of publlc funds to continue that charade.

In reading the above article, Thailand's version of 'high tech' is a plastic wallet for your phone and an app that I would not trust in a million years. PS not all tourists use apps. Many do, some do not.

So who is looking after the poor little lad?

Or maybe, just maybe, lots of folk do not have any spare cash for fuel and booze.

Hmm, I seem to have hit a nerve with you. Sorry if I did. To answer your question - Samui has an International airport and many choices of ferries. I have a passport. This means that I can travel - lots. My job allows me to communicate with people daily, mostly face to face. I listen more than I talk (as explained to me by a professional salesman - two ears but one mouth). Then, I also have friends and family that I communicate with. Whilst I have not lived in the UK for more than 32 years, I have been there often, although not since Covid. Friends who visit every year are now saying the same thing. They are not sure if they will go back again for a holiday. Just a quick personal visit or an emergency. My daughter and granddaughter still live there and are happy. My D-I-L and her children still live there but have moved to the countryside. They started to feel 'uncomfortable' in the larger urban areas.

Well done to all of the rescue teams. I believe that the original mound was 26 metres high.
