  1. Want to see what an educated AI can & did do? Watch the first few minutes of this https://www.bitchute.com/video/lxsVZuXNf16Q/
  2. Weaponry purchased has nothing to do with enemies real or perceived in Thailand Weapons in Thailand have one purpose only & that is to generate receipts far in excess of actual weaponry How else do we explain all the Billionaire on military pay Generals of Thailand
  3. No as they already have a surplus left over from the ones they had planned for the new attack helicopters They will just reorient them from vertical thrust to horizontal ????
  4. This excuse for a govt can buy subs, jets,tanks etc etc etc Cannot afford a pump truck to do this? What is this the Thai Flintstones? Scooping sewage with a bucket? Reminds me of the attempt to use motor boats revving their engines to stop flooding Sometimes I am so grateful ignorance like this is not contagious but it is sad to watch & worse to support It is inhumane at least, People fall in klongs in Bangkok & lose limbs to infections, how much worse could this be?
  5. Always interesting to watch folks trying to catch a falling knife
  6. Thanks & as others have said a good list ! We have been thinking of either buying a condo in CM or CR as we sold ours in CM back in 2016 I have only been to CR a couple times but liked it. I know you spoke of Public hospitals but that is one thing that is still attractive about CM Not that we are sickly but the fact CM has such great facilities & selection does make it attractive again One other thing is earth quakes. I know & remember the one in 2014 as it ricked out condo in CM too Chiang Rai is at risk of being hit by a big earthquake as the province sits on the three main fault lines Also I cannot post link here because it is from BKP but google "Chiang Rai tipped for huge quake" It does make me wonder as I have lived in fault areas before & know how wild it can get But those two things aside we do want to go look & see which we prefer CM or CR for a foreigner owned condo
  7. Of course everyone knew that this suppression of protests was always the main reason for the decree Most also know Prayut can never lift it before elections in November for obvious reasons Problem though is , Thailand is at the moment FINALLY seeing a bit of light finally seeing some possible income headed back to the little people thru tourism This tho is a powder keg that could quickly end all of that so timing wise it sucks for the normal people This question should have been raised long ago & of course still needs addressing but this timing really is terrible for actual Thai people in need
  8. That is odd isn't it? I had a crash a few years back here in US & that was the first order of business at the ER They said I should be the poster boy for helmets as mine was smashed but no head or brain injury ????
  9. Problem with this inflation driven rising prices is of course the sellers will next raise prices too But if/when this inflation dies down do you think anyone will lower prices? Possibly the end of one of the biggest attractions in Thailand, inexpensive meals
  10. Oh come on, This is not even a question Although Britmantoo came closest with his in Thailand corruption is available to all & it is But truth is try bribe a cop on the spot in the USA...You would be tazed & laying on the ground belly down in cuffs ???? Trust me I'm not saying it is not nice being able to bribe a cop in Thailand for $6-$150 but you might think otherwise if your the dead guy at the scene that some perp is bribing his way out of
  11. Yes but as I said in her third year in USA she became a US citizen...Any such path in Thailand for you? No need to answer we know already ????
  12. Sorry don't know if the site is just wrong but, Can you wait till July 1st when all those rules will be dropped including Thai Pass?
  13. Read John Quincy Adams 1821 speech & get back to me ???? https://loveman.sdsu.edu/docs/1821secofstateJQAdmas.pdf 555 yeah read above & head on over to your draft board or send your kids
  14. Not if you study & know the rules Look at the foreign affairs manual & learn Quite simple actually
  15. Read comprehend take two & call me in the morning ????
  16. Pffft I brought my wife to USA in 2007 as my girl friend ( she a Thai citizen earning a Thai wage<sic>) Then used status change to allow her to stay Where she then became US citizen in her third year So yeah to answer your question I think I do have a clue...
  17. Actually they usually do better My wife came in 2007 with a 2 week tourist visa The decision is actually left to customs gate & the lady said 2 weeks??? I think you need 6 months & that is what she gave her Think that would ever happen in Thailand??
  18. Bro I dont know which Hawaii you mean but the State of Hawaii dropped mask rules on March 26th & we have not worn one since https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2022/03/08/governor-state-health-department-hold-news-conference-mask-mandate/
  19. Because it is not about whats maybe coming but what already left Same as Promenada keeping the lights on air on & all mechanical systems running these past years has left a stain Prom had some insane back owed Electric bill they had to default on
  20. Ah the age old answer to everything...And if the rich say screw it I'm outa here? How about something easier like cutting the insane Military expenditures per year? How about shutting down some of the 700 US bases worldwide? US military spending amounted to $801 billion in 2021 there is the elephant in the room
  21. It is a pity & this is just one domino Many more will fall & it is the fault of an inept government that did not know how to steer a country thru a crisis Sadly many will lose income & many more will follow. Does this sorry excuse for a government thinks it is easy to reinflate an economy? They think now many months too late that a reopening or dropping of masks will help?? Sorry to say it will not help anytime soon Folks have moved on & gone elsewhere. Thailand will recover but it will take a long time to reinflate During that time there will be much more hardships & suffering for the Thai people That will bring higher crime rates & all the rest that goes with it Thailand has needed a Hero for a long time now
  22. Not really...Look for instance at USA they give 90 days to 40 countries but the deal is those countries also give 90 days to USA citizens when visiting there So ball is in Thailand's court Give 90 get 90 for Thai citizens https://visaguide.world/us-visa/nonimmigrant/visitor/visa-waiver-program/
  23. Ain't that the truth ???? One thing I really appreciate back here in the West is a nice craft beer in the afternoon I'm talking Imperial Stout 12% ABV ????
