mania

Yup that is the truth Then they post topics and say they use to live in mansions in western civilizations but it was boring 555 Truth is Hotel California is popular in Thailand for good reason.... they can check out anytime they like but they can never leave

Yes of course! Would be great for places like Hawaii too that never had disease & pestilence till the falangs arrived But like Thailand it is far too late for such things You would easier fit a camel thru the eye of a needle ???? Pandora's box was opened long ago for Thailand You think the Thai people want to go back to their culture without the money of what foreigners invest & spend in Thailand? It is a nice thought but not possible nor wanted by the Thai people themselves

Sorry Thailand nobody cares. Your in the rear view mirror of most that use to travel & vacation there You are no longer relevant as a destination to spend quality time in One thing many failed states like you forgot is it takes time to reinflate a economy like an accordion the same as your tourist industry will now see in the next few years. Travelers in fact like to plan way in advance & get the best prices on tickets etc & none will wait till say late June to see if they can travel to Thailand in July None except maybe those you prefer didn't come, The Mongers Although they in reality have been your bread & butter most of your existence even since Vietnam war times when you were just a R&R spot for horny tired soldiers That aside Anyway good luck Thailand but it is said that your sorry excuse for a government/leadership is a couple tin soldiers masquerading as Prime minister+ assistants & a ex-concrete worker masquerading as a Health Minister

What is most amazing about the illustrious Anutin is the forward seeing ability of his crystal ball. Here it is mid April yet he can see all the way into July 1st 2022 Must be all the concrete dust from his previous job

Yeah yeah what ever...Meanwhile we all were having a nice day watching Paris Roubaix yesterday...freely ???? Thailand & Prudent hahah yeah ok BTW: actual Euro stats here...Note green arrows mean falling not rising https://graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-maps/regions/europe/ All your seeing in Thailand is a choke of freedoms till next election is stolen...nothing more Thailand will fling open right after the Junta has stolen another fake election

Little does this nimrod know we had one of his crews decoder rings & already knew this long ago We also knew nothing would change until P&P steal another election after which Thailand will suddenly?throw open its doors once again as the swine will need more feeding at the public trough which is getting dangerously low due to lack of income/tax revenues

Actually it is amongst Thai's because the elephant remark is sarcasm against Prayuth govt

They sent you a pic of speeder Send them a pic of 500 baht via postal all done ????

In some ways it is good. Because every time this dictatorship removes yet another right of the people with some lame excuse of safety yet allows swimming for instance or uses water canons to control protesting students (during worse delta covid time) they show who they are. Eventually the camels back will be broken & anarchy will break out. This junta may think it would go unnoticed by the world if they fired again on their own people in what ever guise they claim but I think not So long story short, Yes remove more & more freedoms till they get off the couch & take their country & freedoms back

What always amazes me is when I would see workers with their bamboo ladders propped against this rat nest & fixing/doing something. I mean how would you know what wire does what goes where? 555 TIT baby TIT

When I first moved to Thailand in 2010 I was like Freedom!!! Then the Junta coup & we left a few years later in 2017 Now I have to admit since we moved away from Thailand I once again know what true freedom is & am happy to have it.

And you can always get an amendment to any Thai law if you have the baht ????

Sorry no link but it happened at Chiang Mai Airport Which many of us used to fly out of country, or did anyway. Not sure these covid days what the status is there But yes many Korean Airlines or China Airlines flights left near midnight & it proved a problem as that office was not 24hours in those days (2012-2016)

So if it starts to rain on Khao San Road & tourists dance in the street does it too represent a chance for covid to spread? Also if this "playing with water represented a chance for Covid-19 spread" is the reasoning why are swimming pools open? My bad, I should never mix reasoning with Thai law ????

Well he has to pretend to be happy as he knows he cannot drop covid restrictions Not because of Covid mind you but because of upcoming elections If he drops restrictions/Thai pass etc then gatherings must be allowed & there are thousands of protesters just waiting to gather on the streets So, we can expect right after they steal another election all freedoms/things will resume very quickly as they will once again want to bury their snouts in the public baht trough & they know without the tourist without the Thai business prospering there is much less tax income/baht to suck up. So again right after election full steam ahead

But as garyk also said the smog is terrible & that photo is obviously one of the Koh's/islands Some reports put Bangkok during bad AQI days as equal to smoking 20 cigarettes See attached pic of Bangkok add to the bad air month the highest road death rates and it is hard to tout Thailand as a long life destination Perhaps a happy life yes of course depending ion your situation, But long healthy life? Better than elsewhere? Hard sell on that one We do live at times in our Thai home but the majority of the year we live in a place that the AQI is perfect most of the time & where road deaths per year do not equal a single day's death count every day in Thailand

Not to mention some folks have left it till departure only to find their flight times with a closed office at the airport ???? Perhaps this has changed but I would not risk it...Better as you said just buy one at your yearly visit/renewal

Listen to Sheryl's advice !

Baby when I met you I thought it was good news Now that its morning I see it was just the booze ???? Just kidding but I had two marriages previously both lasted 12 years then I knew it was a slow death not really sure why but it just became hard work But my current marriage to a Thai girl has been 14 years & I know this is it. We just are made for each other None the probs of the previous marriages I think we just have more respect for each other & she unlike previous (non Thai) wives never hounds me about anything She is appreciative & feminine yet still strong in her own way without being over bearing

All citizens of every country have a choice (In this case the Thai citizens of Thailand) If they decide as you claim that they do not have a choice then as the saying goes, "The people get the government they deserve "

No problem & BTW I did not mean to imply you do not need to renew every year When I said no need to go thru whole process again I meant the initial process You of course do need to go in & renew every year as the extension is good for 1 year Also 90 day reports not needed when out of country clock stops & 90 day check clock restarts on reentry

" the trains to their economic destruction " is what I wrote , Which have been traveling at breakneck/runaway speeds for many years now ????

Sure this is possible. Once your one year extension is granted they do not care if you stay all year or part of a year. What you would do is when leaving get a reentry permit Try to time your exit/entry so you are back before your 1 year extension is up so you do not need to go thru the whole process again.

Was probably Prawit who bought it to use with his watch collection ????

It is at a point the people themselves need to decide if they will continue to board the trains to their economic destruction willingly like sheep or not
