mania

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

Ah like that time he said no gathering, no drinking, & masks on? Then only to be photoed eating & drinking without masks at a long table full of family & friends ???? Anutin, Prayut, Prawit......“ All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. ”

Exactly This ^^^^ Then again you have the dueling parties too with election coming Last thing Junta wants is students gathering to protest so they keep that decree in place till elctions Secondly Anutin who himself has illusions of grandeur & possibly being the next useless PM keeps trying to suggest (although rightfully so ) lesser restrictions to garner brownie points with the tourist sectors etc But he is only doing it to keep himself rel event/in the news Lastly the campaign of fear is so deep now in Thailand that you have folks taking covid tests at home daily & posting the reults on their social media feeds like a badge of cleanliness ?? Surely someone is also raking in baht over those tests sales The only way out of this is citizens of Thailand need to just say no more But then again you know everyone except the youth are programed to just nod in agreement with anyone they deem higher up the ladder than them so this would likely be a undermanned protest

This whacked govt really doesn't want to release any freedoms till after next stolen election Yesterday was 50k predicted today 100k predicted Yesterday was Grandma's fault for not getting boosted Meanwhile the rest of the world has moved on & we're doing fine You do you Junta Thailand

Hey man I hear Thailand has high end stuff wanna go? Sure man but I dont know if I have enough gas

Well at least they didn't blame Russia this time ????

Because they only have 1 BMW smart car & the rest of the cops are on scooters ????

I am not sure it is yet possible for Japanese to re-enter Japan after visiting Thailand...at least not easily as Thailand is still on their list Restricted areas on entry by law East Asia South East Asia Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Republic of the Union of Myanmar, Cambodia*1, Thailand*1, Timor-Leste*1 *1.Added since May 21, 2021 https://www.ana.co.jp/en/jp/topics/coronavirus-travel-information/immigration/
