This is the same man who promised to make Thailand gun free within five years..........then did absolutely nothing. He has absolutely no shame. Despicable waste of oxygen, and this site gleefully publishes any self serving rubbish he decides to spout. Why does nobody ever challenge him on this <deleted>? I would love to see him squirm.

That photo is from the ASEAN summit in 2018 in Singapore.

Or any American president? America is responsible for just as much atrocity if not more.

Completely untrue. Why post something as fact if you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about? Fishing for likes? Thankfully the officials know a lot more than you. Swine Flu is actually more stable in frozen meat. "CSFV can survive for variable periods in meat, with survival more likely at cold temperatures. This virus is most stable in frozen meat. Viable CSFV has been recovered from frozen pork stored for more than four years." https://www.cfsph.iastate.edu/pdf/classical-swine-fever-csf-inactivation-in-meat

I think that's more to do with Bangkok having extremely localised weather patterns. It can be torrential in Phrakhanong but completely dry in Thonglor. It always amazes me how localised these storms are. (Of course you do get the occasional monster that covers the entire city, but usually they are extremely localised)

Does anyone on here own a Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric? I have seen a few around and they look cool, would be keen to hear of any first hand experience as I am interested.

Suvarnabhumi airport parking is 250 baht per day, so you'd pay 2,500 baht. It is directly connected to the terminal, it is secure, it is under cover. For 2,500 baht I wouldn't take the risk (or the inconvenience) of trying to park somewhere nearby.

Someone always makes this genius comment - the Netherlands doesn't flood from rain. There's a slight difference between the amount of rain that Thailand gets and the amount of rain the NL gets. The NL has an annual average rainfall of only 790mm which is tiny, and it is spread almost perfectly evenly across the year. . Bangkok gets 1,500m minimum with most of it falling in just 5-6 months of the year, so the volume of water falling is several orders of magnitude higher. Dump Monday night's rainfall on a Dutch city and see what happens. Dump the last three months' rainfall in any Dutch city and it would be carnage. Similarly if Thailand only had to deal with the small amount of rainfall that the Netherlands gets you wouldn't even get puddles. It is really quite a ridiculous comparison to make.

Homepro have them. I bought a Leaone one. Does all the measurements you want, links up with an app on your phone that remembers and tracks everything, it can give you graphs over time. Really clean and simple to use. Open the app, click on weigh, step on the scales and everything is there on your phone. Can't remember the price but it wasn't much, less than 2k baht. And it doesn't run on batteries which is a good thing. (Pictures are not my data)

Why?

What on earth are you wibbling on about? You have really lost the plot now and I think you need a lie down. Once you are lying down re-read my post very carefully because you are doing it again - attacking people who criticise Thaksin and calling them anti democracy, coup supporting, censorship loving, arbitrary imprisonment supporting people with "horrible personal beliefs". You are acting like a two year old. I have already stated my position on Prayut and it has nothing to do with what I think of Thaksin and what he did. By the same token if someone criticises the current regime should we call them extra-judicial killing loving, embezzlement supporting, mosque massacre backing, corruption championing people? This is getting silly now, I'm done going round in circles because you'll just come back and make the same unrelated attacks again.

You really do have a very childish way of debating. When I criticised his war on drugs your comeback was "but what about the 30 baht health scheme". Weird. And now anyone who criticises Thaksin you call them a coup or a Trump supporter. Very childish. You do realise it is possible to dislike Thaksin and also dislike Prayut. It's quite easy. You can count me as one of those people. Disliking one does not make you a supporter of the other. Try and engage in a normal debate, you might make some friends.

Wow, you really don't get it do you. So many of them didn't make that choice, so many of them didn't have anything to do with drugs, Nong Fluke didn't make that choice as he slept in his dad's car and died in a hail of bullets. You are a cruel and heartless person if you think that is justifiable. Anyway, let's say they did make that choice to be involved with drugs. You are happy for the police to execute whoever they want with no evidence needed, no proof, no trial, no due process. And if one of your family was executed in this way you would no doubt still be ok too because, hey, they made their choice to take drugs. Unbelievable (except it isn't because it is the tone of many of your posts).

Why do you just deflect each time, you never respond to any question, just deflect. The 30 baht healthcare was a great thing and by far the best thing he did and I congratulate him for it, it has benefitted a lot of people. See, unlike you I am not blinkered, I just look at the facts. Good stuff = good, bad stuff = bad. The war on drugs' extrajudicial killings = bad. Now over to you, can you admit that? You're like a stuck record. We are talking about the war on drugs which gave the police carte blanche to kill whoever they wanted, many of whom had nothing to do with drugs. I personally know two innocents who were executed. Can you confirm you believe this didn't happen? I have asked you before but you deflect, just answer a simple question. And to think you say I have an obsession, it is hilarious. I am only stating facts, good and bad. You are making things up and presenting no facts, no evidence, just going on the attack. So please, answer a simple question.

Yep. Remember Nong Fluke? Yet Mr Mojo believes none of this happened.

Yep, done that, thanks. I only see me calling out the anti Thai brigade who post baseless nonsense like no-one has heard of Conde Nast, Thailand is a dump etc. Honestly, silly comments that are only posted because the posters hate their lives here. And it is sad. Thailand has good and bad, but if you are visiting here for the first time (as millions do) it is an incredible country, like it or not.

Yes they did, and yes it was, and I personally know two innocent victims. It was an awful period in his "leadership". And he is using this terrible tragedy for political gain which is utterly immoral and shameful. I am losing more and more respect for this site each and every day they publish his disgusting self serving BS.......which is pretty much daily now.

Both male and female. And from recent times going back years. And I use Fast Track on every single entry - not because I am flash, just because I work for a BOI company so I am allowed to use the Fast Track lane. I have posted this in its own thread elsewhere but especially post Covid the IOs are much more friendly (it seems to me), giving smiles, wais, and having a little chat. Maybe that's because I approach them with a sawasdee khrap and a smile, who knows. But generally, in dozens and dozens of entries I have never been questioned, nor has anyone I have known who has visited me.

I have never been asked a single question in Fast Track other than the occasional "can you speak Thai?", and I have used it countless times. If you have access to Fast Track it would be ridiculous not to use it.

So you're saying it didn't happen then? Or maybe you subscribe to Tony's pathetic "It's not the police, it is drug dealers turning on one another" theory? Wait, I think you're really saying it didn't happen.... Can you read your own sentence out loud please.

It isn't. The "Visa on Arrival" lane is for visas on arrival, not visa exempt.

I never do that because then I have a different number. If you are with AIS you can get seven days unlimited data roaming in Malaysia for 93 baht.

Ridiculous comment. Thailand is full of amazing places. Sure about that? https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Thailand/United-States/Crime

Dammit, you should ask for a refund! I've upgraded to first a couple of times to the UK using miles. Unbelievable experience.

In other words you're a cheapskate. Agree that business class doesn't make a lot of sense for a three hour flight, but for longer than that it does and it is not about a bigger seat - it is the whole stress free experience. Let's say you fly Emirates business class, you get picked up from home in a Mercedes, you do not have to queue at check in, security or immigration, you get to wait for your flight in a lounge with full meal service, lots of food and drink choices, champagne, wine, whatever you like. Depending on which airport you're at you can board the aircraft directly from the lounge, no queuing. You get a glass of champagne at your seat before take off. You have tons of space and tons of privacy, a big screen TV, amenities, you get proper food (three courses served in order, on plates), high quality wine and drinks. You can convert your seat to a fully flat bed with mattress and blanket if you want to sleep. Or you can chill in the on board bar if you want to meet people. You arrive fresh as a daisy (or drunk as a skunk), you are first off the plane, your bags come out first, you have a driver waiting for you to take you to your final destination. To me that is well worth the money. If business class was just a "better chair" it wouldn't be. Once you try it you realise flying can be something to look forward to rather than something to be endured. And you can't go back to economy.
