Do you realize how arrogant such a response appears to the readers.....

``As Bangkok Bank is incapable of supplying one year statement on the spot (only max 6 month) I will go with three seamless statements.`` I had the same problem with Siam Commercial Bank (SCB} in Phuket some years ago, when I started to use the 65K monthly transfers. Six months max per statement at my bank branch in Ha Yaek Chalong. A friend of mine living in Rawai mentioned to me that the SCB branch located in Rawai do provide a yearly statement for Immigration purposes. So I headed down to Rawai, and he was right, the Rawai branch was giving a service that I could not get in my own branch. Passport please, bank book please, < Ha Yaek branch<, 200 bahts please... Some minutes later, I get a single statement of one year, and a <thank you<.... But then Rawai is an Expat location, so service is expat driven so it appears... Welcome to Thailand....

A culture where parents literally teach their children to discard plastic and papers along the streets, and expect or rely on Myanmar workers to do some cleaning up on the side of the streets, now offended because it is done at a larger scale, dumping in sewers, to save on their waste disposal. Such a long way to go to get to a point where people could feel responsible for the environment...

I simply say no to them in French.... If it works, problem solved...

So I am sure that he also indicated that all the benefits of using an Agent outweigh a potential risk involved, that might be involved...

That is a tough one. What can be said at the end of a meeting, that did not provided the desired outcome for Trump. Perhaps Trump learned from Islam, and lied in order to retreat and come back in strength. Perhaps. I want to wait and see. Trump is known to act decisively in difficult situations.. Something that his predecessor did not possess as a quality.... I hope that Trump just ended with a diplomatic response. Hope that we will know soon what his real thought were...

How about that..... The wolf is not happy...

What I see is foreign tourists looking very happy to be able to adjust to the Thai culture and ignore traffic rules on the roads...

Really... "the approval of ganja as a commodity was a was a wise thing to do, liberalization means forward progress,". Contributing to the proliferation of recreational druggies is wise and progressive. Thailand has shown that it does not have the maturity required to control itself when faced with a display of what is tantamount to candies in front of children... "Thai people invested billions upon billions of baht"... Does not show much "financial hardship", now does it??? Perhaps these investment could have been targeted to invest in sport and activities that could be beneficial for the youth, whose only activity appear to be using motorbikes to go even a few hundred meters away... The bicycle parking at the new Robinson complex is always empty... Open up some bicycle shops.... Or making books available to these youths...Not as if this is not needed...

Prohibited by civilized people... and because smoking stinks, and second hand smoke affects the health of those who are forced to inhale some of the poison drug...

Smoker's mind, and the rest of the world...

Oh yes. This would allow you to be able to write your vitriol in a way that people can understand...

This post was not written for the Thais.... For the reason that you describe....

All about not knowing about the sea. Holidays, beach, all looking like pleasure. They did not know about the sea. I remember in Crete, small beach, swimming while the sea was coming to shore in a sequence of high waves. Group of friends going for a swim and coming back to sit on the beach. One girl went swimming, and after a while I could see her being thrown around within 2 meters from the shore. One hand was waving out of the water alternatively, and then it no longer looked ok to me. I rushed to the shore, waited form the fifth wave to break at shore, and then went to grab her and bring her back to safety. Then she said 'why did it take so long to see that I was in danger of drowning? I was drowning she said... I replied that we did not know, that we played in that water, and saw not threat from the waves. Then I realized that she did not understand the sea at that beach. I explained that we knew that the waves come in sequences of five strong tumultuous waves, followed by a short calm period of 10 seconds or so. Just swim to shore in that period, and the sea will allow you to just walk out calmly. And I said that I thought that everybody knew, as we had observed the sea while sitting in the sand, and understood how the sea goes from threatening to welcoming... Not knowing about the sea has scarred the heart of this whole family.. For the rest of their life... How sad....

Thanks for highlighting the exception that confirms the rule....

You are totally delusional sir..... Israel is under attack by a culture that teach even children to HATE, and that is the real problem between Arabs in Gaza and Israel. Hate is the fuel. Hate in the heart of Gaza Arabs, that was the only reason to build underground bomb hiding places, under hospital and schools... Hate is what it is all about. Israel knows that the only way to put an end to the conflict is to remove the source of this hatred. Unfortunately, the world is still refusing to make it illegal to teach children to hate, to hate another culture, and the main target of this hate from Gaza is the hate of the Jews. How can that be done without having some people shifting the blame, because of collateral damage. No war exist that do not include collateral damage. This poor excuse of fighting for land, that the Jews would have taken from the Palestinians a long time ago, is just hiding the real source of the problem. the HATRED. We had a similar problem in my country starting in the time of colonization by the French and the English. All about land, and who gets to claim the largest portion. So from Wikipedia:"From the late 15th century, French and British expeditions explored, colonized, and fought over various places within North America in what constitutes present-day Canada. The colony of New France was claimed in 1534 by Jacques Cartier, with permanent settlements beginning in 1608. France ceded nearly all its North American possessions to Great Britain in 1763 at the Treaty of Paris after the Seven Years' War. The now British Province of Quebec was divided into Upper and Lower Canada in 1791." So this is how this war ended, simply, through an agreement, that goes like this: "So you take this part of the land, and we take this part of the land'', and then we try to live in peace from then on. Simple. And bridges were built between Ontario and Quebec, to enable cohabitation, and we never saw anyone preparing bombs to destroy this means of peace between two cultures. And the reason why peace was attained is simple, because neither the English people nor the French people taught their children to ponder about the past, and instill HATRED towards each other's cultures, in the mind of these otherwise innocent children.

Buddhism philosophy. Very efficient...

One thing that I like about the right wing politics in Thailand. If a non-Thai individual wants to enter Thailand, this individual has to prove that it will not cause a burden to the country. Must have merit and must show a possibility of benefit for the country. Those who manage to come in and commit crimes, at least they do it with their own resources... Excerpt... ""The debate raises broader questions about how the UK balances humanitarian obligations with maintaining public safety in immigrant housing."" Organizations, political or otherwise, managed to bring in a narrative that got people to believe that is is a good thing to take other people's money, collectively only, to give to other people, something that individuals would not want to do from their own personal savings. Time to wake up in left wing countries... Way time....

Is there a father in the family of that that aggressor? If there is a father, he would have to be a psychopath to explain such a behaviour... I am always amazed that these violent acts seem to happen so often, when i have never heard of anything similar in my country when i was a teen.... The absence of a father could explain it, which would bring out the question, who really would be responsible for this tragedy.....

Just as I was starting to believe that religions were the only delusions....

What is important for Thai authorities, is that Thailand belongs to Thai people, who, strangely, accept all the left wing extra Conservative ways of life in Thai culture.. All cultures are the result of brainwashing, and brainwashing will make people accept so many weird things, from religions to powerful people designing ways to profit from the system, to..... immigration rules....
