You thank Tod Daniels for info re crossing a land border and arriving at an airport. Is this correct?

Ditto.

Disgusting.....

ditto

Seems to me there are two kinds of responses on this thread: (a) from permanent expats and (b) from infrequent expats - that is, those of us who come to LoS once a year to avoid northern winters. Group A imagine that their reasonably untroubled life in the Kingdom is about to be profoundly disturbed by an influx of riff-raff from undesirable foreign locations. Even so, some members of Group A on this thread have acknowledged that they live in a region where "tourists" rarely infiltrate. Group B (those more likely to spend a fair amount of money in their limited time in Thailand) welcome this change in visa-free time, since it reduces time wasted in traipsing back and forth to Immigration for "extensions". If those in Group B do not, now, have to leave Thailand (maybe to Vietnam or Malaysia or wherever) their money saved from not having to leave and come back can be spent, instead, in LoS. Win,win all round. Group B, however, wonder why Thailand cannot have the same kind of visa rules as Malaysia (90 days) or Mexico (180 days) and many other countries with 90+ days.

A new thread for the AN detectives. My guess is that T.T. is not really T.T but TiT, This is Thailand, with an omitted i.

score at 90 = 2-2 extra time = 2-2 Spain win on penalties.

this service is long overdue, not only in Thailand. The NHS will soon be implementing this, as are some provinces in Canada. Amazing how many people tie up health care with minor complaints.

I think (but can't assert for sure) that it's supposed to be 60 + 30. Otherwise why the fanfare? (it's already 30+30).

Trump's greatest achievement in his short reign: pulling the US out of the Paris Accords of 2015. With any luck, Trump will introduce a tax that those who believe in the climate apocalypse can pay voluntarily, as a gesture to the idea of putting one's money where one's mouth is.....

Leicester, Islington, Rochdale, Rotheram, Bradford, and many parts of Birmingham??? (to name only the most obvious centres of riff-raff.)

but but but cycling in all that foul air?????? Must be like smoking a pack of fags a day....

You are living in Chiang Mai, but you have no "burning" needs? How do you manage in the burning season from Jan to April? Serious question.

Most of AN stuff seems to be generated by AI, so it seems quite possible that the OP is a fictional character created by some algorithm in wherever the computer is located. On reading 80-90% of first articles in AN these days, I immediately suspect that it is indeed "artificial", which is perhaps why so many of us get impatient with the "de-humanized" opinions generated.

Had no idea that the King was "two-spirited". No wonder the UK media are still interested in the royal family.

What's the betting that the litigants will be comfortably off middle-class types who don't give a toss if millions of less well-off people have to suffer the increased price of energy resulting from this insanity.

While the opinions of some GOP members may be a trifle OTT, it is hard not to notice that Fauci is an utterly unctuous human being....

I can't believe I've just read this tittle-tattle, but as I ploughed through, I couldn't help thinking of Succession and how Logan Roy would have dealt with this family squabble. I hear Logan shouting "<deleted> off" over and over again.

The shiftless Schiff....the champion liar of Capitol Hill....imagine the competition he has to overcome to win that award....

What exactly are you trying to demonstrate with this bunch of statistics? Most of the arguments back and forth re immigration on this thread are rarely based on racial considerations. It is religion, especially the "religion of peace",, that causes the most resistance to diversity and all the other lefty progressive insistence on inclusivity. Most people can live with racial diversity. Few can live with the demand for special status for certain religions, whose only aim in life is to re-create in the "new" country the hideous homophobia and misogyny of the $hithole country they have come from.

Ditto, UK, Germany, France, Canada, and many other parts of Europe (but not Hungary). Less said the better about the many millions of illegals walking over the US southern border between 2021-24.

It's not often we get such a 100% clear picture of the kind of ignorance, racism and virtue signalling involved in this damnable and divisive policy of diversity etc etc. Going back to the aviation example mentioned earlier: I would be more than happy to accept a gay, black, disabled flight attendant, but for the left hand pilot's seat of the 787, I would (IF such a choice were to be given to us passengers) like to be informed if the pilot has got there by merit or not.

It truly sickens me to see England play such cowardly football and still manage to inch their way through games. As usual they were helped along by an outside agent: normally their own incompetence at penalty kicks, but in this instance by the utter IDIOCY of the Swiss #1 penalty taker. What a cuckoo of a player....

The one non-boring thing you can say about the latest Prime Minister of Britain is that he is an Arsenal supporter. So long as England has a few key Arsenal players in the team, they have a chance of getting through to the Semi-Finals. However, Granit Xaka may have something to say about that.

Good. I hope there are many many more lawsuits along these lines. The whole concept of D.E.I. has led to the intense divisiveness that now bedevils so many countries in the Anglosphere.
