Actually, she plead out to a lesser charge which was a misdemeanor and not a felony. From Wikipedia: On June 21, 2019, a jury indicted Cardi B on 14 charges, including two counts of felony assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, stemming from the incident.[351][352] She was arraigned on June 25, 2019, and pleaded not guilty on all charges.[353] On September 15, 2022, she plead guilty to third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment, resulting in a sentence of 15 days of community service.[

Darn, and I have been saying Khop Khun Khraap. I guess I just like those extra h's, 555!

He reported favorably in support of the war effort by Russian forces. He was at times critical of how the Russian Army operated but was always pro=Putin and in favor of the war. Who or what organization decided to remove him is yet to be determined as there are quite a few possibilities.

Yes, a very good chance of that happening. Most likely by a bullet though.

The 45 day visa exemption was nice while it lasted. Now back to the regular 30 day visa exemption. It would be great if Thailand were to do this same program again later this year. Just have to wait and see. It's their country, they can do as they like.

It was a good program while it lasted. Maybe someday it will be back again. A friend of mine already booked his flights here for 45 days from mid-December to the end of January. He will probably take a trip out of Thailand for a week or so and then return before leaving the end of January. Sure the Thai government will make money exiting and then returning but they will miss out on the money he would have spent if he didn't have to leave.

Yes, this former athlete was denied parole on Friday. He will need to serve at least another 16 months until he is once again eligible for parole. I do hope that he is denied again.

True. US National Parks do not charge non-citizens higher fees. They also DO NOT charge non-residents higher fees. Everyone pays the same except for senior citizens aged 62 and over. They pay a reduced rate regardless of where you are from, what nationality you have, or where you live. You only have to be aged 62 or over.

A very unfortunate accident for this man. I feel sorry for his children who are now without their father and his parents. RIP.

I still fly Thai when I have to domestically. However, this topic was about international flights. Would I fly Thai Internationally again? Maybe. Usually the routing isn't as convenient and the airfare is higher than their competitors.

Thai Airways definitely has some financial issues that have been a problem for quite some time. Safety issues have also been called into question and I believe some countries have not allowed them to land in their country.

It's been my experience that Thai Airways tends to give better service to non-Thais over the years when I flew Thai. I saw a lot of that back in the 80's and 90's. Also heard a number of Thais complain about this as well. Didn't matter if it was business or economy class. Now I tend to stay away from Thai Airways as their fares are always more expensive than their competitors and the routing is never that convenient.

Thaksin has been out of the country for approximately 15 years. Lets hope he can spend another 15 years outside Thailand.

Maybe next Wednesday or Thursday?

"no more coup after the May 14 general election" Other than the May 14 part, you know how many times I have heard this over the last 40 years? I just don't see this happening if past history is anything to go on.

I've never really been a big fan of Phuket. I did like my visits back in the early 80's. Not so much lately (the 90's) and haven't been there in 20 years. I do enjoy a lot of other places in the south though.

In the scenario the OP outlined, I would definitely carry/take my passport with me. I'd also bring photocopies of the passport and relevant pages just in case.

I think "Big Joke" will definitely be down there probing quite a few from sun up to well past sun down.

It sounds like it might be a fun thing to do.

They have two Brazilians, and one player from Argentina. There is one luk krung player but he is listed as Thai nationality. I have no idea what kind of fan base or crowds that attend their matches. The stadium they play at only hold about 5800.

Not a naked woman. Really nothing more than a quick flash of the boobies. Yet the Thai authorities really got their knickers in a knot over this.

Get involved in doing activities that you used to do in your home country. If those aren't available look for new interests that you might want to try. There are a lot of expat groups that meet on a variety of different things. Most, but not all, also have a number of Thais involved too.

Yes, it is a good way to meet a lot of people fairly fast.

It still does! They are still going strong all over the world and in Thailand as well.

I think it would be a good idea for the Thai government to extend the 45 day visa exempt program. It is good for tourism and brings a lot of foreign money into the country.
