For retired expats What do you do for excitement
Hanuman2547 replied to kingstonkid's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Don't know. I'll tell ya when I get there. By the way, how often does this similar thread get posted? Twice a year, three times a year? -
Thai police arrest 48 Rohingya on bus in Ratchaburi Province
Hanuman2547 replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand
Hopefully they will not be returned to their country of origin as the ruling government there does not respect any form of human rights and especially if you are a Rohingya. -
Charter Flights Bringing More Russian Tourists To Thailand
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
My luk krueng son has been on holiday here in Thailand with farang friends of his from university. They did a couple of boat tours in the southern islands. He said that on his boat it was all farangs and a few other Asians but no Thais. He talked with the boat crew, in Thai, about all of the tourists they are getting. Their reply was that this group was a good group but sometimes he gets a lot of Russians and Israelis. Apparently neither group is liked too well by them as they are very rude. -
My luk krung son came to Thailand a couple of weeks ago. He has both Thai and US citizenship and current valid passports for both countries as well as his current Thai ID card. As he lives and works in the US, he just used his US passport for all instances when required to show a passport. Also used the US passport when making his airline reservations. He is only in Thailand for a month so no visa issues. Now if he were staying longer than 45 days then yes, he would have entered and exited Thailand on his Thai passport.

Japan is the number one destination for Thais
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
On Sunday there were a lot of Thais on My JAL flight from Tokyo to BKK. There were at least three Thai flight attendants as well. -
Pretty much the first one was. The second one a little slower.

Is it possible to buy an e-bike in your home country and then have it shipped to Thailand? It would probably be a better e-bike than what you could purchase locally. I have no idea what it would cost to ship as freight. There's also the issue of getting it out of customs. If it is brand new they might even add on a tax for that.

US to help Thailand develop small nuclear reactors
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand with nuclear reactors? I see nothing but problems with this scenario. -
I ran the River Kwai half marathon once back in the 90's. Singha was one of the sponsors and in their finish bag that they gave you at the finish line was a can of cold beer. A lot of people don't drink so someone gave me their can and I knocked down two cans quite quickly. This was probably around 8 or 8:30 in the morning.

Import personal used bicycle
Hanuman2547 replied to Winston Smith 007's topic in Cycling in Thailand
I brought in a used road bike in 2018 in a soft sided bike case. No issues at all bringing it through the green channel. -
"Dr Philip Leong and a Mr Gerber from the university's justice faculty wanted to know how Thailand handles human trafficking and illegal fishing." I'm assuming that Thailand handles it very differently than they do in the US. Perhaps Pol Gen Surachate Hakpan can explain the use of brown paper envelopes.

In my experience in the US, I knew several Thai couples that were in grad school either working on a PhD or a Master's degree that were living together. They were certainly not from lower or lower middle class status in Thailand. If anything, they were from the upper classes.

Cambodia is better than Thailand. Change my mind..?
Hanuman2547 replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If you like it in Cambodia then that's great! I'm not here to change your mind as everyone is different and like different places. -
ATM ate my card and locked up
Hanuman2547 replied to Noisyaircon2020's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I do the same thing. I like it if the bank has an ATM machine inside the building to hopefully discourage thieves from attaching a card skimmer to the ATM. -
Many Pretty Girls in the Pattaya Bikini run this Year!
Hanuman2547 replied to kingscliff's topic in Pattaya
It's a good event and from the youtube videos I saw it looks like a lot of people having a good time. -
Gen Prawit confirms Thais Can Watch World Cup
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Will they allow bars, pubs, restaurants, and other entertainment places to remain open for some of the matches that will be played well past 2:00am Thai time? -
Thai F-16 Fighters In Recon Mission Along Border With Myanmar

One corrupt and unelected regime keeping tabs on another corrupt and unelected regime using non-cutting edge aircraft. -
I don't claim to be an expert, but the Beretta M9 series has undergone a few design changes since it's introduction in 1985. It typically has a magazine designed to carry 15 or 17 rounds. In 2021 the latest version, the M9A4, came with an 18 round magazine and some other upgrades. They do make some extended magazines (20, 30, 32, & 35 round) but these are not conducive to carrying the firearm.

Yes, if you want to attract this type of tourist then make an easy visa that is good for six months that they can obtain in their home country prior to traveling to Thailand. A lot easier and less mess than having to waste a day or two going to immigration to purchase another short term extension to stay in the country.
