  1. Although most countries now issue passports with a validity of ten years it is advisable that passport holders who change their appearance significantly to the extent that they are no longer easily identifiable based on their passport photo should get a new passport before the current one nears expiration. Read hear what happened to a British female teenager at Egyptian immigration for the simple reason that she had her hair cut short. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13859545/British-girl-forced-strip-Egyptian-security-guards.html
  2. For what do you plan to use Thai bank notes in Canada? You will get a very bad exchange rate at banks and other money changers. The notes would look good as exotic wall paper, though, I guess.
  3. Why didn't the TSLA share price shoot up after Musk's speech at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania two days ago? Didn't the Trump-supporting truck drivers who were coaling Tesla drivers and blocking Tesla superchargers rush out and buy Tesla vehicles?
  4. Question: What do a woman's legs and butter have in common? Answer: They both spread.
  5. How do the automatic immigration gates currently used in Thailand work? I don't think they have a QR reader, because passports have no QR codes.
  6. That's a good question. I guess it is because in mph, m does not mean metre and mph predates the introduction of the International System of Units, which anyway some countries have not adopted as the mandatory system or, as in the UK, adopted it with a few specific exceptions, but we are talking about road signs in Thailand in this topic, I believe. Fortunately, though, it does not happen often that a space rocket explodes in flight because an engineer mixed up inches and centimetres. I have read about only one such incident so far, in the USA. I wish I could find that news article again.
  7. Yes, I heard about someone doing that. He found it difficult to manoeuvre the vehicle at high speed and had to weigh it dawn with lead lead pellets in the hollow spaces of the chassis,
  8. km/h, not KPH Source: https://www.bipm.org/documents/20126/41483022/SI-Brochure-9-EN.pdf/2d2b50bf-f2b4-9661-f402-5f9d66e4b507?version=1.9&download=true K = kelvin (thermodynamic temperature) P = poise (dynamic viscosity) M = mega (multiplying factor 106)
  9. Thailand uses the metric system, so it is kilometres per hour (km/h)
  10. Bob and Harry meet up in a pub and somehow the conversation turns to sex. Bob: You know, after these many years of being married, sex is starting to get bit boring. Harry: Why don't you try it the other way around for a change? Bob (horrified): What!? And get the house full of children?
  11. Currently, no discount.
  12. I'm seeing your post only now. How did it go for you? Emergency passport, aka emergency travel document, is what I would recommended. Most embassies can issue it within 34 hours.
  13. Thank you for your laudation of the Primitivo variety of Italian red wines. I have currently seven different brands of Primitivo in my cellar where I live in northern Italy, of which three are from Puglia but, alas, none is a Polvanera 17. If the number 17 in the brand name is the vintage, that mekes it 2017, ideal to drink now. Did anthing come of the talk about reducing or abolishing import duty and/or exise tax on imported alcoholic beverages in Thailand to attract more high-spending tourists? At what price does the Polvanera 17 Primitivo currently sell in Thailand? Where can it be bought?
  14. I don't believe this is true, as long as government agencies, eg immigration offices, are not eqipped to accept cashless payments. Is this topic about CBDC?
  15. I'm not sure if you are really human.
  16. An engagement between a "ladyboy", ie a person with a penis, and a lady, ie a person with a vagina, is not a same sex engagement. In other words, you are off topic.
  17. I imagine that a lot of people will get id of their smartphones in order to avoid this delay.
  18. Nobody is talking about an "exit sticker" This topic is about a proposed fee to enter Thailand. In other words, your post is off topic. From the news article in the OP:
  19. On what type of device? Personal computer (PC) or mobile phone?
  20. It seems that with every new government, a new constitution is written.
  21. Is this race a competition to see who gets to finish line first?
  22. Where are you clicking back?
  23. How did "the Nazi doctor" get into this discussion?
