  1. They are at cross purposes again. One spokesman says the Thai birthrate must increase, another wants to export Thai ova and sperm to bring more foreign exchange into the country. Sit back snd enjoy the comedy.
  2. Thank you for pointing this out; I have never noticed it. Risible.
  3. Male or female, no immigration official will be satisfied with a fotreigner's presentation of the pink card on arrival at an airport or land border checkpoint.
  4. The "pink card" to which you are referring is a Thai ID card in the sense that it is issued by the Thai government. There is the Thai ID card for Thai nationals and the Thai ID card, of pink colour, for non-Thai nationals. Images of both types are shown in the OP.
  5. Disregard the laughing icon. It is meaningless, because it can have too many different meanings when used as a reaction to a post.
  6. This topic is about domestic flight departures. Customs are not involved.
  7. Never expect a regular dictionary or a machine translation to give you a "translation" of an idiom or a proverb. Instead, use a ChatGPT to to give an idiom or proverb with the same meaning in the other language. Alternatively, use a special dictionary for idioms and proverbs if you can find one for the respective languages.
  8. Finally, someone who gives an example of a Thai text he translated with Google Translate. Thank you. I copy-pasted the text into the Google Translate app on my Android phone and got a better translation: I find the expression พ่อหาแม่ a bit unusual. It usually is only พ่อแม่, which translates as "parents" but in conversation is often used as an exclamation, for example to express frustration, and can be translated something like "for heaven's sake". I asked Google Bard about it, with this result:
  9. 1. Do you mean for a few moments immediately upon rising from the bed or the whole morning? 2. What is the indoors carbon dioxide level?
  10. "Long distance buses from Swampy (airport bus station)" I tried to help, but neither "Swampy" nor "Long distance" are on Google Maps.
  11. I don't understand what you mean. Some foreigners in Thailand paying taxes for other foreigners in Thailand?
  12. I am surprised that the FDA allowed the inclusion of the text that translates as "no flavour enhancer MSG" in the list of ingredients.
  13. What is the connection between the ingredient INS 260 and MSG (monosodium glutamate), the substance the OP is cocerned about?
  14. According to the Shettles method, the depth of penetration does matter. ...The method claims the ideal position for conceiving a boy is one that allows the sperm to be deposited as close to the cervix as possible. The position suggested by Shettles is with the woman being entered from behind, which allows for the deepest penetration... It would appear that this "male child hunting" business has not been orchestrated very well.
  15. Your link brings me to a Facebook page showing the rules for a Facebook group. Poor attempt at advertising a Facebook group. Is it your Facebook group?
  16. electocute to kill someone by causing electricity to flow through their body Source: Cambrige dictionary "Miraculous resurrection from the dead" would have been a more appropriate story title.
  17. The EURO 5 standard – what should you know about it? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.autodna.com/blog/the-euro-5-standard-what-should-you-know/%23:~:text%3DThe%20EURO%205%20standard%20determines,well%20as%20for%20the%20motorcycles.&ved=2ahUKEwjs_s3lrMGDAxVia2wGHUm2CEkQFnoECBMQBQ&usg=AOvVaw1cIxPZR2BKYlynx1jke0wW
  18. I believe that the idea of tax-free shopping at the destination airport started somewhere in Europe with the intention to reduce carbon dioxide emission by aircrafts that were carrying tons of passengers' of duty free goods from one country to another.
  19. @GammaGlobulin Libra is a nifty app for Android phones to record the weight and see the trend.
  20. Talking about insemination, has no fool-proof technology been developed yet to remove all X-chromome sperms from the semen? The Ericsson method with a likelihood of only 50-70% of giving rise to a male child is highly inadequate.
  21. It is the rules that are currently in force that have been in place for years. The even stricter rules now being discussed are the ones that will be enforced if and when they are approved. It's a bit difficult to envision how the current rules can be made even stricter but I'm sure they will find a way if they put their minds to it.
  22. Once approved. Source: https://aseannow.com/?app=core&module=system&controller=content&do=find&content_class=forums_Topic&content_id=1315444&content_commentid=18576127
