There is no 60 day tourist visa available at Suvarnabhumi airport. What is available (as long as the person is from one of the countries that are eligible for it) is a 60 day visa exempt entry. There is no cost for this, no need to go to a special desk, and you do indeed just present your passport at the normal immigration booths. The list of the countries that can get the 60 day visa exempt entry is on the link below. Tourism Thailand announces 60-day visa exemption for 90 countries

Not in my understanding of the term. Enforcement can be any measure taken by authorities to ensure that people comply with established rules, regulations or societal norms. Fining people for not complying with 90 day reports absolutely constitutes an enforcement measure, as far as I'm concerned. Also, enforcement doesn't require that penalties be severe, only that penalties be applied.

I'm talking about the Ukrainian forces in Kursk. Just for the avoidance of doubt, I am fully on Ukraine's side in this conflict, however the Ukrainians have made it pretty clear (IMHO) they are not planning to try to reach Moscow since they have cut off the very bridges they would need to use to get there.

It does seem as if Hua Hin Hospital (the local government hospital) is moving towards a GP type model. Each of the last 3 times I've been there (and each time for different conditions) they've told me I have to see a "general doctor" first and that doctor then referred me to the specialist for the type of medical condition I was complaining of.

Mixed kid living in Thailand.
GroveHillWanderer replied to kneebendingfools's topic in Family and Children
That's true - there's some totally contradictory information on this thread from the OP. The thread title says the kid is living in Thailand. Later on the OP says the kid is living in Sweden. Makes it a little confusing. -
Trump And His Feverish Crowd Size Envy
GroveHillWanderer replied to FriscoKid's topic in Political Soapbox
Seems like his supporters have other things to keep them occupied. And to think some people were accusing them of being weird. As if. Republicans Carry Around Cups of Fake J.D. Vance Semen -

The Tim Walz Drunken Driving Incident
GroveHillWanderer replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Just off the top of my head. Trump has cheated on his wives, he has cheated many subcontractors who worked for him (sending some into bankruptcy), he has cheated the people who signed up for worthless courses at his university, he has cheated banks by overvaluing his assets to get better loan deals, he has cheated the IRS by undervaluing the same assets, he has cheated multiple venues where his rallies were held (by not paying them), he has cheated many of his lawyers (by not paying them). Oh, and he also cheats at golf - admittedly a less serious matter but it just goes to show that he cheats at every single opportunity he gets. -
Trump is getting torched in the polls
GroveHillWanderer replied to FriscoKid's topic in Political Soapbox
Why would you do that, when the data shows that the US economy does much better under Democrats than under Republicans? Economic performance is stronger when Democrats hold the White House -
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on August 15 that Ukrainian forces had fully captured the Russian town of Sudzha in Kursk Oblast. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi confirmed that Ukrainian troops have seized control of over 80 settlements, with 1,150 square kilometers of Russian territory now under their authority. A military administration is being established in Sudzha, and Ukraine plans to create a "security zone" to safeguard its border regions and disrupt Russian logistics." Zelensky Announces Complete Liberation of Sudzha, Kursk Oblast from Russian Control Establishing a Ukrainian military administration in Kursk - interesting. I wonder what that portends.

So far, according to Russian sources the Ukrainians have taken 28 Russian settlements and a total of 12 civilians have been killed. Even if Russian sources are not overstating the casualties (which one would imagine they have every motive to do) that's less than one person killed for every two settlements taken. While every civilian casualty is one too many, that hardly sounds like "rampaging" to me. Putin told Ukraine controls 28 Russian settlements

Do you have sources for any of those claims? Not only are these required by Forum rules, without such sources these are totally baseless statements anyway. Just as a reminder, the rules for the World News sub-forum state as follows. "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source."

The post didn't say Russia was, "threatening the west with it's war in Ukraine," it just said they were making threats [to the west]. And if you've blinked and missed those threats, you must have been blinking an awful lot. Here's just a smattering of them (and there's plenty more where these came from). https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/06/russia-to-hold-battlefield-nuclear-drills-after-macron-and-cameron-comments Russia threatens UK military https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/russian-embassy-in-stockholm-threatens-sweden-finland-over-nato-accession/ Russian Embassy in Stockholm threatens Sweden, Finland https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/29/russia-condemns-nato-invitation-finland-sweden Putin issues fresh warning to Finland and Sweden https://news.err.ee/1609332807/russia-blames-and-threatens-baltics Russia blames and threatens Baltics https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn44r9zjnpjo Putin warns Russia could provide weapons to strike West

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
GroveHillWanderer replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
According to info on MG's website the "lifetime" warranty covers the specified components of the vehicle no matter how far it has been driven. It also applies to the vehicle's subsequent owners, not just the original owner (unlike many "lifetime" warranties). MG announces an extended lifetime warranty for High-Voltage Battery, Electric Drive Unit, and Power Electronic Bloc
