There's a thread as long as the Bible somewhere.

Boarding or Check-in? The Qatar check-in people at Brum are certainly thorough, coming back from Birmingham Qatar airways last year the clerk went off somewhere to check if I needed a return ticket with a marriage extension. All very apologetic said she hadn't seen one before, had to make sure.

I thought you were supposed be as rich as Croesus, just buy the bar and sack the waitress.

You should be able to change it online. When I renewed my passport in the UK two years back I had the same problem but with Qatar Airways. Was able to change passport details online for the return flight. Failing that surely if you presented old and new passport at check in they would understand.

If you need to check your investments daily you don't have much money.

Singapore citizens and permanent residents need to pay SGD150 (Bht 3,750) to enter the casinos in Singapore, there's no entry fee for foreigners. This is eminently more sensible, workable and enforceable than having to declare assets in the bank.

Not another trapped wind thread

Trump's Putin's dog.

HYFC is far superior

A CCTV camera?

Possibly they did depends on the options? Deportation or be boiled in oil!

My life isn't that small, I've never considered contributing to a forum as some sort of competition.

They're just a bunch of snivelling cowards, terrified to speak out of turn for fear of losing their place at the trough, or having Musk's X-troopers set lose on them and their family.

And Musk waltzes around in jeans and a T-shirt - you're having a laugh (Musk also gets billions of dollars)

I thought it was TV series

Apologise for what? It was a shake down, the new American mafia. The pretence of Free World Leader is shattered it's a protection racket.

As with much in life it's a matter of context. Personally no, Thais wear all sort of T shirts with slogans that are variously nonsensical, laughable or possibly offensive. If it was in a white guy in a pub in the UK it would be a different matter, that you could see as someone seeking to cause offence and confrontation.

I saw the article in Hat Yai Focus early in the week, they've put some signs up warning people. https://www.hatyaifocus.com/news-detail/27862/

Why does it matter?

Is that the best you have to offer? Prior to politics he worked for Rothschild as an investment banker, but I don't think he's worked as a waiter, girly or otherwise.

AN is a curmudgeon magnet I too find the average Thai to be friendly, I like Thais and Thailand, if I didn't I wouldn't be here.

Splendid wheeze

Is that the bruise Macron gave him with the alpha male handshake malarkey? The old man really should be more careful trying to out muscle a man near half his age.

Looks like a squalid tip!

I wouldn't put Hat Yai up there with "prostitution capitals of this kingdom", it's all rather discrete compared with Bangkok, Phuket or Pattaya. Sure, depending on the hotel, and whether the bell boy considers you're a likely customer, you might be offered special room service. Otherwise most transactions occur via the massage parlour and karaoke lounges. If Police Colonel Nattapong Koet-iem was really interested in tackling the issue he'd crack down on the Karaoke Lounges, which act as a fronts for prostitution, instead he's basically going after entrepreneurial competitors. As for bombings in Hat Yai, they are a very rare occurrence, I've been here over twenty years and there have only been 5 incidents in Hat Yai during that time and nothing since 2014. We have plenty of security in Hat Yai which is handled by the army not the police.
