The British tourists still have the mind set that UK is a colonial power.   It's a form of white supremacy. 

Rather "orange supremacy" because Scots often are redheads. 

(except James Bond, of course) 

pre-Oslo Israel was a super nice place on Earth. Until sweet talker in fancy scarf and massive financial support "you know from whom" became legit. Than all hell began.

As Bibi said some 8 or 10 years "... there is the new generation of people that grew up with hate toward Jews"

And exactly correct is the opposite statement " generation of people grown up on existential hatred against Palestinians". It runs in blood of every person on both sides.

The only solution is to part them, as Trump proposed.

Or slaughter and chase the weaker one away.

They also tried to get their money back and didn't get anything.

Never works, unless use some vicious technics. But who would decide to go ballistic? 

Very upset Mr.S. had to hire fellas from "The Country of Many Rivers, Seas and Oceans" for 40% + 10% advance

And yes, "Triple Thirty" is still the most popular BS in farang-oriented real estate market. 20% ROI and 3X30

Interesting play with stats. It shows only WP issued in certain period of time. not a total WP over Phuket. So obviously the topic is not correctly made.

Otherwise we can see only slightly above 7,000 legally employed foreigners over whole Phuket? Seriously? 

Early 90-s I remember "purple crystals" in water at food stalls. Disgusting taste and didn't save me from getting severe infection. Just a flashback.

Nothing have changed over 40 years though. Your health is in your own hands, please don't count on primary school knowledge of some vendor who makes money on those "drinking water dispensers". 

No need to analyze "do they pour clean water", "how RO works" and "what is RO after all"
We are in TH. Almost everybody here had the "unlucky" case of "local responsibilities". 
Just say NO.
How difficult is it?

All of them.  In business or if you pay excess baggage.

My guess there were more than 378 camels. Most got away somehow without criminal charges maybe by cutting some sort of "deal" w/customs. 

Is it possible?

In 2024, UK authorities arrested 378 individuals attempting to smuggle cannabis via commercial flights and seized a total of 15 tonnes of cannabis

15.000/378 = close to 40kg per person.
Interesting: Which commercial airline allows such a luggage weight?

Reuters is one of the few unbiased agencies

Ok.  

I think this is very wrong and biased assumption. Out of all foreigners I've met in TH Brits were quite friendly and safe to deal, work and drink with. Unlike some herrings and mackerel folks. 

My guess is that they will abandon this "improvement" just month before "high season" i.e. about Sept-Oct. 

It is nothing else just fill'n'print webform, nothing to do with sophisticated Web 2.0 or some mega-database. 

Remember COVID cards and some fancy QR codes? same-same.

Which series are you talking about, Hawaii, Italy or Thailand.

Shame we didn't get a tasteful glimpse of Sydney Sweeney's bits in S1!   555

Today is Season 3 (Thailand based) Episode 7th is available to download and thanks God there're Fast Forward button and Skip.

Ratchayothin, Ratchadapisek, Lardprao roads are paralyzed. "Motosies" (not correct wording) are making fortunes! Fares are higher than during Big Bangkok Flood.

Back 15 years ago I met a guy who proudly kicked teen from his scooter for wearing German Swastika T-shirt. Not an Indian Swastika, but exactly Nazi's. So what? Did it make world better?
"I don't think so, Tim!"

Earlier, the Consular of Israel send her protest regarding school's costume show in CM. Oh, My God, kids marched in Nazi's attire/entourage!
Did it make any change? Nope, just noisy ripples in press.

"Starship Troopers" actors wore uniforms that resembled German Nazi's. So what? All we remember are boobs of the redhead and huge roaches.

Yet...

Prime Minister of country C. proudly applauded to Nazi collaborator. Did it make world better? Nope, it made it worst. Now it's OK & legit to praise them as "defenders of democracy, freedom and independence". 

Do your math.

Got a pic?

would you kindly be more specific? Might avoid some awkward question 😉

QR code leading to the page with all relevant pictures. very handy though. 
Before it I exactly what many done - laminated 50% reduced size copies in the wallet. 

I'm not looking for policeman in the wrong mood to argue "show me the exact article regarding my passport" 

Since 1997 only 2 times been asked "may I see your passport?" but why to rebel? 

will the developer collect insurance or will be refused on the base of "The Act of God"?

Currently in police custody, the arrested tourists are likely facing charges related to illegal gambling. Police have confirmed their use of a mobile app, detailing how it facilitated their betting activities directly from the comfort of beach chairs rented from a local operator.

"Police have confirmed"
Nope, kids, justice doesn't work zis way. 
btw XXI century, not dark ages of *******.

"superstar"? seriously? ROFL

Waiting in anticipation next episode of White Lotus and more shots of Lisa "Mook" Manokaban. It was eye-opening experience to see how unhealthy skinny she is. Very endogenous.
