Thailand Eyes Higher Tourist Tax for Foreign Visitors

Thu, 21 May 2026 09:18:20 +0000

That was a policy across most East Bloc countries, I think. You couldn't enter with their currency either. Had to declare it and pick it up prior to exiting. But at the exit you came up against the same/different rule: you couldn't exit with their currency. Effectively, in such a situation, you could visit your money when you entered/exited, but that was all.

Thanks though it’s not a political analysis, just a simple analysis of the irony of your own prejudices and disposition which is of course a matter of record, am the least bit bothered as it’s your right to be as you wish.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz has already been found guilty of assaulting the female police officer (Lydia Ward) and is in jail awaiting sentencing. Hopefully the CPS will move for a 3rd trial for the assault on PC Marsden. Maybe that will silence the social media 'outrage' by the extreme right.

Bombs of Sweet Mercy: We Must Do The Needful In Iran

Is Mullahs another word for MAGA's, because as far I can notice, that are about the only ones that are detached from reality. And then I don't mean only about the Iran war.

From STATEMENT OF MAYA WILEY, PRESIDENT AND CEO THE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE ON CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS at the 20 MAY 2026 Hous hearing on SPLC Over a dozen donors have said that SPLC spent their donations in ways they hoped it would. Former DOJ prosecutors and a whistleblower have flagged serious flaws in this indictment and the rush to get it. As in other politically motivated prosecutions, perhaps conviction is not its goal. https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/wiley-testimony_0.pdf NB As far as donors who would support the prosecutors, so far the Feds haven't said they have any.

I recently queried my insurance policy. The confirmed that you can ride a motor bike up to 125cc wearing a helmet and having a UK motorcycle licence and no endorsements. No mention of having an IDP. For riding a motor bike personal liability was not covered. Passenger on motorcycle taxi was not covered. I asked about intoxication and they said not covered if drunk. I said what does that mean, there are levels of being drunk. He went away and came back and said "can't stand up". I was expecting to be told a blood alcohol level. So I guess if I was found lying in the gutter then drunk. If just staggering back to the hotel then not drunk, by the definition of the insurance company.

Chinese Tourist Dies in Pattaya Hotel Fall

Whether he "accidentally" fell off the balcony, or it was intentional, one would think, or hope, that one's final exit would be more peaceful, not in such a dramatic, very public, messy way at 3:30 in the morning, blood and glass shards scattered across the entry-way and dripping from the ceiling, body dangling. Late revelers arriving back to their holiday hotel getaway, only to see someone else’s nightmare, having to stepping through the blood and underpaid hotel staff having to hurriedly mop up. And from the picture of the room, it was directly poised above the glass ceilinged entrance. Unfortunately for only too many, including the roommate traveler still asleep come morning, to awaken to such bleakness and interrogation, aside from the decedent himself, no longer cognizant, let alone alive, to bear witness to his no-doubt drunken folly.

Is quality of life worse in developed countries than in SE Asia?

Thu, 21 May 2026 09:07:15 +0000

Depends on circumstances but if youre genuinely rich, the west is still the place to be but lower down the socioenomic classes you're probably better off there - it's why 99.9% of expats in Thailand are working class (ex=builder, postman, mechanic etc). In Europe it's essential to have enough money to get away from the underclasses - whites and foreigners who are prone to noisiness, crime and general aggro. They're truly gross and western laws tolerate them for some reason. But, if you can stay away from them , and have money to travel now and again, West is best. Thailand is boiling hot - too hot - Yeah you get somewhat used to it, but that's the main probem for whites ime.

Bombs of Sweet Mercy: We Must Do The Needful In Iran

Thu, 21 May 2026 09:03:40 +0000

The IRGC and Mullahs, hiding in cold and wet caves, are increasingly detached from reality. 1) Their ranks are so depleted they are drafting old ladies. This woman should be teaching her daughters how to make Chicken Biryani for their husbands, but instead she has to listen to a punk discuss the finer points of Kalashnikov rifles. 2) This Iranian technology expert goes on STATE television and has a fantasy about sending a bomb into low-Earth orbit and taking out all the satellites. He has lost his sanity. 3) Today Iran released a map showing new boundaries for the Straight of Hormuz. This is more delusional than taking down Starlink. A needless provocation, it can only be seen as a message from a defeated psyche asking President Trump: “Maybe we have another?” Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of CENTCOM, confirmed my analysis of the Iranian leaders. When testifying to Congress on Tuesday, he said: “More than 2,000 strikes against Iran’s command-and control structures created leadership vacuums, paralysis, and internal confusion. We have seen reporting of desertions, personnel shortages, and signs of regime desperation in their attempts to compel discipline through arrest and execution.” The Iranian leaders have no financial future because economic assassin Scott Bessent destroyed their crypto and bank accounts. The UK and Thailand still haven’t recovered after Bessent had his way with them, and the Iranians (good with money) know they share that fate. The United States must put them out of their misery with: hypersonic missiles, suicide drones, Space Force, and traditional bombs dropped from planes. The question is when, and there is an important factor. The annual pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of Muslims to Mecca begins May 25. Saudi Arabia and others asked President Trump to delay attacks until those people are safely out of the way. But there is something Iranians and their culture can’t conceive of: Yankees don’t give a about religious holy days. On December 25, 1776, instead of celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, General George Washington led his men across the icy Delaware River and surprise-attacked 1,500 German mercenaries, capturing more than half of them in a decisive victory against the British. Prediction: bombing begins soon. Then, the Iranian people can rebuild into a healthy and happy country.
