I'd up the above poster to 40,000 baht because a lot of folks living hand to mouth would not have returned 320,000 baht.

I would never go anywhere... Just for a visit.  By the time one adjusts after travel time, wasted time booking flights, it's time to return from whence one came.  What is the point in that?  Might as well just watch YouTube videos until one is fully prepared and ready to make the move to Thailand.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:07:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>God Bless the Second Amendment!</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395983-god-bless-the-second-amendment/?do=findComment&comment=20535847]]></link><description>95% of the people advocating the second amendment as the right for everyone to own a gun don't understand the amendment.  Exact wording: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".  Regulated militia meaning an authority says yes, you can own a firearm as you are part of this military necessity. The second amendment does not say everyone can own a gun. This is where all these right to bear arms types are completely off the rails.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:05:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Foreign Tourist Enters Phuket Property, Police Intervene</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395945-foreign-tourist-enters-phuket-property-police-intervene/?do=findComment&comment=20535846]]></link><description>This is all fine.

Some 10 percent, some 12.5 percent. Trump's initial tariffs were ruled illegal, but he threatened to come up with new ways to do the same thing. This is one of them. I'm for taking a stand against forced labor, but this is clearly just being used as an excuse for news tariffs.  www,en.thairath.co.th/news/foreign/2937130  US Plans to Raise Tariffs by 10% or 12.5% on 60 Economies Including Thailand, Citing Failure to Curb Forced Labor Goods The US Trade Representative's office has proposed additional import tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on 60 countries and economic zones worldwide, including Thailand. This follows investigations under Section 301 that found many countries failed to prohibit and enforce laws against imports of goods produced by forced labor. The US views allowing such goods into the market as creating unfair competition against American workers and producers. The US Trade Representative (USTR) announced a decision under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, stating that the actions, policies, and practices of 60 global economic zones failing to effectively prohibit and enforce laws against the importation of forced labor-produced goods constitute "unreasonable" acts that obstruct or restrict US commerce.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:16:28 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Visa Crackdown Signals Shift in Tourist Policy</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395940-thailand-visa-crackdown-signals-shift-in-tourist-policy/?do=findComment&comment=20535831]]></link><description>All the expats have their various long term style visas.

Majority of proper Engliah people are against immigration. For good reasons: It costs them in terms of property and rent prices and puts a massive strain on public services. If / When immigrants actually work it drives down wages. Many want to force their backward ways on the natives.  Thailand is a tinpot country compared to England but they at least have the sense to limit immigration - naturalising about 10 people per year. The rest are tourist on 3 monthly visas. We might not like to admit it, but it's a FACT.  UK Authorities are working against the natives wishes. Consistently.  Democracy is supposed to be Rule by Consent. People don't consent to this BS. Sick of it! Sick of foreigners being prioritised despite in most cases offering nothing to the nation. Net cost.  While you virtue signal as a guest in Thailandon a glorified 3 month parole visa a white family are having to bury their kid cos of some corner shop people who never integrated insist on being able to carry big knoives cos of 'mUh rEliGioN'. It's absolute ********* Thousands of families and wider English society has to deal with the fallout of 10s of thoudands of young girls being raped because Police were more scared of being called racist than investigating the widespread rape of native girls by foreigners whoive stupidly given Yookay passports.  As these Police are defending anti-white UK policies and assisting in rapes and murders maybe a few beatings, bottles and bricks and such would knock some sense into them.  When the will of the masses is ignored, they look for other solutions.  Thai Govt / Police would never let things have gone so far.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:06:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Visa Crackdown Signals Shift in Tourist Policy</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395940-thailand-visa-crackdown-signals-shift-in-tourist-policy/?do=findComment&comment=20535828]]></link><description>Is this happening more often, or is social media making it seem that way?</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:01:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Two Tier Policing and other justice in the UK.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395999-two-tier-policing-and-other-justice-in-the-uk/?do=findComment&comment=20535827]]></link><description>This is Two Tier policing in action.
