And in English :

"Brussels sprouts are named after the fact that they were cultivated in Belgium in the 16th century. Knowing this little fact will also help you remember that it's Brussels sprouts, not Brussel sprouts, and it's Brussels sprout even if you're only referring to one sprout."

That's Flemish as in giant rabbits... not phlegmish as in having a head cold - right?

In my life have not seen so much hate between people and countries as the current state.

Let me know when you plan to hold your first meet.

This the English of the song thai people sing 8am and 6 pm.

 

Thailand unites the flesh and blood of Thais.
The land of Thailand belongs to the Thais.
Long has been our independence, wish sovereignty allowed to maintain it,
Because Thais have been united forever.
The Thais are peaceful and loving, but are not cowards in war.
Our sovereignty will never be threatened,
We will sacrifice every drop of our blood for our nation.
We are ready to die for freedom, security, and prosperity!

 

 

We happy and friendly and welcome to foreigner, but if you want to change/fight us, you will lose, sure. 

Our country, our rules. If you not want to fill out a Tm 30, then you must leave. Up to you.

What would you do if TM30 would not exist anymore? Complain about something else?

Or would you just be happy, have a beer and enjoy life?

If you think you would be happy without TM30 I suggest don't think about it, have a beer and enjoy life!

 

Ouch!

Hello Yinn, how are you today?

In my case, I spend the same amount in the local Thai economy as four or five average Thais. 

about 75,000 to 90,000 baht a month directly to the Thai people. and in my case I am bringing in foreign currency to Thailand, US dollars.

I have dramatically improved the lived of many people here. 

 

100% goes to Thai people. I don't expect anything from Thailand in return.

after all these years around Asia I did come to realize the majority are brainwashed when they started their school years, they way their history is teach to them and the reality of what really happen are completely opposite, in their historical teaching classes they make their country/race to be ...????

Best quote I've read on TV all day.

I've stated this in a number of other posts. The number of people on O visas especially those into multiple years that are arrested for committing what are termed felony crimes in US could more than likely be counted on one hand per year.

 

It really begs the question do the authorities know what they're doing? Labor is an expensive, finite resource. Instead of bothering with ANY of the bs in relation to O visas they could actually be using the same manpower to catch criminals.

 

The notion of being forced to report MF but if office closed can wait over weekend really tells all.

 

So everyone take ten trips a year and jAm tHE cONTRoLs.

“Some of the rules may not be modern, but we are trying to be modern now. We will not always be million-year-old turtles,” Patipat said. “But in terms of the law, we have no power to change it. It’s not under our authority … if you want change, you have to change the law.”

 

sounds like he wants us to change the law ????

 

"Although the form can be completed online, many foreigners complain it takes weeks, or even months, to request a username and password. Patipat said even his son had to wait two weeks when trying to report guests staying in his AirBnb (“He complained about it to me!”)."

 

Also he seems to have first hand experiences.

I understand how you think. But I disagree that.

 

i go to Nepal last year. I spend a lot of money. But is all for benefit me. So I not the feeling I “contribute” anything. I get what pay for.

100% goes to Nepal people. 

 

I not expect to change the Nepal law because I spend money there. There country, so is up to them. Same I go Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia before. 

If I go holiday USA am I “contribute”?

 

I think the money you spend in Thailand is the good value for you. You very happy.

 

Thomasbkk help build that school in Bangkok. He not get something, he do for some thai people, not for himself.

He not like me, but, I admit it that is “contribute”. 

But I think it expect to much to change the law.

 

*** maybe I understand the translate of “contribute” wrong way****

 

We have 30+ million foreigner come thailand this year. Impossible to control everyone sure. And SOME will be the bad guy, sure.

Some guy who live here long time already will do bad thing. Sure.

eg. If you drunk drive, kill the thai and run away. The police know that where you stay, because the TM30. 

 

Maybe our law not perfect, but only simple form. Just name and adress. 

 

If I want go USA for the holiday, must go Bangkok before, pay money, so much document about bank, live where, have the meeting with them and just because I young, female Thai person, maybe they say NO!

Is fair? Or not? 

 

If I can go USA, only must do a TM30, not go Bangkok before etc etc I would be happy for that. Easy.
