Why choose an e-visa over the 60-day exemption?
They (Thaksin) tried limiting the days allowed in Thailand back early 2000's. The issue was the IO's where there trying to count days, which took way too long and had immigration ques all backed up, so that didn't work well and was ended. Maybe now that it's all computerized they could do it, but I doubt it. Immigration keeps rules vague so IO's can make up their own interpretation of the rules to keep the cash flowing. -

Speculate. What is in Greenland that makes Trump say it is vital to US security?
What Trump certainly doesn't realize is that maps using the Mercator projection method severely exaggerate the size of Greenland. Even though he loves to downplay climate change, Trump figures that soon Greenland will be prime waterfront property. Don't forget he's the greatest at whatever he does or even thinks about. -

Is it one rule for them and another rule for us?
The women do get a say. Hence he becomes Mr. Incel not Bob. Not much more to say about it. -

Is it one rule for them and another rule for us?
I know the drill completely. I’ve been through it dozens of times over decades already. It’s the same old grimy sh*t every time and you can see it coming a mile away. As I said, they’re just trying to pigeonhole you as another dumb foreigner with a peasant-class, rented wife. They’re not interested in hearing that you’ve found yourself a great, loving partner who cares for you and that it doesn't matter to you where she's from. They’re only trying to boost their own egos by laughing about another rich foreigner in Thailand who is just another dumb fool that can’t find himself anything better. It's a coup, and you need to cut it off at the pass before they are able to ambush you. Hit them with a response that they never would expect, and this immediately diverts them from their mission. Don’t get upset because they're not smart enough to deal with anything but the response they are expecting from you. So tell them anything you want, it doesn’t matter. Have some fun with it so that it doesn't do your head in. Only make sure that whatever you tell them is the furthest from the truth. Tell them that you have a French wife who is a fashion model. Tell them you’ve got five Thai wives, one from each of the north, south, east, west, and central Thailand. Tell them your Thai wife is rich and that her family owns a hospital, a factory, or a school. Whatever, it doesn’t matter what you say. You're never going to be breaking bread with any of these plonkers again. Just don’t let them beat you to the finish line. And to be honest, a Thai man who has any respect for you wouldn’t even ask if you have a wife from the northeast soon after he meets you. I honestly find it to be one of the most disrespectful and offensive aspects of being a foreigner in Thailand. I rarely get hit with it anymore though, mainly because I’m almost never in those situations where I'm chatting with a random local guy, but, whenever it happens, I make sure they come away with nothing satisfying from the exchange so that I don't walk away with another bad taste in my mouth.- 1
