New travel rules: Thailand’s ETA to shake up visa-free visitors
Additional regulations aren't anything to do with border runners and if you think that you're very naive. -

I don’t smoke anything myself but I’m sure it would be great for people who smoke dope, none of it would be wasted. -

Passenger Criticizes Thai Airways for Stranding Over 30 People at Arlanda Airport
When issues occur, the response of airlines is 'always' terrible... ... and considering that 'issues occur' the lack of preparation and extent of disorganisation even amongst reputable airlines is terrible. Turkish Airlines: had a boarding pass, flight over booked - refused boarding at connection. Was offered €250 compensation (if I signed there and then - was told we'd get nothing if we didn't sign - Airline staff lying) - 6 hrs later got to the layover hotel, staff told me it was going to be a 5* hotel, it was a sh** hole (airline staff openly lied again) - travel delayed 24 hrs. Filed a claim with the airline, they refused the claim for compensation. Went through an ombudsman (ADR) - received €600 after 5 months (law states it should take less than a week). Emirates: Major delay (10 hrs), it happens. Missed connection. Taken to hotel after 5hrs messing around at Dubai Airport - Hotel full, messed about for another few hours, taken to another hotel - delayed nearly 48 hrs - Airline tried to pull a fast one and not pay the €600 for my Son. Etihad: Got married, they wanted to charge $200 for a name change (Wife's surname). Eithad: Extreme damage to baggage (push-chair - snapped in half), Airline rejected compensation claim. Ombudsman, took my claim on as a valid claim, Airline rejected the claim for the cost of the pushchair, next step was legal proceedings, not worth it for a £300 pushchair) - never flew the airline again. Thai: Injured overseas (2 days before travel) - needed a wheelchair at airport (couldn't walk - due to leg injury) Airline not responding to e-mails. Unable to get through to right people on call centre (i.e. call was answered, but redirected, no response from people it was redirected to) tried a few times, time being wasted - Wife pulled connections and got it sorted through a friend, worked out in the end, without Wife's connections I would not have got through to Thai and would have struggled through the airport. Qatar Airlines (Covid times) thailand announced it would open boarders - I was naive and bought a ticket. Thailand's borders didn't open - I contacted airline, they'd sold a ticket on a route that was not open. Asked for refund, refused, they said they couldn't refund until flight was cancelled, ask them to list 'any flight' into Bangkok which had not been cancelled in the past week - my flight date approached, 2 days before theoretical travel date Airline cancelled the flight - took 5 months to get a refund, I had to threaten legal action as they only wanted to give a partial refund (*70%) - got the full refund. In short - contrary to their marketing about what a wonderful service is provided - Airlines have some of the worst customer service of any industry when the metric is how things are handled when things go wrong - they lack organisation and even though plans are always in place to account for delays etc (deals with hotels etc) - the messing around takes way too long, the staff are not wholly honest... ... the worst part of all of the issues is the terrible communication - People understand that issues exist - its the unclear, poor, delayed or non-existent communication that winds people up - and this often borders on dishonesty as they airline attempts to minimise their exposure instead of owning the issue as they are legally responsible to do. -

Arrest of Pakistani Man Foils ISIS-Inspired Plot to Attack NYC Jewish Center on October 7th
Oh, are they all the same then? They're in lockstep and every Muslim country reflects the thoughts, actions and desires of every Muslim outside of that country? You know that this is a definition of Anti-Semitism if you replace "Muslim" with "Jewish" right? This is why Islamaphobia is a cancer just like Anti-Semitism and should be opposed in every instance, it inevitably moves onto the next vulnerable group because bigots pretty much hate everyone who is not like them, just to varying degrees. -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
By the way, for you ReverSharger app users you will notice there are around two dozen "Shell" chargers also shown in the app....they are the ones using the seashell icon. Anyway, it sure appears theses Shell chargers rarely get used. A few minutes ago I clicked on almost everyone of those approx two dozen Shell DC chargers and not one of them was is use....always showing all DC chargers available. On previoius days I've done the same out of curiosity ...I don't remember I've ever found a Shell charger in use. Now, I'm sure some of them get used sometimes; it just I've never seen them in use on the app or when I happen to drive by one and can see it. I expect they are rarely used due to their Bt10 per KWH plus Bt10 per hour parking fee where most other charging companies are around Bt8/KWH and may not have a parking/reservation fee. So, since they are rarely used they might be a good choice to use if heading on on a long trip and you are looking for a DC charger that has a very high probability of being available when you arrive at the charger. But as mentioned they charge more than other charging companies....but at least you could immediately charge up and get on your way again. -

Those funds have been in the bank since prior to 31/12/2023 and will stay there. I live on rice and fish caught from the river, one meal a day 🙂 -

Do You Believe: Next year, and the next, will be HOTTER than 2024?
When Hannibal crossed the alps the mountains were snow free. People have always adapted to climate, they even live in the Amazon jungle and lived during the ice ages. Harvests will change although man's ingenuity knows no bounds, there are now flood resistent and heat resistent rice strains -
