Immigration Biometric System Fails to Record Data for 17 Million Travelers
The OP stated that the capacity was 50 million visitors, and the cost was over Bt 2 billion. That's Bt 400 per entry, and even not knowing anything about IT costs, I am sure that is way over the top. But then why would any Government Minister care? All they want is their cut of the Bt 2 billion, so why should they even bother to check if the spec is OK, or if there is a need for a future top up budget? Now they are quite happy if another substantial sum is required, because that is another opportunity for a commission. Do you ever hear any news about this Government discussing, planning, or doing anything that is just for the benefit of the population? Answer - No. All they are interested in is capital expenditure from which they can take a cut. Unless and until that is sorted out this beautiful country and its longsuffering people will never be able to make real progress, though most of them have put up with it for so long that they have accepted it as normal. Hopefully the younger ones will grow in understanding and take more control. -

What's an "impressive" middle class income and savings in Thailand in 2025?
I can't even compare myself against 'mainstream farang' as the bar is so low its too embarrassing lol. Where i live, there aren’t any old boys dragging around their financially challenged partners, thank god. Thats why i moved here. Too many of those in pattaya. They all think they're hansum too 😆 Everyone looks great when the competition is tragically bad! -

Trump Joins the Axis. NATO Dead. WW111 Imminent?
Like this: https://babel.ua/en/texts/107260-is-it-possible-and-necessary-to-hold-elections-during-war-we-explain-using-the-examples-of-the-usa-great-britain-canada-and-israel And then there's this: "Ukraine’s constitution holds that the country may not hold parliamentary elections until martial law, in effect since February 24, 2022, is lifted, and for six months thereafter." "President Zelensky has stated that he will not hold elections on credit, nor will he “take money from weapons and give it to elections.” Instead, he has suggested that Western countries, especially the United States, that are pressing Ukraine to hold elections could help fund them, in this way sharing the financial risk. With funding and security assured, the country could potentially develop a legal framework to hold elections during wartime, he implied." https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/wartime-ukraines-election-dilemma Guess me misplaced the $300+ Billion the US already gave him as well as the additional $16 Billion that USAID gave him last year. -

Being black in Thailand
Unpopular opinion, I think America is the best place to be black in the world. Massively higher standard of living than their family who were not captured as slaves and affirmative action favoring them (called DEI today and widely practiced, including YouTube). It's going to court now on a federal level with Trump but they are the preferred race for hiring and universities. Thailand could be a step backwards for them in many regards. -
