Trump popularity sinks as Americans quickly sour on economy: poll
well Biden is just a braindead worm was most of his presidential time and prior to that was useless for the masses while he was a congressman - he was the Kamala for Obama who was almost as useless as Biden was as a president. This has been and remains my honest opinion. -

Patong Police Crack Down on Reckless Foreign Tourist Riders
The very few times I go to Patong in any year I see the same police operation, at the small roundabout at the start of the road that goes up the mountain to Kata and Karon beaches there are two police officers, they only stop farangs motorbikes, it is a nice little earner for them. In the Kathu district of Phuket where I live, there are very few farangs, 99% of the motorbike traffic I see is Thai, most of them do not wear helmets and many drive very badly, eg when I am turning left into the road I live in from the two-lane highway many undertake me in my car on my left even though I am part way through the turn, thus causing me to have to stop to avoid an accident, many times when driving I am overtaken by Thai bike drivers on both sides at the same time, I would just have a dent in my car if hit, they would have a 'dent' in their body. I turn right at a major crossroad near where I live, bikes from the opposite side of the traffic lights are showing red but the bikes just turn left into your path even if there is a sign saying no left turn on a red light for them. Many just zoom onto the highway from the left without even bothering to look for other traffic, many times as you follow them you can not see the rider's face in the bike's mirrors which means they can not see you, they think mirrors are there to check on makeup etc. The police could just park up outside my gated estate and catch a bad driver or a rider without a helmet every ten seconds, the reason they do not is Thais can vote for the local government so they are allowed to do as they please. Isn't having a man, wife, and two kids on one motorbike considered dangerous driving, none with a helmet? Isn't young boys zooming off down the street from school racing his schoolmates considered dangerous, I have seen it many times over the last two years. I have seen about six accidents with motorbikes and as I drove past (ambulance etc. in attendance) I saw they were all Thai. The vast majority of dangerous bike riders on the roads in Phuket are Thai so why just target foreigners, they are barking up the wrong tree as usual. But as usual, of the millions of visitors each year a few of them drive badly, and they are then in the news, the millions of Thai bad driving incidents are never even mentioned as it is normal, it would be the same as reporting it is hot in Phuket every day of the year. 😀 -

Thailand Visa Exemption (60 days) and Visa On Arrival (VOA) (15 days)
On bookonwardticket.com it says that their onward tickets come with a PNR code and that this will serve the purpose for visa application. On the tickets, this code is often referred to as booking reference, reservation number, etc, even on fully paid flight tickets. -
