Pattaya Police Raid Poker Gambling Ring, Arrest 9 Foreign Players
Exactly! The only danger is gambling dens where khun thai (plural) might spend their saving's money and even properties. They are very very crazy on "luck". So probably that made sense to impose that law. Also, there are thousands of websites in thai promoting/offering online gambling. During every big sport event pawn shops are busy lending money. I saw middle age guy (his 50s) leaving whole golden necklace with amulets for 100K. Amulets! He just pulled it from his neck and looked very agitated. However a bunch of foreigners playing poker for little thrill and nice cozy evening has nothing to do "forbidden subject". -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
"This is the peace for which Kennedy and Vance are hoping: A defenseless and small Ukraine that is dependent on Russia for its existence." I don't believe there are pro-Russian guys among the US politicians. It is simply impossible. Let's throw away illusions. Much more likely these guys just need some additional time for the new generation of conscripts to grow up. And they want to continue this war 2 or 3 years later. This plan eliminates the need for mobilization in NATO countries. -

You and your Thai Wife of 20 years.
A possible difference could be that "western women" increasingly earn their own money, therefore less need to marry a "wallet". As opposed to a large part of the Thai female population. -

LTR Health Insurance : Self-insurance with US$100,000 Bank Deposit
For 50 bucks you get a hassle free 3 month tourist visa to Vietnam, with no hassles compared to all the fuss on the LTR. Many retirees from the west who look for a winter stay in Asia, come to Thailand who only gives 2 months visa waiver then apply for the 3 month hassle free, multi entry visa to Vietnam. Far better then going through all the hassle Thailand loves to make on foreigners. No problem. well will spend the money in Vietnam. -

Move over ChatGPT, Meta’s AI chatbot now speaks Thai
Not sure if ChatGPT should move over. It's absolutely brilliant for generating word salads as evidenced many times on this forum. Speaks fluent BS. -

Bangkok Suffers Severe Smog as PM2.5 Levels Soar Amidst Heat Wave
The pictogram explains so much. There are days when Hua Hin air quality is very bad, coughing and phlegm level. Why would people want to holiday in thailand? What's the new slogan for higher income tourists? Come with white lungs and leave with a lovely brown glaze? -

LTR Health Insurance : Self-insurance with US$100,000 Bank Deposit
Thanks for your reply, Mudcat. I'm glad to hear BOI may be willing, conditionally, to accept CD's and presumably, money market funds, to meet the self-insurance test. Or so it seems to me based on the snippet of their reply to your query. If so, the BOI will have proven itself reasonable and praiseworthy for avoiding a senseless hurdle to the LTR visa. -

Does your Thai wife keep you on a short leash?
The comment I made regarding my education was a direct reply to someone who questioned my abilities which is why I made it, that seems reasonable to me. So using your logic I could also say you are insecure as you just told me all about your being a director of a board and retiring at 49 etc, your involvement in rugby, and the name dropping, why are you so insecure? Your comment ".......with your real or imagined educational achievements." I will show you my graduation photographs and my Oxford ID card plus my Oxford Union Society members card if you show me yours. 😄 Regarding English and US English, this editor has got a mind of its own and sometimes I do not spot the fact it has changed my English spelling to US spelling, it is quite a silly petty point for you to comment on. My comments on Footie supporters were meant as banter as I do like to watch the World Cup games when they are on. But you should be thanking me for my software engineering skills. Back in 1976, I had a summer job at a large insurance company near Bank tube station in the city of London, the boring job was to take a file, take a percentage of the cover, and work out the premiums, I think it was called reinsurance where a large number of insurance companies would share the risk to minimize their losses in the event of a claim on a valuable item. That has all been computerised now as the job was mind-numbingly dull, but as a poor student, I needed the money.
