Would have thought they could have had a QRA ( quick action alert ) in place same as most air forces saves the cost of flying aircraft full time on border patrols As already mentioned they've have early airborne aircraft Swedish aircraft use them as well -
I lived and worked in Thailand for 20 yrs now would I want to live as expat in Thailand nope The new sting the expat with tax when you when you have already paid tax in your own country. The low end tourists mainly Russians run the place phuket now the rude Chinese and the hoads of Indians. Thailand always works backwards all about the money not the quality or the type of quality individuals. When the <deleted> hits the fan they panic change all the rules and he we go again. Great to visit but to live to hard with all the red tape and the trailer trailer trash expatss and greedy Thais. Go to Vietnam way better

I will Enlighten you Bay Prang westerners are known as falangs throughout Thailand and is taught from a young age but you know that anyway don't you? Thai media don't use that term instead they call us Westerners but anywhere else we are known as falangs. Has this Enlightened you now? -
My apologies. Were the police officers trying to prevent Gideon Falter, the head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) from simply being there? My opinion, despite the protest organizers having a permit, is that he has more right to be there than the protesters. If the presence of a single Jew is likely to create an incident, then surely the issue is not with the single Jewish person being present. Maybe there's an issue with the entity that issues these protest permits? There is the 'preventing a possible crime' aspect of the police officer's actions being open to misunderstanding, misinterpretation and manipulation. The media's good at that. For me, it's akin to American law enforcement's idea of "criminal activity" when they observe a single black person, the 'walking while black' as black people call it. But before this war broke out, I think the British police were more inclined to take action on the 'walking while BAME' rather than 'walking while Jewish'.

Yanks are sometimes so up themselves we can't resist the temptation to extract the urine. We can still sell stories of drop bears and hoop snakes to the more credulous.

Inexplicable error message with “90 Days Online”
enigma replied to zenobit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I had exactly the same experience when I submitted my last 90 day report online. I had been using online 90 day reports successfully for over a year. I received a rejection email saying that I should report to my local Immigration office, which is Chonburi Immigration. They issued my 90 day report without question. -
Any Grab delivery, unless they totally <deleted> it up, 20 baht. When I got out to a nice meal, 20 to 100. That is it.
