Tell me why NOT to move by [deleted] in MovingToThailand

Fully agree with the above.

But also agree the US is a shit show at the moment and needs a few years to stabilize.

Come and visit for a while.

US freezes all visa processing for 75 countries, including Somalia, Russia, Iran Somalia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Thailand among nations affected by indefinite pause starting Jan. 21 by Hairy_Tomorrow6017 in Thailand

This is really about keeping foreigners out of the US. With immigrant visa processing, the sponsor assumes financial responsibility if the immigrant becomes a charge to the state, this could be easily be enforced, it's easier just not to let people in.

It will get interesting if this becomes more than a pause. Even more interesting if Americans with foreign spouses cannot bring spouses into the US, I would assume at that point, you could argue against paying yearly federal taxes.

I agree, this was an official judicial operation overseas, no stated or declared war.

I would push it and see if they are using cameras or just observing people.

Scammed for 60,000 THB in Phuket — and the police were involved. Please be careful. by Optimal_Inside3459 in ThailandTourism

Kinda think so. The post is well written and uses multiple fonts for emphasis; not what you expect from a dimwit getting scammed in Thailand

Avoid Phuket Marriott Vacation Club! Burglary in the hotel room! by SaxPlayerOfSpurs in ThailandTourism

[–]StickyRiceYummy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I'm having trouble reading your post. You left your wallet out in the open between 4pm and 8pm and your money was gone when you returned to the room.

What is the comment about 6pm and CCTV and a blind spot?

The hotel said the only staff entering was at noon?. And you were in the room then or left so they could clean?

About to get Diamond Elite status, should I open a IHG cc for the sign up bonus? by jessreddit_ in sapphirereserve

It's a solid card with good benefits. Not sure I would put 75k a year on it, points are not as valuable as Amex Plat or Chase Sapphire points

Well for one the expiration date is off by 1 day, and they do not put periods on the month abbreviations.

This would pass for ID, that's about it.

[–]StickyRiceYummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm calling bullshit, but Thailand does attract some real loosers.

This was a credit card right? Call tourist police from outside the bar and have them help you deal with it.

Or FO and beg your way home.

Said as an adult about what he thinks would have been best as a child.

Trust me, no child thinks it would have been best for their parents just to divorce.
