I guess thailand already have big gay events (gcircuit songkran) that had so many gays comes during songkran, for either the free songkran "parade" or the gcircuit party and many other private event party. I guess this is very unique to thailand and i dont see local have issues to join the party/crowd. And of course another hugely successful white party gcircuit events too. Thailand night not hold the traditional pride but certainly not short of gay related events to attract those pink dollars.

For the mail in vote, some of the point i can think of about why they allow fornit to be pass polling day, as long as its postmarked by polling day, is to give equal time for campaigner to finished their debate, so all voters have all the information available to them at the same time, and given the same time to make their decision on who they are voting. The presidential debate was done up to only few days before polling, so for the undecided, they need to see both sides of argument before they decided who theyll vote. If you required them to submit their vote before each candidates finished their debate, then you are forcing the mail in voter to vote early without getting the same exposure than those who voted on polling day. It wont matter much for voters who already know who theyll vote though.

Yup, but i think they are not expecting everyone to spend that much, just expecting everyone who apply to have at least that much untouched for 6month hehe. The one that restriced me is still the length of stay, so until then, ill patiently wait.

Abomb closed already?

60-90 days staying in thailand is by no means mass tourism yet. I guess their aim are more to those who either retired, or rich enough to be able to take off 2-3 months for holiday. How they came up with that amount, who knows haha. Simple calculation dividing by 90days is about 5.5k baht per day. Surely that fits your budget? @vinapu Although if i were to stay there for 60-90 days, id probably wont be spending that much everyday lol. For a 1-2 weeks vacation id probably spent more than that a day.

Only usd16k in bank? Thats not unreasonable at all.

I mean i understand the issue, just perplexed that with all the modern technology advancement, we still cant figure it out. Although my quick search on google did found that certain state in US has already do some trials. On the point of fraud allegations, the same kind of argument can be used for mail in ballot as well. I guess its not the technology that is the issue but more so the resistance to change what is working. Apparently, Estonia did have online voting for their election. https://www.euronews.com/amp/2020/11/02/why-don-t-more-nations-hold-elections-online-here-s-how-estonia-has-been-a-lone-trailblaze

Worth to mention US did double pricing of epic proportion for international student tuition fee vs local too, mostly double or triple of what local pays.

Malaysia also have this dual pricing in a very limited attraction (i can only recall a few, for eg. the twin tower skybridge visit, penang bukit bendera) and the "excuses" is to encourage more locals to go to these places multiple times. To be fair, these facilities owned by gov and tax payer does support the cost of building them and the upkeep too. I can close one eye for dual pricing if the difference is not huge. Free vs 100 baht at wat/temples is fine for me. To be honest, if u go to these bars, you will end up spending more than 500 anyway, so no issues to me either. What itll do is kept away non-paying foreign customer? Its not as bad as what happened in Japan where some bars totally not allowed any foreigner to enter regardless of entry price. There is also a sauna in hongkong that only allow hunks/in shape foreigner to enter, while much more lenient with locals. I guess if you disagree with the practice, vote with your money and spend it somewhere else.

The logical way is to allow other countries to produce their own vaccines, and maybe charge royalty from the sales? Still not easy as not all countries have the technology.

I guess it is pretty obvious these clubs dont want foreigner to come to their premises. I thought only temple charges foreigner to enter and let thai enter for free hehe.

On a different front, MIT, with the used of AI, use caugh noise to identify if a person have covid or not, and can even detect asymptomatic person's cough. If this study pans out, it could make detecting covid patient/spreader as easy as shazam apps. https://news.mit.edu/2020/covid-19-cough-cellphone-detection-1029

I guess racist will continue to exist as long as we have race. It happened not just in the US but almost everywhere. But seems to be encouraged and applauded by trump, hence we can see the ugly face of it in the news/soc media. I cant say its any better here too.

I wonder why have we not move to voting online and yet we dont mind puting everything else online, even our money, stocks and investment. Just my sunday mundane thoughts lol

https://www.dictionary.com/e/is-the-coronavirus-a-plague/ Interesting reading that agrees with you. A more precise and politically correct term for now is pandemic.

AP, CNN, NYT, and even Foxnews have called the race and declare Biden the President Elect as PA called the race to Biden. Curious to see the next phase unfolding. Congratulation to Biden and all his supporters! To Trump supporters, try again next time!

I believed the TOP in the first page of profile means they are TOP profile as in popular. If you are looking for bottom, its pasivo. Too bad that piece of information is not on the first page unless the escort put it in the title. I did see one says activo in the title, which is the top, sexual position, and also found one that says pasivo in his detail description (need to click the profile). His profile pic does gives a clue, showing his ass rather than dick lol.

If the origin country allow for home quarantine, and the company allow for working from home, it seems doable. Singapore and malaysia had agreement for short term business traveller to self quarantine 7 days at home prior to travel, and 7 days at destination after arrival which i find much more tolerable. Too bad as of now, this only valid for work/business and not for tourist.

That too perhaps. Then there are 70mil racist moron in america. Scary thought.

When discussing this with my friends, one of them mentioned that politicians will always be politicians. Maybe this is why people vote for trump. He is not a politician by background, and those who support him are tired of the politicians? Maybe.....

American again and again surprised me in so many way. From an outsider point of view, i am amazed at how close a lot of the results were. U guys have 2 very different candidates and yet the result doesnt make sense at all. Fact is trump got his supporters in the masses. Its true in 2016, and its true again in 2020.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will have alook. Will look forward for this series too!

Where do u check the list of allowed countries btw? Googling doesnt help

Good luck to all! Lets discuss the result here and how it affected your area. Would love to see/hear members reports on site. And please keep the discussion civil. My current source is google right now.

Any of the BL series actually film in rural area setting?
