I think there’s a difference in being not surprised and being confused with why someone is talking about a misfortune that they created- and taking pleasure in it. It’s don’t take pleasure in it- I am totally confused by it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Listen- no shade to you

- a lot of my comments here are spilling out because I’ve heard a dozen of these experiences this week. It’s just frustrating to me personally when people are surprised or want someone to fix something that they’ve already screwed up.

For all, I know you have a beautiful loving family in Thailand you need to be present. No shame to you personally it’s just that I’ve spent a week listening to people lamenting that were just honestly… Their time was up. It happens. I don’t wish you any ill will 😊

I took an opportunity to gripe. I didn’t mean to call you out specifically.

@Milan *******

ah yes- the golden years 😂

Covid 🤬 everything. Every government and all the easy ones for travelers used that pandemic time to tighten up 😭

@Francois *******

while I agree that this group is mostly pretty mean, I don’t know what advice we could give in a case like this?

It’s like someone saying “I keep cutting my finger a little bit every day and oh no I am shocked it fell off”

My analogies are trash today 🙈 - sleep, I need sleep.

but most people don’t really really understand what they’re doing and they’re just stumbling through. Terminology and laws are played fast and loose, and many just copy what they think they’ve heard others say they do and it works. Then there are agents who fix for a price and many of their clients honestly don’t understand how they’re still staying- they just stay.

A lot of layers in the situation but at the end of the day, just because you can get away with something doesn’t mean you should, so excessively? Any real traveler has paid a few gifts and bent a few rules but I get tired of people breaking laws and violating agreements excessively because ‘I can because there are loopholes- blame the system’ and then they’re legit angry when the system that overlooked it, suddenly doesn’t- like they are being victimized now because they can’t keep cheating.

Accountability is a rare and beautiful thing.

@Milan *******

just out of curiosity what time period was that. You had visa exemption that is a bit different. I mean still you used wiggle room but it is different.

@Julie **********

aaah yes. The insult that always comes when a bit of perspective or accountability might be suggested. Boomer or Karen. So lazy. So unwilling to reflect. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also a Karen is someone that threatens to go over your head and try to harm your employment, so get yourself together 🙄

A Karen is someone so steeped in ⚪️ su prem acy that they perceive themselves as entitled and are very demanding of how they should be treated. 🤔 Who is that in this scenario?

How many of these posts have I seen this week? They don’t realize they have created this?flouting rules but expect no type of result from that?

Soon others will suffer because of their sense of entitlement.

I mean, people living this way aren’t gonna suffer. They’re just finally going to be subject to the rules they were asked to abide by all along, but new people trying to come, people that want to visit, people that need a break -it’s going to be harder for them. Thailand is going to recede from mingling with the world again for a while and regroup. Can’t blame ‘em.

Thanks for checking in 👋🏼 ✨
