Was given one yesterday, first time in ages I have seen one. Mrs gets them if I haven't lost them before I get home.

Leave it under the grill just a little longer dear!

The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) has revealed that automobile exports in May grew by 12.25% but noted that the domestic market experienced a decline in sales of pickup trucks and trucks after controls on financing were tightened. According to Surapong Paisitpattanapong, the FTI's automotive industry club vice president and spokesperson, the number of exported complete built-up (CBU) cars reached 86,358 units in May, a 12.25% increase compared to the same period last year. Export value amounted to 54.97 billion baht, marking an 18.91% increase attributable to strong sales in major trading partners, including Indonesia (65% growth), Japan (25% growth), France (24% growth), Malaysia (21% growth), the UK (23% growth), and the US (22% growth).

Well I am afraid their recent catalogue of actions has more than dispelled that opinion.

Perhaps the impact/ political fallout is indirectly pushing the market down.... the debacle is shedding a poor light on the government.

He was rejected by the police and thought politics his only refuge!

And own it!

Yes, blaming covid, like blaming past Presidents, can only work for so long.

Your time and inconvenience is of no consequence to them..... it's an irritation that mostly keeps me out of there and paying agents.

24th and 25th... I just booked a hotel.

Well they seem to allow Russian flights and accept their currency etc etc, what 'International' sanctions are there? Doubt they could pass any at the UN as there is the Russian and Chinese veto, and India and others will vote against. Sanctions seem to have little impact on Russia judging by them overrunning Phuket enjoying life... retaliatory sanctions against Thailand are unlikely.

A 'marrow' escape?

Fireworks Competition in Pattaya!

They are always harassing me for drinks when I go out!

Yes, they used to have elephants at Blackpool but couldn't source enough bananas.. so got donkeys.

I did not realize the UK was worst than any other place wrt this. Or have you been reading Dickens of late.

Countries simply do not have the facilities or resources these days.

Having to come back the next day for a bog standard 30 day TV, or Visa Exempt entry extension is not bog standard, usually achieved in a short time, the same day.

Not sure a first or second time tourist has the knowledge to avoid them.... places close to the beach or nightlife will be popular. Louts themselves don't necessarily avoid quieter areas too.

I believe the negative impression is reciprocated, with their fragile egos and wastrel attitudes. Might explain why getting a foreign/ farang husband is very much a target among Thai women.

I would like to think someone was verifying the story with immigration, that would be unusual!

Pretty sure that version of the word is not a racist slur, according to Quentin Tarantino!

Spread it liberally around Treetown?

And he is sickly, don't forget that!

No visa requirement for Indians should redress that issue!
