Certainly no shortage of those in that area.

Indeed.... If it means more sightings of what was strutting through LK Metro Wednesday evening I can only say heaven help us.

Like other convicts, further clemency for Thaksin possible on important occasions
Not any way in the slightest.... has he had his head shaved yet?

My money is on him not spending a single full day in jail.......

Covid Booster Location Pattaya?
Well done, answering the Q rather than unwanted opinions on necessity. Might have to go to Bangkok for Moderna even if it can be found.

Another alternative is treatment in India, I would expect it to be cheaper than Thailand.

ATTA doubts efficacy of free visa plan for Chinese tourists
I think you are just venting. Tourists getting fined for various infringements rather than locals is what it is... don't break the rules and no problem..... do you believe they should rescind say the helmet law and sacrifice lives? E-cigarettes, give them up, get some willpower. man up, and smoke a proper fag! No problem getting a beer at 3pm in Pattaya I assure you, on the beach even. I kind of agree afternoon alcohol sales being restricted in supermarkets and 7-11s is probably not suitable for say Pattaya /Phuket tourist zones.... but just pop in a bar. I think Thailand is still a good tourist destination.

Definitely something going on at the Kasetsin wooded area
Like we see on soi Excite and near Nirun condo? There is also some market being built behind Numchai (Klang /Sukhumvit area)..... seems like overkill.

High hopes: Public Health Minister plants seeds for ongoing medical cannabis policy success
I suggest you don't go along with people who 'guarantee' without proof or reference. Use of the word vociferous in that context is more than questionable.

Thai Airways takes off in new direction with operational shake-up
I tend to agree.. codeshare nonsense doesn't change the fact that I will be on a terrible short haul KLM flight if I go via AMS, a miserable, likely late, BA domestic if I go via LHR and heaven forbid the abysmal one via Helsinki. Where the transit occurs, and who the short haul carrier is impacts my decision a lot.

Trying to read between the lines it sounds like they decided to close some branches.

Thaksin: Former Thai PM's prison sentence reduced to a year
I feel cynical, as well many should. I am only irritated by the miscarriage of justice,

Thaksin: Former Thai PM's prison sentence reduced to a year
Come now, he has had his sentence reduced to a year and still has yet to spend 24hrs in a jail. If he had heart problems suddenly, they were arranged too!

ATTA doubts efficacy of free visa plan for Chinese tourists
Thailand is pretty liberal wrt alcohol, and I do not see it inhibiting anyone, particularly Chinese... THB is cheaper than it was 5 years ago v USD. E Cigarettes are of concern to few. Police hunting foreigners, heck most complain police are inept here. Just a poor economic climate, high flight prices, and more alternatives ...

PM to look into extending tourist visas to 90 days
He presumably means a 60+30 extension...... somewhat easier than depositing 800,000 baht and spending 1900 each year and wasting time at immigration.

Thailand shakes up golden visa scheme, hikes prices by up to 500 per cent
Oh I don't know... more the problem is those that let the partner dominate them and take them for all they have. ie Mugs. Personally I have been a life-long bachelor and manage with a live in.

Thailand to boost tourism by easing visa rules for Chinese, Indian travellers
As has been stated before, the same visa requirements were in place pre-Covid and that did not prevent more than ample Chinese tourists, at the time there were many complaints about them and their numbers. If the security concerns that used to be there no longer are valid, that is one thing, so give them Visa exempt....if they still exist, to do so would be folly.

Couple Given Life In Jail For Torturing Toddler To Death, Seriously Injuring His Sister
These types of occurrences are so very saddening..... had a few similar ones occur in the UK recently too. The misery inflicted on innocent children I just cannot fathom....
