Thai Android users lose money in ThaID app scam orchestrated via SMS

Pattaya Vs Chiang Mai Friendliness
I was thinking about this only yesterday when a local surprised me with a 'Good Morning'..... Most Pattaya Thais are not locals... we get a heavy smattering of Bangkok visitors and they bring that big City rudeness. Pattaya Thais are nice enough but usually hoping to make money out of you........ When I first came to Thailand and toured a lot, I found Northern Thais to be the nicest, very friendly, followed by Eastern/Central, but quite okay around Korat, not to be trusted furthest East... and Southerners seemed stand-offish.

Thailand sees tourism growth skyrocketing to three trillion baht in 2023
I always believed tourism got Thailand off the ground all those years ago... easy money and plenty of potential for low skilled workers. The place was great in the early 80s. Nowadays there is plenty of industry to help the economy.
