Thai Tourism Minister Urges Avoiding Stereotyping Chinese Tourists Amid Visa Policy Crime Concerns
Are we to have a free visa policy or a visa free one, quite different I believe?

Using Bolt with a credit card
And why did you have to pay this particular cab in cash..... does the reason invalidate some of the prior comment you made? Some of these older WIN guys I would never expect them to accept other payment methods than cash, in fact I keep plenty change to avoid 'no hab change' scenarios. And my Bolt profile says my preferred payment is cash so I should stick to that.... I expect I will get into the QR code scan thing in time.

Stray dog sanctuary’s ‘leash’ of hope in jeopardy as land lease nears end
Just baiting, I know there is a dog issue at Pratumnak, but if the place is full of kindred souls who will feed them and show them affection, well a good place for them to live then!

Air con, a fridge and sofa: Thaksin Shinawatra’s ‘VVIP’ prison life in Thailand
Doubtful..... other sick prisoners can likely rot and pass with little comment. Didn't we lose a Western prisoner not long ago.

Pol Gen Torsak tipped to be new national police chief
My Mrs keeps telling me of serious goings on relating to police here and many being removed and a few shot... involving quite senior members of the force. I haven't read much of it in English news.

A stark reminder of Thai "hospitality"
They have moved all the tills around again in BigCX..., I get a sense that the convenience lines for those with half a basket full are being covered less in preference for the big weekly shop. I let the elderly person with a single item pass me... soon that will be me!

Thailand’s food delivery drivers feel pinch as Grab, Line rack up losses
Tipping is another issue, I would like to see them paid a decent fixed income and not be dependent on mooching off customers.

Electricity consumption expected to surge in 2027 due to increased use of EVs
Or conversely, there may be complacency, that now private vehicles are not pumping out the pollutants, we can afford a bit more at the power station chimneys! Reducing that requires some focus and long term effort too..... along with public transport, goods transportation (HGVs and the like), trains, lawn mowers and many other sources, even rubbish disposal. I was in Bangkok recently, and despite the electric trains, I felt it unsafe to even breathe with the level of vehicle pollution.

Every Gents Club in Pattaya
It is putting it behind closed doors.... a more family friendly sight than say soi 6 at 8pm. Step in the right direction maybe.

Electricity consumption expected to surge in 2027 due to increased use of EVs
What triggered my comment, was when I went out to my vehicle yesterday. Walking through BigCX carpark, I passed quite a few cars/trucks with sidelights on, and engine running.

How much of that current consumption could be attributed to EVs ATM.? You make a good point well though.
