You don't think people dressing up in say police uniforms and getting up to no good is a problem? Or people impersonating monks?

Pattaya roads - scary stuff !
I do more clumsy and absent minded things these days in Pattaya... I had been struggling with road crossings anyhow, after an ankle injury caused by missing tiles on the pavement.... that injury was on the mend until Sunday when someone popped out of a doorway and yelled 'massage' in my ear, and I sidestepped into another hole due to a missing pavement tile. I need to buy a clown suit!

Justice Ministry Accused Of Granting Undue Privileges To Thaksin
He has been sentenced to 8 years in jail..... let him at least be treated similarly to others with a similar sentence. If there are reasons not to, like ill health, let it be dealt with openly.

New PM Srettha Meets with Caretaker PM
Strong feelings of insecurity and nervousness Covering the groin area can also send a message of submissiveness, shyness, and innocence. Not sure about that!

Pattaya roads - scary stuff !
I had one a few months back when a fast moving motorcycle on the wrong side of the road was real close as I foolishly crossed between stationary vehicles......as one gets older it certainly gets harder. Don't trust crossings.....

Coffee Machine
Yes I enjoyed my frothy freshly brewed morning coffee for many years..... even acquired the Saeco machine when I moved out of my rented house, as the landlord could not refund my deposit..... then it broke, and I discovered how much parts and a new one cost...... now a coffee is an enjoyment from one of the multitude of coffee shops when I am out shopping.

Thai economic recovery slower than expected, Bank of Thailand governor confirms
Why all this hubris among the Expat/retiree community would be my question.... acting as if they are doing Thailand a big favour by living here! They do it for their own self interest I assure you...... You added a lot of embellishment that I never actually said.... I too spend approx 100k/month, maybe slightly under, it isn't so cheap to live well here nowadays.... but a tourist will spend more if he stayed 4 weeks.... they buy flights, pay hotels which I do not, eat out more, travel more. And this idea of Expats giving 800k foreign currency to hold is nonsense, it is in Thai baht for most, it is not given, it is banked, and for sure they will want it back! And many even duck that by using agents. I think a refundable single payment of 800kbaht for 20 years is as cheap a chips! A major reason for Expats living here is it is cheaper. to live than home.

Thai economic recovery slower than expected, Bank of Thailand governor confirms
Hotels, transportation, entertainment, meals out... I know quite a lot of retirees, they are mostly economical in their habits. Not so many own houses.....

I did too, but we would like to think one might slow for one of those also......

Thai economic recovery slower than expected, Bank of Thailand governor confirms
I actually think it is likely the other way around,,, average 2 week millionaires spend a lot, retirees less so. Pre Covid it was being claimed the Chinese independent travelers were the ones who spent the most.
