The sad reality is, there is plenty things to do with ones money in these places!

Yes, I just went through that a few days ago... what really griped was after she left she came back and distracted the till girl to get a receipt acting as if I was not there.

It is possible he had the means to do better than the average prisoner, but 3rd world prisons are usually not places people like to be.

They will probably want to drive on the right side as they do at home....obstinate people... and they seem to get their own way in Thailand!

Any issue with Dongtan Beach?

I thought the fireworks were on again?

https://th.iherb.com/ Darn, don't blame me for the prices!

Don't waste your time, that guy could have an argument in an empty room!

It's an idea, but I doubt many will know about it and the impact hardly any.

He has a lot of them and they are not supposed to ride in the cab on the rear bench seat either!

I seriously ended up jumping up and down waving my arms and yelling on a crossing on 3rd, much to the amusement of the locals. Myself and a disabled falang and his Thai lady were trying to get across with the lights in our favour.

Meanwhile in Kiev.........

It sounds logical, but that was the approach a few years ago ... that was for far more pathological strains of Covid... is it really the best idea for less serious Omicron, and with a well vaccinated population? There is no appetite for turning the tourists away in Thailand!

Your memory fails you..... Initially people were being evacuated from Wuhan, back to isolation in the UK... struck me as folly but it didn't seem to cause any real outbreaks. It was caused by workers in the luxury leather industry, Chinese, returning to Northern Italy, where a few well attended local soccer matches spread it further, before local governments knew what to do. China was already locked down, Italy followed, with people singing from their Juliet balconies. It got to the point that Thais were recoiling from Italians here, not Chinese! Sinovac, it is well known, is not very good for the later strains, and the heavy handed lockdowns has left the population mostly open to infection, as they try to open up.... I don't decry all the efforts of Nations, and it appears China's approach was not a success, more a delay. But what happened in Brazil and Peru suggests to have done nothing , would still have been a bad result. Perhaps there was no way to beat this virus other than time. My other thought... there was some serious cover up going on here in support of China, who at the time was wailing they were being made to look bad after infecting the world!

Well it is all about money... but underlying businesses too!

There are reasons they do not have them that go beyond revenge...and some think being locked up for life is more of a punishment. Killing him with the stamp of government approval serves little purpose.

Yes I was going to mention the less discerning aspect of them. But making money and jobs are what it is all about. The real attraction is the sheer numbers that are involved, there is a limitless supply of gormless looking tourists, who don't mind a small room, a tatty bathroom, and are easy to feed and can be herded....no different than the old package tours from UK to Costa del Sol with chicken and chips in a basket!

Hmm another criminal whose Nationality will not be revealed !!

I hear you but a lot of Thais involved in their tourism miss them.

That explains a few things!

Most of the early Covid cases in Thailand were attributed to Europeans....it was a surprise as previously Wuhan Chinese featured much in visitors here.

It's about cycles not motorcycles. They can go up but not down, and have to be accompanied by a car. What a wonderful green cycling experience.... quite idiotic.

The New Year has yet to start and here goes someone spoiling it!

Now now, you wouldn't really want to.... can't see him singing Auld Lang Syne....

I have to watch for potholes so need more eyes than a dragonfly.
