There are bigger issues.......what other people do, and obviously should have zero impact on your life, should not stress you so. To go back to pre-Covid behaviour,, with 6.5 million lost souls, as if nothing happened would be a monumental mistake.... lessons to be learned.

I expect the newsworthy point is it appears to have come early this year.

I would not hold my breath, I have accepted mine has gone!

Oh dear, don't set him off!

They just seem to wave me on and I don't get the opportunity to join in the search!

Isn't it just..... Part of the problem is indeed them shopping and changing the configuration...... one day a set of lights are on, one day they are off, and there was once a through lane that worked well, which later got changed. They have made a right pig's ear of the alternative, The Railway Line Bypass, which has been renamed 'tour of scruffy backroads'.... which has been a suspension destroyer for over a year now. I have paid 10 baht and wasted fuel to use Hwy 36 and Hwy 7 quite a number of times, but beware weekend Bangkok traffic.

Dunno, where is it?

A lot of posters seem to want to turn everything into an opportunity to denigrate Thai people..... it is not even a comment from the Thai Government, rather TAT. I think they have done well to be in less of a mess than the other countries we talk of.

Looks like you may get attacked by a soi dog!

The threat of fines is all about us, hand written 'Fine 2000 baht' next to parking, smoking and littering warnings are plentiful. Nearly as abundant as foreign scofflaws!

You are really suggesting they are wearing masks on a motorcycle as a perceived protective measure against accidents? And some deride the locals!

The OP does not really say anything of the sort...... Mind you, with the UK talking about power black outs in winter.. on top of the high bills, Thailand looks like a good idea... even Phuket.

We would like to think so.....

80% of what... certainly not last years numbers surely. Or is it 80% of currently available seats? (On a reduced number of flights.)

I think his point is a more cynical 'might as well'......

Good riddance......

For me 'including' certainly does not make it ten, 'excluding' would have been used surely. Amusing they felt the need to tell us what types of vehicles they were, moreso if a few Hi-So vehicles had been among them!

Not struggle, simply those who would also live meagre lives by turning on that heating. I think there is likely a sector of people who have sufficient funds to live here... and immediately be living a better standard of living. I compare Pattaya to Blackpool or Rhyl, no contest.

You had better move or take effective action on standing water and plants where these mosquitoes live. Nets to sleep under.... repellant when out and about. The issue being in an area where there are infected mosquitoes....

I didn't bring enough with me!

Some of the bills one gets back in he West are also rather a rip-off. Plenty of alternatives around Thailand....I suspect it will not last though.

Thank heavens we do not have a Bangladesh theme floor!

Thanks.... I absolutely hate getting stuck in these snake queues, hot and uncomfortable, wondering if I should be in another queue or whether 12 month extension renewals need not be in them at all. Is it worth 10,000 baht to avoid all this!

With inflation in the UK at 10%, a good proportion of that being energy/ fertilizer inflation feeding through to food and drinks costs, becoming a snowbird or even an Expat is attractive.... If flight costs permit it! (Better move quick before the oil protesters stop people flying anywhere!). Most Expats will admit that cost of living is a serious factor for being here.... I am one of them.

So many seem to have a go at this guy, but he strikes me a someone who gets things done!
