How do you fight a war when you are squabbling over only 4.6 sq. kilometres of land? It sounds so WW1-ish.

Whatever the new fee, the mandatory 35% Corruption Tax will have to be deducted from it to feed the usual %$#& bags. So there will be no more than 65 Baht left over. 62.23 million passengers x 35 Baht = 2,178,050,000 Baht for new cars, huge TVs, mansions, maids, shopping trips, etc. Not that the %$#& bags don't have enough of these already, but they must have more, I suppose.

If I had a landlord who did this, I'd leave. There are LOADS of empty rooms and apartments. It's immoral to raise the rent like this.

Dictators love to send people to die in wars for their own goals while they hide in fear. I suggest that the F-16s be sent to Phnom Penh to get rid of the dictator so that the war ends at once. Hun Sen's son will then flee abroad, and Cambodia can then create a democratic government. Hun Sen will only start another war one day, and Cambodia will remain poor, if this doesn't happen.

The Thai air force has good pilots!

I wish I knew how to make tourists to Thailand buy travel insurance before travelling.

A lot of evidence has been revealed already. Obama, Klapper, and the other scumbags had better have their lawyers ready. The legal fees will have bankrupted them by the time the trials end. This alone will be their karma.

Israel won't listen to the world while Hamas has the hostages and remains in power. If Hamas remains in power, the problems won't end and Gaza will simply be destroyed again by another war (5) years down the road. It's up to the population of Gaza to stop the war. By supporting Hamas, they will have to live in poverty in ruined houses and with little food and water for many years to come.

I suggest that people wait until the independent news channels report about what happened. The anti-Israel media will only curse Israel. Maybe the IDF shot at Hamas people dressed as civilians who were stealing the food. Normally, Hamas takes most of the food aid and then sells it to the local Gazans. We'll know soon.

I'm glad she's found happiness. Politics and involvement in the US mainstream media are ingredients for an unhappy life.

A lovely suggestion! I wonder what the queue would be called, as signage text has to be short.

Send Thaksin to jail. He scammed the system. But if a foreigner had done this s/he would have been deported. Maybe he should be deported (to Dubai).

You don't need anyone's help to buy a cryptocurrency. Accept suggestions or guidance as where to buy them, but don't accept help or give your money to someone who says, "Transfer the money to me and I'll buy (Bitcoin) for you." People who do should really be investing in my special promotion of 30% off one of the bridges over the Chao Phraya River. I hope he can get his money back, but if "Alex" is wise, he will have skedalled out of the country already. The red flags should have started to be visible when he heard that he could get an interest rate of 5%-10% per month. Even Bitcoin doesn't work like that as an investment vehicle. My 25 cats are in the local Catnip business. It seems that selling crypto to foreigners is more lucrative. Classes for them will start tomorrow.

When nobody buys Russian oil, then the war economy will collapse. I think that Putin will be assassinated then.

What absolute nonsense! ..."Thailand will chew you up and spit you out if you're not ready," I've been here 41 years and never experienced anything remotely near to this scenario. Thailand isn't a mission impossible.

Aside from the prophecies and visions about global destruction, I think this is inevitable because it seems to be the only way for mankind to reset the world and to move to the next level, which is world unity. The leaders of North Korea, Russia, China, and Iran are leading mankind towards World War 3. There will be no winner in this war, even though they think they will win it. There will just be many, many years of fighting, the death of global trade, and the destruction of the world's currencies and economic systems. Those who have gold and their own land to grow food will come out on top.

I think their decision to homeschool their children is a good idea. The international schools in Thailand are SO expensive. The various refundable and non-refundable deposits are a financial killer. The Sarasas bilingual schools certainly used to be affordable.

Dale, I've just skimmed through a video about Mansfield. I can see why you would want to leave the place. I expect people will point out that your dream of living in Thailand is difficult and you'll fail. Ignore them! If you have a dream, go for it despite the difficulties. I came to Thailand with a suitcase in 1984 and have been here ever since. I assume you've thought about how you'll earn an income. To get yourself going financially, you might like to consider ensuring income by using your cash to buy and sell 5 Baht or 10 Baht gold bars. Many Thais do this. I don't know about westerners doing this, though. You probably don't have a pension. You won't need one if you learn about gold. Bank interest is around 1.5%. Gold increases its annual value by around 28%. It's up to you. I suppose you have gravitated towards living in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, or some city or other. If you have loads of money to burn on rent, fine. If you want to save money, choose a rural town and rent a condominium or house for much less. My family of 4's first accommodation was renting a room in Phuket. Choose your friends carefully. In my experience, expats can be quite negative and might pull you down. There are always ways to achieve your dream. I wish you success and a happy life here!

This is called Karma. Thailand has been abusing the balance of trade over many years and also transshipping Chinese goods to help the CCP avoid tariffs. Sort this out and the tariffs will go away.

Only the brainwashed Democrat-Marxist supporters believe what CNN et al say about the climate.

This is just Thailand getting back at Hun Sen and embarrassing him. He won't be able to come to Thailand for a holiday now.

I would actually like to see Mamdani win because then NY citizens will get what they deserve. They want NY to become Socialist-Communist. They are clueless about the effects he will have, and then they won't vote Democrat ever again. This victory will ensure that Trump wins the 2026 elections.

So, the UK Hamas leaders are saying, "We raped and killed women and children. We demand our human rights be respected."

I expect that all of the Hamas invaders are dead by now and experiencing their karma in the Afterlife.

Thai governments should be preparing to replace tourism with other industries. One day, the Golden Goose of Tourism will die. Then what?
