    Sometimes a person wants something different and something that brings a memory back to life once again.

    I accept that. I love a substantial and tasty burger from time to time and Carl's Jr.'s were goood. However, what irked me in the original posters comment was his notion that Pattaya didn't have enough quality food around, making it sound like he exclusively lived on burgers and other western fast food fare.

    Surprise... kids don't read and write very good already before the Covid, and now with 1 year no lessons it wold not improve.. The education ministry should ban 50 kids classes as some schoola have mixed classes. How can you prperly teach kids if you don't have a minute a kid in a lesson?

     

    In other words, "on-site" education never worked very well either. Not that the Education Commission would admit to this...

    former Deputy National Police Chief Wirachai Songmetta one of the kingdom’s most well known and respected police officers who is also one of the richest men in the country.

    Allow me to interpret that for you:

     

    1) He is one of the wealthiest men in the country BECAUSE he (was) a deputy national police chief.

    2) He is only so well respected BECAUSE he is one of the wealthiest men in this country.

    3) If he had been a low-ranking policeman throughout his entire career, he would now NEITHER be one of the wealthiest men in the country NOR be well respected.

  4. The only way booze is going to prevent you from catching Covid is if you buy an appropriately large glass jar and fill it up to the rim with your favorite tipple. You then pickle yourself in it, making sure that you stay submerged permanently. Oh, and please ask someone to screw on the lid!

  5. Wife: "Oh, look at that! Thailand gives out 10-year visas for a mere $30,000..."

    Husband: "Wow, that sounds like a great deal!

    Wife: "Wait a minute... the small print also says that you're required to invest a minimum $1 million in order to qualify."

    Husband: "Really? Hm.... let's instead go get citizenship in Dominica or St. Kitts and Nevis for only a $250,000 investment. No more visas needed at all. AND it's much closer to home,. AND they all speak English there, too."

    He said that Thai ganja was highly regarded comparing it with Khao Horm Mali (Jasmine Rice) for its tourism pulling power.

    This statement alone already proves that Chartchai Rotrungrangsri without a shred of doubt is delusional and far removed from reality.

     

    I have never ever (ever!!!) heard of a single tourist who visited Thailand solely because of its jasmine rice.

     

    And the ludicrous assessment that "9 out of 10 tourists" are going to try ganja... does that mean that Thailand basically banks on the arrival of millions and millions of stoners that are going to fall over one another in heaps as they storm airports worldwide? How about the families with underage children, the millionaires? Junkies, all of them?

  7. When will TAT finally recognize the fact that it is Thailand's onerous entry requirements that keep the bulk of potential visitors away?

     

    TAT can pull as many fantasy figures from its hat as they want, but that will not do anything to help bring in foreign tourists in droves.

     

    Just last week TAT projected "10 million visitors from the Middle East" in 2022 in a ridiculously enthusiastic announcement just because the country had re-established relations with Saudi-Arabia. Either you've got to be really detached from reality or have a child-like mind (or both) if you truly believe that the mere re-establishment of relations will now suddenly cause every other Saudi national to immediately jump on a plane to Bangkok.

     

    Just get a grip on it, TAT, and stop annoying everybody with your endless recital of wishful arrival figures as if they were some kind of magical mantra.

  8. As unjust and cruel Russia's malicious attack on Ukraine is and as much as the world community is entirely right in condemning Russia for its despicable action, please let's not forget to also apply the same yardstick next time the United States of America unilaterally decide that they must "liberate" some foreign nation.

     

    Remember Haiti, Grenada, Somalia, Iraq.

     

    What's good for the goose should also be good for the gander.

    The Thai Government wants to play Jelly Fish while the most "neutral" country in the world (Switzerland) has taken a firm stance against this war?

    I never realized what invertebrates they were. ????

    The truly despicably pathetic thing is:

     

    If Russia wins and assimilates Ukraine, Thailand will proudly proclaim that it has "always been with Russia".

     

    Yet if Ukraine against all odds should survive this and Russia is being shunned by the world community, Thailand will proclaim that "in principle we always supported the cause of Ukraine's independence".

  10. While Don takes a "neutral stance", Thailand's ambassador to the UN yesterday voted "yes" in favor of a resolution to condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine. Go figure.

     

    When one day Thailand's big bosom buddy from the north decides they need to expand into Southeast Asia in what they (just like Russia) may perhaps cynically term as a "defensive attack", I hope that the rest of the world likewise will maintain a "neutral stance".
