Dual Pricing Debate Clouds Thai Tourism Outlook
Tourists are not staying away because of dual pricing. They're staying away because the baht is too strong, other destinations (with at least as much to offer) are cheaper by comparison. High domestic inflation of accommodation and food has made matters worse. All economies are having a tough time so the foreign tourist's disposable income has diminished considerably over the last few years and putting food on the table takes precedence over a holiday.

Pattaya is grinding to a halt
Let's hope the traffic lights all fail simultaneously and traffic can move freely. Beach Road, Second and Third roads would be virtually empty. It's not the volume of traffic that is the problem. It's the total lack of any synchronisation of the lights that bottle-up a kilometre long queue of traffic at an intersection while the converging roads cleared of traffic three minutes previously and not a vehicle in sight for half a kilometre or more in any direction. Then the green light releases you to drive to the next red light - rinse and repeat. Oh for 2020/21 - you could drive from Central Festival to Jomtien in three minutes and only see three other moving cars and a few scooters. I also miss signing in as Winston Churchill or Eric A. Blair (and occasionally Mr. A Hitler) on the register. Often saw Mickey and Donald were also frequent Mall attendees. Hats off to the dude that once signed in as Dostoevsky - especially for spelling it correctly.

Buying a condo
OP, whatever or whatever you buy - all condo owners are given a copy of the income/expenditure statement and balance sheet at the AGM. They also receive a copy of the previous year's AGM minutes and agenda. Many also issue a copy of their cashflow statement on a monthly basis. These documents will give you an idea of how well the condo is managed. Take a look at their expenses and of particular importance is the size of the sinking fund, the value of any unpaid annual condo levies, and how much they have in the way of cash reserves. Normally (but not always) the meeting minutes will also highlight any ongoing conflicts or difficulties the Juristic and/or the co-owners are experiencing. Whenever possible try and make the acquaintance of an existing co-owner and see if they can give you any inside information. From experience, most co-owners are more than willing to tell you how well or badly the management is doing. If you can befriend one of the housekeepers, they will really be able to give you the lowdown - they hear and see everything.

Waived through into Britain in just 30 minutes!
Stop calling it immigration, illegal or otherwise, and call it what it really is - an invasion. The only question remaining is whether it becomes a conquest. Probably a rhetorical question.

Car for sale in Pattaya through Facebook
It's possible the seller only wants to show the docs on a video call because he is scared of identity theft. It's common for Thai scammers to use your unblurred documents to open illegal bank accounts, take out loans, or scam others. If you (or any potential buyer) gets a clear copy of his vehicle documents, what's to stop you trying to sell it? There was a scam a few years ago where the Crims would request copies of the car documents, nick the car, and then sell it with promises of documents to follow etc. They got the cash, you got the car....at least for a while. Whenever providing copies of your own documents such as a passport or green book to anybody, always scrawl across the copy in big bold letters the reason for the copy - "To purchase/sell Mitsubishi Vacuum Cleaner", or whatever. If they don't have a clear unadulterated copy, it's difficult for them to use for any unauthorised activity.

Fact Check: Trump’s State of the Union Claims Under Scrutiny
Trump: Played 18 today and it was raining cats 'n dogs. MSN: According to the National Weather Service, it has never rained cats and dogs on the contiguous 48 states, nor even on Hawaii or Alaska. Although a popular children's movie does refer to the weather being cloudy with a chance of meatballs, no mention was made of cats or dogs, or indeed Datsun cogs. Another boldfaced lie by the 47th President.

Looking for a reliable fence contractor – any recommendations?
I have no recommendation, but here's a bit of advice after dealing with many Thai contractors. Retain ownership/possession of all the major materials. You buy them, have them delivered, you own them so you are paying for labour only, plus a few consumables along the way. Use a calculator to estimate your requirements. This one seems reasonable - insert your general design and Thai price to get a reasonable assessment. Fence Calculator | Calculator.now If the contractor asks for any up-front or progress payment, offer 10% of his quote to be paid on the completion of his 3rd day of work, the balance paid on a daily basis (if you can get away with it), or no more than 10% in any one payment - assuming that the appropriate percentage of work has or soon will be achieved. This way you minimise your potential loss and heartache. There WILL be a loss and heartache, be prepared.

British gran locked up by ICE for 6 weeks
This is sourced from MSN. Other news outlets report that: Husband Bill's US visa had expired and he was in the US illegally. She was offered the services of a lawyer but declined. When she agreed to the Voluntary Homecoming offer, she contractually agreed to waive the right to see a judge. She had access to phone calls but decided not to call her son in the UK due to embarrassment. She called the British consulate and was told that they could not intervene. Bad decisions lead to bad outcomes - but who made those decisions? Retired UK Grandmother Shackled, Stripped of Luggage and Held 42 Days by ICE Sounds Alarm Ahead of 2026 World Cup | IBTimes UK

Global Order in Crisis: Germany's Stark Warning at Security Summit
One of the pivotal reasons for forming the UN (and perhaps more importantly the morphing of the European Common Market into the EU) was to help prevent the rising of a future German fourth Reich. That's why billions were devoted to rebuilding a post WWII Germany making them the powerhouse of Europe. While Britain had to pay their full debt for the cost of the war back to America. The general theory being that if Germany was allowed to prosper through industry and become the ersatz economic rulers of Europe, they wouldn't need to build Panzers and Messerschmitts and roll across their borders again. Angela Merkel lost the plot and drove Germany off the economic cliff (immigration, climate, anti-nuclear), resulting in the flatlining of their economy in recent years, and a far cry from what it was as the dominant European economy only a few short years ago. When things go to hell in a handcart, they tend to go at terminal velocity. The way Germany is talking now, I think they want to go three for three. That's not to say many other European countries wouldn't be very welcoming of a widespread kinetic war - some might say it's actually already happening and this is our 1933-39/2020-2026 Nothing like a war to raise a feeling of psuedo-patriotism, enforce rationing of everything from food to travel, enforce speech control, unload a plethora of pesky troublesome white males on the battlefield, and blame a war for the impending and unavoidable austerity caused by 50 years of bad management and allowing fools and imbeciles to run the world. History inevitably repeats itself. But we never learn.

Revving up your motorbike
I have some tolerance for these throttle revving <deleted>. Remember that 50% of the population have 2-digit IQ's. They're usually the same ones that take off full-noise when the traffic light countdown gets to 4. They're performing a public service in this pathfinder role by volunteering to cause a hazard to red light jumpers, and occasionally take one for Team Darwin.
