I think it depends a bit on your departure point. Sure, it's about equidistant and same flying time Heathrow to Mexico City/BKK. 12 hours minimum. For possibly 30% of US citizens, it's a short hop. And, can just drive there!

The most visited country on earth is France. Approaching 100m pa. Yet the 2019 revenue from same represents only 2.6% of GDP. Thailand is far too reliant on tourism. 40m represents about 13% of GDP. Tourists will shop ultra competitively. Short holidays, limited budgets. Value for money is surely the name of the game. 24 flying hours minimum, 24 hours recovery, from Europe, of your precious 2 weeks is a high price to pay. And let's face it. Hasn't everybody been here before? Yesterday's destination for Europeans IMHO. https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/international_tourism_revenue_to_GDP/

Great leads guys. Much obliged. But not for Carbonara! Point taken though.

I've searched in vain for this in all the supermarkets and one or two delis. I want to add it to my coffee and to make carbonara. It's supposedly keto friendly so I would love to hear from anyone who has found it. I'm in Pattaya. I've tried whipping cream - I guess not a bad substitute, but it's pricey and the large cartons will go off quite quickly I think, even in the fridge, with my usage. I bought a small 200ml carton from Foodland of Emborg for 109 THB. After 2 days I had to cut the carton open to get at the contents, which really resembled double cream. I got maybe 5 cups of coffees' worth out of it. Almost 22 THB per cup. The Danish UHT milk isn't really keto friendly but is ok if there's really nothing else available. TIA.

I stayed at P Plus about 2 years ago, for 2 weeks, just as the pandemic was breaking. It was a bargain online, about 460 THB, including gym and pool, a good location and a decent room. It closed like most Pattaya hotels when the pandemic got serious. Why are people talking about Chinese tour groups? There aren't any! A lot of Indians seem to like the far end of 2nd Rd, the Pratamnak end, just a short walk to Walking St and a lot of Indian restaurants. Bangla Mung!

On the mor prom app. หมอพร้อม in Thai.

I seem to have struck avocado gold in the fruit market on Thepprasit, behind Mr DIY, near to Colloseum. A constant, reliable supply of excellent fruit. I virtually live on them as they are keto gold! About 90 THB per kg. I buy the purple/brown ones. I avoid the supermarket ones.

I got a hep c vl test done there. Ok, had been a patient, but that was a long while back. The tests all get sent to a Bangkok lab I believe.

Try Banglamung government hospital.

Exactly. In the top right of their sign is the Thai plus the Thai transcript of "mansion". Sawatdee would have been far preferable.

My least favourite publication, I have to say.

I speak for myself, but as a person interested in Thai culture and language, I do GAFF. That's a flying flip, BTW!

I remember, going back a few years, how สวัสดี would be transcribed as swasdee, as that's how it's spelt, but not how it's pronounced. But that's the beauty of the Thai language, and part of the fun of learning to read it. His name is, I guess, from Sanskrit/Pali, like most Thai names. And before people start on about crazy Thai this and crazy Thai that, consider, just for starters, Messrs Cholmondeley, Wemyss and Beauchamp!

ปรเมศวร์ งามพิเชษฐ์ Poramet Ngampichet Why can't the editors of English language news outlets at least get his name right, or the transliteration thereof? Both the ศ in his given name and the ษ in his family name become 't', as per Thai language rules, as they are both final consonants of final syllables, and the ว is mute. Thank you.

He had to find a way to silence her, and that's what they've done. Ignore the verdict. It's meaningless.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have to admit I didn't follow the case in any detail. I couldn't see any point. How do you decide who's telling the truth? She wrote a piece about domestic violence, and he sues her. Maybe he was still smarting from the UK verdict about an article that wasn't even written by her. He didn't wait for the Virginia verdict, just split to Scotland to gig with his mates. Like he couldn't have given a rat's <deleted> about it. And that's the impression I'm left with. An uncaring cxxx.

Or offering you an apple? Sheesh, you guys must have really hated your mothers.

Aw, don't be sad guys.

Love them psycho bitches. They deserve a better deal. Nice guys? One born every minute. He just had a better PR and legal team. Never liked him. I wish him every misfortune know to man. Go Amber!

I believe the water is brought from Kanchanaburi

I'm intrigued as to why most posters on this forum seem to side with Depp. Why is that?

I'd love to know what big concessions were given to Russian tourists as part of the agreement.

Appeal dismissed

Case dismissed.
