The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or Peta, has called for a boycott of coconut products from Thailand, claiming the monkeys are being forced to clamber up trees to pick coconuts, but the Commerce Ministry has pointed out that it is a Thai tradition and part of the country’s culture.

Absolutely correct, PC has gone completely mad it is a shame that some people have nothing better to do and about time other woke up to what they are creating...!!!

Time to choose democracy, free speech and human rights over oppression and control, #standwithhongkong

China knows no other than oppressive ways, not too unlike another government who appear to be modeling themselves on this kind of action....!!!!

Oh dear that means Cambodia will get the first of the Chinese visitors, watch for the increase in CV-19 cases..!!

This is open to some form of skulduggery, no doubt all the people will play fair ...........LOL

"I think business travelers would be the first group to go abroad when the EU opens up. But, I don't think Thais would like to travel abroad at this moment as they are not confident about hygiene standards out there," said Kritapas Patamanate, managing director of AOM Travel, a tour operator in Thailand.

How about the real reason being many Thai's cannot afford to travel abroad at this moment in time ..........!!!

Why is everyone jumping on the "New Normal" bandwagon? surely a more correct thing would be the CV-19 normal ......!!

Though the new swine flu, G4 EA H1N1, has the potential of transmitting to humans and turning into a new pandemic, Dr Yong Poovorawan, an expert virologist at Chulalongkorn University, said it is not an immediate problem and there is no reason to panic yet.

They said the same thing about the WUHU virus, it makes one wonder what the Chinese feed their animals also the people ..........................LOL

Nearly 8 years and still nothing. If only Thailand had someone like Batman. Sorry, I've been watching too many movies. If only they had some strong and commanding figure. An army type maybe. Someone who could come in, have complete power and who would vow to end corruption and reform the police. A man who could return happiness to the people. 

 

Oh, well. Until someone like that comes along, the corruption and injustice will continue to get worse and unabated, I guess. 

They have an intelligent BMW ................LOL

A survey conducted by the Kasikorn Research Centre found that most Thais will prefer going to the beach if the government launches a local tourism stimulus measure.

Please don't forget the rules - No drinking, eating sitting in groups, shouting at the kids who have wandered away, wearing a face mask, and generally not enjoying yourself ................LOL
