Do they really think that tourists here for a two week holiday are going to go through all the rigmarole of KYC just so they can do some mobile crypto spending? Most will already have some form of mobile banking.

Putting the border wall up and decreasing illegal immigration are great goals, But no matter how the US uses tariffs for it's protectionist acts to combat cheaper imports. How will it be able to manufacture anything cheap enough to export? And they will need to export. The emnity it has created has not endeared other countries to want to buy from the US if they can buy elsewhere, especially if cheaper elsewhere.

That scam used to be common in Soho, London. Even back in the '80's and '90's. Taxi drivers got commission for dropping tourists off to a bar or strip joint. When they were confronted with an exorbitant bill for a few drinks, they were often forcibly taken to an ATM by the bouncers to pay for said bill if they didn't have enough cash. Sometimes given a good beating as well. These weren't skinny Thais doling out the goods, but proper heavies.

I think Paris is as bad as London now. Full of migrant criminals looking for an easy pay day. Crime through the roof, and rubbish strewn, graffiti covered streets. They bring what they are used to with them. Often violent flare ups in the government housing projects in the suburbs, where immigrants and north African families tend to live. Even the Police don't go to some parts.

An innocent child's life ruined before it has hardly begun. The gift of sight taken away by evil scum. They should be locked up and the key thrown away.

The low turn out in recent elections is because people are sick of self serving politicians of both major parties who refuse to listen to voter's complaints.

What a horrible torture to put an animal through. Unable to move, and if true that it's a Siberian Husky, which are used to cooler climes, even worse for the heat. That fat f**k need burying up to his head for a few days to help him lose some weight. See how he likes it.

Does this mean there will soon be a special VIP welcome lane at arrivals specifically for Indians?

GF has started talking about moving back home to Yang Talat once the daughter finishes school in a few years. I've never been, and don't know much about it apart from the fact it's about an hour from Khon Kaen city. Indeed I've never visited any part of Isaan. I will have to make a visit soon I suppose. I don't think I would ever mover there. Pretty sure I would find village life boring. Am I wrong? Anyone know what Yang Talat is like? I love living near the sea for the clean air and cool breezes. I would miss that.

Winning big time on the lottery might do it for me. Travel the world in style.

I have an idea. Why doesn't TAT offer them free holidays? They are supposed to be the biggest spenders, and are therefore far more like ly to spend more money in the Thai economy if given a free holiday. Might even attract big numbers again.

The EU, just like the UK has let in too many illegals. The enemy within. Changing the make up of the population and the cultural norms to suit themselves.

Stinks of desperation.

No. If Trump has his way that would be a Trump Hotel, Casino and Entertainment Complex.

I'm not sure to think he is a brave man or a foolish one. Sure the UK is ruined, but he might have been better picking another European country rather than dragging the whole family halfway around the world. At least there he might find a job, and if he put the children in a government school, their education would still be at a fairly high standard. Home schooling might soon turn into a chore, and international schools here aren't cheap.
