Thailand’s declining birthrate has been put down to the availability of birth control and cultural changes, including more women working.

On top would have to be the cost of living and having babies just increases those costs exponentially especially hospitals which only really care about profit .

A survey carried out by the government found that around 200 million people around the world fit into that group. 

 

If just one million people from that group move to Thailand, each spending 100,000 baht per month or 1.2million baht per year, that would generate 1.2 trillion baht per year for the economy.

LOL,LOL,LOL they really dream big don't they delusions of grandeur . 1 million they would be very lucky to get 1 thousand and what exactly do the expect them to spend 100,000  on every single month , cmon time for a reality check .

I hope they are not expecting a rush of people (except maybe the Chinese) who have been fully vaccinated to come and spend their first 7 days of their holiday in lockdown .

If there were no signs everywhere stating what safety equipment had to be worn to take part in the event (from the start) and was not being monitored properly to ensure all those taking part actually wore them then the organizers are responsible for the care of everyone injured .

If people joined from the sidelines then they are responsible for their own safety and any injuries .

LOL oh well TIT , beggars belief .

Phuket has a population of around 480,000 so he wants less than 1/4  inoculated before tourists start arriving . I for one would want at least 60% done even though only fully vaccinated tourist can go there .

Maybe they should give him some jail time for arson on top of losing his job .

Doctors told the wife that he had suffered a blood clot limiting blood to heart and lungs.

Caused by the 6 day delay in operating on his broken leg which to my mind should have been done first day but TIT .

The vaccine, produced by Thais for Thais

That's perfectly OK but every Thai should have already been vaccinated by then, that's at least 9 months away and if they haven't been then the people in charge should be removed from office .

So their bragging about vaccinating an average of around 3,000 day in a population of 69,000,000 + not something i would want to brag about (quite slow in my mind) .

This will now be just 10 million baht a day

Wow only 10 million per day a hell of a lot better than nothing . Maybe peoples long term health has been deemed more important than short term monetary gains and i agree .

Thai border security forces are engaged in a tense stand-off with Cambodian troops

Why is there a standoff , if the trees where felled in Thailand and still on Thai land then the Cambodians don't have a say in what happens just get the army + machines in there and drag the logs out .

 logs have been stored near the Cambodian border, waiting to be hauled into Cambodia by illegal loggers.

They should have flipped the photo to make it more relevant to here . 

I just got 24.04 for my last Aus age pension so getting better for sure and hope it keeps going .

They wont be coming in big numbers if you are still going to force them into quarantine after they have been vaccinated .
