It’s more than that here. Stigma and resources, or lack thereof, have dampened numbers. Yes today’s gen may be a bit wet behind the ears, but it’s all a sign of the times and perceived tougher past generations would be different today. Depression has been there throughout human history (the brain is a crazy b*tch)… and tougher in the modern world with all the societal tat, esp if your country is run by a pack of self serving soldiers and face is everything.

Sorry but what a load of old tosh! The Thais have been celebrating Songkran this way for decades, foreigners joining in for the ride. Places like Pattaya are the extreme but are merely following their lead. It’s the boring old fuddy duddies (farang and dinosaur leadership here) that would want to stop people having some fun.

Exciting for me, if that’s the word. Was expecting a mass exodus to these shores.

Lol, or turn all the jets from China back around.

Sensationalist title. It will never be game over for covid 19.

Thailand also has all the relevant taxes in place that are written into tickets. This is a not so subtle add on. Not a whinge, just pointing out the facts.

Reckon the 150 had a bit more poke. The extra CCs on the 160 was to make up for loss of power due to emissions control apparently. But yeah great bike. Only annoyance I find is the lack of dampening on front end. Feels like a 1950s Cub over small bumps lol. And yes pressures reduced from the standard showroom 100,000PSI ???? Perhaps the Michelins would help….

TL;DR Sort your currency out!!!

Might be alright news if you are one of the rare ones that is directly getting coin from these people, but a shower of sh*t for pretty much everyone else. Why don’t they invade another safe space and leave Thailand well alone… better still, stay home. No issue with sustainable numbers of independent travellers that directly benefit the people, but these huge waves of tour groups is just white noise that spoils it for everyone else. Blame Phrayut 100%

10 years under Prayut Thailand lost money, opportunities and time What about freedom?

… sharp intake of breath. Careful careful. Perfectly fine for Thai Muslim scholars and local leaders to want to ban alcohol and marijuana for the whole nation of course.

Perhaps he can educate himself on democracy ????

Hark at the 'netizens'. Locals messing with their phones while driving is a national pastime. Initially thought inlaid pic was examining back of cop's head. ????

1200k? That's nothing compared to how far the average farang goes for a bit of skirt... granted, most of em don't walk it. Women pick up on weakness, however. He should perhaps have a rethink and make her trudge the 1200. ????

Indeed, but one only needs to attain a significant percentage of light to close down vast distances per unit time... it is the ultimate speed, though impossible to get near with our current understanding of course (we're still too busy building bombs) but it's all there in special relativity equations. Also ignoring manipulation of spacetime with big energy. This stuff with yours, and my, brain is just not on point to comprehend such a thing... another million years of evolution will have you a god.

What is a Ferrary? Is that like a wannabe sports car for the light-footed? lol. Just messing with ya. What a donkey waltzing around with bling at that hour. He probably scared the S out of the police with his farangipan speak.

More eyes/spying/intelligence + awareness. Clearly not every UFO (didn't they change the acronym recently? big stigma) has a little green bloke behind the wheel. Though they are also there... one would have to be a simpleton if they imagined two trillion-plus galaxies x 100 billion stars with countless planets and moons could not produce something that would rival us. Never mind.

Initial thoughts, yes, but a lot (most?) of those soldiers do not want it. No Choice. We all know who is at fault... bstards in suits (not just Putin) nowhere near the front line. Hoping there's another life so I can get to the priick and flog him repeatedly for all eternity!

Pales into comparison with birds headbutting windows.

I agree, Mike, it's bollockx... he picked them up. Personally think the Russian gal should be arrested for being Russian. ????

Ooh, he's a one eh! Preaching morality while smiling and stealing a country. Get back in your cage solider boy. You will not be missed!

Never had an issue coming in, dozens of times. Those lines do suck though... worth having a kid just to go through the Thai lane lol.

It is a real sovereign state and has all the right to be one, not wanting to be a part of that bogus rancid regime. Countries don't formally recognise it as such because they are worried about upsetting childish China and the subsequent loss of trade. They go into Taiwan they will be hit with massive sanctions which would totally shaft their economy and they would rightly revert to developing third world status.

Yep and well put. Doesn't matter one's culture and perceived happiness index, we are all still burdened with a hooman brain which can easily be a monster for anyone when unfocused and unchecked. On the other hand, the Thai propensity for living for the now is very refreshing and having spent time with humble rubber farmers, they are among the most chilled and genuine folk I have encountered.

Cheap as chips still compared with a real beer here (pint of rubbish Guinness being £7-8) and many places around the world. And that is near the Smoke where folk are earning big. Can still get a pint for couple quid from whence I hail.
