Wonder if it has anything to do with the schools being constantly closed doe public holidays, or the kids going for just a half a day as its some monks day. 

That said, I do not think the government here want educated people, they want tourists and waiting at the end of a table or putting ice in someone's beer really does not need any education !

Probably planning the lawsuit against the grieving  family for damage to the car as I write this.

Concerns are being raised about the potential damage to Thailand’s overall tourism market due to a documentary by German media organisation Deutsche Welle (DW),

Hmm, wonder if they will now do a program about the Thai coach death killing 14  and other mass daily roads deaths.

I think more people will be turned off by likelihood of death than a dose of the clap

disclosed that PM2.5, particles exceeding the standard limits, is an air pollutant that poses a danger to health, easily entering the body through the respiratory system. Prolonged or high levels of exposure can have severe short-term and long-term health impacts.

Maybe, just maybe, the Chinese are monitoring pollution and not coming - maybe polluted China is less risk that polluted Thailand ? 

According to the police’s initial interviews with the victim’s friends, the victim jumped from the balcony of his 45th-floor room.

The distance I would say gives you enough time to regret any voluntary decision !

Chinese are broke.

Certainly the ones who paid for their unbuilt Thai condos are now that someone appears to have run off with their money

Thailand recently introduced temporary visa-free entry until February 29 next year for arrivals from China and Kazakhstan. There was a short-lived uptick in Chinese arrivals when the scheme was launched, with numbers going from 17,000 a day to 18,000.

Guess the increase in Kaz tourists was one bum on a plane going by the lack of Kaz tourist reporting numbers

Er, Malaysia is not a part of Thailand, it's a different country, Scotland and Wales are part of the United Kingdom. So no, not a bit like saying that whatsoever.

Exactly how many scots and welsh do you think cross the border to work - it would be the same if they had to have passports - that's my point - its nearby work , not tourism

Bit like saying the welsh and the Scots are England's biggest tourism nations - pathetic

And exactly where do they rank on hotel bookings - if the no.1 tourism nation is ranked say 75th in hotel bookings THEY ARE NOT TOURISTS !

Guess the farang price of entry is about to go up to cover it then

There must be millions of crazy thai men carrying guns, why do these people never run into them ?

At 71 years of age, one might think people would know their limits.

Man across the soi from me is nearly 75 and just started a relationship with a girl 29. I think them there 70 year olds are making a last few rash and ill fated decisions in that final push for the winning post

Can only assume that they are bored of Thai food now
