Celebrate the diversity.

The only thing he's done wrong is to apologise. He should stand by what he said.

rather than posting misinformation concerning refugees why not take a look at some facts.

Yes, The Guardian has no political bias whatsoever.

Let us hope that our Generals won't adopt that line of thinking.

"our Generals" ? I guess you must be a Thai citizen. As a foreigner they're not "our" anything. They barely tolerate us being here.

but beer and women are cheap

Have you even been there ? Yes, get down to Nagaworld for the 'cheap' prostitutes. Prices start at a paltry $200. The Chinese have ruined Cambodia - just like everywhere else they go.

A climate not unlike Brazil then. Which is having a few problems.

Brazil is huge. It's not all tropical beaches. In the south its cold.

Last week, the ONS said black people and men of Bangladeshi and Pakistani origin were nearly twice as likely to die from the COVID-19 disease than whites, even when adjusting data for deprivation.

Deprivation ? Free benefits, healthcare, and given priority job opportunties over the natives in many employment sectors - including the BBC. Let's imagine Thailand giving us that kind of 'deprivation'. Never happen in a million years because they're not completely insane.

healthy young 43 year old such as myself

43 can in no way be described as young.

The bar/girl "scene" is pretty much finished. The virus has put the final nail in the coffin. Most of this kind of business is done via social media apps - has been for a while. Its only older generation men who've kept it going in places like Pattaya. Watching go-go dancers behind plastic screens might be the only future entertainment for tourists. Barfines, and "what your name? where you from ? you buy me dink?" is over.

It is almost like self-centered right wing politicians who couldn't care about their own citizens is somehow connected to how they handle this crisis, who would have thought it?

There's nothing "right wing" about keeping borders open at all costs.

Bring back Singha Light and dump that horrible MyBeer.

 

 

I have emailed Boonrawd Trading Co accordingly....... still waiting for a reply. 

It's exactly the same beer. Was just rebranded last year. I've been drinking it for years - well, until last month.

Greedy, corrupt s**m.

Apart from the fact some people are sober for the first time in years what is the point of having a ban when the fore mentioned "Mum and Pop" shops are still selling.

I wish I could find one of these mythical 'mom and pop' stores still selling grog. Here in Chiang mai I haven't found any willing to sell me any beer ????

Oh please, yes, Pattaya is actually a lovely place without millions of outsiders jamming the place up.

I presume your Thai if you see yourself as a 'local' ? If your not, your also an 'outsider'. Get a grip.

Phnom Penh is a city with no public parks. They were sold off to the Chinese so they could build overpriced apartment blocks. Planting a few trees is not going to make that dump any more liveable.

They are just like Vietnam getting the momentum nowadays. Easier visas,  simular cost of living With Thailand and improving their infrastructure!

I take it you've never been to Cambodia. I lived there for 5 years. That country is going backwards not forward.
