    Electric cars are the solution, and better than fossil fuelled, but should be powered by hydrogen, not batteries that pollute to make and dispose of.

    Till they make an electric car that can be refuelled in the same length of time as a petrol powered one, they ain't going to be a viable alternative outside cities.

    If I make an 8 hour journey, I'm not stopping for an hour or more to recharge.

    People who believe technology will save us are in for a nasty shock.

    About 25 million too many of them here already. The less foreigners the better. Thailand needs to grow up and learn more is not better. Mass tourism has destroyed the reason for visiting here.

    Thailand hs indeed plundered and destroyed much of the natural resources that made tourism about 20% of the Thai economy. However the industry will continue to thrive with less discriminating markets.....So I'd see the future as more tack and more pollution.

  3. I think it is quite possible that METV and entry restrictions in gnarl are having an effect. many Asian tourist are on packages and their visa is included  ....European tourists stay longer and often try to use Thailand as a hub...the more difficult this becomes the less appealing it becomes as a destination.

     

    however as a tacky destination a mass production line of various Chinese and local visitors may be more lucrative, and if European visitors stopped completely the overall figures would simply be the same as about 5 years ago.

  4. THere's loads of housing around there. Both in new estates/villages and condos. A lot would depend on what you ae doing out there, e.g. which industrial estate you  are working on.

     

    Check Google maps and the property web sites to get an idea where everything is. You'll need transport.

    The British system has had parliament for 800 years...but only had democracy of a sort for about 150 and properly for all for about 90, if the will of the people is thwarted now that democratic experiment has come to an end. Truly all that will be left is a police state and voting proven to be no longer worth the ballot paper. 

     

    Why is it that Brexiteers who never showed any interest in democracy before now have the most distorted view possible?

    The main one was unwanted immigration and its negative effects on life in the UK for its native population such as its traditional culture, terrorism, crime, unemployment, employment conditions, housing and general overcrowding.

     

    The other was the perceived EU interference in our 'sovereignty' such as what laws we choose to implement and how we choose to implement them.

    No that's a typical remainers point of view trying to justify why leave voters wanted to leave the entity called the EU.

     

    Lets call them racists we feel better but really it just makes you look inept and rather simple.

     

    As far as I can still see, the EU which has mostly Europeans citizens are all one race, which shows my previous statement to be true.

    Have you noticed how racists spend most of their time claiming they aren't racist?
