More than 2,000 tourists on cruise ship arrive in Sri Racha
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
If all the 2200 passengers on the Ship disembark, and find their way into Sri Racha, the estimated 22 M spend will equate to 10,000 baht PP Hardly Earth shattering numbers -
Flight prices are well above the pre-Covid prices, and will remain high for the short to medium term for sure. There are now many other factors playing into the drop in Tourism. The artificially strong Baht being one of them. Travelers are more cost conscious than they were even just a couple of Years ago, and now they are taking their Vacations in Countries that are offering more " Bang for the Buck ", or are Holidaying in their Home countries. The fall in Exports and in General Manufacturing has been seen for several Months now by those that walk about with open Eyes. The Workers do not have the Overtime now that they once enjoyed, they are being more Mobile in looking for work and just a few Baht a Day extra in wages. With Inflation wayyy above the quoted number, there are a lot of people really hurting now, and if they are hurting, the Banks will surely follow soon.

Necrotising Fasciitis Awareness – Ed’s Scary Story
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
My story is not as scary as Ed,s, but Cellulitis can have very similar symptoms to Eds horrendous symptoms. Cellulitis is something that is equally as scary. I contracted this in my lower leg after a visit to a Thai Hospital for Surgery on my Eyes. Its a for of MRSA and the infection can be very painful and unsightly, with all the skin sliding off the leg and a high probability of Necrosis taking hold. My advice _ see a Doctor with all haste -

Over 300 hotspots detected in Chiang Mai Province on Sunday
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
So ! of the 300 or so Fire starters, how many have been tracked down and prosecuted ? I would guess at somewhere near Zero. -
Another urgent question has to be why , if there were enough Life Vests, were they not deployed. Poor systems put in place for emergency evac ? , Poor Command chain ? , or were they simply locked away in a locker and nobody could find the Key ? Was each one numbered and had to be assigned to a Sailor for its safe return ? For what ever reason, if there were enough Life Vests, why was the Mortality rate so high in this tragedy

Thailand donates Bt5 million for Turkey quake
Cake Monster replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This kind of an amount could almost be considered an insult ! -
If the Government are to expect 200M Tourists / Visitors to the Country by 2031, they must first put in place the basic things that will be expected by those Tourists. I am talking about clean and plentiful Water for drinking and cleaning, correct and Sanitary disposal of all Human Waste and Ethical Trash Recycling. All this has to be combined with a policy of Air Pollution reduction via burning and Factory emissions. Big Roads dont hack it any more, and neither does the expansion of Airports.. People are actually starting to care .

Cake Monster replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What the Nation is now witnessing, and having to endure, is the Monopolization of the entire Food Chain by just a handful of very large Conglomerates. They have successfully Monopolized everything from the Animal Feed, Fertilizer, Distribution, and Retailing of almost all the Foods that have seen increases of over 60 % in many cases.
