    Interesting, as of a few minutes ago Harris had 73.6 million popular votes (226 EC votes) and Trump had 76.3 million votes (and 312 EC votes) (or 50.1% of all votes).

    Expats flocking to Thailand? Could the unnamed author provide some data to support their argument? Some other recent articles on global expats have presented data suggesting that Thailand is no longer the flavour of the decade/century and is on the decline. Nevertheless, after the Trump "victory", maybe more Americans will seek to relocate to a safer country, though I doubt Thailand would be high on many Americans list.

    Please define "a successful business man" and provide some examples of same. Why only business man and not business woman?

    The PM would have more luck in encouraging US citizens to retire to Thailand.

    Pattaya's image? Does it have one?

    Surprised not. Safety first? International standards are not applicable in Thailand, because Thailand is exceptionally unique. However, when Thailand manufactures products, such as motor vehicles, for export to foreign countries which do have stringent safety standards, that is a different story, as the foreign requirements are usually met.

    Karma, Khun Taksin?

    Maybe Malaysia is afraid Thailand will attempt to reclaim "lost territory".
  9. JimHuaHin
    Your first point - that is what suspect.

    Why does Thailand need "these people"? So Thailand can become more global and multicultural? These people enrich Thai culture? Or is it because they generally do work that most Thais do not want to do, at a wage which is generally significantly less than the legal minimum wage, thereby making the employers richer?

    Credibility level? No money changed hands?

    "I didn't vote for Trump, I do not like Trump, do not blame me."

    Ditto.

    Looks like fascism won. Time to return the Statue of Liberty to France..

    Did not work at Tak Bai, or Thammasat University, or ......

    Does Israel have a labour shortage? How could that be? With Israel expanding its current "war" by "attacking" and increasing number of its "neighbours", will Israel soon be "recruiting" foreign "security volunteers"?

    There have been numerous similar "reports" over the past decade or so, which have been largely ignored by various Thai governments. The Thai youth of today and their children will be paying the price of this inaction in the decades to come.

    Some Thai officials seem to have no concept of morality. I remember in the late 1970s into at least the early 1980s, a certain group of Thai officials doing business with the by then ousted Khmer Rouge.

    Probably tens of thousands of pools 🙂

    Was it the Police General Hospital, VIP Floor?

    1 week, no replies. Does that mean no reliable swimming pool contractors in Hua Hin?

    And will the law be enforced?

    LOL. And it will snow in Bangkok today. Just ban most China-made products, and most of the low quality imports will disappear. But, in reality, the super powerful Chinese-Thai business families will never allow that, especially those with large factories in China, some of whose produce is imported into Thailand.

    Thai Buddhism, like Western Christianity, fake.

    I am glad I left the Roman Catholic Church about 50 years ago, after 12 years of indoctrination. The hypocrisy of many Church officials vis-a-vis biblical teachings were apparent to me even as a young teenager, and Arch Bishop Vigano clearly illustrates things have not changed
