Ummm ... the only hope is a foreign CEO.

As I used to tell my students, when they came across the concept of "the traditional family" in a textbook they were required to read - "tradition" or "traditional" referes to what era; 100 years ago, 1,000 years ago, 10,000 years ago, etc.? What counts as "tradition" changes as time progresses; and there is rarely such a concept as "a/the national tradition", as not all groups in a community or society have the same beliefs.

April 1 already?

I cannot but agree with BostonJoe, with respect to some sites. About 3 years ago I was looking for a new house to rent. I found an ideal house on a real estate site (business owned and run by a Thai man). The pictures on his web page showed a new well furnished house. He took me to view the house. Shock horror. The house apeared to be 10-15 years old. The owner of the house was there, using a water house to clean the inside of the house!! The inside the house was very dirty, in disrepair, and had zero resemblance to the pictues on the web site, apart from the shape of the rooms. The beautiful gardens and swimming poor where not there on inspection - all the plants, shrubs and grass were dead, and the pool resembled an algae haven. Some other houses I visited at the time with some other real estate agents were not as bad, but clearly the pictures on their web sites were out of date by several years. As for dating sites/apps - photoshop, or some similar age reversing and/or beautification apps, are extensively used.

"Hence my advice to high-risk persons is to get a booster after six months." - I thought it was 4 months (eg Hua Hin Hospital, amongst other medical groups, guidelines when I received a booster last month)?

I wonder how many, or what proportion, of Hua Hin's residents would be happy if there were no international flights into Hua Hin?

Then there are other media reports of the billions of investment Baht that have left Thailand this year - thus the question is - what is the nett level of foreign investment in Thailand this year?
