Both sides.

One day only? Today, back to normal life-threatening pollution levels.

Brilliant!!! What about fixing the air pollution problem first?

This is news? It has been happening for decades.

I revised my Australian and Thai wills here (in Thailand) a few years ago. For my Australian will, I asked two Australian friends in Thailand to be witnesses (for convenience). I kept a copy for myself, and posted the original back to my Australian lawyer and executor - who thanked me, and replied "all in order".

Agreed.

Same in Hua Hin now, with the current almost 1 kilometre of sidewalk works along Phetchakasem Road, forcing people to walk (and others in wheelchairs) on the very busy road, further worsening motor traffic congestion. Why do this work in peak tourist season?? And what is worse, some of this work is in front of a large school (next to Hua Hin Market Village), thus endangering the lives of school children. Why not do this work during the coming long school holidays?? Planning, logic, safety first????

A problem in many countries; the governments want the tourists' money, but are unwilling to spend money to provide appropriate facilities. The problem is also appearing more frequently in Hua Hin, causing some of us to avoid the city if possible during this peak tourist season.

3 down, 3,000 more to go.

Totally agree, but the immoral Thai political leadership have no morals.

What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. "The HYPOCRISY is sickening", agreed, the hypocrisy of Trump, Musk, MAGA. et al.

Agreed. But Tom Hanks liked it 🙂

From the second paragraph ...."On 10th February 2024, reports surfaced from Chonburi Province of tourists,..." 2024????

About 49.8% of the people who voted in the last US election voted for Trump. One can assume that most of these people knew his policies, and the majority knew what the impact of these policies would be. They voted for pain, and now they will get it.

Maybe Thais need a big attitude adjustment and the road rules enforced - when that will happen, nobody knows, but unlikely in my life time.

Can I apply for a refund for fines already paid?

I would prefer to read - Thailand haults imports of Chinese agricultural produce due to the presence of toxic chemicals.

Agreed.

Similar research on this topic has been published before; but, as is too often the case, the research is ignored by governments and often suppressed under pressure from big business.

Agree with the heading - just look at what Trump had done over the past 2 weeks!!

Is there any country, apart from Israel, that Trump has not threatened?

Being a retired expat Permanent Resident would make life easier, especially in dealing with the Thai bureaucracy. It would be nice if retired expats, who have resided in Thailand for 5+ or 10 or so years, who have had no problems with the police/law, who have an adequate annual income, say Baht 1 million, from pensions, investments, etc. be granted PR. Fully aware that PR, like citizenship, can be revoked by the authorities.

Go back to "Neighbours".

Short answer, yes, easily.

Thailand, never learns, slowly declining.
