  1. They could try pounding the vehicles caught speeding using the Thai Governments emergency powers that they have at the present time . Park the pounded vehicles at the hospitals as there would be less demand for visiting the road casualties . I see no easing up on the throttle of the trucks in my area when it was the truck drivers bosses that campaigned for the capping of the diesel price .
  2. If the Thai Government reduce the taxes on fuel further then there will be a problem meeting there annual budget . There so called oil fund which is subsidizing diesel prices is actually borrowed money by the state . Any further cuts will mean borrowing more money . Park the pick up and get on the motorcycle is the best way to reduce expenditure on fuel . Reduce speed limits could be a great idea for Thailand with a double barreled affect of saving energy and lives at the same time .
  3. Because they would end up as targets for the Russian snipers as many journalists have found out .
  4. Take your high end choice of words where they belong and write every day English
  5. I asked you how you know China is helping the Russians secretly
  6. If it is secret how the Chinese are supporting Russia in the invasion of Ukraine how are you able to know ?
  7. Clear as mud on the state of the banks in Thailand after reading the article a number of times .
  8. Commonly the term used in the Chinese and Thai response to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine is called sitting on the fence
  9. Searches on my guest house have risen 40 percent in the last two months . I do my best to avoid Agoda as there payment system is slow . They do not pay until the guest has checked out and then takes weeks for the money to arrive . The guests are often young Thais from Agoda that have little idea how to behave . Excessive electricity usage , parking incorrectly and rubbish left everywhere . Airbnb pay when the guest checks in and the money is paid around three days later .
  10. 10 times better than a Thai bank will offer on fixed term of 6 months or more . 20 times better on a saving account . Any way the man is innocent until proven guilty .
  11. Thank you for your post . Many foreigners here take great joy in knocking what ever the Thai Government decides during the pandemic period .
  12. Vietnam relaxed there entry rules on the 15th of March 2022 . It will be interesting to see if there will be a surge in the number of visitors after a month . Somehow I doubt it due to the continued problems with covid around the world . Health wise and financially will keep the numbers way down . Do not forget that China continues to have travel restrictions .
  13. The young generation has been criticized I would guess before I was around . Yet the rapid advancement in technology the last few years has made young people further away from the older generation. No stopping progress
  14. No good asking me . Read what the general consensus is . We all become smarter on average . I can understand that .Mensa I have no idea , I will look it up on google
  15. That is called savvy , many young Thais have none. Thankfully some have
  16. Google is making us all much smarter . Get with it
  17. Impossible, only when you are young can you have the real affects of being in love . After 50 it's only lust
  18. I am sure after two years of the COVID pandemic here in Thailand there is a need of a shot in the arm for the medical business.
  19. What you need and what you get is two different things . They could forget all special entry rules into Thailand and still not attract the numbers of tourists they need with the exclusion of the Chinese and now the Russians . One has to remember many from the west will be hesitant to travel as well . Domestic tourism after two years of covid restrictions will be difficult to reach the numbers they need .
  20. Strengthened or weakened acceptable ? That is the term used often that I have seen .
  21. You raise a good question. Best way to look at the situation is who has the right to enforce there rights over a bordering country. I believe that Russia has not got that right .
  22. I received my birth certificate back promptly . Only mail i have had from them in the nine month wait . I have called them a number of times which has been helpful as there are two other countries that have or had a social agreement with the UK . Australia has no longer a social agreement with the Uk since 2013 . My argument is that I worked in Australia well before the law change . Therefore the time in Australia has to be paid . Time will tell if I am right on that one .
