What annoys you most about the roads (not the drivers)?
In general Thailand has a good road system. My pet peeve is on a national highway such as No 1 far too many traffic lights & unsafe U turns. Understand on the lesser roads not possible but on their No 1 highway ??

so, i got my first "clap" 🙄
Couple of right old moralists on here that must have got out of the wrong side this morning. In saying that you should pop into one of the clinics mentioned above, get checked out & swallow the bitter pill. They will also check that no other STD (possibly more serious) has been picked up. Do it ASAP for your own good

Trump Imposes Stealth Tariffs Up to 25% on UK Products
What the staunch Trumpees will not admit is that most of the 4 trillion is coming out of the average US of A's citizens pockets, again, robbing from the poor to help the rich & state coffers

Poll Reveals Majority of Thais Favor Distancing from Cambodia
Show them the trade figures & they may change their tune. They are neighbours & a healthy trade surplus with Cambodia (which Thailand desperately needs) needs to continue, so a few heads being banged together to knock some sense into them is in order on both sides. To even suggest that it is all Cambodia's fault just shows a lack of education & brainwashing

Thai Airways Set to Soar: Major Expansion Plan Unveiled
We just returned from an 8 day family holiday in Perth & it was just OK. Having travelled this route & to Auckland on many occassions I gotta say that where I used to give Thai an 8/10 they now get a 5/10. Reasons, aircraft dirty & old, Food & drink service nothing compared to what it used to be. Pity as was gold for 15 years but now look for alternatives

Power Disconnection: Thailand Ends Supply to Cambodia
That, along with cutting electricity from Burma as well must be costing Thailand more export earnings. All over a bit of dirt & a pile of stones that people are prepared to die for

Thai Airways Refutes Political Ties in Aircraft Purchase Deal
Thai Airways will do just fine going forward on one condition Do not allow Government Ministers & their hangers on from demanding free travel & that includes the Foreign Ofice who all staff thought they could "catch a freebie" whenever they wanted.

Bangkok Airport Chaos: Aussies Fume Over Qantas Passport Demand
This has happened to me twice coming out of Perth where the flight has been delayed overnight. We had to reenter Oz again as we had been waiting to board both times. We got a big blue stamp across the Oz departure stamp "Did Not Depart" Got our passports back & taken by bus to accommodation. Maybe Thai Immigration did not want the job of checking back in & out & making it quicker to get through & on their way when plane became available. It would be Immigration that had the say, not the airline,,,, methinks

Thai Baht and it's continued strength
You are younger than you look or have not been here long. I remember getting 17.8 Bht to the AUD which continued for about 5 months. As I was being paid out of Oz in those days it hurt

Thaksin's Cambodia Concerns Stir Political Pot
Abide by the International Court on boundaries even if need to get surveyed by non aligned country (ies) open the border, have a tea party together & get on with living & as everybody knows Thailand does very well thankyou, not just on border trade but trade in general along with tourist traffic, which they need desperately at present. The old fuddy duddies who insist on making waves on 3 areas that happen to have old Kymer ruins on (& belong to Cambodia anyway) should be drafted to the front line & given an old Lee Enfield to protect the ruins.

Thailand's Grand Ambition: Hosting F1 with 40 Billion Baht Plan
For a developing country to even consider chasing F1 is simply silly. Even Korea could not make a go of it & those in the know in Malaysia wish they had never heard of F1. These two are the only 2 that I have been unvolved in. For a 5 day event the returns are just not there By the time everybody is paid, the infrastructure is in place (if roadrace millions spent every year to get the thing ready & put it to bed after, it is hardly worth it. As already stated monies could be spent on much more important issues

Pattaya Police Detain Armed Foreign Gang Near Tourist Area
Stop it you 2 children. It is still a very worrying sign that needs to be stamped out & quickly. Next they won"t be neighbours but as mentioned, middle Eastern & (or) European haters. The BIB need to keep on this but good job done here
