But those people were mainly useless to their countries economy.
COVID must have saved the UK millions on pension payments.
Back on topic,
Currency manipulation is the answer IMHO.
UK Gravy is in Makro.
Tea bags, best to buy on Lazada, 'Food Variety' usually have Typhoo Tea @99bht/100.
Chocolate, again Lazada, just got some 'Fruit and Nut' from 'Food Variety' 150bht for 180gm bars.
How many tourists in Thailand do you think rent cars?
Most rent a scooter without a license so they're breaking the law anyway.

15 seeds for 27 pounds delivered to Thailand.
I walk around my garden picking up the trash my kids and woman have chucked every day.
I can see the French ladies POV, 5 minutes clearing up around the place you want to sit/swim makes sense to me.
I really wouldn't expect this sort of thing to happen on a luxury resort island.
My (her) moobaan house, in fact the entire moobaan of 250 houses, outside Chiang Mai has zero theft problems since it was built 10 years back. We don't even lock the doors or shut the windows unless it looks like rain.
Odd that the neighbours didn't report the guy on the m/c coming and going, my neighbours would be all over it.
