Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
They want the tourists, but they don't want tourists to become investors! " Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong confirmed that the ministry is engaging with impacted local operators to devise a customised response." What could possibly go wrong when TAT are involved?

GPO? Royal Mail used to be called the GPO (General Post Office) but I feel that this is a different acronym! 🙂 (I do hate it when people assume that you should know their meaning sometimes!)

I still fail to see why a convicted criminal should even be ALLOWED to run for President, let alone why millions of people would vote for one! Still, I'm from the UK - I know nothing of American politics!

Bridge playing pensioners using too many cards, overstayers, a Poker school, and now this ring distributing sex toys. The BIB are really busting all records with their fight against major criminals, aren't they?

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
"People in general should be wise enough to save up for their retirement later on in life, not to depend on the gov't, regardless of what you may think is fair or not fair." Sometimes, people in general do not have the spare cash to save up for their retirement - they live from day to day, and I think that will apply even more during this years "Bleak Winter" due to the absurd cost of Utility Bills (£1700 p.a. average) I was in a position where I was having to pay a mortgage on a single salary, pay child maintenance based on a previous higher salary, and although the Government Rules and Regs states that "Full time education ceases at 16", and any education beyond that point ("A" levels, University etc is classed as "Further Education", by order of the local Magistrates Court to make maintenance payments until my daughter finished University i.e. 21!) OK, that was a few years ago, and I sold the house at a substantial profit and moved abroad, but my point is that not everybody is in a position to save for their retirement, due to circumstances that may be beyond their control.

Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
"................ a heated debate over the safety and viability of school field trips." It's the safety of the transport that is under question - not the field trips. It's just a pity that such a horrific tragedy should have to happen to make the authorities do something about it.

He didn't say he counted all the buses that are on the roads - just the ones he saw - he didn't do any calculations!
