As stated in many posts It is clear the Chinese tourists money is not being spread around, just a privileged and greedy few riding on the package tours.

While these elites are raking it in the fate of the industry at large is of no consequence.

A headline about Nigerians, many posts about Nigerians and a story about a Chilean thief.

Confusing.

My parents worried about us watching too much TV,  we probably did but we survived. In my home in Aus I see plenty of kids playing in parks, skate boarding, fishing and riding trail bikes (illegally) in vacant land. 50 years ago I did all of that. Not much has changed except kids have gadgets not much different to TV and pinball machines.

Forget taking the tourists out in the poor conditions during the off season, find some other activities for them. How hard can it be. 

Well it's a little late for that I think,  since the disaster every man and his dog has made bold public statements of blame or new plans on safety for marine tourism. Do they still have statements that need to be vetted by the ministers department?

Meanwhile the previous story was all about the friendly Thai cop tying a little girl to dad then allowing them both to drive off without helmets.  The Thai consensus was praise for the cop!

Brilliant, when tourists go boating they should be tied to liferafts.

The last time I saw a Ferrari in Thailand it was on it's roof on the freeway, a short distance down the road was a Lamborghini parked up it's driver looking back at the crash. 

This story reminds me of the top cop who got too close to the human traffickers and fled to Australia, what happened to him?

It appears that her lawyer is grasping at straws.

 

Following his logic, if I were to be drunk and cause a fatal accident, I shouldn't be charged with drunk driving causing death if I assist the victims and rescue team after the accident. I don't think his arguments stand a chance in court.

What do arguments have to do with Thai justice.

Sound like the RTP and the Thai justice system in top gear,  grab a scapegoat look no higher. Where is her husband in all this?  

Those who run the country getting their errand boy to serve their needs.

The Doctors who claimed these chemicals were harmless are quiet.

While the Australian government warns us of the terrifying terrorists who would steal our freedom, they and all Australian political parties are happily taking donations from foreign entities. It simply defies belief.

"..ratifying the C188 could very well destroy the country’s fishing industry."

 

Then let it be. Slavery is illegal.

Agree, but it is more than illegal, it is a serious lack of morality and empathy.
