    More in the UK tabloids :

     ...hundreds of thousands of young women working in the sex trade.

     

    That's impressive for a city of 120,000 souls. I guess Daily Mail readers would consider any women under 65 to be young, otherwise you would have to revise the numbers downward to about 50.

    I wonder if it was ripped on arrival?

     

    I've heard of several reasons for not allowing someone to board, but a small rip, seriously? IMO there is something missing from this story.

     

    Perhaps the main takeaway from this is if you are skint, don't go on holidays to foreign countries.

     

    I had the same issue returning from Dubai a couple of years ago. At BKK, they made a big fuss about a similar small rip along the seam of my worn, 9-year old passport. It had never occurred to me that this would be an issue. I pleaded very nicely and the guy eventually agreed to let me in...as long as I promised to get the passport replaced asap.

    An article on Bangkok Post clearly shows that they are discussing taxing worldwide income.

    Currently, only two countries on the planet do this. The USA and Eritrea.

    This is a desperate act by the Thai government, and demonstrates that things are not good.

    Most countries tax your worldwide income. What makes the US different is that citizens have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam, regardless of where they live (I can't comment on Eritrea).
