  1. I hope they give the rest of their good status list the 60 day 

    visa free period. Canada only has the 30 day free, I think that USA is only 30 day visa free as well.

    I guess Russia, a country who has invaded a foreign country Ukrain is more special in the Thai Tourism department

    eyes? IMO that is not fair, but I am only a tourist to Thailand so I guess I do not matter to the tourism department.

  2. Krabi may be a tourist destination, however there are lots of Muslims who live there and they

    are a lot more conservative than say places like Pattaya. This stupid tourist is lucky 

    he was only fined for his lack of common sense. IMO  Some posters who think Thailand should be like their

    home country, should be happy that is is not.

    Cheers.

  3. Well the Chinese still have this activity being done very often. I saw it during many tours in China.

      When you have to go and there are no safe alleyways to dart into, what other choice is there?

    Peeing your self lools and feels pretty horrible.  For the Thais who were offended, quit being so

    sensitive. Really, I have seen many Thais relieve themselves, during my many visits to Thailand as

    well.

  4. I also seen a clip where a Texas solar farm was severly damaged after a hail storm

    passed over a large part of it and totally destroyed a lot of the solar panels.

      Oh and those large windmills are pretty high maintenance as the blades, and bushings are not that long lasting

    and the blades cannot be recycled. Of course we the public do not get great news stories about

    this situation. At least Thailand does not have cold weather problems, with frost issues and such.

    Not sure how the big windmills operate in high winds as well, or if Thailand has enough windy days

    on the plains to make windmills viable.

    Just my thoughts.

      

  5. None of my Thai relatives plan on getting an EV any time soon. They do not even trust the hybrids.

      Most of my relative have either a Honda, Izuzu or Toyota and plan to keep them 8 to 10 years.

         The charging stations are not easy to find in the smaller places in Thailand, The same goes for western Canada.

    The large cities in Canada have some charging stations, but in smaller towns, it is hard to find a lot of charging

    stations. Granted there will be more and more charging stations built in Canada, but for now I would only be interested in a hybrid

    as it will get me to my destination for sure.

  6. During my klast visit this year, I seen more than 50 percent of Motercycle riders without helmets. Women especially do not

    want their hair mussed up. The amount of toruists without helmets was troubling, and i bet a lot of them did not have out of 

    country medical insurance. I am happy to be back home in cooler tempertures, even the snow on the ground does not bother me.

      Hot season in Thailand is not for me. I also seen many drunk people riding motercycles, and am not surprised

    to read this story of a young tourist dying from a crash.  RIP to this fellow, and good luck to all of you with this hot season.
