I think that other places like Chumphon are also still suffering. Places like Pattaya, Hua Hin, Cha Am etc. are close in distance to Bangkok, so locals and tourists either go there or to Chiang Mai and other popular cities that are well known. TAT must be happier than they were last year.

Asteroid : one of the closest approaches to the planet ever recorded.
Stargeezr replied to Social Media's topic in World News
To the poster who says west promoting Ukraine war, how would you like Russia to invade the country you are in then lie to say they are only there to protect you from some very bad people. It is time for Russia to get out of the country of Ukraine and stop this war that they have started. Get it? I hope so. -
In all my visits to Thailand over the last 30 years, I have always walked around the drain covers, as most of them look like they would collapse if I stepped on them. I use that caution in most places that do not have the proper steel covers like they have in North America, and some other parts of the world.

Thailand has more than China for a nearby country. My guess for this special treatment is the number of possible visiting tourists from China, vs the other nearby countries. Maybe the good trade agreements with the Chinese companies and government as well may be an influence. I just like the Winter weather conditions and a few nice beaches that are away from the cities along the coastlines of Thailand. Just my two cents worth of opinion.

Millions forced to skip meals as UK cost of living crisis deepens
Stargeezr replied to Scott's topic in World News
If the UK has a carbon tax like Canada, it is time to scrap that tax. It is not like the world is running out of food, if you are a millionaire. If you have a normal wage, then sorry about that. I am in that category. -
Oh and today there was yet another mass shooting in California. I guess the USA is trying for a record year of mass shootings, after all it is only January 24th today. I am not from the USA, and I do not want to go there, it is getting very dangerous. Wrong place at the wrong time could kill me.

Capitol rioter who posed with feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk found guilty
Stargeezr replied to Scott's topic in World News
I am glad to see that some of these looters were found guilty and charged for their crimes. Too bad about the orange teflon guy. He deserves jail time too. -
Way to go Estonia. Do not believe anything that Putin has to say.

I was lucky to have an older brother and sister, who did not like to fight, but when they did they did not lose. My father taught them how to defend themselves, as he was a Military MP and knew defensive techniques. When I was in my teens he also taught me some moves, and I used them to save getting beat up. I learned that some bullies are not great fighters. RIP to this poor girl, and I hope that the bullies face some bad karma in the future.

Poor air quality reported in 36 areas of Bangkok and suburbs on Monday
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
On the bad days, I have always worn a mask, a KN95 or N95 type, to keep my lungs and throat from being itchy. I had tourists ask me why, but never had any Thais ask. Hmmm, wonder why? COVID is not the only reason to wear a mask, I found that I never had a cold or flu as well, because I wore a mask when I was in large crowds. However there are those people who just need their bare faced freedom. who will claim that masks make them sick. Well you have to change and clean your mask if you do not want to get the germs working against you. Just saying. -
Thailand makes it into list of 23 “best travel destinations” for 2023
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I agree, and at least you do not need to carry a million dollars of local currency like in Vietnam. I also enjoy the Thailand banks, better than the banks in Mexico etc. IMO -
Tennessee fires officials after damning death penalty report
Stargeezr replied to Scott's topic in World News
All countries should modernize this method. Quick, likely quite painless, and the body parts can be used to benefit society, as in eye transplants, etc. The convict could even volunteer a blood donation just before the blade. Win, Win. Bring back the death penelty. -
Unfortunately Russia has a lot of cannon fodder, and is employing mercenaries, as well, Putin will kill off all his criminals and poor people to keep fighting this illegal invasion of Ukraine. I call this Putin's war, and not as a compliment. As another poster said, this war will likely continue until Putin is gone in some manner. IMO

Monterey Park: Several people shot near Los Angeles - reports
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in World News
Americans and their guns are like Thais and their amulets. Some even try to come into Canada with their USA permit, packing pistols. They get a big surprise at the border.
