Chinese Tourist Shortfall Takes Toll on Pattaya’s Tourism Sector
If wages are about the same or less in China than in Thailand, it would be easy to see that people in China are still getting over the pandemic as well. TAT should be smart enough to see this situation a well. Maybe in a few years the numbers from all countries will increase.

Nigerian and 13 Thais arrested for operating romance scam
Fools and their money are soon parted, and quicker with the help of these scammers. Sometimes I am glad to to be filthy rich.

Trump surrenders for historic fourth arrest
I will be happy when I see pictures of Donald Trump wearing prison orange, or pink if he goes to Arizona. He is one criminal that deserves jail time, I am not surprised that he has so many followers though, in America and other places many people follow other bad people. Jim Jones, etc.

Former PM Thaksin still under care of Police General Hospital
I bet most of us cannot afford the menu that Mr. Thaksin eats off of. I also doubt Mr. Thaksin will be in jail long. Rich people live in a different world that most of us do. Welcome back to Thailand Mr. Thaksin. Good Luck to your health.

German Hells Angels Gang Member Apprehended in Thailand
In the USA even have criminals in the government, so it is not news when one of them gets arrested. except for Donnie. This German guy looks ugly now, I wonder what he will look like if he lives into his 70s. Never been a fan of tattoos. most just look ugly. some are pathetic. IMO

Short stay in the medical ward, then one week house arrest is more likely.

Texas woman charged with threatening to kill judge in Trump election case
Glad she is being locked up, maybe she can be in Trumps section when he arrives in his orange jump suit. Am I being too optimistic?

Swede dreams turned sour: Swedish man arrested for overstaying visa in northern Thailand
Follow the rules of the foreign country you are staying in, it is that simple. Over stay is over stay. I have no support for people who break these rules. It is a good thing that Sweden has mild Winters.

Thai it up: Weather officials forecast downpour throughout Thailand
Well rainy season is June to October, so bring on the rain. Sounds like the northern dams need the water.

Yup, being in debt is bad enough, but becoming a robber is not the solution.

Pattaya sets 1.9 billion baht budget aiming to revitalise tourism and local economy
Well October to April at least is not the Rainy Season, although from March onward, it certainly is Hot season. I hope it is a great year during the Winter months, November to March. How much longer will the Russians let Putin and their Republic leaders call the war in Ukraine just a special operation. These war criminals, along with all the Generals should be in a jail. I just hope that Jontien Beach is as friendly as always. My cousin lives there

UPDATE: Pattaya Police Reportedly Pursuing Homicide Charges for Russian Man Linked to Fatal Fall of Russian Woman
The RTP have to do a complete character search on this man to make sure he was actually the woman s boyfriend, and not some KGB type threatening her. The mans work history and employment background etc. should be checked before letting him go free totally. IMO

Trump heading for Republican 'coronation' as 2024 rivals struggle to stop him
Only in America, we get to watch 2 old geezers run for the Presidency. The cut off age should be 75. Surely there has to be somebody in either party that is younger, and could be a great President. Trump and Biden both need to retire. In My Opinion anyway.

Hawaii fires deadliest natural disaster in state history
Any fire that is wind driven is not something that can be stopped as ashes fly so far. This tragic fire spread because of the high winds from the hurricane passing by Hawaii. People use climate change on everything these days. Dry conditions are common at this time of year so quit the climate change blame game. Just saying. my opinion.

Robbie Robertson, leader of The Band, dies aged 80
I liked a lot of the songs that Robbie wrote and sang. Being a boomer is not easy, as so many of us are now dying off.

Feasibility Study Expedited for Government Spaceport Project
Thailand has a ton of spaceports already. Well they are rice fields and other flat areas in the country side. Most Alien spaceships do not need to be refueled. Most likely want some fresh water, and maybe some Thai food. Ha ha my joke for the day.

Ocean tragedy: German father drowns, son survives off Phuket’s Karon Beach
This is why I do not travel to Thailand during Rainy Season, more storms, more high winds and RIP tides are bad this time of year. Some people use caution, some don't. RIP to these tourists who forgot caution.

Political uncertainty forces tourism industry to cut arrival estimates by 2 million
I just hope that airfares will go down a bit for the Winter months. Hopefully the USSR will quit their illegal invasion of Ukraine by this Winter as well. I never call that Place Russia, as I still believe that it is a Union of Republics, unfortunately the Leaders are all following Putin, so I hope they are all considered war criminals when this war is over. I know the Generals will be. Hopefully the weather from November to April will be nice and sunny, and not too hot. Thankfully all the places I stay at have AC.

British chain Costa Coffee faces boycott calls over transgender illustration
Well, I am aghast. I like the taste of A & W coffee, and the big M coffee. Star bucks is too strong. Why does a coffee company need to get mixed up in the rest of the worlds problems anyway. ALM to me any. That is All lives matter, not just some special interest groups. NSO, that is me, Normal Straight and Old.

Fireworks investigation: Extra tonne discovered near Thai explosion site, increasing fears
Thailand is in Asia, and isn't Asia err China where fireworks were first invented? Too bad there was not a rule to have these dangerous factories far from a residential neighborhood. Or too bad houses were allowed to get built close to this factory if it existed there first. Either way this was a tragic incident.

The chance of Trump winning another term is very real
If Trump gets back in power, at least the pipeline in Canada can get built along side the hundreds of other pipelines in the USA to the golf of Mexico. Green Biden shut it down. Also Trump does not need prompt cards to say what he wants to say. He dos not stumble along as much as Biden does, oh and he is a few years younger. Retirement at 80 should be iron clad in politics. IMO
