I find it strange that only King Power is at most airports in Thailand. I do see many brands being sold

but only one company? Really.

Most airports in other countries have many businesses and the prices are more reasonable.

  i will never underswtand the Asian attitude. Smiles only do so much, 

What is TATs forecast. Economic tough times or worse.

  I guess we will all know in April 2024, when the high season is winding down and

everyone is headed back to their home countries.

If Hamas and the other terrorist groups in Gaza had not attacked and took hostages,

this situation would not still be happening.  I hate the media stories that make like the poor victems are 

Palestinians. If Hamas is made up of these people, I feel sympathy for all the people who were taken hostage.

 In My Opinion.

After flying and staying awake for at least 24 hours, I only get off the plane, get to a hotel

or somewhere with a bed, and collapse for at least 8 hours. I never shop on arrival.

I guess if you are from a neighbour coutry and fly one or 2 hours you would have energy to shop.

Bob Smith must not have a home country..  I live in Canada and it is expensive.

Niave traveller will always lose stuff. Why anyone would not use a money belt or a

small satchel you keep on your person for packing money, is beyond me.

A wallet in your pocket may be a bit uncomfortable, but is way better than having it stolen.

IMO.

The Hamas leader who lives in Qatar, must be a well fed fellow. Living in luxury while

having the animals kill and rape innocent people is something the world should realize

is what happens to the victems of Hamas and other terror groups. The ones who are being released

are lucky to still be alive, and I hope that all of them are eventually allowed to go back to isreal.

One can dream.

Tim, Those Pattaya police looked like a well fed and watered bunch. 555.

A well fed bunch of fellows in brown. Of course the women are doing the work of carrying the 

goodies that are being handed out. Typical.

Being in a police hospital is much different than being at large. 

  Double standard? How about two different situations?

My question is.  What sober person wuld be awake and walking aroun between 2 and 34 AM?

   Oh and how many police will be awake and on duty at that time just for patrolling the bar areas?

Gold plate. Oh and I like the kangeroo, great reminder of Australia.

Tim, IMO the Russian War against Ukraine is way more than a regional conflict.

Please call a spade a spade.  I am curious of sme of the items on your book case. The cold plate, the item on the lower left, and i do like your book ends as well.

Harvey M  Thanks for keeping us up on the news of Thailand.

Hamas and the other terrorist gangs in Gaza are the kilmlers. I would not link them too strongly to the general population of Gaza.

  I have to wonder if some of these terrorists are all from Gaza, mioght be some imports from other parts.

One of my Thai relatives, totaled his police chief's car years ago. He had

a few drinks and admitted to me that he fell asleep and crashed the car.

I think that is one of the common reasons for a lot of night time accidents.

awake too long, and sleepy when driving home.

It is refreshing to hear of these kinds of people getting caught, and sent to jail.

  Scum of the earth, don't need to be walking free. IMO

Maybe the title should be, Thailand bracing for High Season, since it is November now, and some

retired people start leaving the northern countries to avoid cold and snow in their countries.

Of course TAT and maybe Bangkok News have forgotten about low season and high season.

My Opinion of course...

The mercenaries are part of the Hamas group.  It sounds to me like Hamas is not

just Palestine guys.  I am glad that Thailand does not have Isreals style of

Military requirement, since Thailand has not been in a war for nearly 2 or 3 life times.

  I doubt that Thai born people living in Isreal are being forced to do time in the Isreal military.

Just my opinion of course.

The car did not escape, that is for sure.

I like cool season better than rainy season.  Not a lover of snow and ice and cold weather below 0C as well.
