  1. China's grip on Thailand tightens a step further.
  2. There are no new tax regulations, only an apparent move by the Thai govt to better enforce legislation which already exists.
  3. Personally I think they look pathetic rather than offensive. However, most Thais would not like to see this and their culture should be respected by visitors.
  4. Pattaya and nearby areas excellent for families. Reports rubbishing Pattaya are rubbish.
  5. Disgusting, and entirely against the tenets if Buddhism. However, not surprising given the idolatry and greed exhibited at so many temples in Thailand, so very far removed from the philosophy and advice advanced by Siddhartha Gautama.
  6. I fear that will be the case.
  7. The govt need higher numbers of low-spend tourists to meet it's revenue requirement. They could have pushed for lower numbers of high spenders but chose not to, sad to say.
  8. Used not to be the case. In the old days people here with money kept a very low profile. Increasing Chinese influence changed all that, and showing off has become the norm.
  9. Thaksin running the show, albeit low profile.
  10. Do you mean higher floor, or are you joking ?
  11. Rightly or wrongly it was reported in the UK Times that Trump was appealing the guilty verdict.
  12. The police close all bank accounts ? Really ? Does that include joint accounts ?
  13. No bear should be caged, nor any other animal. Cruel beyond belief.
  14. This is vague. Far from certain the attacker was an elephant.
  15. He still has to overcome lese majeste charges
  16. ...and murderers, rapists and thieves.
  17. As a Brit I would hope for anyone other than Biden as president, no matter whether Democrat or Republican.
  18. Nothing much to celibrate. A long way to go yet. The ruling elite are determined to silence him one way or another, sadly.
  19. The aviation hub objective has been declared by successive Thai governments for over 50 years. Never quite seems to happen...
  20. The policewoman's comment just about sums up why the police generally have lost all respect in the UK.
  21. Yes indeed. A Japanese friend told me recently he no longer wanted to holiday in Thailand because of the numbers of chinese to be found all over the country.
