    China and Russia are obviously a threat, but so is Iran. Trump took a hard line with Iran, but Biden has been significantly softer. Reports suggest that in the last 2/3 years Iran has stepped up the pace of it's development of nuclear weaponry, and will likely have an atomic bomb well within 5 years. That is something to be very concerned about.

    Likewise, after 40 years married.

    Generally correct, but not entirely. Some, albeit a minority, are genuinely good people, as they are in the same work in any country.

    China's grip on Thailand tightens a step further.

    There are no new tax regulations, only an apparent move by the Thai govt to better enforce legislation which already exists.

    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.

    Pattaya and nearby areas excellent for families. Reports rubbishing Pattaya are rubbish.

    Obviously your last entry date.

    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.

    I fear that will be the case.

    Not fair to mongrels.

    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.

    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.

    Thaksin running the show, albeit low profile.

    Do you mean higher floor, or are you joking ?

    Rightly or wrongly it was reported in the UK Times that Trump was appealing the guilty verdict.
  17. Thingamabob
    Evidence ?
  18. Thingamabob
    The police close all bank accounts ? Really ? Does that include joint accounts ?

    Snouts well and truly in the trough...

    No bear should be caged, nor any other animal. Cruel beyond belief.

    This is vague. Far from certain the attacker was an elephant.

    He still has to overcome lese majeste charges
  23. Thingamabob
    ...and murderers, rapists and thieves.

    As a Brit I would hope for anyone other than Biden as president, no matter whether Democrat or Republican.

    Nothing much to celibrate. A long way to go yet. The ruling elite are determined to silence him one way or another, sadly.
