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.

Evidence ?

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

...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.

The aviation hub objective has been declared by successive Thai governments for over 50 years. Never quite seems to happen...

The policewoman's comment just about sums up why the police generally have lost all respect in the UK.

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.

A welcome result, but a long way to go given the judgement to be made at the end of this month regarding Pita's alleged abuse of the lese majeste law.

Knew the victim, and knew the land ownership documents were in her house.

Probably more like 60% plus..

Tall women in Nan ? Never noticed that before. Are you sure they weren't ladyboys ?

Never once used an agent in over 60 years of visiting, living, working and now in retirement in Thailand. However, as age catches up with me, I will likely need to do so at some stage. Currently 82 years old.

It seems likely that he will punished by being banned from political activity. The ruling elite are frightened by his views, and by his popularity.
