I want him to tell us how it will be policed? or is he going to ask his daughter as she seems to have all his answers.

Why? The Thai males would just run off as usual, having said that, same as the European males nowadays, ....no responsibilities!

And unwanted competition for Poipet and Phnom Penn as well.

I agree, Vietnam and Malaysia offer far better value for money if you are not in Asia solely for the nightlife. As others have pointed out here, Thailand isn't keeping pace with the times and is producing regurgitated entertainment. Those working in brothels offer poor value for money at extortionate prices. That, coupled with a poor safety record, increasing scams, and, of course, Thailand is no longer cheap and no longer represents value for money within the region. I don't spend much in Thailand anymore, as I feel it's a rip-off. The best offerings are still value-for-money hotels, but they are creeping up; once they reach parity with European standards, there will be nothing left.

I doubt that. We are in the low season, and Cambodia isn't a major player in tourism, if you take away 2/3-day visits to Angkor Wat.

No. Complete nonsense from those with vested interests. It would draw the worst of the Chinese mafia into Thailand. They've already ruined Sihanoukville, Cambodia and areas of Myanmar and no-go areas in Laos.

Don't worry, inability to read is usual on Asean Now; in fact, I think it's a requirement to comment.

On a serious note, Norse Atlantic Airways, a new airline, has grown considerably, offering tried-and-tested bargain fares to various routes around the world and is gaining popularity with travellers. I hope it works. I googled and looked on YouTube at their offerings, and they are impressive at very cheap prices. Another newcomer offering cheap deluxe and business fares to Thailand is INDIGO, from India, but I will give them a miss. I wouldn't fancy a stopover in Bombay!

I've just learned that Norse Atlantic Airways will commence direct flights from Manchester starting Wednesday, November 26th, aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Only two classes will be offered: Economy and Economy Plus. Flights starting at 11,500 baht return ( 259 GBP ) The main worry is what kind of customers these flights will be carrying! I'll be sticking with the One World alliance group of airlines, I think. Details here:- https://scandasia.com/norse-atlantic-to-launch-first-ever-non-stop-manchester-bangkok-route/

I was purely talking about fruits available here low in sugar.

Yeah, Watermelon, Grapes, Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, all not so bad, even apples.

Yes and No, Those guys up sticks regularly and move around the country where they can make the most money, and I would too. They aren't involved in the selling, financing, or maintenance of vehicles, nor do they reflect the new car market or official dealerships within Thailand.

No, He can use his current retirement extension for now and put the money in the bank. When the retirement extension expires in 2026, he can leave the country that day, return, and make a fresh application with his own 800,000 baht for 2026, which will have been in the bank longer than the two months before rule.

OR, After uproar from netizens, the cabinet is mulling it over and having an extraordinary committee meeting to discuss the possibility of returning them in 2050.

Sorry, But a massive generalisation on something as important as health insurance.
