Last time someone did that to me I found myself clenching my teeth in climax ! ????

Shapist ! ????

So you had in"fight" entertainment? ????

One thing it wasn’t was unprofitable. £2 billion profit pre pandemic and BA is by far the largest contingent of IAG.

Probably the worst direct flight from the UK out of the bunch and generally most expensive. No loss. It was always one of the cheapest for flights starting in Bangkok,certainly of the direct ones,so yes a loss by virtue of reduced competition and higher fares from others

No it’s a commercially realistic company assessing the reality of the future of Thai tourism,unlike the delusional TAT

The glasses which bring things sharply into focus. You still wearing the rose tinted ones with the scratched steamed up lenses ?

Outside of a black swan event like a pandemic,a well maintained tourist industry is very robust and lucrative. Countries like Spain and Ski resorts illustrate that. What 'other sources of revenue'? Thailand’s appalling education system and lack of skills don’t equip it to compete in more advanced industries and even if that could be addressed today (it can’t under current governance and ingrained attitudes) it would take a generation to overcome. No, the relatively low skillset required for a tourist industry is ideally suited to Thailand,but they are in severe danger of losing even that to a substantial degree by having no vision ,apart from wishful thinking, to address a recovery of the industry compounded by a delusional,arrogant and complacent attitude imagining tourists are banging at the door to get back in previous numbers. It’s going to a painful awakening..

Or you could eschew Luddite tendencies and learn how to use one. It’s no badge of honour proclaiming deficiencies in technological understanding any more than is claiming illiteracy. Age is no excuse.

It’s far more than An unrutted raid surface . Engineered in safety via design…? Nope

Hogwash - the roads here are fine The engineering design reflecting the safety aspect is truly appalling/absent. U turns in dangerously ill considered places and rumble strips ON the bend and even AFTER are the more obvious examples of the cluelessness along with totally insufficient distances for warnings of roadworks etc.

What they seem very slow to understand is that the huge drop in earnings from the decimation of numbers of foreigners of all types here spending money is not returning to anything resembling those levels for a considerable time ,likely measured in years . Perhaps another lost high season and the continued'ghost town' appearance of the main tourist resorts will emphasize that ? The delusional perception of millions just waiting for them to open the gates sadly continues. They will not be able to reset their preferred tourist/visitor profile and will have to be grateful for whoever comes and take whatever they spend. They might start with encouraging whoever is already here and do their utmost to keep them here and without daft immigration hurdles.

A classic demonstration of stupidity. That’s why they wear no/cheap helmets . Cheap helmets for cheap heads..

We can but hope… ????

Drink driving convictions in most western countries are a huge inconvenience. Mandatory ban for at least a year in UK ,often more than that. Continue to drive on a ban and you’re facing jail time. Even after the ban you’ll be hit with a massive insurance premium hike,if you can even find an insurer. The record on your licence stays for 10 years and insurers will ask for details of convictions for past 5 years and 'have you EVER been convicted of DUI ' ! A very expensive conviction ..

There’s a vaccination to largely prevent deaths from Covid,but unlikely to ever be a vaccination to cure the utter stupidity of so very many Thai drivers. It goes beyond proper road training and enforcement evidenced by some of the mindless manoeuvres they undertake (pun alert) devoid of any common sense pertaining self survival. It may be they’re simply not bright enough to drive…

Did you get her number? Perhaps she’ll lift something else for you later on…? ????

I think there’s a 'Spot the Boss' app on your new iPad and he might be the one waving the checkered flag signaling the end of RTP's search for him.. ????

Why the house of cards system won’t work for mass tourism - incidents like this will multiply hugely. Like their travel insurance they are really only only the face of the test /insurance and the company doing the test or the actual underwriters (when you claim) are nothing to do with Boots. They’re basically an agent taking a commission by lending their name.

How do you detect a slowdown in the barely perceptible movement of tectonics? ????

Please PM me your PIN number so I can verify it’s really you before I send them back… I’ll take my own modest reward ..

Fool them by drinking coffee out of a beer glass !

So just unsubstantiated rubbish ?

I hope you’re still able to enjoy ALL those ! ????

Do you think he’ll be getting the trader to reciprocate in kind and then wai with his mouth still full ? ????
