  1. Riding scooters anywhere is a bad idea, they are high risk particularly if you are not an experienced rider. That said, insurance companies suck … and the lawyers that write those obtuse contracts.
  2. I completely disagree … it’s the 5th best tourist destination in the world within 150 km of Bangkok.
  3. I have been in Thailand 34 years and I still have not been able to work out why there is zero impulse control. Things just go from emotion to action with no filter. Is it the lack of consequences, a behavior based on what they see in TV, parenting issues …
  4. Quick thinking lot on the beach. They diagnose the problem quickly, grab their handy vinegar bottles, do CPR and call 911. Poor girl would have been as dead as a Dodo if I had been in the case.
  5. I wonder what their definition of bad tourists is? That is quite a broad brush that would benefit from more focus. Also, if the are intending to enhance the tourist experience, they really need a good deal more effort in looking for the bad Thai’s and sorting them out.
  6. Just in case there was even the slightest doubt that Thaksin was back in charge
  7. Seriously? Do they think everyone is an idiot? He will be staying in quarters reserved for voting generals (lots of those in the Thai Army(
  8. How many studies have to be published to confirm that face masks don’t stop the spread of any virus.
  9. There are covert Chinese police stationed everywhere already … USA, Canada and Europe. The purpose is to keep a watchful eye on criminals and any Chinese national that thinks they can say what they like. If I were Chinese I would get no comfort or sense of safety from people spying on me.
  10. Clearly their job is surveillance of Chinese nationals and reporting back to the mother ship. It’s a monumentally bad idea to give up your sovereignty like this. What is wrong with the xenophobic leaders of Thailand? Wonder if this decision was taken before or after the Chinese threatened Thailand on the matter of Taiwan media coverage?
  11. I really hope that the Thai government and media tell China to get stuffed. I fear though that what will happen is the government will quietly tell the media not to cover Taiwan. Just look at the covert government interference in the USA among the social media companies during Covid. Why would we be surprised that the same thing would not happen in Thailand?
