"Of Thailand's roughly 350,000 prisoners, 180,000 of them first-time offenders, 60,000 second-time offenders and 15,000 third-time offenders." Wasn't that difficult. There, found about half the needed laborers!!

Probably that is a 2nd class red.... bcos not falling under the universal emergency coverage, But the insurance companies deny payment for quarantine without treatment also...

Not true at all! The last time I visited the Pattaya aquarium it gave me 50% discount. ????

Usually act of war is a common nullifying in any insurance policy.

Logic 101 would actually say both countries involved has an embassy in Bkk...and it is their job to help their citizens by default.

Recent decades the Thai military experience seem to be limited to overthrowing and illegal power grabbing. Are the Ukrainians really after that type of expertise this point? But if the plan is to build a military junta, yes, they knocking the right door.

This won't be the popular view, nevertheless I get that Russia is bad ... But Shouldnt automatically pretend that Ukraine is great and all faultless, a bastion of democracy and protectors of human rights. War is bad. So is fake reporting.

It isn't how this works in Thailand!! More like leave time to exchange bribes for " it was just a misunderstanding", or to leave the country for a vacation if it gets real serious.

Lucky for GMO HQ, being far away...the shrine became to choice for vengeance.

"Hon, where should we go for vacation this year?" "I think to krrrr....krrrruuuu....krumpet mmmmm.....Bali should do"

With tourists number arguable about 5% of that back in 2019....rentals at a high? Yeah, right.

The creative committee is hard at work trying to a spin positive story for a near dead tourism.

True, it is low, but probably overdramatic. "About 9.2% of the world, or 689 million people, live in extreme poverty on less than $1.90 a day, according to the World Bank" 62 baht an hour is about 8x that... for context. by no means I say it is lots of money! Just a bigger reality.

Must be a Thailand first that a relative pretty Thai gal can't organize a gang of nearby, otherwise useless lads to gang up on one.... What is the world becoming if girls have to do even the name-calling and dirty fighting for themselves?!!

Thailand really don't want ppl here unless a willing slave laborer in or walking ATM.

And the 2 ingredients being present, money incentive +corruption, one will never know... The tourists has no option to request a new test from an unrelated lab if feel to dispute the result.

Additional to how many want to come, Also how many would like to go+come back, expat living here but can't really leave without needing to jump all hoops on return.

Must do something real nasty if the usual reshuffling or inactive post was shunned... like denied to take a bribe? Can't expect to keep those in the force, a serious offence against core value and culture! Must go!

The more they write about it, the more sounds like human trafficking... Pimping out vocational kids to Saudi, and importing in slave labor from Myanmar.

Pensioners don't qualify. Their monthly default riches: 600thb. Does that ever put 1200 thb in context?

"gourmets will tell you cuts from the tail and fillet as well as the penis are tasty." There is high demand for the later part; but due covid restrictions and non existent nightlife the supply is running low....- according to Pattaya "experts"

The story could read like this: " Amid rising pork prices, a quick thinking Thai man found way to free dinner"

Why Phuket? Ko Tao has a long reigning chaos, a ready candidate for full tilt of lawlessness.

"While Thailand has never charged an entry fee before," correct...but... Thailand had a 500thb exit fee early 2000s....that later got built into airport tax and thus the ticket price.

Do you realize that many condo comes short of 1 car per apartment? Do you realize that if most electric cars, then the parking lots need to be equipped all with an individual charger? Do you realize that most buildings current electric capacity need to be changed to be able to supply increased demand? Can whip yourself as much as your heart desire, overnight changes won't happen like that.
