The right lane is for those turning right. The middle one is for those who « might » turn right. And the left one is for those that are sure they want to go straight on. Clear as mud.

Maybe he escaped a call center and they were chasing him ?

Saying what not many will say. If three certain countries went elsewhere, then Thailand would have more success in sustainable tourism.

Japan is a super fascinating country, lovely people , very polite , lots of food choice, lots to do there, super clean, and marvelous transport. I find the country mesmerizing and hope to go again early April for the Cherry blossom season.

I love Koh Chang and feel sorry about your recent troubles due to the chaos of border fighting which is certainly a no no for attracting tourists. As a long time visitor of Koh Chang , I think I have stayed in every upmarket hotel from White Sands to Kai Bee. Mostly the latter. I will say that the hotels have gone a bit over the top with their rates in the last 2 years. I do admit that it’s not only a problem in KChang, but the island is difficult to get to and for me a car with private driver there and back to Bangkok starts to add up. The flight option doesn’t save time . Another problem is that I have also noticed that the main villages there are being a bit neglected, with trash . It was much cleaner when there were less tourists. When you pay more, you expect more.

Not only the rich. There are probably hundreds of thousands of Thais living abroad , and all the workers in UAE , etc.

From reading reports the Cambodian army started moving forward towards the border since February. Long before the famous telephone call that was probably a set up by Hun Sen.I doubt we will ever hear the truth behind it.

Heard exactly this more than a month back.

Too right !!!! It should not be allowed. If King Power want to play politics then they should keep it to their own country. Imagine if every country , cricket , swimming, athletics, do the same.

But this isn’t * normally * is it * ? And if anyone was trigger happy it was the Cambodian soldiers.

Nothing wrong in keeping troops there. It’s common border control.

A loud mouth fool, nothing else.

My condolences to the family , I missed the last few posts.

Definitely he should speak to the nursing home. It’s in their interest that the father stays there. Also the care home can do all the necessary paper work for immigration etc. I have contacted them for my uncle and I know they do this and are very compétant . The father might not want to go back to his country . I have friends who have lived here all their lives and never think of going back. Personally, if it was my father or mother I would want to be near them too, so I quite understand the situation. The son should see the home office immediately and take advice. At worst a METV.

The emphasis is on New Wealthy Individuals. I was in Central Embassy and the shoppers I saw there were Thai . A few other Asians. Thais with money will buy in Bangkok , but foreign wealthy will not., they have it all at home and in nearby countries. Also there a limit of stock they can have on hand, sizes , colors . The foreign rich aren’t flocking to Bangkok. There’s nothing there for them. They’re used to California, Monaco, Cannes , Nice, Paris, where the hotel Palaces are and the world s famous chefs. Where they can dock their yachts and buy all the supplies locally. Or invest in wine country land houses like Clooney and Brad Pit, and have the fully qualified staff that they need to look after everything. Bangkok will never have that, could never give them what they need. Just the air pollution would frighten them away, no money can alter that.
