Korean soldier tests positive on return from Thailand

However comprehensive research by Royal Thai Army experts has conclusively proven that the Korean soldier contracted the disease....by illegally viewing unauthorized videos on PornHub.

Hopes rise, as Thailand continues developing vaccine against COVID-19

Sounds like....

....the idea is to try and rip off Pfizer's vaccine...copy it...rebrand it...and market it as a product of the Hero-General's collection of mad scientists.

That would be so....Thai.

Single Entry Tourist Visa to Thailand now requires foreigners to show funds of 500k THB

Tourism flat-lined months ago....they killed it....it's gone....why do these morons keep pumping bullets into the dead body? Are they trying to make it...more dead?

Thammanat's wife handed job in PM’s Secretariat

Does she have to do any actual work?...does she have to even show up at the office?...or will her 15 million Baht per month salary go straight (less 60% into the General's Cayman Island account) into her Singapore bank?

As with a lot of other people, police have seen moneymaking opportunities quickly drying up all around them. And with true entrepreneurial spirit…they’re looking at ways to diversify, modernize, and expand their business model.

I used to think the O-A visa was dead in the water the moment they added the insurance requirement…

But reading through this extremely interesting and well-written post suggested a rethink. It provided a wealth of genuinely important information for everyone who is O-A eligible. The many reader inputs combined with the original post to put a lot of subject knowledge in one place. Outstanding product. We are truly fortunate to have yet one more unselfish member….who puts in a lot of work just to help people.

This post has certainly made me a smarter person…and my faith in the future of the O–A visa has been revived and restored.

Thanks Peter.

Ong Ang Walking Street opens as new attraction in Bangkok

Another first-class, number-one, Hall of Fame idea....

Throw in a marching band or two, a few jugglers, and maybe some clowns riding unicycles....and they're sure to attract/woo/tempt/lure hundreds of millions of free-spending tourists Chinese.

Happy days are here again.

Now Kiatsak Sriwonchai from City Hall said that work to improve bus parking and access is either finished or in progress. 

Yes, bus parking absolutely needs to be Pattaya's number one priority....you can't have a premier, world-class holiday destination without lots of buses.

Prayut greeted by hopeful locals

Another breathtaking performance by the People’s Politician…

The people weep with joy to witness his holy presence, to be touched by his soothing wise words, to bask in the warmth of his everlasting love.....

....but perhaps even more to to be entranced by the luminous glow of his perfectly cared for shoes…eagerly and contentiously shined by the devoted and loving caretaker of his footwear.

May such important shoes live long and prosper,

Prayut and Cabinet check tourism preparations on Samui

Don’t sit down yet….the fun is just beginning…

The Hero-General will now take all of his ‘yes men’, shoe shiners, story tellers, and court jesters to Phuket for the weekly circle jerk.

A splendid and lively time will be had by all.

Companies that are departing Thailand are doing so for purely Commercial reasons.

Thailands workforce are not as skilled as some of the workers in Vietnam.

The strong Baht, Too many Holidays, poor production per man hour, and many , many issues with Red Tape, are just more of the hurdles placed in front of Business in Thailand.

Covid has just accelerated the process of restructuring and  relocating the Business Models for many Companies that do not wish to face problems from outsourced components which are locked in due to shutdowns Etc.

 

You forgot to mention that Thai workers need a minimum of six hours per day...to play with their phones.

Phuket: "Graveyard Patong" - where even the 7-Eleven is shut

No....no....no...it has nothing to do with the evil and treasonous 'fake news' reporting economic disaster.

When the people in Patong heard the Hero-General was coming....they all took time off from their extremely profitable tourism jobs to go to the temple....where they worshiped and made merit in honor of the divine savior's safe arrival.

As everywhere in Thailand...a visit from the Hero-General is a sacred and momentous occasion. One which never fails to cause joy, celebration and an unrestrained outpouring of love and gratitude from the people.

That's already a done deal...

What's your top advice for buying a house in Thailand?

Don’t spend any more money than you can afford to lose.

The president of the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT) is confident that a tourism target can be achieved in the high season thanks mainly to stimulus measures from the government.

Not to mention the extraordinary stimulus provided by those 41….(or is it 39?....37?)…Chinese tourists who have already spent 7,563,114, 842 Baht...and still have billions more to spend.

TAT predicts 11 million tourists from China/East Asia in 2021

Perhaps TAT should open a museum dedicated to Thailand's illustrious leader.

A holy place dedicated to his life story, heroic accomplishments, dazzlimg brilliance, and unparalleled contributions to Thailand's peace, happiness and prosperity. A monument to his greatness would surely prove irresistible to tens of millions of Chinese pilgrims...eager to donate lavish sums of money for supreme spiritual guidance.

After all, he is the one and only...Hero-General.
