Gold Star

Thai logic:

More tourists = Must raise prices as there is so much demand.

Less tourists = Must raise prices to make more profit from less sales to make up the difference.

What about something to thank the thousands of expats with strong ties to Thailand, or living here that have stuck it out through the tough times of the pandemic? We have transferred our funds during hard times, and injected money in the local  economy to support families, friends, and other less well off Thai people stranded in the devastated economies, ignored and left to fend for themselves.

Those in power have shiny ball syndrome, thinking China is the future, while ignoring core support.  I for one feel snubbed. 

Throw us dogs a bone here...

Electronics has some very toxic stuff being processed, lucrative when done in the absence of environmental controls. These kinds of business will get more common when they start recycling EVs everywhere, regardless of the country of origin. 

Vax certs are not a problem.

Forcing people to buy the manditory Thai Covid insurance is.

Why no mention of it here?

I hope preparations include offering protective hockey equipment for the other diners at the hotel buffet.

I got a Russian advent calendar this year.

Every day I open a window, an Oligarch falls out.

Before they descend on us again like locusts, has Thailand really solved the Chinese zero dollar tour problem? 

They used to arrive on Chinese aircraft, ride Chinese busses, stay in Chinese hotels, eat at Chinese restaurants, and be herded into Chinese souvenir shops.  They crowded tourist sites, and clogged the roadways, sidewalks, and buffets making one wish they wore hockey equipment to dinner. 

Not much money remained in Thailand compared with other visitors. 

I hope that this time they have changed the model so that the invasion is at least worth the agony, displacement, and disturbance to all the other tourists and Thais.

They should do the reenactment at the crocodile farm.

Red? Really???

Remember, next time you are hit, try to bleed out on the white stripe so they can find your body faster.

I say hang him

He may have been well hung already.

The GF and I were nearly decapitated by a wire on a highway riding near Satun, and nearly electrocuted many times.

I am certain I will meet my end here due to shoddy electrical work.

Modern warships just don't 'sink', no matter what the seas may throw at it. 

There must have been something catastrophic that caused the engines to fail, then the pumps, either technical, or gross negligence.

A hull crack may be a possible cause.

We may never know the truth.

Very sad for all those lost.

Ferrys or warships in Thailand, make sure you have your own lifevest.

What a stupid idea.

People come to walk along the seaside and along the beach, stopping along the way, not be crammed into a hot metal box from end to end.

It seems they want to address foot traffic, unless you can hang your vehicle below the cablecar.

Why not just send a drone, and people could just watch the beach online from their own country?

Pornstars on an ED visa was the tip-off.

Has anyone ever successfully robbed a gold shop in Thailand? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

With a friend like this, who needs enemies?

If Thailand wants to join the advanced F35 club, they have to pick a side and commit to buy the whole set. That means cutting ties with the Chinese. Not likely.
