Any thoughts on Trump referring to himself as a King? You think he was being serious on that?

Read my post again

That's just not true, find me a credible link stating that, not the South China Post based in Hong Kong that additionally does not state from where they took those stats or where from.

I'm not joining you in your speculative rhetoric

I am not attempting anything just asking for a link to your claim: "No, the PM commented about there being 30,000 Israelis in Pai." I did provide a link to the PMs remarks and it had nothing to do with that.

It also has lots of positive comments from local Thai's but since we cannot link to them its all a bit hypothetical

This one: "No, the PM commented about there being 30,000 Israelis in Pai." Please............. But everyone reading, including yourself, knows that what I have written is true.

On my very first visit to Thailand many moons ago, my FIRST impression was how rude and disrespectful the Israelis were towards the locals. LOL. how credible Still waiting for that Link from the PM

That's just not true. Tell me about Gaza? How about DOGE: Yvette Cooper sets up Elon Musk-style DOGE unit to root out Home Office waste How about immigration?

Its looking that way, instead of taking the best bits from Trump and disregarding the worst they just go on an all out attack.

Have you got a vote in the US?

You missed a bit out: As of February this year, 13 Israelis had been charged and deported for crimes ranging from theft to public nuisance, he added, according to the report by South China Morning Post. It also confirms that they are not "repetitive incidents".

Nope, you were making an excuse as to why Hamas got it wrong. Typical apologist. Hamas don't need excuses for the terror and the horror they inflict. Here's some more mistakes, bringing in hostages that are not due for release to watch the hostage show they put on to release the other hostages. Can make no head or tail of why they would do that apart from pure terror. I am sure some apologists will have a go though. "Hamas cruelly dangled freedom before 2 hostages while the Red Cross sat meters away. Every world leader should be publically outraged, demanding the hostages' release, slamming Hamas for this pure torture and condemning the Red Cross for doing nothing about it. No more excuses." https://x.com/HenMazzig/status/1893428166582030668

No I am asking you for a link: You have not provided a link to that comment with her stating that? Your quote: "No, the PM commented about there being 30,000 Israelis in Pai."

There is not 30,000 Israelis in Pai though, can you link to that quote from the PM? Official figures from the Thai Immigration Bureau reveal that in 2024, Pai welcomed 221,776 foreign tourists. UK nationals topped the list at 39,390 and Israeli tourists followed closely behind at 31,735, averaging 3,000 monthly, peaking at 4,000 during the high season Source

Of course I am not collating the complaints. No pure speculation and all embassies carry advice on behavior and etiquette for their countries nationalities. The PM commented with this: "PM scoffs at rumours of 'Israeli settlement' in Pai"

Yes PM commented denying the conspiracy theory. So you don't actually know. How many locals were happy with the business they brought in?

How many locals did they upset? "PM scoffs at rumours of 'Israeli settlement' in Pai"

I've already quoted from that link, it only mentions the same one, the hospital incident. There's not been another hospital incident has there? Like I said before a handful of reported incidents is all there has been there. Lots of wild accusations being thrown about that even the Thai PM has to quell: Another more conspiracy-minded post said some Israelis viewed Pai as a new “promised land” and that more than 30,000 had moved to the district. “Hold on a moment,” Ms Paetongtarn said. “We’ve already verified that this is not true.”

Where was the video from and what nationalities were they all?

Is everyone else wrong but you? I asked what repetitive incidents? Still waiting

It doesn’t seem to deter them, 30,000 showed up there last year. Why would it? less than a handful of incidents and you expect them to stop going to Pia?

I think you are confused. Its a copy and paste from your link Malcolm. Try reading it rather than accusing me of being confused.....😔

That sign is a file photo: "Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Tuesday dismissed reports that many Israelis who settled in Pai had posted signs to ban Thais from entering their properties.

Do I think you made what up? Also from the BP "Immigration police found no Israelis had broken the law during a recent gathering at the chabad in Pai. About 200 to 300 Israeli nationals gathered there to pray and they later had meals." and:
