    The Ministry of Finance has unveiled an ambitious plan to transform Thailand into a leading entertainment complex hub, aiming to compete with Las Vegas and Macau. Deputy Finance Minister Chulaphan Amornvivat announced that within five to ten years, Thailand could rank as the third-largest destination for entertainment complexes worldwide, drawing in hundreds of billions of baht in investment and tourism.

    Seems like it's a done deal...

    Over 14,000 people lost their lives in motorcycle accidents across the country in 2024 alone. The sheer scale of these deaths highlights an enduring crisis on Thailand's roads, necessitating immediate intervention.

    How about real riding lessons, a real qualifying test and mandatory helmet wearing.

    Instead of the nonsensical riding test, voluntary helmet wearing and a police force that doesn't force anything.

    The suspects—44-year-old Priyanka Kumar from Delhi, 19-year-old Ishika Kaltari from Bhopal, and Asma Bano Rajab, in her early 40s from Gujarat—were caught with nearly 9 kilogrammes of potent marijuana among them. According to a Mumbai Airport spokesperson, Priyanka was carrying 3.24kg, Ishika had 3.52kg, and Asma 1.86kg, all concealed within their luggage.

    Only idiots would continue to try to do this.

    Sounds like a case of "pedal error". He sailed up the road and through the wall thinking he had his brake pedal to the floor.

     

    Not an uncommon event.

     

    He probably walked away from pure embarrassment - I would. :coffee1:

    “He was revving the engine for about three minutes. It kept stalling. Then suddenly it surged forward straight into the house,” he said. “

    Sounds more like he got it started and shoved it into gear.. high revs and away we go.

    The place got popular so they jacked up rents and prices but didn't maintain quality.  Now, it's not a good value.

     

    All of Thailand could take a lesson here.

     

    Yeah, took a once thriving foody area, spiced it up, jacked up the prices and then wondered where everyone went...

    In a groundbreaking achievement for Thailand, CP Foods (CPF) is set to send its renowned chicken dish, "Gai Kaphrao" (chicken with holy basil), to astronauts aboard the International Space Station on June 9, 2025. This initiative marks the first-ever delivery of Thai cuisine to space, showcasing the exceptional safety and quality standards of Thai food production.

    I'm sure the version sent up to the space station won't be like the street version dished up over here.

    Thailand, a perennial magnet for retirees due to its enchanting blend of affordability, warm climate, and vibrant culture, is recalibrating its approach to foreign residents—a shift with significant implications. Known for golden beaches, delectable cuisine, and the famed hospitality that has earned it the moniker, "Land of Smiles," Thailand has historically welcomed foreign retirees with open arms, offering them a slice of tropical paradise that's both accessible and affordable. However, new policies suggest a distinct pivot towards the affluent, leaving many long-time admirers questioning their future in a country once synonymous with retirement tranquillity.

    Invite them to stay with more hurdles... that always works..

    Unfortunately, while ascending the steep hotel path, Bruce, reportedly under the influence, lost her footing and fell approximately 6 to 7 metres.

    That sounds very dodgy?

    Alcohol or not, no safety barriers, or did she literally fall back down the slope/steps??
