MMCC is not hard to understand, but why people deny it is.

calling people "hypocrites" doesn't mitigate MMCC in any way.

It's called NHS - but only in the UK.

Skin Cancer - Brits especially are unaware of this.

Hass the Grand Seaview Resotel, Nathon re-opened yet?.It has been a building site for 2 years now.

Not looking good, is it?

So very, very sad - has the whole chain gone under?

so that is completely different isn't it???

Scapegoating and the "blame game" as ever avoids the real issues.

THe sad thing about this "probe" is it seems to be concentrating on this single incident - what needs to be examines to the WHOLE system. It requires massive reform and even constitutional reform as it brings into question the functioning of institutions like the police and civil service - such basics as how they see their roles.

How do you support that claim?

Although I disapprove of dual pricing, you are making a fals dichotomy - are you aware of the UK National parks and how they are run, funded and even delineated and regulated?

I have invented a new car tyre - it has a lifetime that is twice as longer, a grip that is over twice as effective. sounds good? However as my starting point was a banana skin you may want t think again. The same applies to this announcement by the DNP

most definitely not - except in some of the marine parks around the Andaman coast - however the distribution of funds is questionable.

I think the OP is nonsense - apparently a round up of ALL polls leaves the situation very much up in the air. I don't really see the significance of the polls on this thread - it seems that it's nothing to do with the actual politics or issues they just thing it's like sports - who gonna win? It doesn't make any difference if Trump wins - you can't vote the earth flat - it just means 4 years of "I told you so"

of course you do!!!

so declared yourself an idiot more than once, then?

Why would you bother to post this at all?

I don't drink or make assumptions...I'm looking for reliable experience.....when was the last time you crossed a land birder? Which one and when?

I think you need to realise that I'm asking for current information. When you arrive at the border, the decision to let you in and for how long is down to the officer in front of you. It doesn't take much for immigration to issue stronger guidelines to officers and things change. It would seem that it is you who is out of touch with how things work in Thailand....and quite prepared to show that for all to see....embarassing!

By land sea and air - if returning for a second time?

Somebody was saying that crossing into Thailand overland you now only get 30 days - has anyone EXPERIENCED this themselves - or otherwise?

You just don't geddit - there are videos all over the world of that. In fact it just shows how uncritical you are of what you see (search for, even) on line. You don't understand "big number" or how to get an accurate overview by using statistics - in fact you just don't have the education to grasp the basics here - there are several millions of road users in Thailand trying to make naive, childish conclusions because of what you, one person has seen just shows how little you understand - I bet left to your own devices, you'd think the world was flat.

Why do people think they are “experts” on things they know nothing about. (Why do they keep trying to use that word as a derogatory term or erroneous concept?) …… If they drive a car they think they are "experts" on driving, ….. because they went to school they are "experts" on education ……. and because they have been in hospital they think they are "experts" on health care? Many people mistake their personal experience with these topics as way more informative than it really is. They mistake the significance of personal experience (of bad habits) as a general overview of a topic far more complex than they ever conceive. It is important to be aware of the cognitive biases that can lead people to overestimate their knowledge and abilities. If you find yourself thinking that you are an expert on something you know little about, it is important to take a step back and assess your knowledge critically. You may be surprised at how little you actually know. Here are examples of the cognitive biases that lead to the nonsense promulgated on this thread. The Dunning-Kruger effect is when people with limited knowledge in a particular area overestimate their abilities in that area. Because they lack the knowledge and experience to actually understand how much they don't know. For instance they may think they can’t be a backseat driver because they have a driving licence Confirmation bias is when people seek out only information that confirms their existing beliefs, and ignore or dismiss information that contradicts those beliefs. These people to believe that they are experts on a topic even if they have only superficial knowledge of it.. They are often “one quote wonders” – e,g,, someone who believes that vaccines cause autism will only seek out information that supports that belief, and they might ignore or dismiss any evidence to the contrary. The “availability heuristic” is a mental shortcut that we use to make judgments about the likelihood of something happening based on how easily examples of it come to mind. Or how often they see them on YouTube etc….. This leads people to overestimate their own expertise and they don’t realise the relative insignificance of the few examples or the times when they appeared to get it right. For example, someone who has successfully driven a car a few times might think they are an expert driver, even all they have done is driven a lot of miles or never had an accident themselves. They are like someone who backs a winner in the Derby horse race and then claims they are an expert on horse racing. All this sees the same false syllogism repeated all over threads on road safety….. The false syllogism goes thus…… Premise 1: There are frequent road accidents in Thailand. Premise 2: Most of the people involved in these accidents are Thai. Conclusion: Therefore, all Thai people are bad drivers, and by contrast, Westerners are good drivers Total racist rubbish – but it also prevents people from taking an objective viewpoint on road safety in Thailand.
