  1. The way economies work, there aren't really any Thais that don't rely on foreigners for income at least partially. Even if most Thais do not want foreigners here, they certainly all want foreigners money to be in Thailand.
  2. Shouldn't they change the country to make it more attractive to the fewer but wealthier tourists first?
  3. It's quite a dichotomy between the very conservative hi-so and the very un-conservative low-so.
  4. "You think me uncaring because I cut off your finger?!! You have nine more!!!"
  5. How can anyone have had contact with a new variant if everyone entering the country is tested upon arrival? If no one is entering the country and being allowed into the general populace without testing, then how can the new variant get here?
  6. You implied that it was more likely that a trans person would be attacked than a trans person would attack someone. I assume you have a source for that, otherwise you would not have said it. Can you share the source please?
  7. And your source for violent acts perpetuated by trans individuals to support your claim fully?
  8. News is mostly for entertainment purposes. It's common to report the genders and ages involved, maybe home towns.
  9. I don't think it classes as "click-bait". That's normally something that is misleading in some way. I.e. you see something in a headline or title, then you click it and it turns out to not quite be true. Maybe sensationalism, but not clickbait.
  10. General interest? Relevance to the story? That's how people write news reports?
  11. I didn't think of that. It's actually the "&" I was wondering about. The real name is "Whisky a-go-go".
  12. He will pose as a travel blogger, which he is suggesting is a style of digital nomad, in order to take advantage of the "nomad visa".
  13. Given that the cause of this unfortunate person's money woes is apparently the pandemic, which no one could have possibly predicted, I think it was reasonable for her to assume that her income was fairly stable. Also, fleeing an abusive partner and becoming a single mother probably didn't make things easier. (Sure, we could blame her for choosing a low-life, but that's not really relevant here.) Not really her fault.
  14. Probably not the thing that should grab my attention when watching that video. ???? ????‍♂️
  15. The secondary tax system of brown envelopes ensures people get a cut at most levels.
  16. Whiskey & Go Go? Is that a misspelling or a trade mark issue?
  17. Perhaps it will come back like prostitution. "There is no alcohol consumption in Thailand."
  18. Exactly. My first thoughts: "This sounds way to easy and there are no racist comments. What's the catch?"
  19. My first thought when they said Chiang Mai.
