  1. Slow news day or a sprained wrist from writing copious amounts of complete drivel?
  2. So, 25% increase in tourism, 15% slump. 30% drop in Chinks, 12% rise in tourist bathwater, tourists now spending 3.1% more than an hour ago but 14% down on year on year but 16% on month on month, week by week is minus 4%, but adjusted seasonally gives a nett 6% rise with 3% chance of meatballs. 150% increase in foul smelling tourists with a decrease of 1.5% in aircraft capacity, but with a 6% decrease in fuel charges, a 4% increase in airport taxes, 12% proposal to increase arrival taxes gives TAT a perfect score of Nett. Zero!
  3. Just use the free version, just like the rest of these awful products, they try to use fear. If you are using Windows, why not just dump Avast and use the built in Defender, it is as good as you need for day to day AV.
  4. Obviously it seems like the flocks, swarms, murders of tourists seem to be landing in Vietnam - (Not for one minute do I believe Thailand is losing out to the S. Korean dog eaters, no way. If Thailand cannot compete with the likes of them, then maybe its time to quit) On the other hand, maybe the flocks and swarms don't really fancy their two weeks in a year holiday. to be spent in a war zone.
  5. 7.1% mind you, not 6.9%, not 7.2%, a firm, well flocked to and well swarmed, "en massed upon" 7.1%, did one of the visitors forget to leave the plane? - Damn, it could have been 7.35%
  6. "No, no, no, no no! How many times must I tell you, if you want to make that little sausage thing appear before your eyes you have to put the tips of your index fingers together" "and stop staring at them when your doing it or your eyes will stay that way"
  7. My God, I'll go to the foot of our stairs! Only those damn foreigners drive like braindead chickens, imagine how bad the roads could be if more people, maybe even one or two Thai people were to drive just as badly, what carnage on the roads.
  8. Would it not make much more sense to have some sort of "Live" Tourist arrivals display, they could have it playing at all of the large outdoor TV screens they have for broadcasting overly loud drivel to the populace. It could show flight tracking data on the left side of the screen, with taxi movements in the centre of the screen and the fluctuating hotel rooms reflecting occupancy in real time. Just imagine it..... "look look Somchai, another 3 arrivals from East Timor, oh great, they just booked in to the holiday inn, that's another 4000 Baht for us!" "Quick, look at the monitor, 250 arrivals from UAE, and oh dear, 480 coming in from Mumbai, <deleted>!" It could have line graphs, bar graphs, coloured labels, it would be like watching the stock ticker in real time as arrivals come flocking, swooping, diving, metamorphosizing, spontaneously appearing all over Thailands airports, up 25%, down 55$ up a touch, down 3, up 1 two steps forward 10 steps back...... Fantastic! They should get the minister in charge of tourism, stick him in stocks on Sukhumvit and everytime the tourist arrivals drop, he gets smacked over the head with a hammer.
  9. Is this down to one or more than the following: a) Total incompetence. b)Mental incapacity/ c) Numerical Dyslexia. d) Brain Rot. e): Bureaucratic Thainess. f:) Fear for loss of face. g) Panic. h) Left Hand doesn't know what Right hand is doing.
  10. What, escaping FROM Thailand? Obviously not part of any flock, swarm or murder.
  11. She doesn't know it yet, but the guy is called is it "Banksy"? or something.
  12. Another hub of hubs! Thailand, Amazing Hubland, the Land of Hubs, hubba bubba.
  13. I see blood, broken bikes, broken people, but I seem to be missing any helmets.
  14. Who does the reporting? If you criticise you get banned - if they had proper journalists instead of dyslexic retards, we wouldn't pick fault. But who read that article, who checked it, who set up the page and the spelling? No one? A 5 year old wouldn't come up with this crap!
  15. What a pathetic ridiculous spouting of garbage! They promoted weed as a viable, legal business, got loads of locals to invest, then made it illegal again and ripped everyone off as usual, if you are not from the "preferred " stock, you will always be a "peasant" with these creatures running the show. Shame on them - but they are so arrogant that they have no shame!
  16. Never mind, it might go up to + 20% today if they can get an A380 to land.
  17. Guess up North we seem to be spared quite a large amount of idiots up here, I cannot understand why the locals put up with it.
  18. So the filthy pig was groping the girl - hack his balls off with a rusty blunt knife - When is the civilized world going to wake up to these middle eastern and eastern perverts? They just keep getting let off - time to make them think twice.
  19. Not sure about duty, but you could get problems (charged money) if you bring a "New" PC into the country. I don't know for certain if the rules still apply, but Chiang Mai airport customs stopped me when I brought a new PC from China with me back to Thailand as a gift to the kids in my wife's extended family (It was part of some test equipment controller - but repurposed with Windows) They were going to charge me duty or tax at the airport, but when I explained it was for the local Thai kids to help with school - The customs officer told me "Just tell me that it is NOT new" - which I did, and they let me bring it in free of charge. So a few years back, there was certainly a charge on new imported computers.
