The durian ice cream sounds tasty. 99 Baht is not to be sniffed at.????

Well it's 40/45 baht for a Magnum choc-ice.... that yummy Svensons one sounds a better deal for 100baht...

Prerequisite for a Prime Ministership should be experience owning a restaurant.

And having some common sense and empathy with the people you govern .

There seems to be several names for them, possibly according to different districts.   Here are a couple of news items as examples.

Thank you kindly !

it's the local authorities aided and abetted by their civil defence volunteers.

Genuine question... Have you any link to this task force as I really had no idea about it. Thank you .

Not really.   Certain areas can be over zealous in this (I'm thinking particularly of Rawai), where local officials were visiting restaurants and checking individual bills for signs of no food being ordered.

That's almost gestapo stuff.... immediately sends a " don't succumb to this sort of insult to your intelligence " thought to my brain... No ! And pay dearly for the privilege .... not on yer Nelly !

Marketing materials will refer to Pattaya's new image as "BLUE".

In the past people used to ask the local video shop for a BLUE ....Porn ! 

Was there anyone from Isaan polled ?

If this percentage of Thais really do believe this, then they deserve everything they get.

The number of people polled was under 2000....the population is close to 69 million I'm told....

I have to reluctantly say, rather here than Angeles, where I almost stayed for good. It was third world there, dirt roads, burning garbage daily, the wet markets the most pathetic I'd ever seen, "fresh" was limp and spoiled veges, so I left. I can only imagine the horror there now...

I visited Angeles PI 2 years ago for the first time ... I booked a 3 week return flight. Luckily I only booked the first week's accommodation... After 5 days in Angeles I couldn't take anymore . 
I flew to Bangkok and changed my return flight from Manilla to BKK ...cost me a bit but anything was worth getting out of that hellhole.

France has given corvid injection to everybody ,saved the tourist season life is nearly back to normal. , ask yourself why thailand did not do the same. 

 

 

Same in Ireland ...I was visiting family in West Cork but we avoided the closest town to their house (Schull) because it was overrun with tourists ....but other towns in the area were the same.... great for the economy ...

Tell that to Anutin who wouldn't even accept a free gift of a million Pfizer vaccines ... the best one.... from USA , with a promise to send more as the USA did for Indonesia.... 8 million free....Wouldn't bother to fill out the required paperwork and denying his incompetence....

So I hope the Thai Leaders keep watching the disgraceful melee of innocent people risking infection frantically trying to get vaccinated in your other headline today but don't insult human intelligence by denying culpability. 
That video won't be included in TAT's next exciting announcement to foreigners .

it is very obvious someone is trying to rip them off - no surprise there 

My gut feeling is that you are correct but  I would be concerned if this is not exposed and investigated . "We're told" ... by whom ? ...need to know this first. If it's the hotel, a travel agent , an airline , You challenge it . 
Has anyone dug deeper on this one  ?

Where does it say NEW WORLD CURRENCY ? Big difference ... the ad suggests that the Yuan can be used or obtained easily anywhere or used  all over the world...same as other big currencies...and is available in Thailand now...nothing sinister there about being the NEWWORLD currency.
