Win Big in Thailand: Foreigners Welcome to Try Their Luck in the Lottery
It seems that some visitors resent the hard push to buy a lottery ticket. The Pattaya Mail reports one saying, “I buy food, I rent a condo, I tip generously. Why would I need to buy a lottery ticket to support local business?” asked one longtime visitor. “What’s next — tipping the construction workers?”

No one ever says they are going to find out why there is a demand for drugs and figure out how to lower demand.- Thailand Tourism: Falling Behind or Ready to Evolve?
Perhaps Thailand hasn't realised other countries are attractive as tourists search for something "new". Businesses think they can increase profits indefinitely. But national economies can only do this by switching to a variety of new industries that meet new demand so that overall they can keep growing. Thailand has got stuck on the idea that there is only one industry that can grow indefinitely - tourism. It appears they aren't interested in developing people to enter new industries.- Ellen DeGeneres Ditches the US for UK Bliss Amid Trump’s Reign

Strange. Whenever my SCB account gets to a certain amount I withdraw it and move it to GSB. The manager runs over every time and wants to know why I am moving the money. I tell him it is because I can get a better interest rate elsewhere. With the government wanting to lower interest rates to increase loans, they should know we will look for the best interest.- /Featured Quiz9 August - Featured Quiz -Thailand Current Affairs week ending 9 Aug 2024

Thanks for making this statement, Sir, but I regret to inform you may have to search for "childhood diseases" to discover it is a commonly held understanding of what they entail. Many diseases hit children first but can also affect adults later in life. In developed countries, vaccinations for certain diseases start following birth and into school. diphtheria measles poliomyelitis tetanus Chickenpox Mumps Rubella Maybe it would be better to say, "diseases that frequently occur most often in childhood". Measles is a hot topic today and most who catch and spread it are children (I guess because of close proximity in school). http://www.bccdc.ca/schools/Documents/EN_Guide_Childhood_Diseases.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/parents/children/diseases-and-conditions.html https://www.britannica.com/science/childhood-diseases-and-disorders Have a good day.- SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - Is Caused By Vaccines
My parents agreed to me being vaccinated as a baby and further into junior school. I was not given a choice. In school it was, "Join the queue and roll up your shirtsleeve." I got none of the childhood diseases except for chickenpox. The polio vaccine was given dropped on a cube of sugar. It was great! If vaccines killed up to 30% of those vaccinated, I would understand if people said no. But they don't. - JD Vance warned he's 'utterly unwelcome' over UK vacation plans
