  1. I take it, your glass is not only 'half full', but actually close to overflowing... 😆
  2. One has to worry, whether Trump will turn out to be the Herbert Hoover of the 21st century (or worse)...
  3. The five-day tourists from disease-stricken and economically crashed China... 😆
  4. I rather like to think, that neither he, nor his staff have a clue of economics... Yes, running casinos in Vegas is easy (or not), but he shouldn't gamble with the whole economy and financial markets like that. - Fire Musk, and hire Buffett!
  5. I want to believe that. How long, in your opinion, till markets recover to mid-February levels?
  6. How?? If you're fully invested, how can you 'buy the dips and the lows'?
  7. That guy can barely run a private enterprise successfully. Watch out how he will drive America into a recession, thanks to erratic economic decisions. 😑
  8. I noticed that Thai IOs at Arrival need quite a bit longer to check all data on the computer as their colleagues in other countries. Just imagine, they have to read and check all those TM6 online too... The average time per arrival will maybe go up to 10 minutes; just imagine the looong queues... 😆
  9. No. We all lived happily ever after... 😆
  10. Spot on. I once had an argument with a moto-taxi-rider, which seemed relatively low-key. Still, I later heard that his whole group then plotted to murder me because of this verbal exchange!
  11. Foreigners being declared responsible for damage and harm, even if they are not; what's new? But unlike "kidnappings of Chinese" they don't seem to worry about possible repercussions in the media.
  12. Also, we don't know how well those websites will work. Being already stressed out when travelling long-distance, I would not want to do this 'last minute' at the airport. Will there even be fast and free wifi at Arrival to do this while standing in line at the Immigration counter?
  13. Don't the Uyghurs have Chinese nationality? - Next headline in the works: "Chinese tourists not coming because of deportations"... 😆
  14. "There is no such thing as happiness." Not with that attitude... 😏
  15. Morocco - Istanbul - Abu Dhabi - Bangkok - Spain... quite a detour to get there. Why didn't they just get on a boat like everyone else? 😆
  16. Never boring. Politicians always coming up with crazy tourism schemes, e.g. 'drinking zones for tourists'...
  17. "Drinking zones for certain tourists"... Count me out, Thailand... 🙄
  18. Maybe. But what did high tariffs do for America and the world 95 years ago? And the financial markets (investors) seem to agree with Buffett.
  19. I mostly agree. However, tariffs for Chinese imports make sense due to dumping prices and heavy subsidies by Beijing. Of course the tariffs for Canada and Mexico are mostly based on politics (illegal immigration) and the drug-trade, so they don't make sense, and are counter-productive.
  20. Yes, two years ago.
  21. Well, this being Phuket, I'd like to know, did they agree on a price, or did the driver request extra money on top, or did the Russians just not pay the agreed price? Also, did the driver try to overcharge the Russians, and they knew it, fleeing to, possibly, avoid a violent confrontation?
  22. And I thought, I had read very recently that 'Africa' is the future for Thailand's tourism industry. 😆
