Last time I checked, the Netherlands, technically, were not part of Norway... 😆

Probably closer to 2081... 😆

Really? How many Thai tour guides are fluent in a foreign language, not to mention speak it in a comprehensive way?

Hope they're insured... (And, if so, why only 50,000 baht?) 😆

The headline is, at best, confusing, and, at worst, misleading... IF it was paid by Thailand's tax payers, why is the expense quoted in £?

Hope for Thailand that national pride and quarrel about a few square miles is worth losing 100 billion (and counting). After all, it's comparable to the income from only 2.5 million tourists.. 🤔

According to Google: "Tourist police volunteers in Thailand are not real, sworn police officers (...)"

So, will there be clampdowns on the nightlife to save the 'family and moral image of Pattaya'? (Alcohol laws are already in line with Muslim standards, I hear...) 😆

What are "international officers"? 😆

This soi is the bottom of the barrel. Ive never been in a bar on 6/1, didn't know there were bars, but if there are bars I'm sure nothing is out of bounds Indecent acts in Pattaya, Soi 6/1... 😲 What is the world coming to?

Maybe the taxi drivers were too busy that night... 😆

That's, at least, 97 banknotes... Someone was out to have a big party night. Didn't know, Aussies carried that much cash with them.

Yeah, but still they're the preferred tourists in Thailand... 'Amazing!' 😆

These people often don't know where to get help... If one runs out of money, the obvious step to take is go home. Embassies will help to contact relatives, or friends for money. (The embassy otherwise may lend the money, getting it back later. - Been there, so I know that it is easy for a foreign ministry to track down one's whereabouts to ask for the money back...)

Haven't been to Pattaya for a while... Is Runway Market on Second Road the latest party or tourist zone in Pattaya? 😆

Well, personally, I wouldn't travel anywhere only because an influencer tells me about a destination.

Like opening new bank accounts... My K-Bank bank account was emptied out while I was abroad via an elaborate scam! I complained with the bank, but couldn't even get an overview about the total damage. I was asked to talk to some staff over the phone, but, without getting any money refunded. No written acknowledgement whatsoever about the complaint! - And the worst thing is, I cannot even close the account and move on, as it is so difficult now to open new bank accounts...

So, instead of a giving visitors a hospitable and memorable experience that makes them return, they mostly try to coerce people with the help of influencers to visit, if only once... 🤔

Well, I guess, soybean exports to China are 'peanuts' for the U.S. economy as a whole, but getting by without (or with much more expensive) imports of, well, almost everything from China, will be very tough for America.

It's cube-shaped, of course... 😆

Sitting on the fence, watching how it will pan out over the next couple weeks... And yes, 'China cannot lose', as Xi gives a rat's a** about his country's exports to the U.S., or his citizens' growing unemployment and misery...

Certainly a step up from suggesting 'injecting disinfectant'... 😆

Yes, me too. Had a very bad cold, initially causing breathing problems and fever, and, as I still had to go to work, it lasted for not less than 14 days.

What the duck is the guard doing; rinsing him off? 😆

And the Nobel Peace Prize Winner is encouraging him! (I'm not judging.)
