  1. Talk about a hit to tourism... A war with a border country would be it.
  2. Like I've always said... Leave the dealing to the locals.
  3. Has he never watched a professional poker tournament... it involves betting with real money and assets on an outcome.
  4. Thailand is fine for elective, pre-scheduled, short-term procedures at elite facilities—if you can afford them. It’s not a good system for chronic conditions, emergencies outside of Bangkok, or affordable long-term care. Even at Bumrungard it's more a hard sell to get you to buy "packages", and the prices there keep going up. Thailand will eventually screw the pooch on any advantage they once had as greed firmly sets in (takes over). Mexico, India and Turkiye and better value for money.
  5. Nothing special about medical services in Thailand... If you are thai expect substandard care. If you are a foreigner expect to pay (substantially) more for the same substandard care. With the exception of dental and some plastic surgeries, you can do better elsewhere.
  6. Long haul airfares being what they are, don't see a lot of US families winging it over.
  7. Chinese, Arabs and Indians love to smoke... Keeping the tourist happy
  8. The golden triangle beckons the drug mule... The alure of easy money.
  9. Murder suicide (stranger things have happened)
  10. Russians have been operating with impunity for a long time now. About time Thai authorities started doing their jobs correctly
  11. Seems like a foolish man in a ruthless place... the outcomes are to be expected. Get smart or get busy getting taken.
  12. Smoking should be banned in all public spaces... What gives a smoker the right to pollute the air of others. Rude and obnoxious (both the smoke and the smoker). Go kill yourself in private. Let the whinnying begin in 3...2...1... 🤐
  13. Don't put a swift end to this, and Thailand will have an endless stream of homeless people coming here to try their luck sleeping on the beach (and don't think for a minute, they can't come up with airfare to get here to begin with).
  14. Just what Thailand needs more middle class anglos (an entire family no less) running away looking to live on the cheap. Thailand is already over the middle class coming here to retire on the cheap. Expect to see that change soon with stiffer financial requirements, but I digress. I'll say the over/under on the disallusion of the dream is 2 years... by then they will either love it or leave it. Good luck.
