    Exactly

    Younger Thais & Brits both love a good ruck. However the use of a metal bar in a public are is just nuts.

    Motor sports are not limited to just F1. I see no reason for Thailand not having more race tracks and rally courses. Soon Bangkok will be underwater so why invest there at all ?

    Note Buriram Airport already has a major new terminal building probably designed with international flights in mind and associated runway expansion nearing completion. Chang International Circuit with a Moto GP Race track layout is about 38Km from the airport. A major investment currently operating with only 2 return flights a day to DMK airport in Bangkok - "Amazing Thailand". I wonder if the PM is fully aware.

    But no crack down on stray dogs to protect Thailand's world class tourism image.

    In Thailand it is actually not easy to find a vet to euthanize a sick pet. Not all vets perform this service. I think a court would have to order the euthanization for it to happen promptly.

    Elsewhere the picture is very different. It is not about GDP it is about the 1,000s of expats living locally. There can be no income tax based on residentcy without representation & benefits. In the rural areas the 65K-150K a month typically spent locally will be lost if expats leave - it will hurt the locals personally big time.

    Done.

    Nothing.................. My local Thai community will loose the Thai Baht I am taxed directly. They will get nothing of my taxes invested locally. It will be a net loss locally. In fact it could hasten a total loss locally if I exit Thailand.

    "No tax without representation". Anyone up for a Thai Tea party?

    Okay so she tickets the box for being well educated - not exactly Ivy League though. Maybe she will become an American Presidential candidate down the road if things do not work out here in Thailand - the only qualification needed is to have been born in the USA which she was it seems. I wonder which airline her husband flies for.
