    Thailand has been facing a decline in Western tourists for a decade now. There are a dozen good reasons why Westerners don't visit Thailand as much as they used to. I was recently in Phuket and I would estimate the population of foreigners was 40% Russian, 20% Arab, 20% Malaysian and Chinese, 15% Indian, and about 2% Westerners and a sprinkling of some others. It was a low end crowd. 

     

    The sad truth is that Thailand is not doing anything to improve itself they are making absolutely no effort to tackle air quality environmental issues traffic congestion or any other problems plaguing the nation. It seems to be a combination of sloth lack of vision and extreme arrogance. 

    Thailand is a first world country with a third world mentality

    The usual cold calls I receive are from Thai folk & its immediately obvious what’s going on, I drop the call before they get to their pitch… 

     

    The irritating part if that is the timing of the call sometime at 8am etc.


     

    BUT…. I also get cold called from a British male, London accent, quite brash sounding….  Same guy has called numerous times over the past few years to the point I recognize his voice immediately & tell him… nope & cut off - whatever he’s trying to sell or scam

    me for I’m not I interested - but the disturbance is annoying such that I’m

    100% against what’s he’s possibly offering before his finished his intro. 

     

    Anyone who else ???  His voice is very recognizable.

     

     

    I recognize his voice immediately & tell him… nope & cut off ,You are far too polite I tell them to <deleted> off then block them

    Oh for goodness sake what a whinging load of keyboard warriors but then that's nothing unusual for AN is it? Nothing better to do with your time I guess. I couldn't give a hoot. Learn to live with the law (or non-law) of the land. You are here on a Visa which entitles you to stay for as long as it lets you. Why worry about Thai politics, it's not going to change anytime soon. So go sit in your favourite bar, with a bottle in one hand and whatever else in the other, and just let the time while away the time until you meet your maker. It's not worth getting all up-tight about something that ain't your concern.

    People living in a foreign country are not immune to the politics of that country

    Mr T's hate mob have (has?) run out of steam. Today's jokes are very weak: Tonsils, appendix, hangnail, circumcision..... tee hee. 

    Come on guys, up your game. 

    Y'all need a new hate figure to vent your collective spleen at. 

    Never mind, there'll be another one along soon.
