Another ironic thing I must mention is I notice if I eat a lot of garlic and ginger for a week the mozzies stay away from me

...not only mozzies, but many many of your acquaintances will take off as soon as they see you from a distance. garlic is good for the body, but bad for the breath

A family of leopards were recently photographed at Kaeng Krachan National Park, delighting tourists with their presence.

...the leopards weren't delighted, though! the tourists were safe in a car, i guess, cos we know that  as far as the leopards are concerned, tourist or not, human flesh is good to eat

Yoshida had just exchanged a substantial amount of US dollars, approximately 310,000 Thai baht (US$8,694), and placed the money in his backpack, which he carried on his back while shopping. Within minutes, his money was gone, believed to have been stealthily taken by the gang.

How can they 'signal their presence' if no-one can see who it is who has put the emoji? (Except the Mods)

Thailand’s tourism industry has not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels either in terms of foreign tourist arrivals or revenues.

..."to pre-pandemic levels"? maybe, but people tend to forget the profound impact of the "special operatiion" on the global economy
