I used to fly Oman from 2012 and the following years. First they had BC 1-2-1 seats and by far the best service I ever had. The airport was as small like a provincial train station, short ways to the gates and just one hour stopover. And the prices were reasonable.

Later the changed the seats, the service declined and from one day to the other they increased the prices by 4 or 500 Euro for return.

So I switched back to Thai with their even worse service because they're the only ones except LH offering nonstop flights to Muc plus a very comfortable departure time in BKK.

BTW: Do they use the new Muscat airport now?

Another family wiped out on Thai roads. Rip.

But it's crazy with 4 people on a motorbike. It is absolutely impossible to controll the bike if something goes wrong.

I use the Touratech Aventuro. Very good airflow and multi functional:

THAI losses Bt12 billion in 2019

Solution:

Reduce service (if even possible) and increase ticket prices.

Not only from UK but from all western countries. That would be the the hardest punishment freaks like this ...deleted... could ever face.

Sadly it won't happen, because there's a pound, a dollar and a euro to be made.

Greece must secure it's land borders. 

It desperately tries to.

But instead of providing them with money and all they need the german hyper-moralist "volksfront" regime already starts critizising Greece because of their use of force. As always without telling them how to avoid a breakethrough of thousands of violent "refugugees" supplied with turkish teargas grenades.

If Greece again is left alone with the problem, they should open the border and let the invaders pass because none of them wants to stay there. Most of them will head to Germany and Skandinavia then

 The Islands and coastal borders are more difficult. Especially as Turkey turns a blind eye / facilitates Turkish smugglers profiteering from these illegal economic migrants.

Difficult but possible.

It's impossible IMO if you're not willing to sink the boats and that never will happen.

Me and my family's good life here won't slip away cause of a strong Baht but it might come to an end because of watchmen, health ministers and generals.

As soon as he reads the World Bank's report our General will solve the problem within a week or so - or prove it is fake news

Saint Greta's travelling from one meeting to the next summit is producing a quite nice and big ecological footprint...

Hey, two years of guarantee. Is that nothing, eh?

Facts are:

Syrian "refugees" go back to the country they were "fleeing" from for holidays, weddings, family parties. Strange, isn't it?

As soon as a "refugee" is in Germany, it is nearly impossible to get rid of him if he is denied asylum.

The numbers of "refugees" that are obliged to leave the country are rising year by year (246000 by June 2019) while deportations decline (20000 in 2019).

If deported, a "refugee" just has to return to the German border to apply for "asylum" once more and the game begins again.

using Germany as it is the most frequent talking point, out of 46,146 application by Syrians in 2018 only 69 were rejected outright. Other origin countries such as Nigeria the rejection rate is about 50% of all applications. For the future it would be good for you to use easily available data rather than rhetoric.

That's what happens when one thinks a 5 seconds Google session makes him an expert.

In 2019:

Syria: 83.7%

Nigeria: 6.9%

These are NOT the accepted asylum seekers, it is the "Gesamtschutzquote" meaning they can stay in the country for some reasons.

In 2019 about 62% of all asylum seekers (including Syriens) were denied.

Beeing denied sadly does not mean you're sitting in the next plane to where you belong. You can stay and enjoy the social welfare system and - after a while - you can apply for visas for your relatives.

TAT count the number of tourists, not how long they stay. Of course a tourist who is here for 2 months and spends 1000 euro has more value to the Thai economy than a tourist staying here for one week and spending 500 euro. Exactly twice the value. Maths 101.

Lucky you not being in the tourist business ????

Nope not a good measure, should be total amount spent per tourist per visit.

I don't agree. That would say a tourist wjo is here for 2 months spending 1000 Euro had more value for the country than one who stays a week and spends 500.

Spendings per head and day will paint a better picture
