Oh dear - since when is not being stupid a requirement for upper-level US government official, at both sides of the ailes? If that really is the best selection from a third of a billion people, the best s*cks big time.

We have so much to learn from today's intelligencia, the YouTubers with an urge to prove to the world that they can be more stupid than the scale permits.

Where does "in Thailand" (headline) come into the picture?

From my own experience, the insurance company will say that if drive for doing business, they may compensate car rental costs, but not otherwise, if you're "only" a private person on wheels.

Oh really? What's tourism development? More tourists, more turnover, more traffic, more of everything?

Just like hit & run...!

He was supposed to be there that day, but we must have missed him somehow...

Thanks - brought them there!

Having the thankful task of cleaning out stuff an ex-expat left behind, I'm stuck with a number of boxes of English pocket books. Does anyone know where I could donate those? Some sort of English speaking community center/library would come to mind, but I have no idea where to find something like that in Pattaya.

Wouldn't know, because Switzerland is just West of Botswana.

I'm sure "Business Financing, a British travel and tourism media publisher" is a very relevant and reliable source for how to get the biggest and best dandelions too.

One word (actually two): social media

And in view of that, it makes a lot of sense to abolish that regulation; anything to promote growth of the tourist industry [/sarcasm_off] Like another poster already said: they keep finding more and more "things" to boost tourism, but most of those are at best short term solutions to the forever-growth "problem". How about doing away with double-pricing (oh no, there's an endless repeat), or modernizing public transport systems (or even: invent that in places like Pattaya...) and such?

... or drunk, or confused (mini stroke?), or a number of other "natural" reasons. If someone wants to kill themselves, it should be common knowledge that the "safe" height is on/above 7th floor...

It's a green fact that electric vehicles are 100% CO2 emission free, because after all, electricity comes from a power socket - right? They're kidding themselves and those who foot the bill for carbon credits, and are jumping with joy all the way to the bank. Real world question: what's the carbon footprint for an electric bus - production (batteries) and daily running on electricity, sourced from burning stuff?
