Either he somehow manged to survive here for nearly 30 years on a fake passport, or liason wasn't working very well.

Diesel is up there among the worst pollutants - it disperses slowly in air and is highly toxic. Putting the price up to reduce it's use would help, but would also increase inflation.

This one could work for you:

they could have more left if they hadn't listened to Boris and Biden right at the beginning.

are you suggesting they should have just let the russians invade unopposed?

I would pay more to buy from a chinese company rather than a Thai one.

Would reducing the interst rate here also weaken the Baht? Retail banks in the UK are paying over 5%, so money would flow out of Thailand looking for a better return, weakening the currency.

I would either go to purchase online or take the quick trip to Bangkok. Far better service in Bangkok malls and less scamming in prices towards farangs. Hua Hin menans getting very often cheated and over charged if you are a farang, no matter where or who you ask.

Rubbish. I have used these guys for many years in Hua Hin and have always found them to be fair, competant and efficient: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SQihWQPdMyhB4vrG8

Probably Google Translate.

Also handy to have DNA available for crime solving purposes.

I could be wrong about this (the rules recently changed in the uk) but don't you need a prescription for viagra here? If so, and you didn't have one, they were breaking the law by selling it to you?

You don't understand economics, do you! When people spend more, that increases Consumer Consumption, which in turn increases GDP,  which in turn is a sign of a stronger economy, which in turn causes the currency to strengthen.

If individuals collectively, or governments spend beyond their means it reduces investors confidence in that economy's ability to service those debts. This will eventually weaken a currency.

I was just quoted 48k in Hua Hin if that's any help.

Rumors on the street are that the Hua Hin government doesn't want mass tourism, so they may not be making moves that would encourage that.

Give it a few years Hua Hin will be like Pattaya with all the new roads and rail they are building here.

I obviously don't understand these things, but - with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 4%, and compared to any 'Western' nation - why isn't Thailand rated at AAA+?

It is their inability to raise tax revenue that is the problem.

I can't help thinking the CCP would be less than enthusiastic about their citizens going to a country where Ganja is available everywhere.

This is an unforgiveable failure of guardianship allowing a young boy to become so desperate he took his own life. Given what he had been through and his background he had to have been seen as vulnerable. I hope someone is held to account for allowing this to happen.

Living here and coming here on holiday are very different. I have met people who would probably have been better off staying in their own country. He should budget for at least a year here then if he still wants to stay he can make the final move.

The russians and chinese are desperately trying to wrest control away from the USA and her allies. Is this what their new world order would look like? God help us all if it were ever allowed to happen.
