If this is for every man, woman and child, then it's not just a 'tourist ' entry fee. Don't call it that.

-.02% inflation is deflation, no?

What will the Thai “silent majority” do?

Same as the silent majority do elsewhere...nothing. They stay silent.

Marriage should be private matter exactly as in reality.

Marriage is not private, not has it ever been.

Reading the Banns 3 weeks in a row, witnesses to the wedding...etc, etc.  Matter of Public record in the Register Office...Private my <deleted>...

I compare this to Norway's decision to deport a kid who was legally adopted in Thailand to the way the Thai institutions attitude to gay marriage or civil union. Someone legally in a civil union, in their home country is not in a civil union here.

How about marriage. Is a marriage in Saudi Arabia recognised here...one in Mali, Seychelles, New Zealand...?

but also highlights the nation’s strict alcohol control laws.

Inconsistent bullshine.

Strict alcohol control laws mean nothing around here. Last week we went to a hotpot shop, sat, ate, drunk beer. We went to a small bar in the local town, snacks, beer, pool. Can buy beer, whiskey and brandy any time the shop is open.

Poor deluded fools.

Unless the 'archaeological sites' are 20 feet higher than the surrounding area, nothing will stop the water. All the walls will do will be to move the water elsewhere. Where the poor people live, probably...

It wasn't generous, they have ulterior motives and wanted rid of it

Of course it was generous. You are being disingenuous.

It saves the Generals money. So what if the US and Japanese come knocking on the door in the not too distant future, and say...you know those vaccines we donated. The Generals like to think they know what they are doing. All they are doing in my view, is making themselves look like <deleted> too.

Interesting, just read what he said, I had exactly the same symptoms. Vaccines are EVIL and unnecessary. 

Interesting perspective. Perhaps, as a child, had you been able to give informed consent, you would have refused all childhood vaccinations?

One does wonder how an inanimate object can be viewed as evil. And one does wonder why this post is still available on here.

I had a big problem with it, I thought I was dying on Friday night. 

And yet...here you are.

Waste not, want not' is a sound philosophy to live by, but it does have one disadvantage. It does make Thais the most awful hoarders!

You should have seen my garage when I sold the house in UK...full of <deleted> I had collected over the years. I was told, by an old Irishman, when I was an apprentice...Keep it for 7 years. If you don't use it, keep it for another 7,  just in case....

I guess it depends on attitude, or perhaps, needs over wants.

Felt washers, YouTube, bottles of oil, bearings all available in uk at reasonable prices. Just that we can't be assed to look inside the machines, see what needs fixing, look up YouTube, bimble around town for spare parts that may or may not fit, look up on eBay or Amazon...etc etc....

in Thailand, not many people can afford to buy new every few years, this is what makes repairs worthwhile. Needs...money, time, effort...

UK, being a supposedly richer nation has become lazy over the years. Or perhaps, as most people work full time for a living, don't care to be face down, <deleted> up in repairing domestic goods and are prepared to fork out for new goods. Especially when sometimes they can be a lot cheaper than in Thailand.

Why are they stockpiling them - get them into peoples arms.

Hear hear....

no stockpiles, get them distributed and in people's arms. Stop faffing about....and stop grandstanding. And stop taking donations like a third world country.

You do know this is about Cambodia, right?

No corruption there, then? Normally 12 bucks, now 50 bucks. 38 bucks extra. An awful lot of money.

Stupidity at the highest level. And gullibility...

Let's put a picture on social media and say it's a Thai baker, resting his feet on bread and see what happens...

Why is sarcasm necessary? Some people get sarcasm and some people don't. Why discriminate? If you don't like something someone says, be brave, be straightforward. Say what you mean and mean what you say.  That way you can never complain that your imbecilic efforts at sarcasm have been wasted.
