42 tonnes. That's a lot of unmilled rice.

27,000 per day Chinese visitor shortfall, giving 300,000,000,000 baht shortfall on the year.

Baht shortfall divided by Chinese tourist shortfall is 11.1 million baht.

Divide that by the year and each Chinese tourist would be expected to contribute around 30,400 baht per day to the economy. Hmm...per day? 30,400?

Sceptical much...

Coo...

Amending the Constitution to restrict the powers of the people running the coup.

Coups do not recognise Constitutions. That's why coups are held.

it's another crock of deleted .....

How can a lower court postpone the reading of a verdict of a higher court?

The Supreme Court should have announced its verdict. It does not need The defendants to be present.

Sometimes I wish they knew what they were talking about. But only sometiimes. I need a chuckle now and then.

It will continue to go up and down like the proverbial whore's draws, as the currency is dependent on other student's performance. 

The pound GBP recently has been 37 baht, 42 baht and is now 40.5 baht. No one can tell me this is just to do with the baht. It has a lot to do with confidence in the GBP generally. This applies to all currencies.

The consumer believes what they want to believe, and, at the moment, a lot are wetting their pants  over this virus.

it is right that sensible precautions should be taken, just as you would when on the roads.

Not So 'well mannered' when behind the wheel of a car or on the bike as some would hope.

I would say it's worse than Paris or Rome, but better than anywhere in northern Africa. Even though Thailand is number 2 in the world for road deaths.

There is risk inherent in everything we do. People risk their lives to escape from what they see is danger to themselves, or to try and improve their lives. The problem being, those countries perceived to be 'safer' or 'better' are small in number, and cannot save the whole of rest of the world. Nor should they have to, nor should they be made to feel guilty that they don't.

You do what you can,  Not want you want.

Best place for a dying man. Prison takes care. Who takes care outside prison?. Family? Selfish <deleted>, foist yourself on the generosity of others. Serve your sentence and die in prison, at the tax payers' pleasure like you were supposed to. A 150 year sentence meant you were never going to be released. Get over it.

What is overcharging? If prices are not regulated or controlled, in a capitalist society, items will sell for what they will sell for. 

If prices are state controlled or regulated, it's not a free market and the prices are set by the government. Yet...see below.

Not guilty enough to be charged...just increased prices...

Strange statement.

Are they not guilty of overcharging? Yes, market forces increase the prices,supply and demand....

Are they guilty of overcharging? No. No known 'standard price' yet, so how can they know if the shops are 'overcharging' or not?

I had the family history told to me by the wife over the years. Also been in the village on many occasions and now, for many years.

Land of smiles?

No.

Land of gangsters, violence, a level of ruthlessness I'd never been witness to elsewhere.

But I'm still here.....

Lucky to be alive to be prosecuted.

Sounds like it's time to get the old Noddy Suits out again.

NBC suits to those not familiar with the term.

I also did not stand during the anthem, but I'm a crazy Brit.

What the heck is a 'special advisor' and why is age 59 significant?

Free trade my backside.  Nothing is free. All is protectionism.

quid pro quo.

30 day visa exempt, not a problem, as Taksin seems to have been able to to come and go as he pleases..And certain others, that warranted 3 unmarked police cars racing up the M3 from Farnborough airport to London on a regular basis.

Hun Bunal changed his name 2 years after joining the Khmer Rouge...

Damn, Darwin missed this one...

Aw, boys will be boys...

That, in my mind works out to be 10% of tourists were Chinese. Once I figured out what he was saying....

Even if no Chinese came, 9 million would still have come. The article didn't specify revenue, but if the Chinese spent the same as domestic and other foreign tourists, that's a 10% hit. If they spent twice as much as everyone else, that's a 10.77% hit....isn't it?

It's not an affair if they were divorced. She was free to carry on with the police officer. The ex husband was being led on by greed. His ex wife saying she would be rich if they were divorced.

Fortune tellers, con artists, charlatans, theives, crooks, scammers. And people here still believe. There's no substitute for gullibility egged on by greed.

Great going guys, keep up the good work.

I am interested in what Catoni said about the soot.

This could also be said of the soot and smoke from rice fields, sugar cane fields, etc.

Pity the rains are not here yet to clear the air.

Ah, free smoke for everyone. Pity it's for only  a short time.
