None of China business.

Border conflict started in June 2025 ? Couple of months later, the young female PM were unseated. At that time, People's Party was subtly laughing and successfully setting up 'short-lived" BJT government and FORCED the Election in early 2026, Exactly the way PP wanted it. Since 2023 Election, poll after poll reported that People's Party had led any other party by at least 10 basis point, a very comfortable margin for PP. This had been the trend the whole 3 year period until .......until......... approximately final week before voting Day Feb 8 2026. There was one poll sampling ended 10 Day before voting had predicted PP to win. There were two polls ( including NIDA) sampling ended 2/3 Days before voting suddenly predicted BJT to win. Above polling info had been reported on Bangkok Post News hours before voting stations opened

None of US, UK, UN, EU business.

Was it the young lady previous PM lost her job mainly because of BORDER Conflict in June/July 2025 ? Eventually resulting in PM Anutin got the PM position just in Sept 2025 ? Was it the People's Party insisting on urgently dissolving the Parliament and got the very quick Election as the way they wanted it ?

Who wanted this National Election at this time ? Even there had been major government transition in Aug-Sept 2025 ? It was the People's Party got it their way staging the Election in early 2026 and lost big time now.

Yes, Thailand tourism had disappointing and tough year 2025. Quite strange that in mid-Jan and late-Jan 2026, Pattaya appeared surprisingly busy, even year-end holiday vacationers had already left and returned home by then.

How did BBC report and analyze this ? BBC "Chicken Out", dared not criticized one bit while preparing for Trump USD 5 Billion case. BBC is of course learning from..... from .... from TACO Trump

Paper Tiger USA did more than Bullying and Threatening the weak ones this time. It is Kidnapping.

Emperor Trump, Dotard Trump. International Kidnapping. Mafia Act by Mafia State USA> Shame

International Kidnapping. Mafia Act. Mafia country USA. Shame to all Americans.

On Dec 24, 2025, Bangkok Post quoting from Reuter : US Dollar on course for the worst year since 2003.

In second half off 2025, USD tried re-bouncing few times and Failed. USD is sinking like a rock falling

Biden bad does not make Trump good. Trump bad does not make Biden good. IMO, it has been 'Bad+Bad+Bad' for 9 years and heading to 12. Yes, both are bad, Not either or.

Most successful country in fighting drugs.

First trip with group tour, Tourists taking their second trip/third trip would prefer and shift to self-organized independent journey. Above is just common sense. HK tourists came to Thailand in very high numbers and almost all were in tour groups in 1980's, eventually they came again multiple times from 1990's onward on their own. That happened even in pre-internet, pre-Google Map era. Nowadays China mainlanders are doing same as the HKer's and had it much easier with internet info everywhere. It is some stubborn noticed certain things 20/15/10 years ago and thought it would be same perpetually or even forever

Fired

Not so easy, Mr PM

Trump lost face when Kim did not bother to meet Trump who was visiting S Korea just days ago. Trump excuse was he had no time to spare during S Korea trip. Kim had serious issue with Japan, he openly talked about it in old day. This Japan PM Sanae seeks to meet him news had me laughing.

Get off, have a snack and get on again. May not need doing X-ray security

Agree. Even just Economy Vs Economy, experience on the A380 jet is better than all other model.

Thailand will not make it. Even though I like Thailand very much over a long period, I am not optimistic about it. Reasons way too long to list out.

Smart move

Exchange rate is not the primary reason. The issue is too many bad news, one after another, in Thailand in 2015. Writer of the article just not understand.

500 Bil Bath -- around 15 Bil USD changed exchange rate over many months ? This sum was sufficient and big enough ? The writer of the original article lacked sense. so was the media quoting the article.

1/ Thaksin is in prison, Thaksin daughter and Pheu Thai are not relevant. 2/ Prayut had seen enough and done enough, had no interest to do PM job again. 3/ PP option was back Pheu Thai or back BJ or back no one. 4/ The new Administration term is 3/4 months or to max 2.5 years ? IMO, the issue is PP bet the "right horse" or the "wrong horse" ?
