The report was refuted as being nonsense. But damage done for racists who picked it and now treating it like fact.

Meanwhile the red busses that blow out black diesel smoke are still driving around with impunity. Traffic around where i live is insane, and has seen no drop. If anything it feels worst. IMO the only ones benefiting from this are those who normally don't use the BTS / MRT are using it as opportunity to get out and about for free. Also the sheer volume of Chinese tourists here for New Years are have a field day getting around for free. It's a sheer waste of money, because fate had the wind blow the harsh pollution away. If pollution was an issue and health a priority to keep people away from the pollution, that has ironically driven people to travel around for free that normally would be staying home. The money should have been used to change all public vehicles electric, remove the red emitting diesel busses. The pollution is set to return in a few weeks anyways. So a temporary plaster measure was a sheer waste.

Nonsense. It's all performative theatrics. The sheer volume of mexican (and further afield south American countries) undocumented immigration into many US states is astronical. Most large business welcome these immigrants to carry out the work locals will not do. If you go to cities like Las Vegas the vast majority of the work carried out in the background (housekeeping, chefs, cleaners, etc) are all immigrants. You even have legit schemes like Mexicans being driven into US daily to do work, then driven back home at night - which is a legal scheme.

Good news. More working population. The dangers of a drop in population wrecks economies. Government however must provide the necessary provisions for transport, education and health to keep up. Only people with an issue will be racists.

I think we can all as a collective on this forum just say 'we are really shocked by this news'.

True. But as soon as one project is finished. You hear the earthquake coming from another direction of the room, and you realise the same construction workers are now in another room on the floor below you. Essentially you have the same team going into the condo still fitting out the rooms. So it's been an earthquake after earthquake, never ending.

I think my next port of call will be with my agent. We've used the same agent for many years and she has really let us down this time. It's an amazing condo however, but she should have known that the condo itself was itself an empty shell in many rooms.

In that regards yes construction is only going on between 9-5pm. However, it's like a massive earthquake every day. Not exagarating this.

And lose my deposit ? Will the owner return my desposit? We are talking nearly 160k for 2 months rent. Somehow i don't think they will. Still got 8 months to go on contract. I was hoping for some suggestions for an inbetween solution, or anyone who went through something like this and how it was resolved. This is essentially mass construction inside the shiny glossy condo.

So it's a case of just putting up with it ? At this moment in time, i am hearing drilling that is hitting my ear with such force that it's as if the guy is if the construction is happening rite next to me. I Simply cannot sleep, as i am work some bizarre hours at times. We simply cannot relax when my partner is back from work. Do i go to my agent? I honestly feel scammed as she told me the condo was all ready and perfect. The concierge team are all very appologetic, but nothing is done. We have essentially moved into an upscale, brand new condo by a prestigious builder, at an extorniate rate, but room were not ready for most of the condo, as a result you have mass construction going on. Tell you how bad it, i am sitting here at 10am actually thinking of booking a hotel to get the hell out of here.

Or they could reduce the number of visitors ?

If you come to the UK and you claim asylum, you are accomodated if they feel your case meets merit (ie not taking the pee). This also happens in many European countries, Canada too that sign up the human rights bull. This is not luxury accomodation despite what the media say. They are small little rooms, sometimes in crappy hotels. The UK has universal free healthcare (along with most of Europe), so asylum seekers will get health care. The only people ironically who don't get free healthcare are immigrants who come here legally - they have to pay a surcharge one of fee before they get a visa, to allow them to use the NHS. Also immigration, undocumented was on course to go higher than Obama before the pandemic hit. He literally did nothing to stop it. The wall was never built, other than tiny little areas. It's all performative. America needs and wants immigration.

Where have all these cheap drunk violent Brits turned up from ? They usually go to Magaluf or Benidorm. I honestly blame social media and fake influencers for attracting them.

Link ?

Cheap mass tourism is really ugly. The state of tourists here are turning away high quality tourists. Utterly disgusting.

What's the issue though with keeping those red busses going? I am aware they are public busses - but is it going to be that expensive or destructive to tell them to clear off? Or is it something else? You would literally only need someone to stand on Sukhumvit or Silom and see them going past. You could stop them straight away and clear them off.

Roads were still very busy. Still shocking to see red busses blowing black smoke still on the roads though. How difficult would be to ensure not one of them busses blowing smoke was not allowed on a road ?

Gravy train Is there any independent way to see how much they were spending on flights and what class most of them travelled? Why would eg they need to travel business class ?

Utter nonsense. Had your wife come into the UK legally, she would have been entitled to nothing for 5 years. She would have had to pay a premium fee charge to access the NHS that you have no choice to pay. She would be entitled no public resources, eg sick pay, no access to job seekers allowance, etc. So let's not talk rubbish. Had your wife claimed Asylum do you think they would just accept any application as truth? She would be waiting for years to get a decision. During that time she would not be allowed to work, so her only choice would be to work illegally - and if caught she would be refused any application she made. And IF she desperate did need accomodation and couldn't afford she be housed in a crappy little room for years, waiting for her decision with barely anything to live on. That's not some alluring lifestyle despite what the media tell you. But if your wife is from Thailand, and married to you the likelyhood of her claiming asylum is next to zero. Ironically working in the US illegally is far easier as most states actively encourage it to keep costs down. Trust me on that, pretty much everyone working in states like Vegas did the background work no one else wants to do are there illegally. So stop reading the daily mail and listening to Farage and do your own research.

It's impossible in most states in the US too. So go build your cabin and leave. But i bet you won't give up your citizenship. See so many in Thailand whinging about the UK how they hate it, but funnily enough all like to keep citizenship just incase hey

Prices around central touristy areas are around 400 - 600 Baht, which is a disgrace. A little bit of a shop done up, and they get away with it. To put that into perspective, that's more than a cut price in some UK cities.

Yeah weren't Mexico meant to pay for the wall ?

Ironically America is very unattractive to most of the world due to gun violence, health care costs, lack of public infrustructure, education costs (go see how much university costs). Most Americans are shocked (lacking in education) at how well the public are looked after. Of course it's not perfect, and it's open to abuse, but i know which i prefer.
