Covid-19 Resurgence in Thailand: Over 8,000 Cases Reported in a Week
FYI. I got Covid about 10 weeks ago. I suffered a lot more than the first time that i got it about 2 years ago (which was very mild), and, although the Covid lasted for a week or two, still feeling whacked out every day for the last 10 weeks.

Jealous New Foreign Boyfriend Stabs Russian in Pattaya
How bloody stupid. Nearly two lives finished; the victim dead and the assailant in prison for life. Add to that the lives of their loved ones which would have been ruined. The lessons: 1. Do not carry killer weapons. 2. 3. 4. and more, the obvious.

Thai Restaurant Industry Faces Crisis as Purchases Plummet by 40%
1. Reduce the massive import tax on wine. 2. Restaurants should uplift the price by 50% not 100%+ 3. True dinners would then start to eat out more often.

British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
Reader's cannot know the full story. There are always two sides to a story. If the whole thing was caught on CCTV then the outcome should be a simple affair.

Six-Year-Old Girl in Critical Condition After Brutal Dog Mauling in Nonthaburi
The owners of this dangerous animal should be jailed for a very long time, maybe for life. It is about time a strong message be sent out to people who want to own such dangerous, so-called pets. Better still, make it an outlawed breed.

Briton's Dream Anniversary Trip to Thailand Turns into a Medical Nightmare
Travel the world, some to exotic countries. No need to take precautions, even if you are elderly. No need to ensure that you have proper medical insurance cover. If you get ill or have an accident, just beg through gofundmesomethingorother

Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
Unbelievable, or maybe not!

Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
Nothing less than DISGRACEFUL. The government must do more. Maybe appoint a minister whose job it is, solely, to improve the English proficiency throughout the land. Some think that their own language is the one that everyone should learn, not understanding that if a foreigner learns Thai, it will only hep in Thailand, but if a Thai learns English, it will help him all over the world. Wake up government, you were appointed to do a job!

Missing British man found dead in Bangkok
Fundraiser (begging) again. What about the family paying; or what about insurance beforehand. Many travelers fork out for insurance. Those who dont know the consequences.; or what about a funeral in Thailand!

American man and Thai wife lose 15.2 million baht in Hua Hin property fraud
It is very advisable to only pay for property when a project is completed, and the payment and the transfer can be made simultaneously. Look at what happened to all those hundreds of unfortunate buyers of the Waterfront Suites and Residences opposite Bali Hai Pier.

With wines and champagne as expensive as it is in Thailand with 300% duty, Thailand attracts ONLY beer drinkers.

Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
A long prison sentence, no less, for manslaughter is appropriate for the directors of this company. 1. As a punishment for their misdeeds and, 2. as a deterrent to others. It is understood that buses often get a "pass certificate" for a bribe to those issuing the certificate. These people also need to go to prison for the same, above reasons.

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
They should get a bigger pension than if they had stayed in the UK. Older people cost the NHS a fortune, whereas there is no such cost once they move abroad,

!00% agree that she should be jailed for manslaughter. For a long period. Not only for a warning to others but for the deed itself.

Elderly Australian Caught Stealing Vitamin C in Chonburi
Three times caught stealing! I dont think so. Unless he has been medically diagnosed with Kleptomania. At 82 he should be setting a good example not one of taking things which belong to someone else.

Tragic End to Dream Holiday: Brit Found Dead in Thai Waters
Very sad. We all, anyhow most, have done regretable things in our lives, which may have led to a bad end. I, for one have been tanked up many times but awoken safely. So, I say, "there for the grace of God go I". My condolences to all his family and loved ones. RIP poor Theo.

Thailand Has Global Ambition to Become Tech Talent Hub by 2030
Dreaming! Thailand is so far behind advanced countries when it comes to tech. Most web-sites are so poor in their quality and functionality. I am talking about those of major companies, forget about the smaller ones. It might be helpful if more emphasis was put on Thai people learning good English, Thai teachers included. Thailand is behind its neighbours in Vietnam and Cambodia, in this respect. A ministry ought to be created specifically for this purpose.
