    Why not make it red lights, also known as a Pelican crossing in UK, but I doubt that would make any difference as red lights mean little in Thailand anyway.

    Reason heads of national banks are independent of politics. UK removed interest rate decisions from the treasury to Bank of England committee. It stops interest rates been manipulated for political advantages like cutting rates just before an election.

    Exactly, "We're not selling as many hotel rooms, we better raise the price so turnover is the same".

    IMO the aim of every government, no matter their right of left leaning is to transfer as much wealth as possible upwards to the top 1% of the population.

    Despite Thai police ruling the official cause of death as drowning, Probably quite likely. Question is was he held under the water by someone?

    I thought normal procedure was suspicion, arrest, question, evidence, charge. You never know in Thailand if they are going to follow that procedure.

    Lot of Thai are adverse to wearing seatbelts, my ex never used to wear one unless forced to by a taxi driver or such. Passenger space intact but bodies thrown around inside.

    I was stupid enough to do it although only just over the limit, in court there were 14 of us, all the others were Thai, some received two week jail because not afford the fine. Most Thai I know think nothing of doing it.

    The press controls the narrative (influence from those higher), same as in every country.

    I was taken aback that Thais photo funerals. Went to my bro in law's funeral in UK and my Thai girlfriend asked if I could send her photos or video. Had to explain it's not the done thing in the UK to do that.

    Haven't they noticed that most countries are suffering with high inflation and stagnant wage growth, the western tourists just don't have the disposable income they had pre pandemic times.
