Why Chinese tourists snub Thailand: New favourites revealed
Taiwan doesn't want them, and they're banned from going to the country. Thankfully.

Chinese police presence in Thailand a “slap in the face” : ex-NIA deputy director
Never had a verbal/physical with a Chinese copper in 13 years. Got chatty with the SWAT guys who hung around the underground station near my house, after a few pints. They mind their own. They'll also be without sidearms here, so I guess they're really just "Foreign Police". Had a friend beat the living crap out of four of them back in China, Xiamen, when they got in his face on a quiet street (back in 2005). He was offered jail time or deportation. He left the country. Foreigners will look ignore them. Chinese will do the same. *That said, I never had a negative interaction with a Chinese copper in 13 years, nor a Taiwanese copper in 3 years (wait, did get feisty with some TWN traffic coppers one night). And I was a blustery 20-30 something. Actually got a great selfie of me getting a lift home from a copshop after a taxi driver was pulling tricks, and I told him to pull into the (Chinese police) station. The cops hauled him over the coals, and took me home. He stayed.

As we say in my country - what a BOX you are. Or if you follow rugby, a complete and utter SIDE.

Tighter security makes it harder to fly Thais out of Tel Aviv
My few Jewish friends are absolutely blotting their social with their propaganda. When I question them, and point out discrepancies they fly into fits of emotional rage. I have to remind them that I lived in Israel for two years - more than any of them. But, no, I am the Gentile who knows nothing, and is not allowed to have an opinion that differs in the slightest from theirs. I've muted them all for a month, until they calm down.

Wang was and is an evil looking creature. I remember him from my time in China. He gives off some sinister vibes.

Mid-air drama: Unruly passenger instigates chaos on Thai Airways flight to Frankfurt
Little know fact: after mutiple occasions of mainland Chinese folk causing disturbances mid-air, ALL flights (both domestic and international), if flown under the PRC flag, have air marshalls. Unarmed (I'm guessing), but probably pretty nasty in close quarters hand-to-hand combat. They're fairly easy to spot. Usually the last to get on, with little or no carry-on luggage (domestic flights). Lightly dressed in summer, but ALWAYS with a blazer on. Generally they sit midway down the plane, aisle seat, never accomapanied. For domestic flights I think they might do a few flights a day.

Why you should never leave a negative hotel review in Thailand
I absolutely do leave reviews (if I'm in the mood). I've left positive and negative reviews. I at least wait until I've left the premises to do so though, as I will do with this AirBnb I'm at. It won't be 100% positive, but it will be the truth.

Thai dentist saves patient’s life discovering lethal blood condition pre-tooth extraction
THIS. I was having some vision issues, and the optometrist referred me to an opthalmologist. She picked up a serious eye infection, attacking the macular. But at the same time she was doing the test, she said "look at me and smile". She instantly booked me into the main hospital - I had Bell's Palsy and encephalitis. If it weren't for her trained eye (excuse the pun) I may have possibly gone down. Vision is still a but shaky from the macular scarring, but she saved my life.
