A mini Sub belonging to Ocean Gate Expeditions has lost contact with its Mother ship during a dive down to the Titanic wreck. The five paying customers are trapped with two days of Air supply left. Contact was lost an hour into the dive. Titanic lies 12,500 ft on the bottom of the Atlantic a two n a half hour trip to the wreck site. No conventional Submarine can dive that deep without imploding due to the pressure at those kinds of depths and only specialist unmanned subs can be used to explore these depths. Even a DSRV can not be used. Sadly the people are trapped will most likely run out of Oxygen before a rescue can be attempted.

Well Well Well here go again Agoda wading in asking how will Thailand attracting Tourist's. Maybe Agoda should be asking the TOT why there not attracting the millions they keep predicting will be coming. Maybe ask why do they make it difficult for a long staying tourists to leave to do a visa run, would it not be better to give them a six month visa, Will they give discounts to domestic airlines to lure more tourists, will they treat there tourists as guests with respect and curtersy and send them home happy to spread the word what a lovely holiday they had instead of them returning saying never again. Will they tell the tourism industry to stop the scamming and offer incentives to lure more Tourists. Im no hotel boss in Phuket or Koh Samui but if my hotel opened up once Covid was over id reduce prices pre Covid to fill the hotel. What did the majority of hotels do? doubled the prices Suicide. To end the TOT decided to ignore the bread n butter western tourists mainly Europeans in favour of high end Chinese, Indian , even Saudi tourists. This has not and will not happen what do they have now in Phuket and Patayya? mostly draft dodging Russians. Well done.

Mmm how to attract more tourists? Well let's start with a tourist posting a trip report on a hotel or a restaurant about the poor service and how it was defended by that establishment.

So what are kiddie pageants all about in the US? Why dress kids up with full makeup under 10 yrs, yet its accepted?
