Those who live in Thailand and enjoy the many pleasantries - which they lacked in their home countries - should do better than denounce their host country, in particular the decision to take an impartial position on how to treat Russian ( and Ukrainian ) stranded Tourists.

It will be to the loss of Visa and Mastercharge, as Amex to cut off Russian cardholders from their accounts. 

Noone cries a tear for Monsanto s McDonald and Coke junkchain though. 

Wondering how a famous actress could act in the manner described during a nature's call. Heavily intoxicated most probably, anyone could easily fall off a speed boat. A scenario that most won't even be able to comprehend fully. May her soul rest in peace and hope no foul play is involved.

Whatever the reasons for the conflict the results seem clear.

Difficult to vote for a country especially when Tourism is the main source of income.

What it will mean in economic terms is unclear. I guess instead of 3 flights of Tourist planes from Russia to Nhatrang an increase to 6 or more is feasible.

The question is who gets more hurt here.

I am astonished to see how naive some folks are.

The one you quoted is normally a hard bred and experienced ex mamasan. Thailand has 2 categories of women : A) The first one mentioned incl. young and old who will go with a Farang and come from your quoted background B) The second one who will frown at anything connected with a Farang except his money ( Business connected )

Rest is a myth.

Earlier or later it will reveal itself.

' Just as a pregnancy will be seen, the true character will show after a few months ' - African proverb.

Was he a 'Elite' member ? 

'Thai' means free. Say what you want and end in the slammer, don't and end up in a quagmire anyway. So or so. Farang go home but leave your money.

The human mind is still unexplored and full of surprise.

1. Yes, as they say: If you read a book on Tropical Medicine, you'd never go near a tropical country.

 

2. It's very scary visiting up-country and noting what they eat e.g. all sorts of gathered wild food e.g. water snails. I have to ask for some chicken or pork, but even that can be undercooked and bloody.

 

3. This Christmas just passed, my restaurant's set menu started with a shrimp cocktail - the shrimp were raw inside, and sent back ... but it ruined what should have been a nice lunch.

Answer = Thawd man goong no issues

Somebody will never get it. The name of game : Kep laeow 

Two things come to one's mind: A) What a terrible thing to do to yourself B)  dimension of severed limb

I've been waiting for the right time to come back.  I had my first Thai Pass approved to travel on December 31, but due to the new covid variant starting to run rampant, I cancelled, losing all my insurance and asq hotel fees. Luckily, my airline tickets were reimbursed except the $500 cancellation.  Lesson learned:  Don't come until this all clears up.

no cum n go there

Another reason to regulate the keeping of Pitbulls. They are more riskier than wild Leopards. So many people worldwide suffered the same fate yet the Pitbulls are still found unchained and unguarded.

Feel sorry for this lady.
