  1. I thought the RTP said they were not going to divulge the nationality of criminals stopped by police ? That lasted all of 5 minutes.
  2. Sounds very much like the (around 700) decree that China instigated. Busting a $1.5 Billoon dollar industry on the 7th August 2021. Thus decree, effectively fired from employment over 60,000 online (English, American, South African Australian, teachers) foreign English language teachers over night. China wants some of the $1.5 Biilion. They are making regulation to instigate government control. Basically, wanting bribes for foreign language schools to operate in the country. Finally, all foreign teachers cannot teach online to this day, unless you actually live and reside in China.
  3. I remember once landing in Bangkok, and having a banana confiscated from an emirates flight. I said to them it was likely from the Caribbean. But as a passenger, I was completely oblivious to its origins. I laughed so much, that they got shirty and angst. It made me laugh even more. in fact, I had to sign a waiver for the banana, which made me bend over double - nearly pissing myself laughing. One of the most funniest customs experiences I have ever had in the world. But to top it off he has to be the Land of Smiles.
  4. I bet they won’t be the HISO tourists that they have been banging on about for the past 2 years!! just mainly backpackers and people using Thailand as a hub for Asian flight hopping.
  5. https://goodcalculators.com/skid-speed-calculator/ skid calculator, suggests the driver was at a speed of 151 kmh if his skid was 150m long. !!!! some speed for the middle of the capital city at 03:45 in the morning!! I hope he has been arrested .
  6. This is really difficult to really accept today. I would think that the local government offices are going to build more buildings or classes.
  7. Must agree, the views on this pass are magnificent. A nice place for a lazy bike ride taking in the scenery.
  8. Question is: did they buy the fuel in Vietnam, or another country ?
  9. Wow. I wonder if it’s because they hadn’t been paid ?
  10. Are you xenophobic towards Thai nationals ? meaning you think that the nation doesn’t have highly educated people to run a company? Does this mean you might be an expat looking down on Thai nationals as uneducated? Your words are very concerning and should have been flagged by a site monitor.
  11. So do they keep their phones stored in plastic bags ? Normally, a shop has a stock room with phones all stored in their boxes securely locked at the back of the store !! I am perplexed !
  12. Interesting news, as this is a major tourism spot. Also the hikes that are available at the botanical gardens, could be considered as semi jungle, and the waterfall climb as well. This could pose a threat to tourists, especially those riding the Ho Chi Minh trail that runs through the park.
  13. After reading Shelby Tucker’s book ‘Among Insurgents’, I thought Karen’s were indigenous to the extreme north east of Burma near the Chinese border. If they are more wide spread, I would like to know more.
