Sustainable tourism with the Elite card... hahahaha A few rich people trying to get their money and themselves out of their country. Maybe a few at best. The rest of the world just passes them by. Who makes up this stuff.

It won't be long now. Biden just signed into law the latest sanctions on China. Thailand makes the midrange chips for the world.. They will surely sell to China and then Thailand will be put on the list. It's inevitable at this point. Thailand , China , Russia , and a few others will be holding hands and singing their anthem. As the rest of the world passes them by and forgets them.

I am in Laos, I just finished one of the loops here sponsored by tourism. Total wast of money and a huge disapointment.

They do not want big money in Thailand, the elite only want the rich so they get richer. TOT IMO is just a place to dole out what the elite want. Nothing more.

Best to legalize them and tax them.

That is exactly right, Most people do not keep up with current events. Mine does not have a clue other than there is a war with Russia and the Ukraine.

Tough times ahead for Thailand for sure. Scary times... wow

Really IMHO it doesn't matter anymore at this point. The leaders need to start listening to the academics. There are some smart people in Thailand. If not Thailand will keep turning inward and all will be lost IMO.

Hard to believe what they were thinking.

Print it in Chinese and the India language.

Personally I am enjoying it. China will be in lockdown one way or another for the next 10 years. Thailand? Who cares! They better be making plans how they are going to feed themselves in the coming years. Thailand made their decision.

Just a political spotlight issue. Nothing more. Trying to get a few more votes. Happens every time there is an event like this.

I used to think this was the best, kids taking care of the elder. But, after living here for a few years I have changed my mind. I love the independence of having a pension and being able to go where I want and not having to depend on anyone. When the time is right just throw me in a bin and go on with your life.

Good luck, in America every time they have a mass shooting everyone says the same thing. Nothing has helped in the US.

I have zero sympathy for Thailand or China. They had the perfect opportunity , and instead of exploiting it , <deleted> it away.. Good for me, I can visit on the cheap for the next few years as they decline.

A Pussy as the mascot for Thailand!

Mexico is the big winner here. Smart companies have been in the process for the last few years getting out of SE Asia. For the US, Mexico is the perfect fit. America has the food, the oil, Mexico has the labor and is a fairly educated country. I have read a few articles saying it is cheaper now to manufacture many things in the US now. Some say 5-10 years and the process will be in the end stages. Shorter supply lines, less volatility, way less hassles dealing with SE Asia. As far as China goes, I have not read anything remotely positive about it's future. Interesting to see what happens in the next few years.

GF from Thailand said he got fired for selling Yaba. Said he was taking it.. Not sure if true but what she said.

This pails to the demographics of China.. China's wages have increased 5-6 fold and their out put has increased 2 fold. Company's are fleeing faster than the Yuan. They are the fastest aging population in history..... If you want to believe the geopolitical scientists China will not last the decade.

So you are starting work drunk when you get back.. hummmm. Must be a government job.

Hey I take offense , leave the food out of it... Thailand has some yummy food...

When you start seeing the polluted haze and choking to death You know winter is upon us here in Thailand.

Yep, almost time for me to head back home.. I've had a great time. Thanks Thailand and Laos this hop. Dry season means burning and a blanket of haze and pollution over the area.. But, six months a year it is bearable.

Anyone that wants to grow really good stuff will grow it with very little effort. I know guys back in the day that grew the stuff under lights. They all had the best weed around. This is very basic stuff? Stupid simple. There are some very good books on the subject.
