And this on the bus off the bus is why we left Thailand in 2019. How much damage has this done to tourism, how many people have cancelled their flights/holidays to Thailand or how many thousands have now decided not to risk a holiday in Thailand?

Time the West started sanctioning Thailand! This action is diabolical. Thailand is now tard with the same brush (Iranian government sponsored terrorism) and should now be treated as such. Enjoy the increase in terrorism. What idiots.

Come to Thailand for your 2 week holiday and risk having to spend your holiday locked in a hotel room for 2 weeks even with no symptoms!!! I think many people will be looking into cancelling their holidays to thailand. It has already been established that you still transmit and catch covid regardless whether you have had the vax or not. Note I am one of those now considering cancelling.

And what about the generals and the very suspect land sale prior to the tanks rolling in?

They were elected by the people for the people and is that concept really that difficult? Being an ex soldier I have such distain and even find it very difficult to use words like soldier, army in the same sentence as the Thai Green Mafia. I have never once heard of a British or even an American soldier who has accrued multi million pound/dollar empires while in service!!!

Very sad but yet very true.

The equation of Electricity, Water and Thai Maintenace record, I'll also give it a miss.

Is there an office within Thai government "The Brown Envelope Office" for all the good will gestures to all these reports?

Really? I'm sorry but I must question your circle of Thais or foreigner's because I've found the opposit! The Thai people i surrounded myself with never once made any such claims and the only people I've come across who make such claims are self hating foreigner's.

Really! Well I for one am far better off in 2023 than I was in 1970 lol I just realised I was at school then... so I'll say 1980 or even 2000 when I was in a very good "IT" job in London I'm better off now.

Come on Worgeordie you have been here long enough to know this will never happen and even a wia is most likely a no as no one has died.

Because it did and it was pulled!!!!

For a second there I thought you worked for TAT! In many cases you are right however in Thailand's unique situation it has regressed and not progressed. One just has to go into a Thai bank say 2002 and again today try to do business (it has not progressed) and then do the same with the uk or other civilised countries banking system. Schools also have gone backwards in Thailand. I personally don't reminisce about the good old days which were very hard and my favorite time in my life is now.

I am so thankfull I took out insurance hours after paying our holiday in March a week ago. My children will not be getting any vax and I've had two prix too many!!! If this is not changed lots will cancel but also the damage is done. This sort of nonsense is the reason we left Thailand in 2019.

For me in the early 2000's it was a paradise especially Kow Tow living and working there with over 300 dives then they poured concrete everywhere and it lost its charm. 2006 was the start of the rot then 2014 all was lost. It is really sad.

Really that's your take on this? Wow!!!

Average age of death from covid was 82 or 83 in the uk without preexisting illness. In the uk before 2020 flu would kill between 24,000 to 40,000 every year. That is died because of and not died with.

I had 3 x big bikes in Thailand as well but when you have a family a car/SUV is essential in Thailand. I've never owned a scooter and probably never would!!! Last vehicle I bought in Thailand cost me about £24k (I would never buy a secondhand car in Thailand though I would never buy a new car in the uk).

Yes I have read it on the gov web site and also cross referenced it. The facts I stated are correct and are shocking. More yellow card have been raised than all other medications added together. Swine flu vaccine was pulled with a fraction of yellow cards. There is also the fact that it is estimated that only 10% of injuries are ever reported. I can also go on about the recorded excess deaths we are seeing in the uk, eu and usa obviously it's not related to the vax!!! There are 2 countries which are lucky not to be showing any excess deaths Canada and New Zealand!!!! These are facts not fiction.

Well it's his story and plausible as not every expat in Thailand who works earns peanuts. I first went to thailand in 2002 and fell in love with Thailand. I split my time working in the uk and scuba diving, working and living on Kow Tow. After my first coup I noticed big changes in attitude so left. My wife and I came back to thailand in 2010 to live, built a house and had a good life but again another coup and we decided to leave everything and move back to the UK with our children in 2019. This was the best decision we made. Children very happy, love school and have lots of opportunities. My wife loves living in the uk and has good friends and me I have my garden, my house and a wonderful life. Thailand is for holidays and if we didn't have family or friends in Thailand I don't think we would bother ever going back as so many other beautiful places on the planet to see. Been there seen it and done it. Oh as a foot note: not all men marry thai women out of desperation of not being able to find a wife in their own country as not all thai women marry a foreigner because they have money. A Thai women in my experience wants above all a man who will love her, is responsible and is faithful a man who isn't running off with other women. Now been together nearly 18 years.

Very lucky man as not many people survive hitting a solid object on a motorbike.

I did a lot of price comparisons between Thailand and UK back in 2019 before we left Thailand. From our weekly shop to fuel for my vehicle and vehicle prices. It shocked me that food had become more expensive in Thailand (we shopped in Tops and Big C). When I purchased my first vehicle in Thailand in 2005 "Triton 4x4" it cost the equivalent to £11,500 and in the uk it cost nearly £30k. Then when I replaced it in 2012 vehicles that were manufactured in Thailand had become several thousand pounds more expensive in Thailand than the same vehicle exported to the UK and sold. Even motorbikes used to be cheaper in Thailand but now are more expensive in Thailand than their exports to the UK. Where I saved money on fuel in the uk compared to Thailand was simple I don't drive a 3lt SUV in the uk (uk 2 cars Rav4 and a Honda jazz). We don't drive as far in the uk for shopping, school and social.

Been my pet name for my wife for 15 years and I am lovingly her "Door Bell" (Ting Tong). However, never said in anger always in jest. There are other phrases used then.... lol

When you look for something you find it. Isn't it winter in the US? There are also matrix used and the only figure that should be looked at is "DIED from Covid" ie covid was the cause of the death.

Nope. It is recently released vax injuries/death in the uk. They are .Gov figures. A system used to report injuries "Yellow Card" the in 800 yellow cards issued is more than all other medications added together yet the silence is deafening (I believe us figures are the same other countries figures are similar). It is also estimated that yellow card reporting is only 10%. My wife was one, my cousin more serious "lost use of his arm". I was lucky as it never effected me but I also caught covid after getting the vax as did my wife who through her job got every vax going. Her covid was much worse than me but still was just like a normal cold.
