Yes, that quote in the OP really says it all.

Apology. Didn't check my typing. 'tes' should be 'yes'

Or maybe it depends whether or not the Minister gets any nookie. If tes, then tourism is fine. If not then -5%.🙂

With what I read and see (videos) I doubt that people in the UK think about changing anything at the moment For whatever reason(s) tax hikes, plenty of protests and so on. Probably people staying with ICE and not buying any new car because of what appears to me to be an unstable UK. Imo, if the UK were a satisfied lot it would probably be the front of EV nations.

As other members have pointed out, lot of talk but nothing done. In addition, the Thai gov. always seems to be in turmoil for one reason or another so another reason for nothing to get done. A shame.

This and the other thread (activists searching for Cambodians) reminds me of the 'Thai road rage' syndrome. If the border conflict contues that's what I expect 'Thai bullies' will sink to.

One small point. If former Pres Obama knew at the outset knew that Russia did not have the means to affect as US election why didn't he tell the media to prevent the spread of the media frenzy of Russia-Trump collusion?

Well,whoever, whatever, that person is I was surprised about thin and frail looking they were.

Yes, thank you for that...I understand Padons in general. But that was not my point.

Okay, so 8 years to 1 year via Royal Pardon. What does that actually mean? What does that 1 year represent in terms of the charge agaist him? Is it like a Supreme Court saying 'Yes, guilty but 8 years is too much'? Does it mean he is guilty of some charges but not others? Does that 1 year mean that he is not allowed to play politics? Obviously all a misunderstanding n my part

Why is this man be allowed to carry on in political circles. Yes, okay b.e.'s but seriously the courts and the law are not lifting a finger to stop him. What a farce.

Yes, like others have mentioned here, happens every time you drive a few km's. But this morning it was a little different for me. I went to the bank and just as I turned into the entrance a m/b driven by a non-thai and young lady sitting behind (no helmets). I wasn't about to back up as the main road was thick with traffic and not only that the exit was just a few meters away. Fortunately, a Thai bank guard came out of the toilet (on the left of m/b) and gestured the bike rider to use the exit. The bike rider gave me the 'v' sign as the guard waved me through. How pleasant, I thought.

Making the 'world' a little more 'bare-able' to live in. Not going to complain about that.

Easy enough on todays technology. My phone gives UV index, Humidity, Wind, Sunrise & Sunset in addition to the weather in general.

Should have checked the UV saftety index, usually gives awarning. I can't sunbathe anywhere as I burn very easily so when I go out I where long trousers and hat. Swimming is the same, T-shirt etc.
