The Shins and the Hun Sens of this world, total scum, are best of friends. Cambodia aided with them when Abhisit was in charge. Hun Sen hurled insult after insult at Abhisit.

'La Niña's cold ocean temperatures have led to unexpected cooling in Thailand, disrupted by a 7.4-magnitude earthquake in March near Mandalay' Wow, guess you are never old enough to learn new things.

Bangkok, the city of T-junctions. Bangkok is, by my knowledge, the worst planned city in the world. Just have a look to the street grid, and compare that with cities sin Asia and Africa. There is a reason traffic is so bad.

Singapore forks up a whopping 140 US million dollars to host the f1.

One cannot deny that the orange miracle is in every newspaper, also in Thailand , for all tge wro g reasons. Can I afford a trip to the US? Bit childish to question that, imho.

Yeah right! Thanks to AI

Programmers will not be replaced by AI. Bad programmers will. Just like teachers, doctors, supermarket employees, restaurant workers, and on and on. You better go with the flow.

She stands up, pushes the officer and yells no at him. She would get shot in the US.

One very entitled lady. Why in your right mind would you insult police officers?

That would be very cool. I will go for sure.

Indeed, 'some critics'. Thailand has only been watched.

I earn both Baht and Euros, so I really couldn't care less. When the Baht is high, I change it in Euros, and vice versa. So keep your bank account when you move here.

You educate yourself. "primarily determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market" The Thai Baht (THB) operates under a managed-float exchange rate regime. This means that its value is primarily determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market, but the Bank of Thailand (BOT), the country's central bank, plays an active role in managing its fluctuations.

And how exactly is the Baht manipulated? Could you explain your claim?

Quite explosive these Thai men. Be careful everyone, lot of people with financial burdens, shorter fuses.

The biggest rip off for me is when I enter a National park and I am singled out to pay 5 to 10 times more than my wife.

That is indeed a possibility. A scary one, better seal our suitcases if you cannot lock properly.

Good, I smoke too much anyway. Cheapest grass in the world.

Yes, I went to the Gemini lounge.

This is fascinating news for Thailand's tourism and economy! MGM Resorts' push for a Singapore-like 17% casino tax rate and substantial local access really shows they're serious about a multi-billion dollar integrated resort in Bangkok. It makes sense, given how much more revenue Singapore's two resorts generate compared to many in Las Vegas due to their more favorable tax and market conditions. The preference for Bangkok as a prime location is no surprise – it's a global tourist hub with great infrastructure. And the 10% casino space limit in Thailand's draft bill seems quite reasonable when you compare it to Japan's 3% or Singapore's sub-5%. It looks like they're aiming for a balanced approach to boost the economy while managing potential social impacts. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Just got back from Bangkok and managed to avoid all the common scams! My top tips: tuk-tuk drivers offering super low prices ("20 baht to see all temples!") are a red flag – always hail a metered taxi or use a ride-hailing app. Be wary of anyone trying to guide you to a "special" shop or tailor; if you don't know much about what they're selling (like antiques or custom suits), just politely decline and keep walking. A firm "no, thank you" and continuing on your way works wonders; don't feel pressured to engage! Stay smart, and you'll have an amazing time!

Ignorant or sarcastic? I guess the latter. Funny.

Sending back , is sending him to a mere death. Give him a refugee status Thailand.

I doubt he lives up to his name, which is almost the same as a book we all read when we were kids.
