No Oceans Eleven But A Dutch Plonker Runnin A Thai ATM Drag Race
"he’d already handed ten million baht to his Nakorn Nowhere sweetheart, the kind of “investment” plan that usually ends with the lady disappearin’ with her Thai husband " Kind of common scam here, isn't it? Every one of the expats would know about him if have been here long enough.

If so, he must have been too impatient to wait for the bank to open after the day breaks.

Trump’s Push to Retake Afghan Base from Taliban Revealed
I now recall the same happened there when previous USSR-backed govt crumbled in 1992; all of the Soviet-provided hardwares fell into the hands of Mujahideen(later Taliban). As many of their govt troops joined them. A good example of the repeating history in one same region.

Thai Military Shuts Cambodia Border Indefinitely Amid Tensions
In Thailand, the military can even topple own nation's govt(most recent one in 2014). So, why they hesitate to close one of their borders? Seemingly Thai armed forces have above the law power(legal immunity). None of th military figures arrested/prosecuted when the civilian govt came back in 2023, as never happened before.

Thailand Falls in Global Innovation Index 2025
Yes. "Innovation" is something that looks most alien here. It often comes with constant small improvement, driven by restlessness. And is so hard to spot such a move as it just doesn't seem to exist while here.

Drinking After Hours in Pubs to Cost Up to 10,000 Baht Fine
Another extortion scheme for 0.1% of the kingdom, mostly targeting foreigners. Apart from the often senseless price hike in tourism industry without better quality, such a built-in robbery program is behind the travellers arrival downfall here. In today's digitalized world, any ill fame is made known to the rest of the world at the speed of light. I am totally a non-drinker. And always have strong hate of the stupid and disturbing behaviors by the intoxicated. But still, won't thumb up for that sort of proposal of institutionalized robbery.

Rising Costs Hurt Thailand's Tourist Numbers
Chinese tourists other than the super rich, are often quite cost and budget conscious and thrifty. While in Thailand, I frequently see them carry own canteen with tea they made themselves, instead of buying soft drinks with too much sugar.

Thailand Plans to Increase Air Travel Fees by October 2025
Another filthy proposal to create the new source of Easy Billions into the pocket of 0.1% of the kingdom. This time, in the name of Security Enhancement.

Rising Costs Hurt Thailand's Tourist Numbers
Higher price, same old contents without any improvement. A big turnoff. People are increasingly becoming price/costs and etfect conscious, on global scale.

Thai PM Anutin Urges Action on Strong Baht Currency
Will Thai govt start massive quantities easing(increasing the amount of cash flow in the marker)? While minor currency like the is more influenced by external factor(eg international speculative funds); Thb is heavily bought outside its border. One big factor, its a lot inflation rate(0.8%). a lot lower than the first world. Just like High Jpy around 2010. Lower inflation rate=Monetary value appreciation of the respective country.

Violence London Far Right Rally as Elon Musk Warns Fight or die
Since 1980-90s, "mainline medias" often brand anything and everything Right Wing if doesn't match their awfully twisted definition of Norms. Law abiding ladies and gentlemen are now promptly busted and prosecuted just because posting any resentment/critical comment on the problems caused by the mass of illegal aliens whose only thought is relentlessly sucking welfare money, all at the expense of the working tax payers. I am not a UK citizen myself. Still, what is happening to Britain now looks so unbelievable. Once used to be known as the one of the safest countries in Europe. Now, my English friend says it is too dangerous to walk around outside home after dark, even in a small town well outside metropolitan area.

Strength of the baht just keeps rising
Currecies like Thb and Aud, more likely to be impacted by external factors, rather than the domestic. Thb hike for the past few years, caused by massive Thb buys outside this kingdom; baht is now regarded Safe Asset. One major background is the sound state of Thai finance: Thai Current Account is still strongly in black while almost all of the first world is deeply in red. Thailand's. GDP-DEBT ratio is 67% or so. https://www.google.com/search?q=Thai+gdb-debt+ratio&sca_esv=5b71cfa89013eb9f&source=hp&ei=M6DHaJKrBsqTseMP56zq4QU&oq=Thai+gdb-debt+ratio&gs_lp=EhFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocCITVGhhaSBnZGItZGVidCByYXRpbzIFECEYoAFIzMsBUOsNWO3AAXAFeACQAQCYAc0BoAGCGqoBBjAuMjAuMbgBA8gBAPgBAZgCGqACpB6oAg3CAgoQABgDGOoCGI8BwgIKEC4YAxjqAhiPAcICBxAAGIAEGBPCAgkQABiABBgTGArCAggQABgWGAoYHsICBRAhGJ8FwgIFEAAY7wWYA0bxBZMSBqsj1Zs2kgcGNS4xOC4zoAfYS7IHBjAuMTguM7gHiB3CBwsyLTIuMTMuMTAuMcgHkwQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp As well as a lot lower inflation rate here(-0.8% in August this year) than most other places. Monies of the nation with higher inflation rate always become devalued. As inflation means loss of monetary value itself. Sounds clear enough? https://www.google.com/search?q=Thai+inflation+rate+this.+month&sca_esv=5b71cfa89013eb9f&ei=EqHHaNZviZzj4Q-R4IyoBg&oq=Thai+inflation+rate+this.+month&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIh9UaGFpIGluZmxhdGlvbiByYXRlIHRoaXMuIG1vbnRoSABQAFgAcAB4AJABAJgBAKABAKoBALgBA8gBAJgCAKACAJgDAJIHAKAHALIHALgHAMIHAMgHAA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp
