    Read the post that I was responding to .

    *Thailands reliance on mass Chinese tourism isnt the cause of the tourist numbers being down *, was my point 

    Excuse me!  I was responding to your post, not a third party post.

     

    if you wish to include another post (a 3rd party post) in your reply then I suggest  you use the "multi quote" function!

    The Army has placed a tight control over all border points, including 39 natural channels between Hua Hin and Bang Saphan Noi districts. Of these, 18 checkpoints are on 24-hour surveillance, while officials conduct random patrols to catch migrants trying to enter from the Myanmar side.

    Thailand only has one war (excepting the problems in the deep south) so why is the whole Military not deployed on a "war footing" to seal all of Thailand's borders at land sea and air.

    Your post was not there when I typed my response. However, I was called away before I could send it.

    I have read it now thank you. Sorry if my post upset you.

    I was actually wondering why you had only posted about Sri Lanka.  Given that I have had to correct my figures for Cambodia's being reduced your post including only Sri Lanka makes more sense now.

     

    PS I was not upset.

    I did read your post, Google tells me Cambodia has 22 days, not 28.

     

    what are the extra 6 ?

    My figures were from previous years.  It appears that last year the Cambodian Government announced a reduction of seven for 2020.  I know that leaves 1 day unaccounted for.  I cannot be bother to find it!

    The actual numbers are not that important as I was only trying to point out that Thailand is not top of the holiday table.

    Thailand is the lead plastic polluter in the World.

    Where did you pluck that statement from, thin air.

     

    PLASTIC POLLUTING COUNTRIES
    Around the world 12.7 million tons of plastic waste is washed into the ocean each year. 

    China is the most plastic polluting country. It has the highest human population and also manufactures a lot of the world's plastic products.

    Indonesia is the second most plastic polluting country followed by the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

    Australia produced 0.01 million tones of plastic waste compared to China which had 1.32-3.52 million tones in the same period.
    I do not see Thailand in those figures.. 

     

    It destroys ones argument when your opening line is false.

  6. EU COMMON TRANSLATION LANGUAGES


    Now the the UK is leaving the EU it has been decided to streamline the translation system, especially English.
    The EU has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

    Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

    Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

    By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

    Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

    Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

     

     

    PS;  I should have warned you to switch off your spell checker before reading!
