I find this headline difficult to believe. Here in Pattaya there's barely a ripple except in those places that are already rammed. I accept that it's more chaotic during Songkran but I don't believe it's more profitable.

This information is hopelessly out of date. BOLT is the taxi service to use in Pattaya. Grab might work in other cities. Here in Pattaya it's a food delivery service. Their service as a Taxi service is awful.

They do in some places- have you ever been to Bahrain or Dubai or Oman etc etc

A moderate amount of people eat excessively after the fasting period is over. I have lived in several moslem countries and it is not "huge amount of people who eat, drink and party like hell after sundown."

Actually you're wrong. TWO people have been turned back- one a woman spent 2 weeks in jail first.

It's only a bad choice if you believe/care/ about environmental scaremongering but if like the MAJORITY of the people in the world don't care or believe in NET ZERO then it's a perfectly rational choice regarding getting from A to B.

Unfortunately you are correct.

The reason Sweden has the severe problem that other countries don't have is that their law is different. In Sweden children aged 10 to 13 can't be prosecuted even for murder. Unlike the UK where they can be prosecuted.

Yes, unfortunately.

What we have witnessed this last year has nothing to do with free speech but more to do with the expression of vile hatred and anti semititism. The latter being an integral part of palestinian beliefs. It's both shocking and sad to see how many young men and women joined in this rally against the Jews across Europe & The USA and Britain. It was a disgrace. This week is a memorial of 80 years since Bergen Belsen was liberated. It is also a shame and a disgrace that those idiots chanting against Israel have no idea what Bergen Belsen was.

White socks are not expensive- usually they are cheap.

Like the USA?

Nah. Got no idea what you're talking about. I just see millions of Russians and Chinese that I didn't used to see especially in Pattaya. 50 years ago I don't remember hordes of Russians like I do now also I've noticed a few backpacker type, eyes glazed from Datura, whatever...

If it's your job to guard a place you can't walk away.

"true" ignorance. "attempting "?????? What are you talking about?

They do!

That's not true in Bangkok & Pattaya and most other places I've seen Songkran. My solution was to leave the country China, The Philippines, South Vietnam , North Vietnam etc.

Presumably when you boarded them up you made a horrible noise. That is the nature of living- generating noise.

Ladyboys have been fighting in that area for decades but calling them transgender is very new and is very false.

One hopes you are correct but fears you are not. 30 million Chinese died in the 1950s plus millions more since especially minority group members such as Uyghurs, moslems Christians and others

Just goes to show: don't make threats

I thought we all learnt to ignore such characters when we went to India in our teens. Now in our 60s & 70s implausible characters outside airport don't stand a chance- or do they?

That is a very uncharitable point of view. Also it's very vindictive. He deserves to walk free. It's the police and the architecture of law that deserves punishment. They are committing crimes against individual's freedoms all over the state at the moment. This kind of behaviour only adds to reputation of the police. Today they imprisoned a history teacher for THEFT because she had confiscated her kids IPads. They were seven years old. The mother had every right to confiscate the phone.

I would be tempted to leave a couple of loaded rat traps on top of my clothes
