Is that supposed to be some kind of off the wall joke? A causeway across about 80 km of the gulf. That blocks the ports.

https://www.tripsavvy.com/thailand-in-summer-3898490#:~:text=Summer in Thailand (June%2C July,days increasing steadily until October.

Right the higher spending tourists are going and the lower spending tourists are coming. In Pattaya section news said domestic tourists/foreign tourists is about 10/1. Like I've said before July, August used to be a mini high season along the beach for Europeans. With the so called improvement projects there like the glorified road that is supposed to pass for a promenade that is full of motorbike riders . As well as cafes replaced with fast food - they have lost that visitor demographic. There is not an endless supply of first time visitors (especially these days) to make up for the loses in returning visitors.

Of course it is. Who do they expect are going to continue putting up with that.

I don't know about that. The people who have found alternatives to Thailand recentely might have found something better. And are not going to be returning on schedule.

11% less ?. In an article last week in the English newspaper on the commentary pages. A Thai PhD who seemed very knowledgeable reported the the average tourist spend/holiday has gone from 50000 to 30000 baht. Down 40% . And also states that GDP this year about 1%

If you had the money she has would you stay in Thailand,?? I would not.

Nice sucker punch ! There are about 40 people I regret missing that shot.

Indeed, isn't it high time to stop all this running scared business. Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. I am unvaccinated for SARS-CoV-2. No question about my being exposed. Took test yesterday. Have type O, BMI 21.5. Exercise, raw garlic.

Asleep, in denial, thai apologitis. Maybe these people miss the "microagessions" But how in the world do they miss this video??? Unbelievable

Just leave these people ^ to their problems - because they got them.

And they would also be alive today if they were not obese, had kidney disease, diabetic, hypertension . All avoidable with a healthy lifestyle. Having said that: I'm sure the vaccines have saved lives in the comorbidities crowd.

I'm surprised most of these people with comorbidities are still walking around. Sure serious flu and covid puts them in serious condition. Not following at all this this mumbo jumbo from the Thai ministry of public health your referring to. Most serious cases , deaths ,hospital care involve those with comorbidities. End of story. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/04/15/coronavirus-risk-90-patients-had-underlying-conditions/2962721001/

Where are your facts on all this "from covid not with covid" Here some facts for you, because you need them. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34929892/

Can you name a good Thai wine from one of the Thai wineries you referred that is available in Pattaya ? The last bottle of Thai wine I bought could not even be used for cooking

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_fault

Indeed they do not have the technical knowledge to produce wine. The awful taste of these so called Thai wines is mostly from excess acetaldehyde from incomplete fermentation: the aldehyde is not being reduced (addition of hydrogen) to produce ethanol.

Did you read that many layered entire link? Because it is more complicated than 'someone says so'. At this point unless there is something very concrete/specific showing something illegal like transferring sensitive material to the Saudis In a quid pro quo exchange with his son in law, Jared who received a "loan" from Saudi Arabia - then this episode is going nowhere.

Your comparing Pebble Beach, CA. with Pattaya. Good Grief.

So in addition to avoid stepping into a well on the sidewalk. Watch for the hanging wires around your neck. And in this family friendly resort don't forget to look both ways when crossing the sidewalks

Some more for social media posts. This missing tile exposes a 1/2 meter drop to a water level. So this sidewalk just up from lam pho seafood market has no substrate at all in this area. I placed a cone on it. But a 120 kg person is going to collapse it down.

Yesterday on way to Jomtien and no one was working

A train of drivers who do not stop to allow a women with baby to continue crossing a road are selfish in any culture. And this face business only makes the problem worse : The concept of not embarrassing someone has been hi jacked by reckless selfish Thai drivers allowing them to continue being selfish and reckless without being held accountable.

About time to stick a fork in this one
