In today's release more of the stuff which gives the blokes at the Thai tourism promotion board headaches if not sleepless nights. It might result in only achieving 480% of the anticipated increase in tourist arrivals for 2023! https://aseannow.com/topic/1310719-thai-woman-calls-justice-after-thai-man-attacks-her-belgian-husband/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1310714-foreign-tourist-attacked-by-hostile-youngsters-in-pattaya/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1310746-panicked-guests-flee-pattaya-hotel-fire/

Well, it is "cooking the books" classes again anytime soon .......... the tourism promotion board as well as the board of investment have been spilling "good news" all the time. So, in all fairness, what could go wrong?

Don't you worry. We might no longer be around to see it happening but the "AWAKING" will be gruesome, once they realize, why the baby boomers could retire without financial worries, living in meanwhile paid houses, driving around in paid cars and enjoying life with their families. I - for one - have not the slightest clue, how the Generation Z wants to retire with what kind of money; I intend to spend the money I worked hard for, saved all my life. My kids were given a chunk of pre-inheritance, as they might need it now more than in 20+ years - hence I have no worries in spending my money my way.

He clearly understood the "phooyai" system which will guarantee his ascent ....... smart!

Excellent - the boys at the tourism promotion board will have sleepless nights again .........

The script for this soap opera is getting better by the day - it is 21st century though! Interesting though is that all those dinosaurs refer to all sorts of developments. Unless it got lost in translation, then the name of the game seems to be that the "political atmosphere will determine how quickly Paetongtarn becomes the prime minister. Wondering if anyone told those dinosaurs in the government house that there is an irrelevant element of equation called "voter" somewhere ........

Trying to snuggle in between Cambodia and Laos now?

A 60-member committee Quite a number of envelope receiving candidates; if you go into details you might see one or the other member having - purely coincidental of course - some interesting links to parties, party members and leadership? Just legalize casinos and get on with it; see how the West gets around all this and makes mega bucks in taxes and ancillary services like the hospitality trade. Nobody would visit i.e. Poipet for its offerings on the flower market 😉

Invest that money rather into education and teach the kids how to earn, keep and use money. Do not ever dream that a debt relief will have a lasting effect and I bet, that nine out of ten will be in financial trouble anytime soon again! Why should the taxpayer (as the government can only pass on, what it took away from somewhere else) foot this bill as well? All those alien are not "rich" as so assumed or proclaimed by Khon Thai, they just might be a little less uncareful in monetary manners. My parents hammered it into us by "don't spend money you do not have" and, guess what, it worked beautifully. Arguably I have only one phone, drive a (first-hand, trouble free) pick-up truck, live in a befitting accommodation and usually eat in. I do not cater to a second, minor or third wife, do not buy overpriced branded good and apply common sense.

Well, well, then I can only conclude to keep on seeking 😉

What a farçe all this is .......... incredible indeed!

Combine this latest proof of inferiority complex with taxation of the retirees pension payments and you will see "The Great Escape" - this time not as a movie from 1963 but reality show. Of course it is a complete joke considering the fact, that more than half of all Thais don't live at their registered address and well, tax payments by Thais, that is yet another unsolved mystery from outer space. Look, all foreigners were born somewhere else and moved here eventually. What those goons do not understand as they are simply too arrogant, racist or straightforward stupid is, that all those alien dirty farang can move again - they all did it once (or more than once) already.

For crying out loud; who is interested in these fabrications, who cares and why on Earth are those TAT goons blowing their own trumpet for something absolutely beyond their control.

"expressed concerns over the negative impact on Pattaya's tourism image" Yeah, Pattaya has been known since the mid 60s for its beaches and orchid gardens from which it proceeded to become Thailand's most favourite family beach resort. Are these idiots for real - honestly?

I left my native homeland 40 years ago but never really arrived in Thailand. I have family with kids and grandkids here - all good, all fine and no desire to move anywhere else but Thailand just made sure that I would never really fully arrive "home"!

Bangkok’s reckless foreign rider roils social media, netizens demand action Swiss Fugitive Arrested in Thailand on Drug Charges Hearing Put Off In Koh Phangan Murder Case Interesting, that within 24 hours there are three headlines of those bad, bad alien dirty farang breaking the law. While I agree to take them to reason and responsibility of what they did/might have done it clearly shows the increase of media racism, as - during the very same time - tens of thousands of law breakers of Thai origin could have been reported. The result is, that the public views non-Thais as evil, overly rich, lazy and for those reasons easy targets to be cheated, overcharged and lied upon - me thinks!

Yet another nonsense survey of absolute irrelevance. 2'000+ Thais from "all walks of life" and "all corners of the Kingdom" ........... does anyone seriously go for this smokescreen again? The government should keep its nose out of all this; the market regulates such issues automatically. If, repeat I F there are operators willing to run their business all night - so be it and otherwise they will close up for the night at 11pm, midnight or whenever. If, repeat I F there are customers for such business hours, then the operators will follow suit. No rocket science here but then again, who will tell those goons and clowns in the parliament building ...............

Situation is actually quite simple. Thaksin had been booted out of office in 2006 and left Thailand for good in 2008 just to return 15 years later. So, if a man got kicked out 17 years ago and still can call the shots, then it does not only tell you what this man is all about and what he can do. It also clearly proves the absolute inability of this country to get a decent government together. Be it a coup d'etat or a couple of elections; they all have one thing in common - they cannot get their act together. And then we are told, that Thailand is run democratically? Asking me I would put the one-eyed before the blind and then the consequence on leadership becomes very, very clear - me thinks!

The Queen Sirikit Navy hospital in Utapao is an excellent medical facility. They are very generous with the time of their patients but the treatment and medication is priced humanly and in absolute no comparison with what BPH or most other private hospitals charge. As said, take a book along, be patient and open timing and you'll get there.
