    Twice daily, once in the hotel before she got on the tour bus and after breakfast and once before dinner back at the hotel again.

     

    Stools firm and of natural colour and consistency.

    wow glad you cleared that up

     

    this thread is dead now since you have closed down all doubts about anything

     

    what is your opinion on flat Earth...…...is it really flat, is there really a big flat screen tv projecting the sky that we all look up to that isn't really there, are there really thousands of extremely stupid people enriching these highly cleaver people praying on the mentally challenged few

     

     

    Yes some people still believe the Earth is flat - that is just as relevant as your last sentence and just as coherent 

     

    I can write you a prescription 

  2. being out and about in Pattaya Phuket Chang Mai or other tourist spots isn't a seriously big problem as Chinese and western tourists rarely frequent the same places

     

    The risks are plane bus train taxi and general public transport services were you have no choice but to mix with many nationalities

     

    I don't have an issue in Pattaya as westerners tend to have their own places to go and rarely mix with bus loads of Chinese

    Well... "not well traveled"... in order to get out of China they need to get an approval from PSB (Public Security Bureau). That's why we mostly see retired people. PSB have no problems with them

    yes very true - lets not forget China is a communist country - the few that have been living abroad escaped - now they can travel in tourist groups, when they come to Thailand they are on a set crafted tour of gouging and being ripped off, they are guided through pattaya like we don't even know they are there except for the buses stopping at various venues around the city - places were we do not go, we see them being herded onto boats at Bali port in the hundreds all following like lemmings - that is not tourism like anything I have seen in all my life and I have travelled a lot

     

    Yes we used to have Club med etc years ago but if you wanted to do your own thing no problem - these people are treated like infants on a school trip - counted onto the bus and counted off - counted across the road - counted into the restaurant and counted out - that is what they are used too - being herded and controlled - ah this is a holiday - it is exploitation of people who don't know any better - that is what it is and shameful Thailand are sucking them dry - it is bordering on traffiking - I have seen sheep herded like this but they don't have to pay for it

  4. Devolution is a great thing but certain populist vote buying options should be excluded

     

     

    we have in Scotland free university - LAB put this carrot on their election manifesto also, it should not be allowed unless it is nationwide

     

    SNP offer this purely to by votes, when their fund run out for other things they blame the rest of us in the UK for not giving them enough money - oh how easy that is - the rest of the UK can't actually afford the money for free uni fees and quite frankly most of us oppose it anyway - but somehow SNP can afford it...……..who is paying for it - well every tax payer in the UK - WE ARE PAYING FOR THEIR VOTE BUYING POPULIST BULL

     

    Time for Westminster to step in - if they cannot afford a properly run NHS and other Infrastructures and services then SNP are not fit for purpose

     

    At the very least offering free University fees should be struck off the list of things they are allowed to do

     

    we in the rest of the UK are paying for it yet we cannot use it - ?
