Back when Thai were good, 25 years ago and more, they were very good. Britsh Airways haven't been any good since the days of a Fleet of Brtannia's ! -
Thai Airways Faces Backlash Over Business-Class Seat Fiasco

They lost the plot when they seperated with Scandinavian Airways; been very mediocre since then at best, mainly owing to very poor Thai Management. Gave up flying with them many years ago and would never go back ! -

Those Polled were most likely Family and Friends of Thai Politicians ! -
I paid in huge amounts of NI for the full 50 years of my working life but will never get a rise in Pension living here ! However; i knew that before coming here and prepared myself financially. Those that don't do so are just poor Managers of money and should live where they can get the increases, simple is it not ?

Interior Ministry official disrupts police at Songkran checkpoint
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Yawn; after being here 20 years and seeing this so many times i know this will end up either swept under the carpet entirely or at worst for the offender having to apologise and give numerous wai's to the offended. Thailand never learns; still stuck in a Cultural Black Hole created 500 years ago ! -

Thailand sets target to recycle all plastic waste by 2027
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's the Manufacturers of Food and Drink that need hammering into line as 'The Public' here are too lazy to deal with waste properly except for the ones that collect and recycle for cash. They go on about getting the Cafe's to do away with Plastic Straws and Markets not using Plastic Bags etc but the easiest answer to this is simply BAN the manufacture of these items. Oh dear; can't do that for upsetting too many Rich Business Men who don't care two hoots for the People or the Environment ! Put all Drinks back in returnable Glass Bottles like we had as Kids and do away with all the Double Packaging on things like Biscuits, Cakes etc. We take Cloth Shopping Bags with us to Market and invite Traders to put the Veggies straight in but they want to put them in Plastic Bags first because nobody from any 'Ministry' ever teaches them how do do anything properly to protect the Environment. Of course; it will never happen because Public Officials here only want to do things that earn them Backhanders ! -
Thailand and China join forces for lunar and space research

Seems to me many Thai's live in Outer Space for the most part already ! -
At School they teach the Kids that Thailand is 'The Greatest Nation On Earth'. If this were truly the case then surely it would be completely self sufficient and wouldn't need Tourists ! Lol.

Whilst it sounds covienient i don't trust any Thai Officialdam and always get mine at the Immigration Office before time to fly.

Thai Officials Announce "Innovative" Expat Health Measure
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well; we live in Chiang Mai and have been wearing Masks in Public Places since the Covid Outbreak. Now we are in 'Pollution Season' so all the more reason to use them. In other words; any new regulation is pointless for us personally but it is descriminatory no matter how you look at it, but what do you expect when the whole Country is Xenophobic thanks to years of Government mismanagement regarding people from other Countries. As i remind Immigration Officials on every visit to Offices...'' People from another Country are called 'Foreigners' and people from another Planet are called 'Aliens' '' ! -

After several years of normal readings; i have two full medicals a year and i'm 78, my LDL went above the safety levels and the Doctor asked me if i wanted a Drug to help or if i wanted to try to correct it myself through diet and exercice. I upped my excercise every day and stopped eating so much processed food laced with too much salt and sugar and six months later i was back in safe numbers. I find it just takes will power and more thinking about what food i eat. I hate Drugs unless there is no other way and the longer i can control life without any the better.
