The UK KNOWS bad airports, we got several of them!

Exactly. Manchester airport particularly, imo. The only airport in the world (as far as I know) that charges for baggage trolleys..

<deleted>hole.

Seasonal hot weather returns, as it does every year upon year. Hey, but let's use a bit of fear-mongering to steer the chickenheads a bit..

Problems what problems, tourism will solve everything.

Focusing on the thriving tourism sector helps avoid the criticism of the exports (80% of GDP) industries which are really in the doldrums right now.

The ETIAS will not start until mid-2025.

Thanks for the info. 👍

I might require to visit France next month, mid April.

Is the ETIAS visa now required for UK citizens, or yet to be implemented?

The info online seems a bit confused and contradictory.

I know where the quote came from. You wrote what the source was. The fact remains that you insulted her many millions of fans, and her. If you don't like her or her music or the fact that she is successful at what she does, infinitely more than you are I'd guess, throwing insults was totally unnecessary and pointless. As for 'another pretty face', that applies to anyone in music, sport or anything else. No-one lasts at the top forever. Perhaps you haven't noticed that. If you don't like her, it is surely you that needs to get over yourself.

Gosh, Barry. I didn't mean to upset you so much.. Or indeed Taylor and her "Swifties". 😆

Good job she has such a sanctimonious soul like you to defend her, eh?

This 'vapid auto-tuned pop star' is a multi-million dollar industry, who has won many, many awards and who generates huge revenue wherever she goes. Which is, actually, what this article is about as Thailand missed out on its share. Calling her millions of fans 'stupid with bad taste' is insulting to them. and shows that the stupid one is you for not recognising that. Bad-mouthing those millions because you don't like her is juvenile, and suggests it is you that is out of touch, not them.

By the way, I wouldn't know one of her songs from another, like you I assume. But, while that doesn't stop you having an opinion about something you know nothing about and insulting those who do, I choose only to acknowledge her importance to the business she is in. 

Get over yourself. It's just an opinion. The quote was from PT Barnum who was the godfather of promotion. Like you say, she is a multi-million dollar industry, has a big team behind her, managing her image, writing her songs, making sure she says the right things, etc. Tomorrow there will be another pretty face, when her 15 minutes are done. Big deal.

The military hopes that Paetongtarn will gain a deeper understanding of the country’s defence mission through this programme. However, the NDC has faced criticism in the past, accused of using the courses to promote a patronage culture.

The patronage angle is probably the only thing this airhead does understand.

An apocalyptic blaze threatens to engulf vast swathes of the northern Thai landscape

Erm, it's just the same slash 'n burn farming practices annually in the North of this country.. No one except the farm owners or landowners enjoy it very much, but.

Looks like the AI bot that writes this crap is set to #Disaster Movie mode.

Why are farangs always looking for freebies...do you think foreigners get free in your country...

Um, yes they do. That's why they set off in little boats to get there. 🤪

Conspiracy theory garbage.

There has been an organic grass roots movement in Thailand for sexual minority equality for decades already.

Coincidence theory BS.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows what the WEF and it's unelected billionaire membership is up to.

Hint: nothing benefiting Thai or any other society.

This man has his priorities all out of whack, i can think of dozens other much more important issues to take

care off concerning most Thai people but he pushes for LGBTQ rights to 'advance rapidly'...

He is following the orders from his globalist bosses after his little trip to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, last month.

Sadly true. Two of my Thai staff have died from it within the last 15 years, at relatively young ages also.

It's their tail you have to avoid, they use it like a bullwhip.

Yes, surprisingly powerful also. I once had to remove a (baby) monitor from my house. I put on a pair of rigger's gloves to pick it up, and got a nice thrash across my forearm that was a bit startling. A big bar-steward like the OP would do a bit of damage I imagine.

It's not a good idea to be holding a lot of money in banks right now, imo.

He fell or was pushed. Doesn't mention if he was alone or with other people.

There seems to be a quite precipitous decline in sperm counts worldwide, as much as 50% lower than 40-50 years ago, according to many sources.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32168194/

Factors may / may not including diet, obesity, environmental pollutants, wifi, etc.

Seems to be Governments paying lip-service to population decline, but doing nothing (or actually propagating it) to stem this issue.
