Maybe all arrivals are counted and that are not always tourists.. Domestic arrivals should be left out. Long haul flights are indeed more expensive and except a few have already their holidays months ago. maybe if the US and Iran have reached a complete ceasefire, things will improve, but still with rising costs for daily groceries, it will be sure that expensive holidays will have to wait. Expecting, hoping and estimating is not reality. But the government want to have things look good.

He was a Canadian who campaigned as a Technocrat. Technocrats believe that elections are unnecessary if you put experts in charge. In WW2, the Canadian government became a bit suspicious of him and threw him in prison for a bit because he failed to be sufficiently anti-Nazi.  Post-WW2, he saw what was happening in South Africa, and liked what he saw in the new laws that essentially enabled Apartheid, and moved his entire family over there, including Elon's mum. But before he left, he wrote a few articles blaming the Jews, and picked up where he left off in his new paradise. Years later, Elon, after deciding South Africa wasn't the paradise for his people, and because of a sudden urge to avoid military service, decided he was actually a Canadian after all, and moved to Canada.  Now he's telling everyone that their failures in life can be attributed to politicians, and that in fact, experts like him, can sort things out, when he's on the ketamine.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:32:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Has Thailand Ruined Casual Dating?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396564-has-thailand-ruined-casual-dating/?do=findComment&comment=20548957]]></link><description>From reading over the years many said they wanted to move but stuck by kids.

What you are seeing is not protests calling for the police to impose more law and order, but  actions ordered by C-Company of the UDA to assert who is in control of East Belfast, and its not the Crown. When I lived and worked over there, a euphemism used by both sides was Community Justice; it was used to exclude what was once the RUC, later the PSNI, from certain areas.  What community justice would look like:  2 car thieves were caught red handed by cop in a North Belfast shopping centre carpark. They were a pair of catholic lads. They were duly delivered to an East Belfast street corner, and the cops announced to the locals which traditions they belonged to. Anyone who knows Belfast  will know what East Belfast is like. The lads were beaten black and blue, multiple fractures. Car thefts stopped. Was justice served, or mob rule? A protestant car thief was caught, not by the police, near Dunmurry. There was no handing him over to the other side. He was found literally nailed to a farm gate. Someone eyed up a girl in a West Belfast bar. Problem was the girl already had a boyfriend. The would be Lothario was taken to the top floor of one of the Divis blocks, and they shot him through both knees. To drive home the point, the gunmen disabled the lift and blocked the stairwell with a shopping trolley. Then they called for an ambulance, which was jolly decent of them. The delay in the crew getting to the man meant they were unable to save one of his legs. Community justice at work.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:19:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Has Thailand Ruined Casual Dating?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396564-has-thailand-ruined-casual-dating/?do=findComment&comment=20548951]]></link><description>In many cases you are right.

Investigators said the pair were located at a hotel in Udon Thani and brought in for questioning, where they allegedly admitted the child had been born in Nong Khai before being left in Udon Thani.  Get today's headlines by email   The case began on 10 June 2026 when a female infant, was discovered beneath a rain tree behind the Sing Isan warehouse in Soi Chan Charoen Suk, Don Udom community, within Udon Thani municipality. Three boys aged between 10 and 12 found the child while fishing near a drainage canal and alerted authorities.  Emergency responders performed CPR for around 15 minutes before transferring the infant to Udon Thani Hospital. Police officer Pol Sgt Maj Charoen Chanrak, who assisted at the scene, later said the baby was still warm when found but had no pulse, and hospital staff were unable to restore vital signs.    Police from Muang Udon Thani Police Station reviewed municipal and private CCTV footage from the area. Investigators identified a tall, fair-skinned foreign man with brown hair and a dark skinned woman carrying the infant wrapped in towels.  Footage showed the pair walking through several streets before stopping briefly near a house with a security camera, then leaving the infant beneath the tree at approximately 9.20am on 10 June. The couple then left the area, returning by the same route.    According to Pol Col Phatthanawong Chanphon, superintendent of Muang Udon Thani Police Station, officers searched hotels, resorts and accommodation within a one-kilometre radius of the scene. One hotel reported that a foreign man had enquired about a room, but declined to stay after being told the rate was 1,400 baht per night.  Further information was provided by police in Nong Khai, who reported that the couple were recognised from TV coverage and had previously appeared at a coffee shop in the province. Police said the pair had reportedly carried out some form of strange ritual at the coffee shop before leaving and travelling to Udon Thani.    Authorities had also checked immigration records and found no evidence that either individual had left Thailand via the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge checkpoint in Nong Khai, which keep the focus of the investigation to the Udon Thani area.  The two foreign tourists were found staying at a local hotel, where they had checked in the day before. The hotel staff reported that upon entering the hotel, they played, what they described as tribal music from their mobile phones, continuously. The housekeeping staff also reported that they had played loud tribal music all night.   Pictures courtesy of Komchadluek  Police later reported from their investigations, that the man was identified as a 39-year-old Swedish national and the woman as a 29-year-old American national, the names were withheld by authorities. When questioned by police, both have so far denied any involvement in the case.  Komchadluek reported that police said the couple remain in custody while questioning continues to establish the circumstances and possible motives behind the baby&#x2019;s death. Investigators are preparing further legal proceedings as the case remains under active investigation.   Join the discussion?   Already a member?
