Shouldn't it rather be "prioritising quantity over quality in tourism" following the Visa-Free incentive?!   Opposite to Vietnam, Thailand does not aim at all for long stay tourism!  On the contrary, Immigration red-tape &amp; regulations are ridiculous and make it more difficult (i.e. for retirees) to enjoy a long term stay.  Still the old mentality: "Welcome to Thailand, come to party and shopping (spend all your money) and go home!"]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 23:34:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>White House boast backfires as Americans feel pain at the pump</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397096-white-house-boast-backfires-as-americans-feel-pain-at-the-pump/?do=findComment&comment=20561047]]></link><description>Yes , remember the screeching from Fox when prices hit 4 dlrs briefly .....in 2008  due to US  financial turmoil  ...</description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 23:31:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Andy Burnham wins Makerfield</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397050-andy-burnham-wins-makerfield/?do=findComment&comment=20561046]]></link><description>I believe I used shandy Andy because of an interview he made saying he loves shandy..not hand shandy Andy, that was someone else but since the topic name has been changed we will never know &#x1F44D;</description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 23:30:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump family cashes in as Albanian resort plan sparks revolt</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397026-trump-family-cashes-in-as-albanian-resort-plan-sparks-revolt/?do=findComment&comment=20561045]]></link><description>Not happened in Albania either. Georgia is a little complicated. The massive wave of Russian "draft dodgers" to Georgia early in the war changed the real estate market in Tbilisi dramatically making it much less affordable. That hasn't happened in Tirana yet. Also of course Georgia borders Russia, Russia continues to occupy a large chunk of Georgia, and the current Georgian government is resisting the will of the people to move towards Europe and away from Russia. But yes great food and wine. If I were to invest money, it would be in Albania vs. Georgia hands down.</description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 23:25:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cambodia Defends Colonial-Era Border Claims with Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397109-cambodia-defends-colonial-era-border-claims-with-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20561044]]></link><description>Cambodia is right, the only one that doesn't respect the border is Thailand on land.
