Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
The other day I saw a picture of Ao Nang beach. Back one day in November 1989, myself and an American sat on that beach wondering if it would be possible to visit the islands we could see offshore (it wasn't). We were the only two people there. Behind us were coconut groves and a few grass huts. If you dove into the water, which was a beautiful azure blue, shoals of tiny baitfish would leap out and scatter. There must have been millions of them because it happened every time. The place was a picture postcard tropical paradise. Given the increase in cheap flights, commercial pressure, etc, it was always going to be impossible for Ao Nang to remain pristine. But what they've done to it is borderline criminal. Who would go there now, and for what? All across Thailand you can repeat the story of Ao Nang in greater or lesser degrees. The golden goose is dead. They've killed it. -

Cheap Heinz Beans.
Baked beans are great with a meat dish, and also with eggs for breakfast. They are kinda sweet and I wish they would make some with less sugar. They go so well with BBQ, but I haven't had BBQ here in Thailand yet, although I see some places have it. Wondering how good it is as we always had the best BBQ living in Texas. Recently I made 13 bean soup, with beans I found on Shopee, although they weren't cheap at 376 Baht. -

dying from cancer at home in Thailand
Several Thai friends and relatives have died of cancer. All were taken care of in their home by relatives. Same as UK, they received 3 daily visits by district nurses. Unlike the UK they also received one daily visit by a doctor in their end of life stage. We have a family friend who is a nurse at our local community Government Hospital who provides end of life care. He tips us off immediately someone we know has died and we go to their house to pay our respects. There are always pain pumps around, electric pressure relieving mattresses and masses of medication and other medical supplies. Never any suggestion that anyone was left to die alone in pain and of suffocation whilst conscious.
