One thing about 'horizons' is they are always moving, you can never get there. Sounds like just more bravado to me.

More news from planet gaga.  I normally spend winter in Thailand which I love to do.  Due to the ludicrous entry requirements, expensive potential incarceration if I test positive on arrival and the general lack of fun I am giving it a miss this year.  I have now booked a couple of months in Gran Canaria.  Sad really as I know many poor Thais could have benefited from the expenditure from people like me.  Still the rich elite who run the country will do just fine regardless - so that is ok.

Hell Yeah! It´s a spike in Hua Hin too. Before they had nothing, and now they have about 10. That´s a spike of 1 000 %!

So the clown in chief is promoting more Mega events to get the tourists in yet won't open pubs where responsible middle aged people like to meet over a few beers. Fortunately there are a few options to meet in Hua Hin where alcohol is served as the local bill don't seem to bother the owners. At least they get it. Without serving booze these restaurants  would die
