Thailand is not that great
beware of miserable expats planting seeds of doubt in your mind. and there are several on this forum and out there in the world. one of the survival skills in thailand is to watch who you let into your headspace as people (many expats) are highly skilled at stealing other people's peace of mind. -

Chinese Tourists Ditch Thailand! - Kidnap scandal sparks mass flight cancellations.
ASEAN NOW picture for reference only Thailand’s dream of welcoming nine million Chinese tourists this year is in serious trouble! The shocking kidnapping of Chinese actor Wang Xing—who was trafficked through Thailand to Myanmar—has sent shockwaves through the travel industry. Fear is spreading fast! Thousands of Chinese tourists are cancelling flights, ditching Thailand for safer destinations like Japan and Singapore. In January alone, flight cancellations to Thailand skyrocketed 94%, leaving airlines scrambling. Japan is the big winner! Chinese visitors flocked to Japan’s snowy slopes and hot springs, making it the top choice for Lunar New Year. The numbers don’t lie—980,000 Chinese tourists landed in Japan in January, doubling last year’s figures. Meanwhile, Thailand managed just 711,000 visitors in the same period. Thai authorities are in damage control mode! They’ve cracked down on scam gangs and cybercrime rings, teaming up with Myanmar to clean up their act. But experts say the damage is done—bad press is overshadowing Thailand’s safety efforts. The tourism sector is critical to Thailand’s economy, pumping in THB 2 trillion ($55 billion) a year. But if safety fears persist, Chinese arrivals could plunge to just 7.5 million, hitting the economy hard. Is there hope? Maybe. Flight bookings remain down for March but show signs of recovery in April and May. To win back tourists, Thailand must go beyond Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai—showcasing hidden gems to lure visitors back. As tourism expert Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun warns, Thailand must act fast or risk losing its tourism crown for good! As reported by Bangkok Post -- 2025-02-25 -

Attorney General Reveals Epstein Client List Under Review Amid Trump’s Directive
Confusing Trump with Biden and his daughter's diary? Sounds like it. Trump likes porn stars. He likes the whole blond tarty look with big hooters. He is famous for it. Forgot the Stormy Daniels lawfare already? Was only a few months ago. -

Attorney General Reveals Epstein Client List Under Review Amid Trump’s Directive
Trump has not stopped anyone looking at the files, the opposite in fact. If there was dirt of Trump it would have been used to get him out of the race. As for people on the Thai border, wtf are you babbling on about refugee program stopped? Every word you posred was total nonsene
