So you believe anecdotal evidence based on a sample of less than ten rather than collated stats produced by the government? That speaks volumes about you matey, if I felt that way I wouldn't be able to live here.

Certainly it is not exclusive to Thailand. I distrust all governments, it's the way I was raised, and the way I've lived my whole life. Works for me. I love Thailand. Never liked the government here, nor back in the US.

I understand the distrust of governments but I don't think it's a good idea to extend that distrust across the board. If you do, you end up trusting only the things you can touch and see which leads to a warped perception of reality.

90% of 39 mill, so they're looking at 35 mill in 2024, seems doable to me given the increase this year over last year 11 mill was substantial

One can always hope for the best.
