Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
The decline is hardly a surprise to me, Thailand has been putting up prices but not giving anything more so the value of the holiday has gone down, food prices up and hotels as well and then there is the variety of prices for the same thing. I was in Hua Hin last week and we got a tuk tuk ride for 100 bts, the return wanted 150 bts until the wife stepped in but this seems to be typical in : see what I can get out of the tourist ". The week before I was in Koh Samui and went into a pharmacy to get tablets for an upset stomach, the 10 tablets cost me 50 bts, where I live in Thailand I can get a box of 60 for 80 bts. ON the Lamai Night market my wife got food poisoning and put it down to old oil, not a problem for the kitchen and it saves them money but the market loses its reputation. Just a few examples of maybe why tourists might be looking elsewhere. No doubt non of these are the reason for the decline in TAT or similar, it will be the exchange rate, well do something about it then! -

Ousted Myanmar Envoy Charged Over London Residence Standoff
In a dramatic turn tied to Myanmar’s ongoing political crisis, the country’s former ambassador to the UK, Kyaw Zwar Minn, has been charged with trespass after refusing to vacate his official London residence. The 66-year-old diplomat will appear before a London court on 30 May, the Metropolitan Police confirmed on Wednesday. He faces a charge of diplomatic trespass, following a protracted dispute that began in April 2021 when allies of Myanmar’s ruling military junta seized control of the embassy in central London. Minn had openly supported the civilian government of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, which was ousted by a military coup in February 2021. In retaliation, the junta stripped him of his position, barring him from entering the embassy. Despite this, Minn reportedly remained at the ambassadorial residence, asserting his loyalty to Myanmar’s elected government. The former Conservative government in the UK voiced support for Minn at the time. Then-Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab condemned what he called “bullying actions” by Myanmar’s military regime and praised Minn’s “courage” for standing against them. Minn’s legal team maintains that the property belongs to the Union of Myanmar and that their client has been willing to hand over the keys — but only to a legitimate representative of the country’s democratically elected leadership. The 2021 coup triggered a brutal internal conflict, displacing more than a million people and straining Myanmar’s ties with Britain, its former colonial ruler. It remains unclear whether Minn is still residing at the contested property, but the legal proceedings suggest a deepening of the diplomatic fallout from a coup that continues to reverberate globally. -2025-05-16 -
