Phuket Tourism Worries Mount Over Climate Change Impact
The whole population of Thailand is about 0.875% of the world. Nothing they can do alone will stop global warming. It requires a global initiative. -

Phuket Tourism Worries Mount Over Climate Change Impact
Thailand geographic location is what it is. It has never exclusively attracted high quality tourists in first place. Already 25 years ago Khaosan Road was full of Western backpackers and travellers of dubious economic wealth. These tourists are still visiting Thailand. However, the combined effect of the emergence of low-cost airlines, the growing disposable income available to Russians, due the demise of Communism, Chinese, Indians (and Malaysians, Indonesians, Bangladeshi), their sheer number (over 3 billion just considering China and India) and proximity, has diluted the presence of Western travellers so much, that they are now almost invisible. For your reference, the number of foreign visitors setting foot in Thailand grew from approximately 8.5 million in 1999 to over 38 million in 2019 (the chart below is from Wikipedia). Thailand expects to receive 80 million visitors in 2027, further amplifying this phenomenon. -

Random RCBO Trip...What Next?
I bet you have a N-E fault on your shed circuits. Disconnect all the neutrals from the neutral bar, hopefully it then won't trip, then put them back one by one until it does. -

Nice bike seat to let your 'luk mark' (prostrate) hang free in the breeze. 🙂 -

Are You A Sexpat Or Do You Ride The Backwards Morality Train?
Filthy sex tourists flocking together and imagining they are the majority and the norm. No one I knew back then came for the prostitutes. The people who did were a different breed with their own forums dedicated to discussing prostitution. They were in their own world and obviously believed that is how it was for everyone. The most frequently read chorus other than sex talk was with regard to "fat white women" and "dirty backpackers". They seemed to have a pathological hatred of their own kind if they weren't sex tourists. Many of those backpackers stayed and built businesses with local women and I don't mean prostitutes but normal people from the community. Filthy sex tourists have always been held in the lowest regard and they mix with the lowest of the low. That's the truth of the matter. -

Are You A Sexpat Or Do You Ride The Backwards Morality Train?
"So a tourist visiting Pattaya, would be a sex tourist..." Only if they are banging the locals, not all visitors to Pattaya are. If I shagged a Spanish girl in Ibiza would that make ne a sex tourist or just a holidaymaker?- 1

All the hotel apps fleecing
I guess many apps just use the fact that many people can't multiply and add a few numbers or are too lazy to do it - because the computer of the supplier did that already. Unfortunately, it seems they get away with this. -

Are You A Sexpat Or Do You Ride The Backwards Morality Train?
Plenty about - Almost everyone I know in Thailand, or to rephrase, almost everyone I know in Thailand who's partner I have also met is with (dating long term or married) to women who for the purposes of this converstation are normal (i.e. not ex ho's, not ex BG's, not ex Freelancers, not occupational farang hunters etc)... of course, we can't know someones past for sure, but after being here a long time, its easy enough to pick up on the vibe - and spotting 'ex-brass' is exceptionally easy for anyone who's spent any reasonable length of time here. Thats not to judge - but to point out that others who fail to identify or accept that others are in relationships with normal women (definition above) are quite wrong and only using their limited range of exposure which is usually from an area where exposure to Thai women may be limited to less virtuous skirt !!!... -

Are You A Sexpat Or Do You Ride The Backwards Morality Train?
First arrived in Thailand in 1962 aged 21, and with little experience of intimacy with women. Left after a month, a changed young man. Was I a 'sexpat' ? I was an expatriate who had sex in Thailand so I suppose I was depending, that is, on how 'sexpat' is defined. It appears to be a term of abuse invented by the gutter press in the UK. It bothers me, given that I live in Thailand and I have been happily married to a Thai lady for 40 years, but not that much. -

U.S. Seeks to Weaken Hezbollah’s Grip on Lebanon Amid Israeli Offensive
What is clear is that you'd rather criticize the CIA rather than the Iran financed terrorist groups that want America and the west destroyed- 1

Why Doesnt "Me Too" Apply to Democrats?
Well if you were an American, you would probably know that such a finding, if ever made and upheld, regarding allegations from 30 years ago, are not an impeachable offense. So again, you spout nonsense about things that dont concern you other than you can troll to meet your own psychological needs and that you nothing about, regardless.
