Tourism Minister Aims to Levy 300-Baht Fee for Visitors
But Chinese tourist dominated to a level way beyond Thailand, which given the dislike of Chinese tourists expressed on this forum would make it a non-starter for many I would have thought. -

Shingles - Worth the vaccination?
You cannot contract shingles. If you ever had chickenpox (in your mother's generation, almost everybody), the virus will sleep in your body forever and can get activated (for many reasons) to cause shingles decades later. -

Shingles - Worth the vaccination?
Herpes Zoster is the usual name all over the world. Only native speakers of English say "shingles" in colloquial speech (doctors would say herpes zoster) Could it be your Thai doctor was not a native speaker of English? -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
The ethnic cleansing of Germans that took place after the war. "The idea to expel the Germans from the annexed territories had been proposed by Winston Churchill, in conjunction with the Polish and Czechoslovak exile governments in London at least since 1942." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germans_(1944–1950) Churchill did sign off on the Morgenthau plan. Hull had informed Truman that 32 million Germans would starve to death. It gave him nightmares and affected his health. It is inconceivable that Churchill would not have been informed of these reservations or advised by his own staff that 32 million Germans would starve due to the Morgenthau Plan. This was Plan was partially implemented and informed the occupation policy of Germany for a long time. In regards to bombing, the British bombed Wilhelmshaven on 4th September 1939, killing 435 Germans. Between Britain and Germany the British started the bombing. And they certainly started serious carpet bombing, whilst Germany did bomb Polish cities and Dutch cities, that was always within the context of military operations. The bombings of German civilians by the RAF were just bombings of civilians plain and simple terror operations. A big difference. The same with the Blitz, the German intent was always to hit military targets until the British started carpet bombing German cities. Middle ages? I do not think I mentioned the middle ages. I think the distinction you make between the big three is not a sustainable one. They were all murderers. -

Today I met the first farang returning home because of exchange rate
depends on your perspective, i remember when it was over 70 baht to the GBP Exactly, those that arrived 20 years ago enjoyed a 70bht/GBP rate, and measured their savings on that exchange rate. If they did everything legal (I don't mention those on the forum that think they can beat the system forever), they won't have had an index increase on their pensions, though the exchange rate has declined. -
