Huw Edwards given suspended sentence over indecent images of children
Agree. A solicitor (criminal defence) once told me that I'd be amazed at what is found on 'ordinary' peoples computers. Also what people collect; printed matter, cine films, VHS cassettes, DVD's and, of course, download. I asked if it made a difference whether the material was illegal at the time it was obtained or legal/illegal where it was sourced from but she didn't give me an answer. -

Any restaurants serving brown rice?
Yeah, 'same same but different' regarding alternative milk options in coffee. 9 out of 10 coffee shops only offer whole milk. While rare, it's now possible these days to find oat and almond milk options. I'm hoping, with time, that more restaurants will start offer healthier carb options like brown rice, quinoa, or the berry rice that the other poster mentioned, which is news to me! -

Thai residents flooded with massive bills, demand monthly relief
Stupid is someone who writes comments like the above. No one believed that the water was free, the water authority just stopped send the usual monthly bills without an explanation. The lady had to contact the water authority to find out what was going on - after the event. -

How about some easy DIY bacon?
The streaky I just sliced has come out OK. Unfortunately the pork-belly from makro seems to be mostly "streak", so only one slice per serving (and a couple of back slices of course). -

Tourism Minister Aims to Levy 300-Baht Fee for Visitors
Thailand's newly appointed Tourism Minister, Sorawong Thienthong, is set to revive the previously shelved 300-baht tourism tax, aiming to enhance tourism revenue to at least 3 trillion baht this year. "I believe the collection of the tourism fee benefits the tourism industry, as the revenue can be used for infrastructure development and ensuring tourist safety," remarked Thienthong, who took office recently. The tourism tax proposal, initially approved by the cabinet in 2022, mandates that foreign arrivals by air will pay 300 baht, while those entering by sea and land will be charged 150 baht. However, the scheme has yet to be endorsed via publication in the Royal Gazette. Thienthong stated that the ministry needs more time to assess the system's readiness before deciding on implementing the tax within this year's final quarter. The minister emphasised that the collection procedure would be finalised in a manner that does not discourage tourists. He is also keen to continue the "Ignite Tourism Thailand" initiatives introduced by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, which include developing entertainment complexes, aviation hubs, and second-tier cities. "We will encourage the private sector to invest more by offering incentives, such as tax breaks," Thienthong added, referring to plans for new man-made attractions and promoting second-tier cities. Tourism stimulus programmes, similar to the successful We Travel Together co-payment scheme for hotel rooms and air tickets during the pandemic, may also return to ensure income distribution to locals. The upcoming high season events, like marathons, Loy Krathong, and the New Year countdown, are anticipated to boost revenue to the target of 3 trillion baht from both domestic and international markets. The minister remains committed to the long-term goal of achieving 3 trillion baht from foreign markets alone within the government’s four-year term. Additionally, he supports the idea of hosting a Formula One motor racing event in Thailand, suggesting a street circuit on Ratchadamnoen Road to reflect the country's unique character. Thienthong also addressed concerns about price-dumping tours, stating that while the number of illegal companies might not have increased, the economic losses are potentially greater. He has ordered authorities to curb such activities. To discuss tourism policies further, Thienthong will meet with 20 private tourism operators, including the Association of Thai Travel Agents and the Tourism Council of Thailand, soon, reported Bangkok Post.
