Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
Many of the bars owned by farang have Thai wives and will stay here forever, all the money goes back into staff and buying services and products in thailand. All of the properties end up in Thai families names also. -

Positive stroke for moving to Chiang Mai
What goes through MY mind is.... a. Chiang Mai is the very best culture I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. And, maybe it's just the Lanna in me. b. I enjoy the smoking season because: When it's so smokey that the data goes off the charts.... THEN... I have no guilty regrets about remaining indoors, seated at my computer, instead of outdoors hiking in the mountains, and sweating like a pig. c. Everybody knows that the Farang in Chiang Mai are smarter than the Farang living anywhere else in Thailand, on average. Just check the data. Or, just look at what the Farang are wearing in Pattaya compared to what the Farang are wearing in Chiang Mai. c2. Or, just read the Chiang Mai Sub-forum, and compare it to the Pattaya Sub-forum. The difference in intelligence is like....Night and Day. No contest, even. d. Honestly, I have never loved living in Asia as much in my 45 years here, as I now do living in Chiang Mai. I guess, maybe, judging from "Point d" that one must be way above average IQ to understand the many blessings we receive after moving to the best city in Thailand, which is Chiang Mai. e. I hate the way newcomers (Farang) can't even pronounce the "Chiang" in Chiang Mai. Total morons, in my view. -

Samsung repairs / after sales service
I have an 18 year old plasma Panasonic bought in UK and brought out here when I emigrated. Still going strong. I did buy a 55 inch LG OLED about 4 years ago which I put in the new house. It was a bargain 25K baht half price because it was last year's model but is fantastic . Reviews say LG make the best OLED on the market. Can't disagree and being a smart TV has pre installed TV apps like Netflix etc. -

Cannot find a working offline translate app
Thanks for the replies. The Thai language pack had already been downloaded and installed, and it still wasn't working, and I'd already tried uninstalling and reinstalling this and the Translate app, but I did it again, by a slightly different route, and now it works offline for text but not voice input. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. I don't think Google have yet made the voice input an option for Thai. This and Lens are very useful apps here! -

Why do receipts cost so much?
You're right. I never mailed. I only did it online or in person. -

Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches
Project 2025 is a blueprint for the next conservative administration—namely a Trump presidency—developed by the Heritage Foundation with support from other right-wing organizations, which has primarily gained attention for its 900-page policy roadmap proposing wide-reaching and controversial changes to every aspect of the executive branch. "Vance, however, openly has close ties with the Heritage Foundation and its founder Kevin Roberts, who told reporters the organization was privately “really rooting” for Vance to be the VP pick and told Politico in March that the senator “is absolutely going to be one of the leaders — if not the leader — of our movement.” -

Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
If you cannot beat them then join them. Tourism is about planning and creating products befitting the needs of the visitors. Over the last 40 years I could see the sheer downslide of tourism. The actual numbers of visitors might have gone up but the average spending and average stay per visitor when down the halligally. Study how quality tourism is created; starting with the completely ridiculous visa laws, rules and fees - ongoing changes on that front. Carry on by abolishing ideas like "landing fees" and the likes. Get experts in with a proven track of record, irrespective of race, religion or nationality. Thailand's tourism industry is fç*%"*%d and will not be recovering with this avalanche of Chinese zero-$ bus (and soon train loads) while the Southasian cake of the business shares a small bottle of Chang beer with straws on the staircase of 7/11. Allow foreign guides to help with group tours; they know their people MUCH better than Somchai with his "same same but different" language skills. Ensure better press on transport; exploding busses or other vehicles without breaks, the "scene-fleeing drivers", the drunk Yodsaks steamrollering pedestrians on a zebra intersection ....... But yeah, the dirty farang should shut up and buy what the semi-divine find appropriate. Result is, that the dirty farang go elsewhere, where the product befits his needs, the price-value ration is balanced, where some English is spoken without dual pricing ....... the list is endless. As long as the tourism authority climaxes each and every week over yet another printed lie on figures, facts and revenues which must have been dreamed up in a big smoke of seriously good week; there is no other way to assume this craziness. -

Hit and run got me, I'm all broken!
The fines are too small to be a deterrent, usually 200 baht. Take someone's scooter away for a month, it probably affects their livelihood.

When Trump wins can we expect more of the same from the violent Left?
