Trump Fires Back at ‘Lowlife’ John Kelly After Damaging Remarks

Bernie Sanders
Indeed, definitely Americans have. Look Bernie is past presidential age by now. He's done great service in the senate as a different voice caucusing with democrats, but that's the limit. As far as his chance to be nominated by the democrats in the past. rather ballsy of him to try to do that while actually NOT being a democrat. -

Thailand Anticipates Full Recovery of Indian Tourists This Year
Thailand is set to welcome a full recovery of Indian tourist arrivals this year, projecting over 2 million visitors and almost 90 billion baht in revenue. The boost is attributed to a visa-free scheme and increased flight availability. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) predicts at least 5,000 Indian tourists will visit during the Diwali holiday. Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thiengthong highlighted the importance of India as a key market, emphasising strong cultural and tourism ties between the two nations. By October 20, Indian tourists totalled 1.64 million, making India the third-largest source of visitors after Malaysia and China. In 2019, Thailand saw a record 1.96 million Indian arrivals, generating 80 billion baht. Many Indian visitors have planned weddings in southern Thailand this high season, noted Minister Sorawong. While flight capacity hasn't completely recovered, discussions with the Indian ambassador to Thailand are underway to explore adding more flights. TAT governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool expects Thailand to maintain 5,000 Indian arrivals daily for the rest of the year. Patsee Permvongsenee, TAT's executive director for the Asean, South Asia, and South Pacific regions, stated that visa-free travel has boosted Indian visitor numbers from an average of 4,000 to 5,000 daily, occasionally peaking at 6,000-7,000. However, challenges persist, such as the baht's fluctuating exchange rate and competition from other destinations. To celebrate this renewed interest, "Amazing Thailand Diwali Festival Bangkok 2024" will run from October 28 to November 3 at Khlong Ong Ang, featuring cultural shows, Indian cuisine, and religious events. The area is being promoted as "Little India," with the Tourism and Sports Ministry planning more festivals to attract both Indian and international tourists. As part of "Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year," further efforts aim to establish Khlong Ong Ang as a vibrant cultural destination, reported Bangkok Post.
