Apart from Thais working in the tourism sector, does anyone actually want Russians here?
My issue is the Russians in Thailand is that they have driven up rental rates. I was on Koh Phangan about 9 months ago, hoping to rent a property that I previously lived in. Not a chance! Rented out to a Russian at 3 times my old rent rate! I stayed a week looking to rent a property for a modest rent. Nope - all rented to Russians and the countryside being built over with Russian-owned projects. I chatted with a Thai family who had several studio rental properties on their land. They told me that they were very happy when a Russian came and rented all their properties for 2 years at a discounted rate. Then that happiness turned sour when the guy sublet those properties at high rates to drunken, loud Russian families.... I didn't stay on that island. Ruined by Russians. -

Foreign Pilot Approval Raises Concerns for Thai Aviation
+1 to all that. There's no substitute for experience. And yet now there's even discussion (to be clear, not in Thailand) about allowing Single Pilot Operations for commercial carriers to save money. Sure, may all go uneventfully, but what happens when there's a major systems failure on an approach or departure at night in hard IMC? Single pilot workload is high at best of times during those flight phases in day VFR. Technology is great (just follow the magenta line) but is just one tool in the bag. Back to Thailand: sure, there are hundreds of unemployed CPL holders here. But also many trained to standards that could be better: one CPL holder I know did ONE solo flight during training. Every other 'solo' flight was two students in the aircraft, so one was PF and one was PM, on basis that this was good for experience building. Another went (just before Covid) for an assessment with Qatar and was told that, basically, she'd need to re-do much of her training to meet the required standard. There are also a lot of young people here who've become pilots because it's 'cool' or 'high status', not because they love flying/aviation. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Good luck on finding "any maintenance/shop" manual on EVs. All I've ever seen is the owners manual. -

Warning Signs: The Looming Collapse of a Critical Ocean System
I do not say I agree with the solutions the politicians force on us, I just say there is no doubt in mind we contribute to the climate change as other natural cycles does. The truth is we abuse this planet, and contributes to an escalation. What you and me thinks doesn't change the facts -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
I refuse to enter any park that adopts this discriminatory practice. I live here, support a thai family and probably pay more taxes than the average thai but am treated like this !! -

Sizes in Thailand - WTF
I've only bought clothes online from 2 vendors in USA, and only because I also use to shop at their brick & mortar stores; Eddie Bauer and another that escapes me. Alterations were free, usually. Hard enough buying in stores here / TH, since many materials aren't pre-shrunk before assembled. Did find a couple brands that sizing was good & consistent. Now the wife makes everything.
