Thailand Vigilant Amidst 'Disease X' Outbreak in Africa
The world economy, before the Wright Brothers, was quite good. I am only asking for a quality of life we once enjoyed before the advent of air travel. This does not mean that we cannot have cruise ships and ocean liners, replacing air travel, of course. -

Kash Patel's "Government Gangster" Hit List
Ahh yes, the 34 bookkeeping felonies, where his accountants registered payments to his lawyer as legal expenses. I heard he tore the labels off a couple mattresses as well. -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
I agree to a certain extent, but keep in mind, that given countries like Singapore also practice dual pricing (though only in a very limited number of settings) it's hopeless to expect a much poorer country like Thailand to give up on it altogether. The best we can hope for is that some private establishments end the practice, that public hospitals might eventually end it as well (or only apply it to tourists) and for most other dual pricing venues, there will be more regular "fee free" days, such as around the New Year, and residency based pricing at others. We can also hope that in future, rather than using racial profiling, ALL visitors to any dual pricing venue will be required to furnish proof of Thai citizenship, failure to do so means paying the foreigner price. This is exactly the way they do it in Malaysia, Taiwan and certain other countries - you show proof of local citizenship, else you pay the standard price (they don't call it a "foreigner price" there). The Grand Palace, being a site of national significance, is likely to continue charging only foreigners and extend free entry only to Thai nationals on a more or less permanent basis. I think as long as the foreigner entry fee is dropped down to like 100 or 200 Baht and they actively enforce the Thai fee free entry option by requiring anyone claiming to be Thai to prove it via way of their national ID card or passport or birth certificate (for young children) this is OK. Again, while I don't like dual pricing in any form, with Singapore and Taiwan (2 rich countries) imposing it, there's zero chance Thailand will completely eliminate it, regardless of the economic impact on Thailand you mentioned above.
