Foreign Tourist Stuns Onlookers by Strolling Naked Through Phuket Hotel
Whilst Thais (and many AN readers) are happy to criticise these visa policies, Thailand would be totally stuffed without the foreign income. -

Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax
Not all. I am an example where I have worked in multiple countries around the world on international type contracts where taxes in those countries were handled by agents, not usually shown to me, and my only TIN available is from Thailand where I had to go and ask for one to show my overseas banks as ID. -

Sizes in Thailand - WTF
Even those can be useless. I have bought shorts shown as 36in but when i measure them barely 34 in. I never buy clothes on line now. -

Foreign Pilot Approval Raises Concerns for Thai Aviation
No need to be sarcastic. All EU airlines dismissed a lot of pilots during Covid. And because "pilot" is not a profession, these pilots got no sufficient social benefits and we're forced to look for jobs somewhere else. After Covid the airlines were looking desperately for pilots. But....there was no Thai pilot employed by Lufthansa Group. Short time contracts were issued for some coming back from South America, where they found a job during Covid. Feel free to ask more. 🤗 -

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.
