Skyscanner.
Clueless utterly clueless lol You go look yourself fella. Choose say Eva to London one way on Eva website on any day you fancy. Then use Skyscanner and I bet at least the first 6 agents (at the very least) will be cheaper -

Apart from Thais working in the tourism sector, does anyone actually want Russians here?
It really is when they step on my toes. If they kept their mouths shut after hours, acted cordially and politely then I wouldn't have any gripes with them. -

Van Crashes While Descending Doi Inthanon, Collides with Pickup and Pajero Car
Pictures from responders. A crash occurred on the morning of December 8, as a van descending Doi Inthanon at speed collided with a white Mitsubishi Pajero and a pickup truck, leaving all three vehicles severely damaged. The van then hit a power pole before coming to a stop in a roadside ditch on its side. The incident was reported to Chom Thong Police Station in Chiang Mai at approximately 10:00. The crash site was located on the downhill road leading from Doi Inthanon, just before the entrance to Wachirathan Waterfall. At the scene, authorities found the white Pajero wrecked, stopped in the middle of the road. The pickup truck had overturned on the left side of the road. The van was found in a ditch with extensive damage, its front facing uphill towards Doi Inthanon. Eyewitnesses reported that the van was traveling downhill at speed when it first collided with the Pajero, causing the Pajero to spin out and hit a steel barrier before coming to rest in the middle of the road. The van then struck the pickup truck, which veered off the road, collided with a tree, and overturned. The van finally slammed into a power pole before losing control and coming to rest in a roadside ditch. Four people in the van, including the driver and passengers, were seriously injured. The drivers of the Pajero and the pickup truck also sustained severe injuries. Rescue teams transported all the injured individuals to Chom Thong Hospital for treatment. Police are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident and will pursue legal action as necessary. -- 2024-12-08 -

Living in Thailand is very cheap?
Very good point (and I agree) but ... people who only look at quantity will never agree with people who understand quality. So, thanks, @BangkokReady for your post here. -

Starmer Faces a Crucial Decision: Sack Reeves or Risk Political Collapse
Where does that supposed "quote" appear in The Guardian? The nearest your linked article gets to criticism of Starmer is to call his trip to Saudi 'controversial'. You criticise Starmer for betraying his principles in visiting Saudi but you would, no doubt, berate him for putting his principles above the country's economic interests if he were to refuse to deal with the Saudi regime: Heads Starmer loses, tails you win. Is this the article by Kuenssberg in question? If so, nowhere does she suggest that he should consider resigning as you infer. Instead, it is simply a very well written piece of analysis of Starmer's current situation. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2l781461no The Tory supporting media has not turned; it has been publishing anti-Labour articles from the moment that the election date was announced and has upped the output since this government took office: The Labour supporting media has not turned against Starmer (yet). Like many of us, they are disappointed with what we have seen from the Labour government to date. However - unlike those critical of this government from Day 1 - there is a realisation that 5 months is far too short a period over which to pass final judgement. If things remain as they are this time next year, then it will be reasonable to question whether Starmer and this government is really up to the mark. -

Reasons Chinese Buying Realestate?
Well, spider, I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time. The advances China has made in the last 30 years are spectacular, but, as you say, the CCP remains rooted in control and the continuation of their hold on power. But in a country of 1.6 billion, what are the alternatives? Democracy? The country would grind to a halt. Above all else I believe the Chinese love their country, and so sacrificing some personal liberties, abhorrent to us in the West, is not such a big deal there. China first! -

Apart from Thais working in the tourism sector, does anyone actually want Russians here?
Bottom line is the government of Thailand wants them here as long as their trashed currency still has any value. What we as foreigners think is irrelevant. Why so many Russians? The usual reasons to escape harsh winters to the tropic and not so long a flight especially from Siberia and the Russian far east. Since Putin's war of choice, yes a lot more draft dodgers, and whether they're just cowardly or are actually against the war is between them and their dog. It's really none of our business. Keep in mind there are very few countries that are desirable to travel to now that Russians can actually easily enter. Thailand has decided to be one of those countries and I respect their decision and if I didn't, it wouldn't matter anyway. -
