Report Race Against Time: Bangkok May Be Below Sea Level by 2030
The IPCC beg to differ. In AR6 https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/figures/figure-3-4 Most media climate doom merchants implicitly use SSP5-8.5 (> 3C warming by 2100), but that is no longer considered likely. Instead up to 2C is likeliest at the moment and this trajectory can also change. Decarbonisation proceeds apace, despite the prognostication of government. "Official" climate change explainers neglect that SSP5-8.5 has been unlikely for many years (not least because it assumes more coal than exists would be burned). Unfortunately it tends to form the basis for government policy responses. Makes sense to me. I assume you'd need to plan to counter both sea level rise and Venice-like sinking. -

Tourism Indian Tourists Defy Trends, Boost Thai Arrivals Amid Airline Woes
File photo for reference only Despite a recent Air India aircraft mishap, Indian tourists continue to flock to Thailand, defying global short-haul market trends. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) targets a record 2.4 million Indian arrivals this year. In response to market dynamics, a new 750-million-baht flight stimulus programme is on the horizon. Patsee Permvongsenee, TAT's executive director for regions including South Asia, emphasised India's enduring love for Thailand. The convenience of a short 4-5 hour flight and visa-free access remains a significant draw. As of mid-July, 1.26 million Indians had visited Thailand, making them the third largest group of visitors after Malaysia and China. This influx includes young millennials, wedding parties, and business travellers. To further encourage Indian tourists, the Thai government offers a 150-million-baht incentive subsidy, enhancing similar schemes managed by TAT's offices in New Delhi and Mumbai. Siriges-a-nong Trirattanasongpol, from TAT's New Delhi office, acknowledged the Air India crash last month affected sentiment. However, many Indians are still keen to visit Thailand even during the off-peak season. While a joint promotion with Air India is on hold, TAT is partnering with other airlines. The Indian government is also allowing more foreign flight slots, supporting increased travel. Adding to the excitement is the upcoming launch of Noida International Airport, poised to provide new flight opportunities. Thai Airways sees potential in India to compensate for a slump in Chinese tourists. Many Indians use the airline for connections to other Southeast Asian destinations. Thai Airways serves eight Indian cities, including 22 weekly flights to Delhi and 11 to Mumbai, and is exploring flights to Noida International Airport. The new airport's proximity to the Taj Mahal could appeal to travellers. Several airlines, such as Thai Lion Air and British Airways, are set to participate in the subsidy programme, which offers 500 baht per passenger to attract 500,000 more tourists. This strategic push highlights Thailand's commitment to maintaining robust tourism figures, drawing on its appeal and ensuring a vibrant future for the industry.

Kissing on the mouth
It was a different time. For all the talk of prostitution in Thailand, Thai society seems extremely backward in terms of sexual permissiveness. A lot is tolerated from farang, but the Thais themselves are ultra conservative in terms of sexual permissiveness. Sex is often seen as bad. It's not rare to see TF profiles that say "no sex talk", etc, the laws in Thailand on porn, faux outrage when a restaurant owners shows cleavage and the prohibition of sex toys tell their own story. No wonder Thai girls are not into heavy kissing., at least for public consumption.
