Rising costs threaten Thailand’s once-thriving restaurant scene
Thailand’s restaurant industry is in crisis, with daily revenues down over 50% and new openings halved since 2023. Rising costs—raw materials up 25% and wages up 5%—and weak tourism, especially from China, have hit the sector hard. Food delivery is growing but can’t offset the decline. Experts urge digital adoption, scalable models like QSRs, better financial practices, and government aid to prevent mass closures. While the overall outlook is grim, niche segments like affordable speciality coffee and matcha are booming, offering a glimmer of hope in a struggling industry. -

I Came for a Beer, Not Your Bleedin’ Life's Proper Grim Story!
You obviously don't like Lewie's stories. You've made that quite clear. Yet you continue to read them and complain about them, with multiple posts about them every single day! Question: If you don't like them, why do you read them? (Please don't tell us that you don't read them. That would be even worse.) Intelligent people stop doing things that they don't enjoy, if they have the choice. -

A Bangkok delivery rider was arrested on July 21 for possessing 59 ecstasy pills embossed with Donald Trump's face.

Owning a Win laptop, I would like to open a Line account, but don't have...
...a 'smartphone' required for that - and quite consciously don't want one .) Is this setting known to any of the honoured forum members? I read that it would be sufficient to do the registration using an s-phone, from then on rely on the laptop: https://help.line.me/line/desktop/?contentId=50001182 This poses the question if a combination of my data and someone else's phone number is practically doable? Of course, one does not want to henceforth become some kind of 'digital twin' - the phone owner receiving messages directed to me. Another option could be to use a SIM of mine for this process in his phone, but who could be willing to perform a 10-min SIM swap? Would there be a realistic workaround, and what could it consist of?
