Thailand's Tourism Surge Threatened by Zero-Dollar Chinese Tours
I know it is scarcasim, traditionally it is local companies who been the buyers of durian from the farmers not "corrupt oligarch-owned monopolies". As said before, with the chinese setting up wharehouses and buying, like zero dollar tours the money made is not kept in Thailand or the local communitys, just like what is happening in the frieght, trucking and courier industry in Thailand now. Farmers get a fair price as per what the market dictates, Thailand is the largest exporter to China with Vietnam coming in second. Thailand’s durian has a very good reputation for quality yet Malaysian durians get a better price due to a wider variety of flavors but cannot match the volume. Thailand will be the major supplier for now, yet they have Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and China's own developing durian farms being developed. If you think they earn more, then you do not understand the industry. I do agree about the monopolies in general, hence why we buy at our local farmers market so the money benfits the growers and is kept local instead of the profits being sent back to monopolies. -

Danish Expat Risks Prison in Thailand Over Lost Car Incident
Speaking from experience, he probably should have offered a small social club donation or at least a round of coffees to the BIB for their initial assistance, thus raising his social status. Subsequent visits to the cop shop demoted him to the ranks of annoying Falang and therefore a potential source of leveraged revenue. I'm not saying this is right, but this is Thailand. -

Buying one way tickets with a Re-entry permit
More likely the "visa" is expired/used and what he has is an extension of stay (and associated re-entry permit). Semantics perhaps but it's just as easy to use the correct terminology as not. -

Trump Breaks Security Protocol to Comfort Supporter
The fraudster doesn't have a clue what an actual "kind gesture" is, nor has he ever made a genuine one. Doesn't know how to. Only cares about self-obsessing, gloating, lying, whining and playing the victim when he's always the perpetrator. Time to wake up bro. You and all your looney toons cultists are being misled by a demented and dangerous narcissistic sociopath. -
