"Omg!!! He's Going To Take Our Meds Away" HHS Dir. RFK Jr reviews SSRIs
All these silly crying stories. None are true. No one has been deprived of medicine by USAID and US agency bureaucratic cutbacks unless they were one of the slackers that got fired. Post the link (from the Guardian, MSNBC) please. -

Backpacker Paradise or Overcrowded Chaos? Pai Struggles with Tourism Boom
Tell all those goons in the government, be it from the Tourism Minister down to the Tourism Authority of Thailand and all other countless, pretty useless, agencies burning taxpayers money by the billions the basics: You cannot have your cake and eat it! If you have too many of too undesired then you might have to go back to the school bench and try to understand, that all those tourism promotional efforts were only focussed on "number of heads". 40 years ago you had a fraction of tourists on a completely higher level, better educated and financially much more independent. You can generate money either by price or by volume; you've chosen volume and are now stuck with the outcome. Regretfully you can hardly reverse this while Thailand remains a sparkling example of how to ruin an excellent slice of high quality tourism and change it for the problems you have literally everywhere now. No quality tourist wants do deal with cheapies of hordes of loud Southasians or equally undesirable Chinese avalanches overrunning literally anything everywhere all the time. You're welcome; stop moaning and work on solutions ....... -

What's an "impressive" middle class income and savings in Thailand in 2025?
One of the things I loved about Thailand when I first came in 2011 was how the Thais are quite family orientated and how the small communities supported each other. It was very refreshing. The following year I met my wife. What a breath of fresh air she is compared to the plasticized women of my home country. I had been single for the previous 25 years before meeting her on Phi Phi and I had no intention of ever marrying again after a short marriage in the late 70's. Initially we opened a small pub & restaurant with 3 upstairs rooms to let on Koh Lanta. We married the following year. At this point in time we were travelling back and forth every 6 months for 6 months while I worked and then we returned to run the bar again for 6 months. She ran that for 5 years and we employed several family members who were not working at the time and left them there to look after things while we were away. She grew tired of the long hours at the pub ( and maybe me having too much fun ...lol...kidding I hope ) and let me know that she had always dreamt of having her own farm back in her home village. After hearing this 3 times over the following month I took it more seriously. We decided to reinvest in some land. The following year, 2019, we were free to start work on the farm. Wy wife's Mom was not feeling well so we came over to see her for the month of December. Mom was not doing well so my wife stayed to look after her and I returned back to work. Then Covid hit. Mom passed that summer, which meant no one was there to help my wife's sister, who is wheel chair bound. So the next 2 years were spent building the house, employing her brothers, sons, nephews and others who were now out of work in Bangkok and had returned back to the village ( Population 200 ). Me staying and working due to the travelling restrictions and then crazy quarantine requirements afterwards. In the winter of '22, once the house was completed, I decided only to work part time, and remotely, and finally came back over to see the house. They did a fantastic job and I was more than pleased. One thing led to another and we soon had a houseful. They say you marry the family along with your wife. I guess it's true. So, as a family, we are building up the farm so that the children will have something to work on when in the event that I may pass, doubtful but probable....lol. I'm proud of my last life project and wouldn't change a thing. Never been much of a "class" type guy, but I believe we live much better than a lot of our neighbors who depend on rice and rubber harvests. We always seem to manage, eat well and not wanting much for anything, although a few more beers per month wouldn't hurt. -

Trump got caught
Why should I? The insults leveled at me by you lot are so boring and predictable. I'll start worrying when you guys can post irrefutable facts, and expand your vocabularies past 500 words.
