I find the weather much too hot in March and especially April. I like the Loei Khratong Festival much better. Over the Christmas holidays though i found too many tourists around and prefer to holiday in between the festival times to be more enjoyable. When I was in my 30s I did experience a Songkran festival in Pattaya and it was wild and dangerous.

I took a tour with my Thai family and seen Rawai beach. It was totally developed and we enjoyed a nice dinner there then went back to Phuket city to a guest house for our stay. I am glad that we had a Thai friend drive us around in his 10 passenger Toyota van and he was a cautious driver who did not swerve all over the place and our drive back to Bangkok was enjoyable as well. We stopped into a few places where the restaurant food was great. I still like visiting Thailand and being with my Thai family makes the stay very enjoyable as I have them shop for me and have not been ripped off for my last 4 trips. Rock On Thiland.

Did America elect Trump to be a dictator? I do hope that the rest of the government system in the USA can tell him to back off. Is congress and the other departments of the government so weak that Trump can do what ever he wants? Just wondering.

This guy did drugs and died. It does not matter what his career was, as now he is dead.

Hamas is a terroriost group. It has no business being in Gaza and needs to give up its hostages and prisoners. If the Palestine people want to keep Hamas as their leadership, well say good bye to Gaza. In My Opinion.

I hope Trump loses his support and becomes a minority government soon. His support group do not impress me either. Maybe a croc will have him for lunch.

I hope this will be a wake up call to build better, but I fear that corruption is so strong in Thailand and Asia that this will not be the last building to collapse. Good Luck to the people who have to work in these high rise sky scrapers.

Trump and JP Vance will go down in history ad the 2 worst leaders for the USA. A recession is coming to the USAand a lot of the world, I hope Trump and his followers are happy now.

I think this German needs a big fine, jail time then deportation and banned 10 years for sure. I hate thieves.

Remember that it is April, one of the hotte4st months in Thailand, the Winter high season is over folks. Only the expats and retired people around the world travel when schools are also back in session. TAT will not do any reminder of these facts for you, either.

I am just so happy that I am not a Thai person that has to work in any highrise office tower in Bangkok or anywhere in Thailand in a high rise building. My one relative ran 15 floors to get out of her building after she felt the quake. She is working from home now for a while. i hope the building inspectors do a good job looking at her offrice tower. I wish all Thais good luck.

All of the world leaders have to treat Donald Trump like a pariah. This guy deserves no respect from anyone after this unnecessary tariff fiasco. His VP does not need any respect either, same goes for Elon Musk, in My Opinion.

I am glad that got back to earth okay. I am glad that Spaxe X is doing okay with its programs. I thought that there are 2 space vehicle at the ISS that in an emergency can used to return the Astronauts or Cosmonauts to earth. With all of Trumps lies, i cannot see many people believing his version of this story. In My opinion anyway

I used to ride my Honda 125CC bike around the Hua Hin area, and every year I see less and less helmets being worn by Thai and Forein riders. I have not sympathy when I read of someone crashing and getting killed, because they did not wear a helmet. My Thai relatives in Bangkok all wear helmets when they take a motorcycle ride in the city. They know that their chances are better, and they can always comb their hair when they are not on the bikes. Good Luck in Thailand, and keep yourself medically insured when you are in the country, it is not cheap to be in a private hospital when you wake up after your crash.

Wow, seven whole day for the investigation? Well I hpe the authorities get a good look at those documents the Chinese fuys were caught hauling away from the area.
