  1. Here's hoping! The business travellers will be royally pissed off. (Pun intended!)
  2. Good points again. In Cambodia, my guide told me that the local economy gains nothing from all the Chinese tourists, who fly on Chinese Airlines, travel on Chinese buses, and stay and eat in Chinese hotels. See discussion in other thread.
  3. Quite right. Chinese are already slowly encroaching into Thailand, and will certainly not give up. If necessary, thick, and thicker, brown envelopes will be deployed. Thailand is a much bigger, and more developed, economy than Lao or Cambodia, and was not devastated by civil war, but that makes it an attractive target for China.itonicallybtge various laws that are seen to bexanti farang, are a useful buffer. However, they may not be enough.
  4. I saw that. Really weird. However it is still there, it seems, and i hope, for the elderly, into which group I fall!
  5. Indeed. Weird to think otherwise. Perhaps thaiophilus should read the message again.
  6. It's still very common here in UK. Friends were in bed for a couple of days. And very tired after. For some time. They had 5 jabs. Of course antibiotics don't work, surely one thing everyone knows, is that Covid is a virus.
  7. To be fair, he is citing a continent, not a single country....
  8. The last comment may be a banality, but it is often so!
  9. Hmm, looks like a way out! After a decent interval, the charges can be discreetly dropped. Still at least he expressed regret, more than the Red Bull guy!
  10. I wonder. I hope you are right, but I don't think that the army, or he who can't be named, are influenced by academics. Still I read that General Prawit may be in a spot of bother with his party, so perhaps there is some hope!
  11. That's quite high. Were they all top, or were some vers?
  12. All fine, but, unfortunately, those in control 'don't give a damn', as Rhett Butler famously said.
  13. Yes, indeed, one might even shoot you!
  14. To people like that, with their connections, I fear it is a shrugging matter.
  15. I suppose it's easier than Smith!
  16. Glad to see that S7 has had to ground 40 planes, due to safety issues.
  17. Whatever happens, it's better than the UK!
  18. Rather too many clothes!
  19. Bearing in mind the Western embargo on spares, etc, these flights might be interesting!
  20. Never a dull moment!
  21. Still 30% or so higher than UK, if you have paid National insurance for 40 years!
  22. Sorry to be inquisitive, but how, and why, did you choose that log on name?
