Thailand news – Move Forward Party leader, Pita Limjareonrat, is starting a long goodbye as he acknowledges the Constitutional Court is likely to dissolve his party, Chinese Tourists, by far, lead the way, for foreign tourist arrivals in 2024. A big bike gang has been doing more than just riding around northern Thailand.
A British Man has ended up empaled on his fence after a night of drinking, the Thai PM visited Samui on the weekend promising a new cruise ship terminal, hot weather and summer storms are promised for the country this week, and China Mai has done it again – Number One in the world for the city with the worst pollution.
Here’s Jett’s video about Chiang Mai’s smoke and haze…

Definitely no democracy in thailand. So how will they replace the move forward partys massive number of seats when they are gone.
The greatest teacher,failure is.
Keep trolling Kev on the air quality reports. Hilarious!
According to the Chiang Mai Governor there is no problem with pollution in Chiang Mai. Seriously. An article over the weekend, he was saying something like it isn't always bad, just some of the time..
thought it was only the Swiss who sit on the fence?
I like the conclusion on the fence climber 😉
So Pita can not become the new Prime Minister ?
Wonder if the Thai police know the entire trucking and bus industry is high on meth. They work and drive 24 hours straight often
Democrasy , elected by the ppl but refused by the elite, tells it all.
Thx Tim.
Was in ChiangMai in Jan. We like it, but my ESAN girl will prefers Surin.
No shirt 😱🥺😭. +1
I've never been to Samui but something tells me I need to visit before these new port facilities are built. The island will not be the same once those floating megastructures, (cruise ships) start arriving.
As an over-70 foreigner who attempted to retire in Thailand, look to Alliance which is an excellent German insurance company. Alliance has excellent ratings but the Thai government would not recognize them as a provider of health insurance, pre-2019. Hopefully that will change.
Thanks KEV for the weather report from the north, the highest readings in air pollution 🤣😂🤣
I was on Rarotonga in the Cook Islands when a cruise ship called in,what a shambles.Brings in revenue but most of the locals didnt like it either.
Thumbs up 👍 Tim…..
Pita- I wish America could get rid of the winning political party this easy
Now I want a Falafel 🥙
Really appreciate the shoutout. Was my attempt at giving some factual and well-rounded context for the issue. Thank you as well for keeping us up to date.
Jett is a great man I had to do a transaction whit him whit my elite visa and was very well served very professional
