    Snowflakes of today are using their own context rather than the time context that the books were written. IMHO it is they who are wrong.

     

    You can overwrite history which is what they are trying to do, to sanitise history to their way of thinking, because they KNOW better than the people who lived the history at the time.

     

    What they cannot do and t really annoys them is to eradicate the parts of history that they don't like and replace it with the history that THEY like.

    They would not be who they are today, 'knowing' what they know without the past that got them there.

    cannot really fault TA at all here
    they must warn their users of the consequences of leaving a negative review
    especially when there is evidence they could face legal action from specific hotel owners or management, whilst on holiday or travelling
    most people are not generally clued up on many laws in the foreign countries they visit.

    the hotel in question did really shoot themselves in the foot on this occasion
    it will likely be a very costly lesson for them

    I think that to be fair, they should mention that this can happen anywhere in Thailand, not just this hotel.  People need to be aware and doing this would also soften the blow for this particular property. (IMHO)

  3. 15 pages. Some very interesting insights.  For example, one might think of wristwatches when reading page 7.  (Originally 1253).

    Note: I found some articles at this source were behind a paywall, but this one displayed okay.  (It did not 'download' but 'Print as PDF worked).  Hoping it works for you.

  4. My guess is that you want to use Borax.   It kills all kinds of insects.  When building it's a good idea to get a puffer bottle and dust the framing of the walls before closing them up, to prevent ants and termites.  Sealed up like that, it can last for years.
