Sadly, two week tourists are blissfully unaware of any of this......it will have zero impact on tourism......if it did, they might do something about it.

Lot of tourists, both local and inter, cancelled their trips to Chiang Mai this year due to the smog, so it does have an impact on tourism. Problem is that very powerful companies earn from the pollution and are also making a lot of donations to the people in charge (all the way to the top if you know what I mean).

Umm, I think if a government declares a war it would be "legal", but there are certainly rules about how they are fought and bombing hospitals and schools etc are war crimes, as is intentionally targeting civilians.

A war is between 2 countries and Im pretty sure that the invaded country doesnt consider a war as legal.

You are trying to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, hence the Putin comparison. Try to educate yourself a bit on what's going on in Gaza, rather than believing everything Fox News wants you to.

Not truth, just perception. The way you see Thailand and the Thai people is different than how I see it. 

 

A lot of foreigners, especially those at the lower end of the social-economic spectrum will turn each topic in a them-versus-us discussion. Quite sad actually.

I was planning to take my dad on a holiday to Mae Kampong, Lampang and Nan the week after Songkran until I remembered about the burning. There's no point going to my planned places unless the sky is clear. Gonna have to figure out something to do in the south instead. My trip was for 3 people, spending would have been about 60,000 baht going to the local economy. Imagine how much money they are losing due to this when you increase the numbers. 

Same here, I strongly advise my friends and family members NOT to travel to Thailand from November till May because of the smog. Exception for the south of course. Thailand wants millions of tourists but doesnt care about these serious health issues. As someone already noticed, the solution is easy. Stop agricultural burning.

There is a clear lack of understanding of pedophiles in this message board.

 

It is perfectly legal to be diagnosed as a pedophile by a psychiatrist to whom you have revealed  your paedophilic fantasies about sex with prepubescent children. 

 

It becomes illegal when a pedophile acts on his fantasies eg when he looks a child porn or attacks a prepubescent person. 

 

But I stand by my charge that a n umber of gays are active pedophiles. If people find it offensive fine. 

 

Very offensive, almost ridiculous,  and a clear sign of homophobia caused by either ignorance, religious ignorance or a form of latent homosexuality.

You are the reason these Pride parades are necessary.
