Starting with a retrospective on Thai Trains, there’s Kim’s road trip across Southern Thailand, a local success story from Yacht Style and plenty of racing and driving information in our motoring section. Finally, air travel news with a report that China is easing restrictions for International Covid flight suspensions. For those not wishing to travel too far, there’s a world of fun to be had with a visit to the Goodlife Health and Entertainment Complex just outside Pattaya city centre, and a report from the capital with the glamorous Dot Property review. gloria@patttayatrader.comGloriaEnjoy!
