There should be a song called "Sakon Nakhon Dreaming"
Changes in the wind
The Greek-Euro situation most likely will have a ripple effect on Thailand.
Similarly the Chinese financial situation most likely will create further problems for Thai tourism and exports.
While devaluation of the Thai Baht may be helpful to tourism and exports, it's detrimental to the Thai stock market. It could send investors fleeing.

Getting Smaller
GoPro reveals new Hero4 Session mini action cam - BBC News
Unless you are doing some undercover work, tiny cameras are really not that enticing.
The camera I have now is already a bit cumbersome. I have to push the memory card in with my fingernails, and frequently miss.
Then there is the GoPro price $363 (£233) (฿11,616).
There are other brand names with similar quality and features costing ฿1,550 to ฿3,500
The camera has great resolution. The average user will find the camera handy as a dashboard camera while driving. In some sports it comes in handy as a helmet cam.
Forget mounting the camera on an airborne device, that's been outlawed in Thailand.
For the average user, the smartphone is just as good, with additional features these tiny cameras don't have.
