Many international, English-language boards have disappeared in recent years. They had a good time about 15 to 18 years;
from the mid 90s to about 2012, 2015. Many hundreds, even thousands of members, many contributions, very lively.
The reason they died:
They lacked offspring. The later-born male cohorts did not make it onto the boards.
I suspect very strongly: their income, their money was no longer sufficient to come to LOS and enjoy the Sanuk.
Twenty-seven, thirty years ago, you needed about $100 to buy a day of Sanuk. Today you need about 250 to 280 Dollars.
Income in the West has not improved by these amounts.
I'll make it short in a few words:
* the stagnating or only very weakly growing wages and salaries in most Western countries
* the increase in prosperity in Siam with increased wages
* the strong Baht and the weak Western currencies Dollar, Pound, Euro.
