  1. Yet last week there was an article claiming Thailand as the safest country in the world!
  2. As most places in Thailand are not even geared up for contactless card payments I can't see this initiative being too successful.
  3. Have you ever flown Ryanair, Easyjet or any budget carrier in Europe? They are much worse than the Asian equivalents. In fact many major airlines are also following this model now.
  4. Soi 3 to Soi 39;is nowhere near 5 km, though it might seem it when stuck in traffic!
  5. If you try and insurance scam you should read the policy. No way would this be covered!
  6. I don't believe this story...yesterday I read that Thailand was the safest country in the world for tourists😕
  7. The exact numbers always amuse me with their projections. Anywhere else they'd say approximately 200,000 tourists generating close to 3 billion baht. But, of course, the TAT calculator is famous for its magical figures!
  8. The hyperbole in that article almost makes me want to vomit.
  9. Didn't they announce new alcohol control laws earlier in the week? Now here's a second batch. Why not do it all in one go?
  10. But remember only to buy if you've encountered a two headed snake, survived an horrendous car crash or a fortune teller has told you you're due for some good luck!
  11. I really don't believe that the number of pedestrian deaths is as low as 500 per year, considering the overall death toll on the roads is close to 20,000.
  12. This is no surprise. Had they properly controlled the number of shops opening and enforced the laws regarding public smoking from the start, this might not have happened. I still have no idea how most of these shops made any money as they were mainly devoid of customers.
  13. Great initiative from TAT. I wonder why it hasn't been thought of before😁. They need to look at the products offered elsewhere: beaches with pedestrianised promenades toilets and showers, no noisy jetskis, parasailers etc, no dogs roaming, no pot smokers. It makes for a far better beach experience.
  14. They only ever state how the THB is faring against the USD, a currency that is less relevant now than it's been in years. What's the forecast against the Euro, CNY and other major world currencies?
  15. They've recently introduced an ETA. Isn't this process supposed to screen for undesirables?
