Much Higher Traffic Fines in Effect from Sept 5
bristolgeoff replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Increase the fines will have some affect,but overall nothing will change.Driving is always a risk in thailand,paying the fines or the accidents -
The bigger clubs,the one in the middle are always busy with farang and thais in the high season.close round 4 am.If they was a fire i know the entrance is very big and people would get out quickly,they would not hang around.safety important of course but I think the club or owner knows this and provides for this other wise many clubs would not be operating sucessfully

After 8 yrs thing go up so fares will rise,understand that.Grab have a lot of customers or cars and take away from the taxis.The skytrain has the customers too,plus the motorbike taxi,s .The only thing is the taxis will still run the cars with the meter off or say no meter.A tip is always expected more from the farang than thais.So if you use taxis in bkk you should know the rules,overall if you need transport,the fares are reasonable which ever u chose. when i return jan i will use a motor taxi to find seiko house being they before,but the bike is quick and easy.I will ask the price but a fair price from them,could be return or 1 way.I expect a price maybe of 100 to 200 baht.That is want I expect to pay and jan I will know.The only thing is the motorbike is not for everyone to use as a taxi.

Thailand 300 baht entry fee for tourists set to start in early 2023
bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I Know and remember the 500 baht tax machine at the airport before u left or thru customs.Later included in the ticket departure.I thought that included something towards insurance tax or health insurance.The 300 baht extra which they say is for a hospital fund for tourist will be a big earner when tourist return.Don,t know if right but most people do have travel insurance,some don,t of course the reason for begging on go fund me. Most tourist will see it as a increase in arrival tax and they is not much anyone can do. -
Thailand grapples with allowing more Chinese landowners
bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I know to own land or property in thailand very strict rules.Thai ownership is 51 percent i believe.the rest is the farang.From what i hear in australia they have brought up lots of land for milk etc and now it all goes back to china.What i have read not everyone is very happy about this.So thailand must be careful too.Cambodia sold they soul down sth for big hotels casino,s now,private beaches where before public and very nice to visit.Lots of chinese just staying in the hotel gambling and whatever else.So just be careful in opening the gates for chinese and buying land,just think if some of the islands were sold and then you see a complete chinese resort with hotels and casino,s. not what the tourist trade or thais really want.but a few thais will be rich it for it -

Where does Bangkok figure on the Asian pollution index?
bristolgeoff replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I thought cnx would be higher as the burning season is not good for clean air. People wear a mask during that time as well -
This will always have support,save the thais travelling to the borders and gamble there.To set it up just look at other countries and those companies involved would love to be in the first stages.malaysian companies or chinese will be the first to knock on they door. Should have happened yrs ago for thailand as their neighbours have allready cashed in on that market

Oh dear he will be up for alot of baht to the family.Whether they all had helmets and 4 on the bike is illegal or no license.All his fault,if you were not in thailand this would not happen.You may as well say u lose everything now.My friend had a bike accident he admitted his fault,he paid everything to fix the bike even if it was not caused by the accident.Would have being cheaper to buy a new scooter for her in his words.Another time a drunk thai hit the pick up,farang husband thai wife.Police said not your fault don,t worry,they found my friends address.everyday come round to say u killed my father or husband.In the end the thai wife said pay them the money £1000 pound and they left them alone.He is now in a no win situation over this
