Well we are told cigarettes cause cancer and people still smoke.

So they will still keep eating that dish.

Indeed. But we are told that Thailand has lovely, tasteful and cheap food; which is (another) bug lie. I am convinced that most of Thai food are at least as dangerous for health as cigarettes. Mango, pineapples, fish, meat, just name it.

There is no law or control of usage of pesticides and chemicals in Thailand. Most of chemicals and pesticides used in Thailand are banned for decades in EU/US... You know how innocent and/or greedy people are... Enjoy your THB 10 fruits you buy in the streets, enjoy your cheap and tasty Tom Yam Kung...

Food safety is a major concern all over the World; but in Thailand it is a major threat and cause of cancer, simply because of the usual corruption + no control + no transparency + mai pen rai attitude.

Not only liver cancer unfortunately. These small fishes are all heavily infected by all the highly dangerous chemicals and pesticides used to grow rice, I would like to remind here that in Thailand, there is NO law (and even less enforcement) about usage of dangerous chemicals and pesticides. Most of the chemicals and pesticides used here are banned for decades in EU/US... And this is also valid for fruits, vegetables, shrimps.

Simple question: why there is a local and an export quality for all products. Most of the local quality products would pass any health and safety check in EU/US. Enjoy the cheap mango and pineapple you buy in the street... Look no further if you want to understand why cases of cancer sky rocket in Thailand.

Not only cigarettes kill...

On the positive side, to be fair, NGV is one of the very few positive things I have seen developing in Thailand in the last decade.

I am wondering why NGV vehicles are not developing that fast in Europe.

But when I see that a bid is done in May for 489 vehicles - I am sure in total transparency, awarded in June and that the 489 vehicles will be ready within 90 days, I can only suspect another fishy tender process. Is that how the good General conduct business and fight corruption?

Besides the good idea (NGV buses), I am sure that the execution will be - as usual - disappointing. Probably very low quality buses that will work only a short period of time, no maintenance, no plan.

Thailand, the hub of fastest airport wifi speed in the World.

Well done guys, thank you for bringing back happiness.

Thailand, the hub of modern Slavery.

So much hypocrisy from Thailand... Thailand is at the center of Human trafficking and trades for decades. Not only with Rohingyas but also Burmese, Cambodian and Lao. I am referring to the modern slavery on Thai fishing boats. I am referring to the numerous manpower serving the construction and tourist industries in Thailand. Most are illegal workers traded by Thai companies and individuals with the complicity of corrupted officials. Rohingyas are just the tip of the iceberg... But for all the "farangs" they must have a proper visa or work permit or else they do not "respect" Thailand. What a joke, what a scam.

What about Thailand? They agree to continue to trade illegal immigrants and provide mass graves with the full cooperation of corrupted local authorities? Thailand, your ultra-nationalist selfish attitude is a disgrace. No wonder why Hitler is regularly adored in this country...

Ready for action.... What does it mean? Kind of warning for people who are on the list. Pay or we release the list.

Human traffickers closely linked to local politician mafia and corrupted Thai Police.

Quick, quick let's find some Burmese or Cambodian scapegoats

The only thing they will monitor is the money in their pocket and the number of bottles of whisky...

I bet that after the 7 days it will be back to normal. Business as usual. Let's get an update in 6 months. Take a picture now and in 6 months...

And when you start to understand that the whole country is like this... ALL about appearances... For everything... With a smile. Scary in fact.

No usual bashing here. Think seriously about it...

Thirsty Thai Scam Tourism

In Thailand this is not "Safety First" but "Cosmetics First"... By the way I thought that Prostitution was illegal in Thailand???

I think the post should read 'why do tv members come to Thailand". most tourists do not come to have sex with the girls/boys

You are probably Thai, trying to find an excuse not to see the reality... I bet that if you make a poll worldwide about the first word that comes into mind about Thailand, the result will "sex or entertainment". Make no mistake, do not be blind... That's also the main but hidden reason why Thailand is the best place for convention, exhibition, regional meetings etc...

For the rest, the Nature has been destroyed and going down the hill. Cheap and tasty food made with chemicals, pesticides. Welcome in TIT, enjoy! If the Government is a minimum serious about Quality Tourism, the first thing they should do is curbing the sex industry. But it will not happen, only smoke screens, BS and corruption.

Legal means owned by a Thai, illegal means owned by a Farang. Hey isn't it the definition of Thainess?

Koh Tao, the Island of Death

Is it only me, or is this guy losing it by the minute??

Why is he loosing it?

He is only concerned that more revenue comes in Thailand for the good of his country.

Even you, should be able to understand this.

Sure. We understand. Money First. Quality Tourists. Thailand the hub of happiness. Yes we understand.

Is it to replace the gone Russian tourists?!?!? o_O

Thailand, the hub of Indian weddings...
