Thailand shoud kick off all russians and ban new entries of russians.

I got my Moderna vaccination free - Switzerland, not Thailand.  Lousy government in Thailand.

It is obvious that the level of English knowledge in Thailand is very low. Even Thais who try to teach English have only very basic knowledge as I have seen. So why not give permits to foreigners with English mothertongue or teaching skills? It would improve the level of English knowledge in Thailand, a benefit for the country.

Everyone knows that conditions in Thai jails are beyound of what is acceptable under international standards for prisoners. Just look at Bangkok Hilton on youtube or consult humanrights.com. A 5-year penalty in a Thai jail is a death penalty, miserable food is just part of it.

Thailand's image cannot be damaged anymore. It is already at the bottom of reputation with this "government".

In Chanthaburi it is most common to bring wine or liquor to a restaurant.

I don't know if there is a corkage charge for glasses and ice - I leave the "auditing" of the bill to my wife and Thai friends.

You have to pay for the ice, sometimes overcharged. Mostly 10 Baht per cup. I never came across a corkage charge in Thailand, I spent a lot of time there. If so, I would not have paid it and would have left the restaurant.

For goodness sake. Taking outside alcohol into a restaurant anywhere in the world is a no no unless you ask for permission.

It seems you don't know well the world. In many countries, even in Thailand, I never had a problem to bring my own drinks. If I want to drink Chang beer and they have Singha and Leo only, then this is absolutely normal, I never had a problem. Even in Australia there is BYO, bring your own. Because many restaurants don't have the alcohol licence.

Absolutely ridiculous. How can a destination without tourists be a tourist destination? The destination may be safe, but without tourists it is not a tourist destination. And remember, there is no safe destination in Thailand, just look at the road carnage.

Europe and USA for sure not, they are still high risk areas and this probably will not change until we have a vaccine

USA and Brazil surly not. Russia also not.

You seem not to know the situation of Corona in Europe. Some countries have little infection rates and little mortalities. Exceptions are Italy, Spain and GB and Sweden.

Who makes holiday on the murder island?

didn't know it was illegal to make porn movies

In Western countries and in Russia it is not illegal. But Thailand is more catholic then the pope.

Another example of Thai racism

Traffic in Thailand is among the deadlist in the world. Each day 71 people die on Thai roads. The point system will not change much, because half of the drivers have no licence. Even if enforced. Corruption still exists also with the point system. So little or nothing will change.

The grounding of Thai Airways is just a matter of time. 2 years, 3 years? I boycott them since I did not get refund for my damaged bag in 2012. Without government money the grounding would have happened already.

Simply disgusting. Corruption reigns this country.

To ride a big bike in Thailand is very near to suicide, due to low driving skills of Thais and the chaotic beheavior on the road. I drive big bikes in Europe since 48 years and I make about 30'000 km per year. But in Thailand i drive just a small scooter for shopping or sightseeing.

Another racist fart of the Thai Police. How many Thais are driving without a licence? It seems to be the majority when I look at the driving of Thais.

The Thai flags are holy, but they not feed the people. Time for the Thais to arrive in 21st century.

Real bullshit. For me Thailand is the most boring country of all SE Asia. Even the food is boring, Malaysia and Indonesia offer much better food. Big bureaucracy for immigrants, much too much police, and everywhere. In Malaysia you get a stamp in the passport, you can stay 3 months, that's it. The only bad thing in Malaysia is, that beer is too expensive.

Indonesia is also very good once you not go to tourist ghettos like Bali. Excellent food.

Vietnam has good food, beautiful landscapes and women and cheep beer and is safer then Thailand.

Now 2 death islands. Ko Tao and Ko Si Chang. Good advertising for Thailand. TAT will certainly love it.
