'tropical fish market', or as it's more commonly known, the 'wet market'. 

The wet market in Chatujak is very clean The Thais have always paid close attention to it In China they simple do not care No cleaning NOTHING

I do not get it Other countries answering the virus closed down early in the week or last week What took Thailand so long?Oh yes The government

Yes it should be cancelled Why risk the virus from spreading Perfect breeding ground  Close  contact and lots of water

As they are allowed to transit through the country, why not let them dock here in the first place?

Thai thinking "illogical"

 And the Government will go back to a status quo because the problem for now is abated. The government has not backbone to solve this problem They will just pass it on year after year SO SAD

I am reading this story and it seems the government is blaming the private sector for the number or tourists coming.

The Thai baht plays little if anything on a travelers decision if it is within a 10% range The real reason is the smog No one

wants to go to a smog filled venue. Its time the government took strong action against smog by passing some serious legislation with regard to this issue. Otherwise the cleaner venues will win out big time Yes environment is a big issue with travelers 

 After all if they can ban plastic bags so fast then Smog should not be a real issue because it results in sickness and lost

productivity

Why don't you set up a panel to see how pollution can be improved. I just had a friend who said he was going to come to Bangkok I told him not to bother because the pollution is bad Maybe he will come someone next year and maybe not

Bottom line is this pollution is hurting tourism and people breathing Without clean air productivity drops

Sounds like a very fast confession by this ruthless killer only ever seams possible here ????

Ya well then took him to a "safe house" Somewhat of an oximoron

There was a dealer that just offered me 175,000 for my vios I listed here.

I am considering their offer

In the meantime if there is someone out there who is willing to go

176,000 Then I will sell it for that

Just text me

Average 5000km per year !! Wow

Ya not may km per year Runs the same as new

I want to sell my Vios I bought it new so know its history Never in an accident Good servicing

Low Km 56,000 mostly highway miles

I just don't drive much anymore so It just sits there

Price is 199,000

I have checked around This price is very very good for the km

Good condition

Interior is good Recovered seats 3 years ago with leather

New tires battery & alternator  White automatic J model 

Well I can with certainty say it was not a grouper that bit him. Other than a crazed lamprey  it must have been a shark

I have a great idea Start banning Diesel engines. Tell automakers first they cannot sell anymore diesel cars. Give the trucking industry 5 years to come up with a solution and implement it Tell the private sector they have 5 years to switch over to petrol or electric or face  ban within city limits

So true.   I watch as the Thai's have been increasingly more rude, some even arrogant.  The attitude of some of the Thai girls is, that their you know what doesn't stink, and every western farang wants them...

 

Then throw in that they openly ridicule us in Thai, think we are stupid, and can only think about how much money they can get from us...   I was in 7-11 last week when two very pretty, very sexy, European women walked in, and the Thai girls working there immediately started looking at each other giggling, making quiet comments in Thai.  After the two politely made their purchase, and walked out, the Thai girls started laughing out loud saying all kind of things in Thai.  The 7-11 is next to LK Royal Suite on Soi Buakhao.  The two European women quietly walked in, got what they wanted and left.

 

I think the Thai gov't and the Thai people have become so comfortable in thinking that we will always be here spending the most money, that they are seemingly willing to bite the hand that feeds them....

 

Yes, this is not all Thais, but then numbers just seem to keep growing..

 

Lets be honest, the Thai's have brought this upon themselves.

 

 

While  I agree with these three reasons I have to weigh in on this They have also scared away a lot of retirees and treated them badly 1000s have left and more will The shot themselves in the foot with this one  No foresight at all on it

You would need to setup a Thai Company, 2 million baht capitol, 4 Thai employees (pay tax and social security) etc. That company would employ you and get you a work permit.

Married visa allows you to work with a WP

Your wrong IF you are married to a Thai then you only need to Thai employees That is the law
