I would imagine the numbers from the UK are lower than anticipated as Thailand still remains on the UK's RED list.

Anutin is a complete and utter waste of space in his current position and should be replaced IMHO

Theerawat told police that it was raining while he was driving on the northbound lane of the road. He overtook another pickup truck, a manoeuvre that saw him lose control of the ice delivery truck he was driving

One of the problems with these so called ice-trucks is they get overloaded, they seem to forget or not realise that water (or frozen water in this case) is heavy, you see it every day with overloaded trucks such as these or motorbike with sidecars heavily overloaded and difficult to control.

They still do not get it

Unfortunately, what Thailand is not addressing is freedom for holiday makers with respect to socialising, free movement, restaurants where people can enjoy a bottle of wine with their meal and bars with entertainment such as live music and where they are able to have a beer or two. 

The pickup truck driver, Mr. Nantaset Summart, 32, told the associated Thai press, “I was driving normally, under the speed limit. However, I suddenly crashed into the back of the container truck, it appeared out of nowhere and I didn’t see it due to the road being unusually dark. The accident wasn’t my fault.”

One has to smile at the excuse ????????????

Brake failure!

Brain failure more like ...............LOL - Probably too busy on the phone

Reading the attached article it appears the police have already decided who is the guilty party even though one car was rammed from behind - No prizes for guessing who the guilty party is ...............

This is such a stupid rule and I for one hope Thailand pay the price in full for continuing to implement it. All prospective tourists should be made well aware of this ban among all the other ridiculous hoops & hidden costs they will have to endure so they can choose where they would really like to go to ENJOY their hard earned holiday

Seriously why are they even bothering with this nonsense over Phuket

They need to grasp in very short order that no foreign tourists will come whilst extensive restrictions are in place

 

Ignore that everything is virtually shut anyway Thailand needs to fully understand that 99% of tourists are not coming until they can arrive at Suvarnabhumbi with just a Covid Certificate, Passport and a smile

 

Until that happens Thailands tourist industry doesn't exist

All perfectly correct, in addition, people need to be able to go out and enjoy themselves which in turn means travelling, eating & drinking without restrictions

Meanwhile Phangnga operators want the government to step in after concerns that foreigners were being charged 8,000 baht and Thais 500 baht for tests. This was creating further aggravation and hindering efforts to get the diving business off the ground.

Dual pricing is endemic in Thailand and has been as long as I can remember, the only reason being GREED !!!

He said that he had received complaints from tourists that not only could they not move around as promised but it was ridiculous that they could not get a beer or a glass of wine. 

This is the information that needs to be reported in foreign countries and not the bull TAT are spinning..!!

A leading restaurateur who met health minister and DPM Anutin Charnvirakul recently said they were told that once they were allowed to open again there was no going back to lockdown restrictions.

If his lips were moving "Be very afraid" ..........................LOL
