It seems TAT and Government officials have a financial stake in bars and nightclubs. What " tourists " are they pandering to who need to drink until 4 am ?

How many people who go to night clubs until 4 am are quality tourists who will contribute to the over all economy ? Not many.

The story is already reaching Western News Outlets. Word of Mouth will do the rest. Get too greedy and the hand of Karma will smack you down.

And, of course , they will be given Hotel Discounts under the " Dual Pricing " scam ( errrr....scheme ).

Thailand wants to kill the goose that lays the Golden Egg. Foot Massages @ 1,000 baht will not help bring in tourists. Nor will noodle dishes at 100 baht.

This has NOTHING to do with incompetency and, the Accountability lies with the electric company. Obviously the writer is incompetent to assess what happened by pre judging the motorcycle rider, regardless the age.

Weed is NOT what causes drivers to speed. Try Meth or alcohol. We all know the dangers of cyclists and pedestrians here in LOS. It will never change until the Powers that Be take it seriously.

Cod hasn't a clue. A foreigner living in Thailand for 30 years with wife and University educated children and grand children will always be a farang. - in other words, Outsider. Why use the word at all ?

I see a quick name change coming - Prinn Papitchpakdi will become Nok Petchaburi , and Life will continue on as normal.

I hope Thai immigration understands that Russians have a home to go back to. Ukrainians most likely Not.

To Do NOTHING when Atrocities are being committed on Innocent People makes you complicit. Being " Neutral " is nothing but a spineless Cop Out .

But what about the Burmese refugees escaping a Brutal Regime next door ? Any help for them ?

Exactly and Sadly so. The Russian massacre is headlined as...Tourism in trouble for Thailand. Wow !!! As for Xi Jinping, he now has Myanmar and will just wait for the right time to nibble away at LOS. A high speed train here, a Seaport there....it's all in the works.

Karma for Thailand.

If part of the 300 baht goes to tourist insurance, than I suppose the Insurance Entry requirement of $100,000 coverage is no longer applicable. Oh, I forgot, TIT : ))p

After 50 years of being with Western women, I found my soul mate in a Thai lady. Sure, not all Thais have Your best interest at heart, but the ones that do are keepers. Western women are way too materialistic. Thais seem to appreciate the little things more.

If they left on February 6th, they would already be in custody today. But no news of that. Hmmmm ??

So this means tourists now don't need to show proof of insurance after April ? 555555. Let me sell you a bridge.

No one seems to mention WHICH vaccines those are ? Thailand administers Pfizer and Astra Zeneca, but does it also include Sinovac that Europe will accept ?

Probably owned and operated by the Red Bull Heir.

Giving the shaft to the thousands of expats who are raising Thai families here including children from previous Thai husbands seems to count for nothing. The rich will quickly see that bringing money INTO Thailand is Easy. Taking it OUT, good luck with that. They will go elsewhere.

Will immigration be able to handle the huge influx ?

The huge fatality stats should Also be placed on motorcycle drivers. 30% have NO working tail lights. China is allowed to sell bikes with NO mirrors,. And then there is the macho factor.

Not to worry, this will change again by the weekend.

In the meantime, never mind about the Red Bull murderer. 10+ years and they STILL haven't caught him. Oh yeah...brown envelops, the language of LOS.
