    Skirmishes along borders is just like two siblings having a go at each other once a while to let off steam not to annihilate one another .they want to maintain the status quo.

    Government hospitals are there as affordable treatment for Thais only not foreigners or tourists. . Thailand is not ultruistic in nature. If you cannot afford living in Thailand and not brining in the money, then Thailand is not for you.

    I think Thai prices are subsidized by the government to make the volume while foreigners top up. This is to keep the place running without running at a loss and close down.

    Looks like he is just giving a hypothesis that guys with tattoos are more liable to commit crimes than those who without.

    The architecture of the old temples were untouched. They just replaced the Hindu deities with Buddhist one and used them as Buddhist temples. I have seen these too in Cambodia not only in Thailand.

    He was showing off to his friend behind who is using mobile phone to videotaping him.

    ‘Officials emphasised that while Thailand welcomes visitors from all nations, those who stay in the country must respect its laws, regulations and public expectations’ public expectations are that tourists spend their holidays supporting local businesses not begging which is also a prohibited profession for Thais only.

    Whether in criminal or political dramas, follow the money.

    Guest must have gotten on the wrong foot with resort owner. No more payment maybe? Thais are known to be ‘benevolent and turn a blind eye to any infringement of laws.

    You do that, he will definitely bring that axe down onto your boot or worse the rear windscreen. Not a good exchange of event. Just speed off to avoid that imbecile.

    Good enough for tourists to take ig photos but ,definitely for those in the know, not a copy of the infamous Angkor wat. But then for those Cambodians that claimed otherwise, well you can’t cure stupid.

    Exceptions for humanitarian needs, such as urgent medical care, student education, and essential daily life activities. I think Thai authorities allow goods and services to cross border on foot but not vehicles.

    I remembered last year my Korean friend and wife wanting to visit Damnoen Saduak market even though they knew it is a tourist trap. They were on holiday so this is one item from their bucket list. My missus, a long term resident fluent in Thai,negotiated with the boatman on my behalf and managed to lower the price substantially. It is what it is.

    If relevant authorities sleep on the job and let this trend continue, Thai people are just killing their golden goose. Short term profit cannibalising long term growth. a short sighted business strategy.
