  1. Unfortunately, trees are being totally cut down everywhere for the countless pseudo "villa" projects. Landslides often occur during heavy rain, especially on mountain slopes. Greed eats brains. Nothing is secured after such clear-cutting operations. Then you can often see that the sand is washed onto the roads and many motorcyclists then break their bones. But the builders don't want to take any responsibility. They leave their sand on the street for weeks/months. They don't have to be liable, so they don't care.
  2. Ok. Let's say they have special flight Promotions, offert in Thai language, which are aimed exclusively at Thai speakers. My Thai wife has already been able to book many such flights. Fact.
  3. Maybe you do not know. - Thai airways have special prices for Thais. - I am talking about Massage Parlours in Huai Kwang. There exist of course a foreigner sur charge.
  4. As a long-nosed foreigner, you pay twice to ten times as much, and not just in national parks. - All hospitals have special billing tables for foreigners with significantly higher prices. - Muay Thai stadiums - Tempels - Massage Parlors - Thai airways flight prices - Museums - a.s.o. Being able to take more money from white foreigners (that's where racial profiling begins in practice. Asian foreigners often get the Thai price) is a Thai national sport. Just think of the many taxi drivers and tuk tuk drivers with their scammer methods. Foreigners also pay more for grilled skewers or fruit at some street stalls. With their state-legalized dual-price system, the park operators are laying the foundation for rip-offs in other areas.
  5. Airasia have no costumer service. If there are problems it is almost impossible to talk to an employee. The Ai chat is garbage. If their “Move” website has been hacked, airasia should kindly compensate its customers. When it comes to compensation or refunds, Airasia has its pockets sewn shut. They are simply betting that customers will give up asserting their claims. The fact that when booking on their Move page, all extras such as insurance and extra luggage are automatically booked, even though you don't want them and you then have to laboriously deselect them, shows their bad company philosophy.
  6. For decades there have been heavy rains, storms and high waves in the area around Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao in November and December. Now that's not that unusual.
  7. Just send all of your highly sensitive data to an email address? In response to a non-personally addressed serial email? No way.
  8. Looks like a scam. If it is really aimed at customers, the personal name should be included first. In other forums there is also discussion about the authenticity of this spam email. Let's see what KBank will publish about it in the next few days.
  9. Yes. And some are very loud, especially when they are in groups.
  10. Maybe my expectations are too high. I have had a Pink ID card since 20 years (the number of which probably also serves as my tax number) and have always reported the same home address every 3 months since 20 years. If the Thai tax authorities want something from me, they should take the trouble to inform me accordingly. It can't be that hard.
  11. What is that? An advertisement for a tax consulting office? If a tax authority wants something from me, they should write to me with an official letter and send me the forms. As long as nothing comes to me through official channels, I won't do anything. In my case, I already know that I don't have to pay income tax in Thailand. This saves me and the tax office unnecessary time and effort in filling out their forms. And Why should a pig voluntarily go to the slaughterhouse and ask stupid questions?
  12. What and how much is on a hospital bill in Thailand is a predominantly unregulated market. If you don't have a Thai health insurance (which usually has a cost/service agreement with certain hospitals) you are at the mercy of these hyenas. Unless you are a seriously injured accident victim, you should obtain price comparisons and written cost estimates before seeking medical help. The cost differences can be up to 1000% for an identical medical service. Thai hospital costs are not anymore about the medical ethos, but just about getting the maximum money out of a patient, especially if you are a supposedly rich foreigner.
  13. It's a shame that there is no information about data security and data storage duration in the article. Unfortunately, the sensitive handling of personal data is quite underdeveloped here.
  14. I also wonder how they got their work permits. In Bangkok in the MBK shopping center on the ground floor, almost all of the sellers in the handbag, shoe and clothing stores who sell the counterfeit branded goods are 100% non-Thai. The same applies on the 4th floor with all the little cell phone sellers' shops.
