Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
Ok. I am wrong.

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
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.

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
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.

Grounded: Thai AirAsia denies ticket fraud, blames airline app
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.

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
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.

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
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.

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
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?

Thailand’s Medical Insurance Rules Confuse Tourists
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.

Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
The zero dollar tours bring almost no tax revenue for the Thai state nor any relevant sales for the domestic Thai tourism businesses. The trips are booked in China and fully paid there. Hotel rooms, restaurant visits, bus transfers and shopping stops are only booked in Chinese-controlled companies. From an accounting perspective, it is now possible for the service invoices from Chinese-controlled companies to only be issued in the amount of the actual costs, so that no taxable profits arise within Thailand. The profits then remain entirely in China. With this type of mass tourism, Thailand only loses because the infrastructure has to be paid for and a lot of nature get destroyed. The Thai Tourism Authority must learn that simply increasing the number of visitors does not necessarily lead to higher revenues if all the direct and indirect costs to the Thai ecosystem are taken into account.

Newin Rejects Thaksin's Casino Plan for Thailand
Thailand is not even able to organize its state lottery with uniform ticket prices. On the other hand, the serious and responsible operation of a casino under state control is much more complex. I doubt that the profits of a state casino will really benefit the general public. There will be only a few VIPs who like to fill their own pockets.
