I miss here a general concept.It's not only the types of visas of importance, but also the labor and investment laws.The whole daily crackdown announcements looks more as profile attempts by some officials, as that which arises here thoughtful and sustainable.If persons with valid tourist visas (issued by embassies, consulates, honorary consulates) are rejected at the border,
this is very bad for the image and the whole process.If border officials assess the individual cases differently, confusion arises.Some officers simply require, depending on there daily mood, additional documents or evidence.
For example requirements for ED and Business visas.Many government schools upcountry simply do not report their foreign teachers.The whole work permit process seems too complicated.Exactly it is the same with the dive instructors/teachers.I know many who have packed their bags, because the uncertainty is very great,if they are allowed to enter again.Unlike a one-year work permit for Burmese workers appears to be not a problem(800 baht, residence card and finish).I hope in the future it will be more planned, pre-thought and organized (structure and process organization),
before a new crackdown announcement comes.The small “european family” high season is nearly over. Now come the quiet months of October and November to then,
hopefully the high season starts again in mid-December.Until then, however many bungalows, hotel rooms and houses for rent are empty,and many Thais make “long faces”. -
The scam has been running for years.They jet- ski- lenders like to take your passport as a deposit.They use it as leverage to enforce excessive damage claims.This is criminal and illegal.For driving a jet ski, it is also a driving license required.99% of all Jet Ski drivers have no driving license.They jet- ski- lenders do not care about this.This is simply illegal.All jet skis should have a damage insurance.They usually do not have such an insurance,and which insurance company would engage in such a damage oriented business?In addition to the noise, the danger to others in the water, the ecological mess, the smell of gasoline at the beach,
that's in the sum an illegal business without certificates, driving licenses and insurance.As long as here is not ensured an independent quality monitoring and an effective and independent customer protection,
they should just ban the jet skis.
The local police as mediation and monitoring center is not suitable here.
Many are still intertwined through friendship and family relationships with the jet ski lenders..It is the best not to hire a jet ski.I think the trouble : fun ratio is 1:10.15 minutes Jetski idioty is not worth it, to bring the whole holiday budget at risk.-

P.T. Barnum once said that "There's a sucker born every minute" You need to stay informed on all types of scams. Here is another good site providing information: http://www.antifraudnews.com/. Also: www.ripoffreport.com
Also http://www.419eater.com/ is good.
There are people out to scam these fraudsters.

How can the face of a murder ever looking good? -
Sentenced by the Criminal Court to five years in prison after finding conspirators of price collusion in a government project.1 year for illegal occupation of more than 1,000 rai of state land, … illegal trespassing, burning forest areas, constructing buildings.Evidence produced by the state attorney to the court was substantial enough to prove he was guilty.So six years together.Guess this fine member of parliament was not even one day in jail so far.

"At the same time, the number of foreign visitors could be about 25.5 million, a drop of 3.34 percent compared to the goal of 28 million."
Funny if i calculate this, it comes out something different.
(28 - 25,5) * 100
--------------------- = 8,93% drop from goal
28
Percentage calculation is hard.
Embarrassed for the author.-

I doubt the Thai European Business Association had much to say that was useful. They did nothing during the riots in Bangkok to pressure the Govenment and as usual it was left to us business owners to get on with it. I expect they had a nice lunch and smiled a lot. No action plan to speak about by the look of it to benefit foreign investors. Chalk it up as another successful meeting.
He is an army man.He understands the direct language.For not BOI investors it is very complicated here.For long-term growth, it is good to have a lot of small, innovative and creative companies. -
"The economists are right in noting that the scheme would be a first step in getting all Thais into the tax system. To be eligible for tax credit, everyone - street vendors, small farmers, motorcycle taxi drivers, etc - will need to file tax forms."
Wrong way.
It should first submit all tax reports - files - forms, which
have more then 100 rai land
or/and have more then 10 Million Baht in Accounts ( or stock exchange suitable securities)
or /and Income more than 3 million in a year after costs.
Think that would be more easy. -
10 billion baht for farmers.
Now another 6 billion baht to prop up the rubber price.
These guys are going to outspend the PTP before they even get their cabinet appointed.
I would not support this such.
Old gov. cash out in two years
1000 Billion for rice (where is this money?)
+ 350 Billion for flood - water - management (where is this money?)
Total 1.350 Billion / 24 = 56,25 Billion per month.
But the interest rates for the needy farmers are too high.

This has got to stop, absolutely ridiculous if it is 80 then its 80 baht. this guy wants sacking if it is his decision, there is ample rake off from the lottery takings to pay all a commission.
Potato crisps (LAY brand) marked on the packet at, example 30 baht. got 30 baht to give the shop keeper she said NO 40 baht because this is in the Udon Airport building---SO WHAT ?? Bali Hi pier Pattaya mini mart, 30 baht marked---sell at 40.
It should be illegal to do this whether it is lottery or goods.............another off topic but where the law is not applied when the police raid a place and grab 2 female prostitutes, as it is illegal in Thailand??. All these side winding things have to be seen to.
Go together with your thaifriends in a national park.
Then you know what a price range (spread) of 1000% is, ...... for the same good.
My Thai friends were clearly embarrassed.

The normal rate here on the islands is now 100-120 baht for a ticket.
If you buy 2 tickets you get a small discount.
It looks like that the price is different in Thailand. -
• No more "beer girls"Yes ok, no more,the 50.000 beer girls country wide are enough• Health warnings on all alcohol productsYes, Painters paint, thinners and paint strippers should be made as harmful and not drinkable identified.• No old bottles of wines or beer can be used to decorate a businessYes, it's a shame good, old (properly stored) wine only for decorative purposes to use. Old stale beer should be disposed and not being sold.• No happy hours promotionsYes, many advertise a happy hour, but charging inflated prices for drinksIt is better to have the whole evening happy prices than stingy 1-2 hours.• Promoting alcohol through word of mouth is also illegalYes, I know a few who can speak in swallowing.If you drink stop talking.• No alcohol logos are allowed on glasses, ashtrays and other paraphernaliaYes, I find the sight of sweating foreigners in dirty Chang, Singha and Leo underwear shirts/vests unbearable.
I feel only sorry for the craftsman who builds these little Tuk Tuk models from old beer cans.
Maybe they could create an exemption for him?• Punishments of up to six months in jail for various offencesYes, Punishment up to six months in jail for J.C., who made wine out of water.• All promotion of alcoholic consumption is illegalYes, no “chook dii” naa.-

Wonder when they gonna ban fun as a whole? This country is turning into a hyper-conservative, puritan, boring copy of a typical muslim country under Sharia law, but with a buddhist touch... Never felt as uneasy and tense here than over the past year. It looked great first when Suthep was stopped in his tracks, farmers got payed, mafia-alike structures were dismantled, etc. but then priorities changed to first attack the foreign tourism, foreign investment and expat sector, then a beach cleanup pushing thousands of Thai vendors into oblivion without options and now it seems like fun in general is next, instead of tackling the biggest problem that could bring Thailand to its knees which is the unrest and bombings in the deep south. I thought Thailand was under military leadership? Why is nothing done to eliminate the radical subjects in Yala, Narathiwat, etc.? Priorities in Thailand by now are so out of tune that it hurts in the ears of anyone who still can think straight. Getting really angry, need to stop... sorry
I must agree with you.Is this the reform process to bring back peace, unity and happyness? -
What a shame.On the one hand they want to fight corruption,on the other hand they now open a new great door for it.
Prohibition helps predominantly only the criminals.
To try to solve the alcoholism problem only with prohibitions, penalties and criminalization, will fail 100%Behavioral changes are only sustainable through understanding and insight.-

Good intention.But they must do it, not only talk.The best time is to start on the school playgrounds.

one in five found to be standard quality, rest "substandard.
so 80 % rotten?
235 rice samples out of 1,339 samples tested = 17,55%
What is substandard here? -
1350 pilots, isn't that a bit high for 200 aircraft?
It's a question not a comment
Our AircraftAirbus 380-800No. of aircraft 5Boeing 747-400 744/ 74R/ 74NNo. of aircraft 1/ 6/ 6Airbus 340-600No. of aircraft 6Boeing 777-300No. of aircraft 6Boeing 777-300ERNo. of aircraft 8Boeing 777-200No. of aircraft 8Boeing 777-200ERNo. of aircraft 6Airbus A330-300 333/ 330/ 33HNo. of aircraft 12/ 8/ 7Airbus A300-600No. of aircraft 5Boeing 737-400No. of aircraft 5Total 89 * Crewfactor 4 = 356 * 2 = 712For this calculation it is important to know the exact number of machines.These total numbers I got from the Thai Airways website.For short range they have no (fewest) machines.Nok Air's is domestic.
There are rumors that 200 pilots have changed company.
Every European tax official would give them a hard time1300 up to 712 is no good.-

It is clear that immigration has staff shortages.Also the form of organization (structure and process) has remained largely unchanged.They must provide simpler rules or provide more staff.

Main problem is the personnel policy.Too Much unnecessary administrative management.Much more important is good service staff.Hope they hire in the future more quality service staff, like this one:

The conducted undercover-operation seems to be illegal in mass.1. Why the owner was arrested?How can the owner know what his massage staff do with the customers upstairs?
2. The undercover agents were probably foreigners.
Did they have an official work permit todo police work?
3 The Undercover agents have obviously tried with a very high amount of money (2000Baht) to bribe the massage girls to get the enjoyment-sexual services.
It is well known that many massage girls need extra money for their Families upcountry.
A shameless exploitation of this situation on the part of these semi-legal "undercover" agents.4 I hope the owner sues these undercover agents for bribery attempt on his staff.5 Furthermore, the owner could sue the police for defamation. -
I hope the solution of the problem has nothing to do with the subsidy program for cheap raw material for 1,000 restaurants, that offer now cheap eat fixed price per plate.
.
I hope that this time are real consequences for this organized rice criminals here.
Prison and asset confiscation must be the only result here. -

Nothing against people who have done with hard work, diligence, creativity and ideas their assets.
Fight against the people who have gathered their money with extortion, bribery and corruption.
Abuse of public office. There's a lot of money in the game, the temptation is so great.
Especially if it is not controlled by independent bodies.
One of the most lucrative games is with land plots.
Buy some cheap land (even more "elegant" do it with friends or family members).
If you are in power then, build a nice road to your land with public money.
The land value will easily rise by 400% or more.
I hope they examine also the assets of senior officials in the public land offices and administrations.-

I miss really a clear course of action.Everyone interprets the laws here, as it just fits into their own populist agenda.Unfortunately, there are so many antiquated business, visa and labor laws.All ministries cook their own soup.But a coherent overall concept is not present.

dominated businesses such as restaurants, laundry services, Thai massage, tour guides and spas?
They're mostly all small businesses.
How many of them have only open a shop to get a 1 year Business Visa?
Many are under 50 yo, not married with a thai, doesen´t want to work as staff 50 hours a week for other or can´t get a work permit in there field.
Easy, go to a lawyer, pay and then comes your LTD with one work permit.
For this reason, many operate a simple business, coz they must have 4 thais on the payroll.
So they rent some space, opened a restaurant, Thai massage, travel agency, .....
Make these little shops here astronomical profits? I think not.
Quite the contrary, many subsidize their loss-making businesses.
Others have bought land with their company.
Many already retired who want to enjoy their twilight years in peace on their little plot.
So many are worried because of this witch-hunt.
Now they are trying to criminalize - non asean- foreigners.The country sets the legal framework.There is a legal loophole.This was heartily used by foreigners and their Thai lawyers.Ok, the loophole should be closed now.I miss really a clear course of action.Everyone interprets the laws here, as it just fits into their own populist agenda.Investment security, especially for smaller investors, has here no clear standard.
Unfortunately, there is no investor-friendly environment, only antiquated business, visa and labor laws.All ministries cook their own soup.But a coherent overall concept is not present.
