Why would a private citizen, an industrialist, be licensed to carry a gun?

Guess the strong baht and the trade war are of influence, but there are more factors esp. for repeat visitors.

 

- Dangers on the roads

- Scams every place you visit (even Thai people get scammed everywhere)

- Pollution of streets and beaches, etc......

- Over inflated prices and taxation products foreigners use

- Higher prices for foreigners for instance national parks

- Grudge against foreigners

- Political climate

- Justice only for the rich

 

I can list a lot more and I know that other countries will also have problems, but Thailand has reached the top now.

I feel sorry for all the expats because for them it's even worse because of the TM hassle. 

 

I used to work in Bangkok for ten years and was a regular visitor in the last couple of years, now it's time to go visit other places until Thailand will make some drastic changes. But that won't happen.

How do any of your eight suggestions affect the figures for this year more than previous years?I have two friends who have been visiting regularly for years, one has decided to cut his visits from four to two per year and the other cancel his November trip altogether, both  purely because of the exchange rate.

Do holders of ELITE cards have to comply with TM30?

Drunks impact everybody when they get behind the wheel. Any moron from another country who comes over here thinking they can break the law because it's Thailand should be deported for life for DUI and if they hurt or kill someone should face attempted murder/murder charges. There has been enough information and tragic strories world wide to justify this and especially here. I saw the other day that they give a medical prior to issuance of OA visa with drug addiction flagged as a possible reason for refusal. I'd like to see liver enzymes function tests included in this medical which can show alcohol abuse. There is no difference between alcohilism and drug addiction except that alcoholism causes way more damage.

How many tourists are driving?

Politicians wants to control everything. Next step: mandatory cameras in the private rooms to control the smoking ban.

 

English has a term for it --- nanny state.

Yes there are at Suvarnabhumi. 70 years and up - same desk as arriving Thais use. On the far right side as you look at the desks. This info is correct as of 6 months ago.

Also, according to the sign, usable by pregnant males!

  Would never get, say the BBC forecasting worng, at all, ever, would you?  Hurricane, what hurricane Mr Fish? But that would not fit with the anti-Thai narrative, would it?

 

What a strange comment --- that Michael Fish event was back in the days when forecasters used to stick symbols magnetically on a map (not always successfully).

And will they be exempt from TM30 conditions?

But it's not a discount for locals; they pay the right price. It's a bloody great surcharge for foreigners, like 1000% in National Parks!

Well you say that.

I don't mind dual pricing at a government financed site because tax payers should be given some discount.

HOWEVER, private traders have no right whatsoever to dual price.

No it does not since TM30 reporting is only for those on a temporary permit to stay. Same for 90 day reporting and etc.

Thank you Ubonjoe

Does anyone know how this affects P.R. holders.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

How about them rounding up the evil Indian money lenders on every popular soi? -- oh, I know!

What a wonderful sight to greet visitors to the country.

Does the holder of a permanent residency (PR)  have to submit TM30s?

?? This came into force years back, right?

This reads as if it is forbidden to enter the airport itself with these items. Or am i misreading this?

AIS costs an additional 70 baht per month, which makes it about 2300 for a year. Dtac 50 baht per month, so about 2100 per year. Still good offers though if the 4mbps of True are not enough.

Plus, I imagine, 7% VAT.

Canute Prayut at it again ????

 

 

Please read my reply to another poster or actually read the story of Canute.

Canute was showing his followers that he was human and COULD NOT control the tides.

Canute in action in Chiangmai, turning back the tide.

What has this to do with King Canute?

Do you actually understand the story?

Canute took his admirers to the beach to demonstrate that he was only human and COULD NOT control the tides.
