There is never any meaningful shift in real policy to make significant change to both encourage expats or their investments, home ownership or indeed quality tourism. Minor temporary tweaks in existing long in the tooth policies at best with little effect. There is no desire for real positive beneficial change towards foreign markets.

No good comes from playing hours of computer games everyday.

There are probably more cannabis shops than 7 eleven in Phuket. Most seem devoid of customers and economics will cull them if the government doesn't. I think most trade is in the bars. Personally, I don't touch the stuff and like many others I dislike the smell. I won't stay long and spend money in a place (bar or restaurant) when I can smell a joint(s) and I am not alone ... my custom quickly goes elsewhere.

They are not women.

It never was a popularity contest.

Interesting he is being referred to now as Former Prime Minister only throughout the article and longer Inmate Thaksin.

How strange ...... Columbia and Peru produce, between them, 87% of the world's cocaine. Mexico is on there. Poor Bolivia at 13% does not get visa free travel. Its an understated $12 billion EU market with up to 2,5% of the population of some countries as users. The old Columbian white marching powder seems quite popular. As far back as 2005 substantial traces ere found in the EU Parliament and the police refused to investigate - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/jul/16/eu.politics and recently https://www.politico.eu/article/the-eu-has-or-hasnt-got-a-drugs-problem/ I guess these folks make us the visa free rules.

Isn't he too sick to contribute meaningfully?

Chinese economy is depressed. Their property market is in tatters. The scam gangs are all Chinese ... $2.4 billion of illegal funds seized in Singapore and Chinese held. And this is the tip of the iceberg. Look no further.

The only thing complex about this case would be picking through all the junk and crap in their homestead office.

Sadistic? Try Psychopath.

It will all change again in a few weeks.

Really .. when you can only own 49% of your own business? They need to rethink at least two more points on the list as well.

He already knows the answer.

Exactly

Feeling sorry for his wife ... she can do much better than this.

And this is news?

The authorities are urging anyone with information about Yuki’s whereabouts to come forward.... Might help if you posted a photo of him.

Chinese zero dollar tours are well documented. You should read more.

There are lot of unsavoury characters around at the moment.

I am not sure how Zero Dollar tours where the revenue stays in China is going to help tourism. Maybe I am thinking beyond arrival numbers.

I wish they do something useful like target approval for 100% foreign business ownership so we can own and control our business in Thailand.

Needs approval of Min of Interior and Justice first .... And which party controls the Ministry of Interior .... perhaps Mr Anutin as Interior Minister

Moreover, adhering to the standard regulations of the Corrections Department, the request must be made by August 22, 2024, as serving one-third of the sentence is a prerequisite. I made one third of 8 years ... 32 months and from August 2023 that means no consideration until around April 2026 ... not 2024....
