Rip that band-aid off. Get rid of the Thai Pass for all in one quick swoop.

Evil wife and goofball accomplishes. The one fatal part of her plan was not bribing the police in the scheme.

Xenophobia + thainess = this <deleted>

What's the difference between "sacked" and "let go"? Never mind. I found my answer.

I can fly from Bangkok to Surat Thani Airport and take a bus/ferry to Koh Samui for under 1300 baht. Which will take me approximately 3.5 hours. A direct flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui will cost me 3500-5500 baht, depending on season. Both flights take around an hour so they are the same distance in air miles. The only reason for the difference in price is Koh Samui's airport is controlled by one single airline which gouges tourists on ticket prices and does not allow other airlines to use the airport. Me being a tourist, I have time to burn, so I am happy to trade 3 hours for 2200-4200 baht everytime. It buy me a lot of the 60-80 baht beers I will be drinking the time I'm enjoying my vacation on the island.

It's not rocket science. Get rid of the test n go, along with insurance and any other restrictions, then the numbers will increase.

The article said "potential refund". In other words, don't count on a refund. Sorry for you.

Finally they are getting it. TAT may reach there numbers after all.

Faring, what's that?

With this flip flop government I wouldn't make any plans to go to Thailand.

Thainess 101, blame the tourist, no Thai's could be involved.

Thainess 101, Blame the tourist, no Thai's are involved in water fights.

I travel to Thailand (southern islands) yearly for a month or two or three. When in Thailand I feel 20 years younger. I loose a minimum of 20 lbs per visit. Am a lot more active by walking, hiking, biking, swimming, diving, etc, etc. So my answer to the question is YES, Thailand is a healthier environment to live in.

Thai Pass, I'll pass. I'm making plans for Cambodia.

I wouldn't try to stop the attack without some sort of shielding and weapon. Besides, the RTP would blame any hapless tourist who step in for the attack.

The governments ears are deaf.

Will they ever learn? Apparently not. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...the Thai government is insane.

Sounds about right.

The rules will flip flop. There's no planning with this government.

No

No!

Good on them.

Any bets on the outcome of the blood tests?

Typical neutral stance from the "flip flop" government.

Another blow to Thai tourism industry.
