I went for my morning walk along Lamai Beach on Koh Samui and came across this...tragedy. I almost started crying. It's not just tons of garbage_waste it is also the oil within this environmental catastrophe.

I am not surprised by this Thai military governments response. All I can say is I'm disappointed with, the head in the ground, stance Thailand is taking.

Nana plaza (Sukumvit 4) is dead...

Please enlighten us all as to why?

Scams Scams and more Scams. Who would be pay 1 million $$$ to work?

Can you say "money grab."

Oh good grief....

Time will tell if tourists will fall for this "test and go and stop and test and go" scheme.

Of course you'll get a surge of applications to start...it's like a dam breaking. You initially get a rush of water but it soon tapers off. I'm still predicting that Thailand will be lucky to get over 100k per month in tourist. Time will tell if tourists will fall for this "TEST AND GO AND STOP AND TEST AND GO" scheme. It's just like a dam breaking. Initially you get a surge of water but it quickly it tapers off. Same with the applications. The numbers will quickly taper off to a little stream of applications. In addition, all applications do not mean boots on the ground tourists.

With the "test and go and stop and test and go" program they will be lucky if they hit 100k tourists mark. Have you noticed that TAT has already downgraded their projections. At one point it was 500k then 300k and now its at 200k?

Looks like he had a shopping list. Like he was going on everyday errands. RIP to the victims.

Deal breaker. Don't forget that you'll be out and about interacting with people who may/or may not have covid between the 1st quarantine test and 2nd quarantine test. If the 2nd test comes back positive,... game over. More time in quarantine and a whole lot more money out the window. Now that would be a vacation worth remembering.

I'm surprised he didn't start preaching about "dirty farangs".

Sorry but that 300K is wishful thinking. Especially with the two separate night hotel stays. I predict half of that number, 150K.

In the land of the flip flop anything that is decided means nothing. In the end you'll end up being disappointed.

There would need to be some juicy nuggets in that visa to get people to buy into it. 5 year visa with a 5 year extension is not that nugget. Besides, in the land of the flip flop, who would be crazy enough to get a visa that will be cancelled or altered two years in?

You think it will stop at 300B? Within 2 years it will double. Two years after that it will double again. Once the tax starts it will go up and up. That what taxes do. Taxes never goes down, just up.

There is no "however" in the survey. I consider 25th spot as a below average grade. Wake up Thailand before it's to late.

Another baht grab by the los. Another way to attract tourists...NOT!

Wow. This will drive up the tourist numbers. NOT.

Quarantine for you.
