Not with the delay I set on the streaming service.  They'd have set it off to late...   ????

Ahh but it just so happens that Thai Airways are late to the extent it matches your delay on the streaming device.

I deal with food suppliers all the time including many FMCG's and one thing I know is that it is nigh-on impossible to stop intentional food contamination. You can certainly limit the risks but stop it ? Very unlikely.

Were consumers even thinking that there was problem in the first place?

What strategies are Thai Union putting in place that any other manufacturer isn't already doing ?

Sounds like Hyperbole to me.

A potential terrorist can monitor the webcam and remotely detonate a device at the precise time. 

if a terrorist really wanted to blow up a plane they will do it, webcam or not as proven on several occasions.

Under what legal authority can they force a man to shut down something that can be seen from public?

Military authority that's what.

TOT the phone company didn't know?

 

Many of the potential tourists may have booked on Thomas Cook which just folded stranding 600,000 tourists, allegedly around the world.

I suppose the phone company didn't know that either.

 

 

<deleted> Typo obviously ????

So you think that Thailand uses “smart highway” technology? That link you posted is waaaay different than the roads in Thailand. 

I didn't say that. I was pointing out that whilst I agree with you that the hard shoulder is for emergencies, some countries do use it to control traffic flow.

Which countries allow using the emergency lane?

UK for a start.

And I realise before you kick in that I should have said SOME countries rather than a LOT of countries.

Overtaking would be using the oncoming lane or at least passing on the correct side. 

 

In Thailand, the emergency break down lane is an extra lane for when the traffic is dense. Geniuses.

That's how it is in a lot of countries. The difference is it's usually open when there are traffic jams and speeds are 10mph.

In Thailand it's just used as a 4th lane. Time and time again I see pricks weaving through the traffic and undercutting on the hard shoulder travelling well in excess of 80mph +

Why is this good news? The TM 30 is still in place and the TM 6 was no inconvenience whatsoever.

The TM6 was an inconvienience. I always had to borrow a pen on the plane to fill the damned thing in. ????

Mind you it was a crock of <deleted>, I started off by filling it in correctly but after the 30th or so visit I started making up some of the less pertinent details for fun.

Dumb answer mate, "Why would anyone NOT want to use their insurance" ??????????????????

What I meant was that whilst I take out insurance it's something I never want to have to use.

Use the long queues at the immigration checkpoints for a further question.
Do you have a travel insurance ?
YES - Note the home country
NO - Note the home country
Check your lists and start thinking ...

Just get the airlines to add it to the price of the ticket...same as they do with the departure tax.

Quite simple really.

No the idea is good . But should be  provided by ToT as a choice.

We have that system NOW! You either have have travel insurance or you don't.

Can you show me where it definitely indicates that ?

The word "Tourist" in the article.

You can count on it. Like a quick rabbit killer to the neck. It would be a big money spinner in the coffers of government. With very few tourist needing to use the insurance. If they are real clever they could impose a levy before the tourist can use the insurance.

Why would anyone WANT to use their insurance.

Seems those liking compulsory insurance from the US like the idea of socialism.

 

is insurance compulsory in any country?

 

 

Let's not get mixed up with insurance for tourism (additional 100 baht) and insurance for ex-pats (skyhigh)

The former makes sense

1 hour ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said:

So is this article talking about the proposed insurance requirement for regular tourists, or the separate proposal to require health insurance for O-A visa applicants, or both?

 

 

As it's about tourism I'm assuming it's the 100 baht surcharge on arrival.
