So the 300 baht is to pay for tourists without insurance and the remainder is to fund tourism development ???????? Welcome to Thailand, YOU will pay for other people's insurance and YOU will pay for the upkeep of tourist attractions whilst being charged vastly more than the local population to visit the aforementioned tourist attractions. What next? A 30 baht charge on all tourists restaurant bills to cover the cost of someone doing a runner and the upkeep of the air conditioning? The few tourists without insurance blends into insignificance when compared to the Thais driving/riding without insurance but maybe the insurance companies prefer this, just imagine the compensation payments due to the ineptitude of Thai road users if everyone was insured ????????

Looks a dam site prettier than the average obese couch potato westerner stuffing her face with pizza ????????

ALL Thai people? No, Bangkok is referred to as Krung Thep by the vast majority of Thai people unless you live in one of those bubbles that Thailand is becoming infamous for ????????

Thailand India travel bubble, most people are fully aware of what happens to bubbles, POP ????????

Thailand, the world hub of bubbles and we all know what eventually happens to bubbles ????????

She had 2 options, 1) Ignore the idiot and let it go or, 2) Drop the idiot straight away. If her boxing skills are anything to go by, option 2 would have resolved the problem in a couple of seconds ????????

Thailand’s daily Covid-19 infections could possibly reach 30,000 cases by the end of February? Methinks that number has, in reality, been surpassed months ago.

Thanks for that, when I read the article I was lost for words but you have summed it up perfectly.

International drug dealer murdered, shot 10 times, ohhh dear, how sad, never mind.

Ahhhhh of course it is fully vaccinated, multi tested, expensively insured, hoop jumping tourists that are bringing Covid-19 here, woe betide anyone that thinks its the 1 shot Sinovac locals or unvaccinated migrant workers.

I think you will find "Ai (here)" is a derogatory term in Thai ????????

The bend is not dangerous but sadly the driving is.

"make sure that all the necessary safety measures are in place and strictly enforced, to prevent possible spread of COVID-19" The POSSIBLE spread of Covid-19? ???????????????? Dream on.

Are you referring to the 'quality tourists' that Thailand is so desperate to attract? ????????

His understanding of the word 'saved' is somewhat different to mine.

<deleted> same old BS story, repeated 3 times every month, Aseannow seems to forget (ignore) the fact that not all retirees are overweight, tattooed and with a receding hairline, men that enjoy booze and hookers. Granted there are happily married (in their county of origin not to a luv u long time 30 year younger 'wife') retirees living here but they are very few and far between.

"His travel insurance has lapsed due to an unexpected extended stay" Fake News ???????? By the look of his Facebook posts there were a lot of 'unexpected' sessions at bars and 'unexpected' 90 day reports. Do I pi$$ my money up the wall or maybe stay at home for a few nights and use the booze money for insurance, ain't exactly rocket science is it?

Plenty of red and white zebras after being attacked by a lion. The ZEBRA crossing was first introduced in the UK in 1951 then at a later date the stupid Americans adopted the idea but used the wrong colour paint and the Thailand followed suit ????????

Of course all the motorcycle riders caught on camera were wearing crash helmets and nobody was using a mobile phone and the Artificial Intelligence system did not flag any unregistered, uninsured vehicles ???????? The Artificial Intelligence is very suitable for the police here as they have no real intelligence of their own.

Ohhhhhhh you have a Benz, Wow. In my knackered old pick up my engine also turns off whenever I stop but I call it stalling and I am too preoccupied trying to restart it to use my phone.

Ahhhhh thats ok then, if it was about corruption and not corruption perception maybe Thailand would be around the 170 score ????????

So I no longer need the inconvenience of having my Thai driving licences in my wallet, all I have to do is go to a transport office renew my licenses for a digital version, attempt to log into a Thai government web site and register so as I can have EXACTLY the same information on my mobile phone. Ahhhhhh technology makes life so easy, NOT ????????

Why do people bother to go to immigration? Use a reliable visa agent and if necessary the Thai postal service.

And the fractions of infections is based on ???????????? the number of people tested. Why are so few people tested ???????????? got to keep the figures below 10k could well be an answer. They have now admitted that Covid is in every province so if they divide the total population by the number of tests then use that number and multiply the positive cases it would give a fair indication of the situation, but their calculator still seems to have a problem with the display showing the correct amount of zeros.
