    Will they expound the benefits and full flavour of the wines that have been adulterated with "Orchard Fruit" so as to reduce the alcohol content and still keep the price out of the average wine drinkers budget. Maybe the beer Duopoly will charge high fees to enter the wine expo to keep people out and further protect the beer market. Just got back from Loa where a good quality wine is very affordable.Cant say the same about Thailand.

    Currently every time we have a few showers of rain you can already see that the leveling and paving on the Beach Road foreshore is not level with huge pools of rain water all along the new work. So I guess next year they will pull it up yet again for remedial work?.

    A sign of desperate times in the tourist industry. Having just spent another month here the bars,resteraunts etc are empty of FARANG tourists, plenty of 711 Indian tourists and a few Eastern Europeans. Talking to staff at the main gathering places they are all complaining how quiet the town is. Had a week in Lao about the same as Thailand few tourists. The Thai government has to bring down the value of the Baht much better value in Cambodia and Vietnam.

    They will continue to decline due to the highly over valued Thai Baht! Lets hope the new Government takes the steps to fix the fomer Goverments self interest.

    The one thing the wizz kid didn't consider is an amnesty. Many other countries use this with effect. If you get caught now you will face a massive fine, an incentive to go on keeping low. An amnesty would waive any penalties and would probably see a lot of overstayers wanting to leave the country

    Thailand is no longer competative with the rest of SE Asia. Baht over valued.Non competative alcohol market.Suicide roads and mini buses (vans) and totally dishonest taxi drivers. I won't go on and list all the things that are killing the tourist business. Hopefully a new govt will start acting instead of empty promises.

    Is it still no money to print off images as was the case with speed and red light cameras? Not all lost someone would have made money on the purchase of the AI units.

    Remember seeing a booze truck overturn in Melbourne years ago. I have never seen so many police cars at the scene of an accident. For some reason they all had the boot lids up and back door open.

    New rules! From now on all recruitment and promotions will be strictly on a weight bases. The heaviest envelopes will go to the head of the queue.

    Thai Police. A joke. Just another way of paying unemployment benefits.

    If you are going to make a capital investment in Thailand you should employ a lawyer to check all documentation etc before you sign. A few thousand baht is a small amount for lawyers fees compared to you investment. This applies to many countries throughout the world.

    billd766 needs to read up before rushing to judgement, Suggest you read a few Government press releases re Covid and Songkran. Just to note a few 16/4, 20/4, 2/5. All state expectations are for Covid numbers to rise after Songkran but then of course the Government has been wrong before maybe billd766 should get a job as a government forecaster and health expert.? Remember one MANS rubbish is another Mans treasure.

    Covid increase all because adults want to play childrens games and splash water over everyone and get up close in other peoples space. Time to put common sense over tradition!

    This is not about increasing consumption of alcohol it is about opening the market to competition and reducing prices.This would also increase employment opportunities as we have seen where there has been an increase in micro breweries in many countries.

    To those that say they require more experience, I have worked for bosses who claim to have 50 years experience. The only problem is they have had 0ne years experience 50 times rather than 50 years of experience, just like many politicians.

    Thailand OUT Cambodia and Veitnam IN. Better service, fraction of cost, French influence in food and wines. Less ripoffs.

    Just another corrupt industry in Thailand. The government looking after the HISOs so the profits can be shared with the decision makers.

    I trust they will regularly breath test the trees to make sure they don't jump out infront of a vehicle.

    "Current legislation is out of date NOW". Sex and prostitution have been around for thousands of years but the Thai Government has just realized their laws are out of date. Well it does take all types to make the world go round.
