Considering that the general population are so tolerant of different sexualities you’d think the politicians would jump on the bandwagon, legalise same sex marriage and promote the country as a welcoming wedding venue!
An overvalued USD helps nobody but dollar carrying tourists and expats. In the short to medium term it causes more harm than good to the world economy.
So months of discussion and then it’s for a few months only. So exactly how many extra tourists do they think they’ll get for all their debating? 100? 1000? 10,000?
Central World to Surasak in a meter taxi on a normal traffic day, doubtful lit would be over 100 baht. Why would anyone use a tuk tuk but for novelty factor. Do it once for a short hop on your first visit and then forget about them!
They should have learned that wearing a mask is not an issue. But some people will never learn, you apparently are one of them. Personally I’ve adjusted my budget to include a 20 baht pack of masks every couple of weeks.
It’s neither scaremongering nor obsession, it’s a scientific fact. However I agree about non crowded outdoor areas etc. I continue to to wear my mask outdoors because it’s what Thais are still doing and I’m not obsessed with civil liberties.
Not my experience of living in Bangkok, the majority will use their meter, rarely get refused a ride too. Except of course if I happen to be in the tourist hotspots.
