Wait a minute, there is no prostitution in Thailand! If no visa is required with no checks then it is hardly surprising more than just tourists are using this opportunity to enter Thailand. Did nobody consider that a possibility when this was implemented? Hey, if you can't get a drink in the afternoon what else are all the sex tourists going to do, jet ski?

You are right, he does sound like one of the "refugees" who arrive by dinghy in England and are put up in four star hotels and given a phone, free meals and pocket money while they await "processing" by the Hopeless Home Office.

Yes indeed like the Thai hotels who have sued customers for leaving bad "feedback" after their stay, meal or whatever.

I am not familiar with author Bob Scott and it isn't stated where else this might have been published but what a master class of understatement with regard to the UK's rapid decline in civilized behaviour. Also the total naivety of Mr Ruparelia assumption he will be able to stay in Thailand having been a "receptionist" (can he do 120 wpm) earning a King's ransom of 500 baht an hour is astonishing, or did he win the UK lottery? No wonder all the old cynics on here are Taking the Micky.

The figures that we really should be looking at are the increases in fees. Is Thailand now to be a "country wide" National Park or Historical Monument/Area/ Building etc with fees for some 400% and more above local rates (China, India etc) to visit. This is either a rogue announcement or a policy that will serve to discriminate on nationality alone. Not good for tourism either way. I wonder if we will see an embarressing about turn and loss of face?

Thaiger is another publication that has no editors and uses Google translate and voice recognition.

The article says 8 million, and the world population is now just exceeding 10 billion. I do agree everything we hear from TAT is hugely exaggerated but these figures seem to have been posted by the Thai embassy in Wellington, nobody else. Did the Kiwis just put their rent up?

A real curfew would be 7pm to 7am, but think what that would do to TATs predicted muli millions of tourists. Three hours in the afternoon is a nonsence and is just a sad reminder of "Junta Power". The inconvenience of not being able to get a bottle of wine with a meal or (supposedly) not a beer in a bar or complete your shopping in one trip when they just let clubs stay open until 4am shows how dumb politicians can be.

She needs four 'cuffs and a muzzel. It could be a hell of a cat fight when she catches up with his new GF. Want any tickets?

Ting Tong! I wish I had a pound for every one I have met like that.

Yes indeed and some might not get regular payments monthly although over a year income is more than 65k/m but that is not acceptable to IOs.

And in Demintia Bidonland they have labradoodles and lap dogs where nobody is ever eaten alive by dogs.

Guns need a human to pull the trigger, dogs do not.

Bars and clubs open until 4 am in certain areas, but no booze sales in the afternoon. Total nonsense, otherwise known as "Thai Logic".

Has AN gone woke, this is another theft by a "Ladyboy" in one part of the story then a "woman", a "trans gender woman" in another and as "her" in the story. Why don't we stick to Katoy as it rhymes with Kamoy in future.

You are the only poster on here that has compared Motor bikes and Scooters for the purpose of the article. Technically scooters are motor bikes but should be called motor scooters as they are of a different design. I have owned and ridden many of both.

My next door neighbour got a white Vespa just like that last year. It's nice. I saw somebody on a "Mod" scooter a few weeks ago wirh loads of mirrors and lights, he didn't have a "Parker" on though.

Whoever named the article is wrong too, it is about scooters.

Second hand market is not popular in Thailand. I've seen many "used" shops in Bangkok, some selling Japanese workers in Thailand's home contents and things not worth paying to move. They don't last long, partly I suspect because items are mostly far to highly priced. There are market areas though with stalls and people sat on the floor, but not furniture. Most stuff seems to get passed down the family until it is junk.

It is not clear they are on the right hand side of the road system, but the eyewitness reports say they were in the outside lane (what some refer to as the "fast lane") so are traveling on the left side of the system. What is clear is the picture was taken from a vehicle following DANGEROUSLY close behind.

We don't want these things on the footpath, we have enough with scooters and other 2 wheelers never mind the pot holes, vendors and low hanging wires. Turning right at the next junction is the only excuse to be in the right hand lane though. Are e-wheers banned from the roads, or is that discretionary like everything else?

I wonder how "British" this person was. The UK Home Office give passports away like confetti.

They are motorbikes not scooters, or don't you know the difference?

I have been looking at replacing a scooter too and last year I went into two shops ajacent to each other to enquire about a Honda Lead. The shop on the right quoted 57,000 and the other shop quoted 52,000. The recommended retail price is only a guide and they have gone up since I last looked, last month I was quoted 63,000 at another shop a mile away. TIT as Trink used to say. Keep shopping around.

Another "selfie" inflicted accident?
