Make it easier for expats to stay and spend money. And they will. nuff said.

Thais have a hard time ever lowering the price of anything can sit for a while, life condos, land, and alcohol. They would rather hike the price to try and make up lost revenue. It's the Thai way. Some golf courses have realized that an unused course is negative revenue and lately have lowered their prices, but they are the only ones that I've seen that understand what the airlines have known for years: that an empty seat is lost revenue.

Immigration is closed on Saturdays and Sunday. What's up with this story?

What happened to all those ultra wealthy tourists? The ones that like a beer with lunch, a glass of wine with dinner, a massage with a happy ending, and competitive boutique pricing like they have in Singapore. Actually everything like they have in Singapore. here you get no alcohol, 9pm curfew, heavy traffic, lack of adequate mass transit. broken sidewalks when you can find one while dodging motorbikes and lots of places that don't take credit cards. As a tourist of any kind, a smile on the face of local and a wai just won't cut it.

This seems like hot air to me! The price of wine will stay the same or go higher.

Give the guy a break. He's just trying to justify his salary and brown envelope donations. Just because he's stupid doesn't mean he's a good person. I guess restaurants will just look the other way since they have to try and make up for the losses this guy has put on them. Or people under 50 who aren't pregnant and can't get the nonexistent vaccines are just going to eat on the go. Just another typical day in the land of stupid.

I find problems with clothes, shoes, and socks. XL doesn't mean XL here. Hard to find size 12 (USA) shoes and socks. I have to try on everything to make sure they are a good fit.

I'd just like a haircut.

Bangkok the next Singapore? It could be done. Change the cultural makeup, change the government, fire all the generals and high ranking policemen, actually give tourists a clean safe, uncorrupted place to enjoy. I guess we only dream.

Let me know when golf courses and restuarants are open and allowed to serve alcohol. When they are, I'll visit Hua Hin, stay in a 5 star hotel, play golf and spent a lot money. Otherwise there's no need to go.
