Thailand looks at easing visa rules in bid to boost tourism
Stoker58 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
“The idea is that the longer tourists can stay in Thailand, the more they will spend”. Some sound thinking at last. I can’t understand why so many people seem to hate “visa runners” and backpackers. They’re not doing any harm and not costing Thailand anything. -
I had to do the Thai driving test recently to renew my licence. It was appalling. They learned nothing about road safety and competence. They need a much more rigorous way of training drivers. They also need real traffic police, but everyone knows that already.

Let’s pretend there really are tens of thousands of new internal cases in Thailand every day. <deleted> actual difference would it make if an occasional tourist arrived with a bad cold. None.

Will tourism in Thailand bounce back from Covid differently?
Stoker58 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Things have changed in the source markets, the West, Russia and China. These are outside Thailand’s control and will greatly limit any bounce back. That said, they also badly need to replace the current bureaucratic maze with a proper welcome mat for farangs bearing cash. -
I had to stop reading this bigoted rant after the first few paragraphs. Simplistic caricaturing of other people is no better than the people the writer imagines he is criticising. I suggest the person responsible takes a hard look at his prejudices.

People advised to be aware of Long COVID’s effects on mental health
Stoker58 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There is a mental health crisis, but it’s not caused by a harmless respiratory virus.
