The continued and general rising in the practice of dual pricing around attractions, national parks and other venues is spreading on travel websites now. This is surely a contributing factor to those that want to retire on fixed incomes with the thought that Thai people simply look at foreigners as cash cows with different ways to milk with no end in sight now.

2 questions... Has anyone ever noticed that when they have a record breaking drug bust of Yaba, Cocaine, and marijuana that some of these Ministry officials post these phenomenal figures a few days after that, that always seem just about unbelievable?

What happens to these drugs after they display them in front of those arrested with the informational floating banner and all the top officials standing there having there picture taken?

There seems to a bit of coincidence happening with these events.

Looks like immigration doesn't like guys who carry man purses.

EMPTY PURSES!  Tourism is a quality seeking venture now! New Que at the airport will read EXPRESS ONSITE VISA/ Have wallets and bank books open prior to approaching Immigration desk... Those deemed rich enough may pass!

I grew up on a farm and learned many things.... Some I see happening in my later life now here living in Thailand. One thing I remember is my father telling me about the cows and the cow path. He said " Son, watch those cows and the way they walk on the path they make to the pond.. They follow the same path everyday and the path gets deeper and deeper as time goes on. In a few months it will be worn down from the smooth dirt surface and then they eventually will get down to the rocks when the dirt wears and washes away. Not one of those cows will ever step off to the side on the grass to avoid the rocks and try to make a new path. Then one day one will break its leg and fall down in the path. Then the other cows will have to walk around the cow and begin making a new path. Just keep watching them and you will see it happen. Tell me when the cow is down so we can get it and put it out of its misery and fill the freezer full." This is the exact thing happening here!  Tourism is a major economic contributor to Thailand and they are slowly killing it with inaction and denial that things are getting bad here.  Already other countries are reaping the benefits from the lack of understanding and inaction of the problems of Tourism and the changes in Immigration...
