He wasn't smart enough to dispose of his media company shares before the election, despite it being the same technicality that Thanathorn broke four years earlier.

Especially when you have helped to fund the crime family currently in government.

Finally found something useful for those damn shrines.

Nothing but a shameless ploy to attract Chinese tourists. And pocket a few baht for themselves by receiving backhanders to issue licenses. Thais will continue gambling in their own venues, like they always have done. The local mafia won't be affected.

After a woman's leg was chopped off by the shoddy machinery at the airport. If you think that all of the 36 billion baht is going to the airport, or that it will be finished by 2029, I have magic beans to sell you for a million baht each.

Do you understand percentages?

Not a bad price. As long as the woman doesn't have kids already or a previous husband. In which case, the family should be paying him.

I'm sure that the world's richest airport operator (according to Bloomberg) will re-invest every single penny of that increase to improve facilities, like the Don Mueang Airport, which is basically a relic of the 1970s. The extra revenue (millions of baht a month) will definitely not disappear into the coffers of managers and executives. Pig's might fly! Seriously though... there's something seriously flawed in the Thai national mindset at every level of society that they see foreigners as their cash cow.

He's Austrian not Australian. Thais and geography don't go together well.

I wanted to update people on the outcome of this case. The Coffee Club Thailand head office confirmed that there is no service charge when points are redeemed on their app. The 12 Baht charged by the branch on Sukhumvit 11 was a breach of their own terms and conditions. The manager refunded the 12 baht and made an apology. Now, this isn't about the money, or the fact that the staff chased after me so it looked like I was trying to leave without paying. When I returned to dispute the service charge, every one of the staff were insistent that making a service charge for the 'free' drink was correct. This is despite me explaining to them that I had redeemed points in the same branch just a couple of weeks earlier and not been given a service charge. Indeed, I've redeemed points on their app at branches around Bangkok and the rest of the country without ever having been made to pay a service charge for the free loyalty reward drinks. Unfortunately, cases like this are symptomatic of Thais in almost every walk of life, but particularly in the service industry. When they don't know the answer or they do things incorrectly the simply come up with some fabrication or nonsense explanation (translation = BS) for what they're doing. The majority of Thais accept what they are told in these circumstances without questioning it. It's always the customer that loses out. I would implore everyone never to accept the words that are told to them in Thailand question them critically and rationally.

This significantly improves the view of the monument.

I've read them. No mention of service charges being added when points are redeemed.

We're all 'working people'. Stop the patronizing attitude that just because people come from semi-developed countries it's ok for them to cheat.

If a cafe can wrongly charge 12 baht to one person for one 'free' coffee, they can do it for other items, to other people, on other days, which in a year adds up to significant amounts.
