Anutin Joins PM in Pot Stand, Urges Arrests of Foreigners
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Anutin likes to visit the UK occasionally. May the heavens look down favorably so he happens to bump into a dirty farang who can give him a piece of his mind without the archaic laws of his homeland protecting him. -
Thai Airways Introduces Enhanced Mobile App Upgrade
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Downloaded the app out of curiosity and to compare fees. Thai Air - Bangkok to Chiang Mai round-trip = 4500 Baht AirAsia or Lion Air round trip = 2,000 Baht Most of the people who choose to use Thai Air are older nationalistic Thais who have a misguided patriotic loyalty to their flag carrier. More fool them. -

Thai Airways Faces Backlash Over Business-Class Seat Fiasco

The difference is you have no problem with someone of another nationality running the airline. Neither do Emirates or most off the best airlines. Thai Air appoints military and police, then they wander why it's an appallingly airline. -

This was nothing but a bribe to get votes. It will bankrupt the country. Typical Taksin. -

British Tourist Warned Over Criticism of Thailand Online

Thais are the most infantile nation of people on the planet. There is quite simply no comparison. Overgrown child, the lot of them. From the very top to the bottom. Sue me.- 441 replies

Thai Airways Faces Backlash Over Business-Class Seat Fiasco

Thais are a funny breed. Complain about their flag carrier's appalling service and outright corruption. But refuse to hire a foreign management team with executive level aviation industry to reform the failing airline. Better still... sell the the airline to a group like IAG with license for them to do completely turnaround the airline how they see fit. -
Thailand Customs to Apply VAT on All Postal Imports
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is not difficult to implement. Shopee, Lazada, AliExpress etc etc just need to collect the 7% at checkout and pass it onto the Thai government. The amount will be hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Somebody has to pay for the Shinawatra family's private jets and property empire. And it sure as hell isn't going to be them.- 181 replies

Foreigner Allegedly Employing at Thai Barber Shop Investigated by Police

There's a barber shop staffed by Arabs at a very prominent location - literally within the eye line of a police box - opposite Sukhumvit Soi 4. -
AWC set to scoop jackpot from Thailand’s casino legalisation
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Passenger charges soar at six major Thai airports
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

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. -

Passenger charges soar at six major Thai airports
RandolphGB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

Service charge when redeeming app points at Coffee Shop
RandolphGB replied to RandolphGB's topic in General Topics
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. -
