Insurance is null and void if you have flown from a tier 3 & 4 zone at the time of your flight unless lt's for buisness. Holidays are not covered in the small print. A lot of people will get a shock when trying to claim medical bills

I can remember when Thailand had 4 million tourists per year. That figure became 39 million in 2019.
The place was much nicer and more beautiful back then. Thailand has been spoilt by the scourge of mass tourism. I hope that they never return.
Yes. Starting with you.

Ok lets cut the
<deleted>nonsense here; 1,2 billion baht divided by an average of 40,000 baht per person for quarantine (as most were Thais it is probably a lot less) means that at least 30,000 people went through. In the last 3 months that is at least 1,000 people arriving per day... Didn't happen!Very true. Glad somebody is talking sense. These ???? in charge must think everybody is as stupid as themselves to believe this BS.

Luggage handling fees only apply to cabs heading to and from Bangkok airports: Land Transport Dept
By The Nation
After the latest cab fare hike in the form of “special handling fees” won a mixture of amusement and dismay from the public, the Land Transport Department’s deputy director Tanee Suebrerk announced that this special fee only applies to metred taxis plying to and from Bangkok’s two airports.
He said taxis that do not pick up or deliver passengers to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports will only charge ordinary metre fare.
Under new regulations, taxis to and from the airports will be allowed to charge the following:
• Bt20 for every bag that exceeds 26 inches in width, height or length.
• Bt20 for every additional item of luggage after the first two.
• No more than Bt100 per piece for sports equipment like golf bags, bicycles, surfboards or musical instruments that are 50 inches or more in size.
• No more than Bt100 for equipment, tools or appliances that are 50 inches or more in size.
The cabbie is required to inform the passenger in advance about the extra handling fees. No charges will be allowed for carry-on baggage such as handbag, computer bag, backpack or personal belongings carried by the passenger.

I can only applaud this that they take action. I think they would not have done so had there not been cctv.
Not racist!!!!! Are you on drugs??? If it was thai v thai 2/300 baht exchanged no police but ohhhhh no it's a farang lets have them for all the money we can. Always the same.

The police here own franchises. They are franchisees. They are not law enforcement officials. They rarely engage in law enforcement, traffic safety, or public safety. They are not here for the benefit of the people, and they are not here to keep us safe. They are here to collect. That is all they do. If you need to give them an official title, it would be that of a revenue collection agent. Only it is their own account, that they represent.
Always remember one thing. The police here are not engaged in law enforcement. They are revenue collection agents, and they each have their own franchise. Nobody will ever touch them. They are protected at the highest levels. They do as they please, and Thailand remains a relatively lawless state. The extraordinary aspect of all of this, is how much of a tribute this is, to the Thai people. Despite the lack of law and order, and the extraordinary lack of a deterrent, Thailand remains a relatively safe place to live, and to travel, and crime is far lower than it would be in almost any other country, without law and order. I consider this to be a great example of how good most Thai people really are, and how honorable they are, as a people. I never feel threatened here. I can walk the streets of most cities late at night, and never feel afraid of my security, like in many other nations. The most dangerous place in this country is on the roads.
I know some will take exception to my summary. We have all encountered punks here, and business people who have no vision, and do silly things. But, I believe those are people who are the exception to this rule. Most are quite extraordinary, and in a large sense, are self policed.
And that experience you had is very, very common. Many years ago, my sister in law, was involved with a rather dodgy Brit, while living on Samui. When she finally ditched him, he was livid, and just could not handle it. He ended up coming one night, at 3:30am, and burning down her bungalow, which was made of wood and thatch. It went up like a bomb. Fortunately, neither she, nor her roommate were there at the time, or they would have either died, or ended up with major 3rd degree burns all over their bodies, which I believe was his intention. In most countries, this would be treated as attempted murder, correct? The police were able to find a video of him racing away from the scene, at around 3:35am, as there was a CCTV camera in front of the police station, only a few hundred meters away from her bungalow. They took him in, and told him he would have to leave Thailand, and could never return. Not sure what exchanged hands, for him to not have been arrested. He was also told he would have to pay my sister in law 120,000 baht for the destruction of her gold, cash, and possessions. Same for her friend. He did pay. We know that for a fact, as we were friendly with a couple of his friends. When she went to the police station to collect, she was told that he never paid, and he was already back in Thailand. But, that they had advocated for her, and made sure he could never come back to Thailand! When she pushed, and told them that she knew for a fact that he had paid them, she was told that her life was now in danger, and that she needed to back down, and go away, or her safety could not be guaranteed.
The real problem is, you cannot report these guys. Not to the higher ups, not to the provincial authorities, and certainly not to the army. They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. They are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Anything hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the naive amongst us. So typical of these collection agents, who have the audacity to pose as cops. They are anything but. Many are operating their own little mafia gangs. But law enforcement? Never.Never a truer word spoken. ????????

As bad as it looks, I wouldn't read much into this because if you look at other countries many are in as bad a state or worse, Australia for instance is officially in recession although most feel it had been for the past couple of years with high unemployment and an exorbitant cost of living. Thailand will weather the storm and come out of it with sails full once a vaccine is produced and quarantine is removed.
Realy???? Don't hold ya breath bud. Thailand has been in a slow downword spiral for the last frw years since the ???? took over only now accelerated due to the china virus

'Four years after Brexit, support for the EU surges in Britain'
"Four years on from the UK's Brexit vote, a majority of British voters would now opt to remain inside the European Union, says new research.
According to the European Social Survey (ESS), a pan-European poll carried out every two years, 56.8% of respondents in the UK indicated that they would vote to remain inside the bloc, an increase from 49.9% the last time the survey was published in 2018. The most recent survey shows that of those questioned in the UK, 34.9% said they would vote to leave and 8.3% said they would not vote at all."
