What would immigration of your home country do ?  Just ignore people staying without a visa ?

How could minimum charges prevent anybody from being overcharged ?
TAT should better keep an eye on drivers of songtaews and Grab "taxis" who sell overpriced trips without having tour licences.

How would minimum charges prevent tourists from being exploited? Shouldn't the ministry specify maximum charges instead if tourists' protection from exploitation is the declared goal? I don't get it. Or am I misunderstanding something?

 

Not ANY tourguide will work for these minimum charges.

Yes but many Americans as well and yes t here have been many Russians in the news. Did not know the kid on the plane was American, but you forgot about the US escaped drug prisoner in Pattaya.

So what's worse for us foreigners reputation ?
A drunk or drugged or just crazy Russian who swims naked to a yacht, or guys who deal with drugs, escape and shoot their wife, open emergency doors on planes, watch out for kids ... ?
Another good one: A young American who shouted loud in a restaurant in Pai "We Americans own the world! <deleted> all off!"
Think about...

Most of the new hotels are small premises located in the Old City area and Nimmanhemin Road using online platforms such as Airbnb to promote short-term accommodation.

... and owned by Chinese companies.

Nearly the whole of the country falls under that description.

Luckily not our moo baan ????

Just use your brain and don't produce so much trash...

4 years ago a retired highschool teacher said to me that everybody who wants to do business with Thailand has to learn Thai because they are No.1 in Asia.
Did this change somehow ?  ????

As usual the reporting of this is poor, the story raises twice as many questions as the answers it gives.
Did they break in, or did he open the door ? Were they wearing masks, can they be identified ? Why did they flee through the back of the house ?
Seems a lot of risk for a THB 5000 reward. Should be 10 years inside for stupidity and 6 months for the crime

Sherlock and judge in one person ...

Note the disgustingly racist act of putting an 'alien' mask on the foreigner.

How low can the media Authorities stoop in their insults?!

 

And all this encouragement - incitement - to snitch on people. It's right out of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

 

Abhorrent.

 

If you have a work permit, you even have an ALIEN NUMBER. ????????????

Went to Panthip some time ago, tried to buy a legal copy of windows. Hahahahaha!!

 

(Yes, I've learned how to get a real copy since)

Went to IT-Square, asked for a licenced copy. Paid for a licenced copy - got a fake.
So do those guys know where they should start their investigations ? Don't think so ...

Immigration is counting TM6 cards + TAT multiplies it with a dream factor = Everything is at it's best.
Hotels loose 50% on a room = Not part of their fake calculation

What a load of nonsense....as I drive around Thailands roads I often see folks "spending a penny" at the roadside and nothing is said....if I try and kiss my TGF in public I get scolded as it,s "not polite" but peeing by the roadside for anyone to see is fine.....crazy place here sometimes

Spitting on the floor anywhere is fine as well...
