    Most European governments and media are up in arms about the British solution, but sooner or later the EU will have to resort to the British, or Australian way...

    Not only Thais. The Aussies gave Malaysians the same easy visa option as Westerners. Guess what, after that they had about 10,500 overstaying Malaysians working illegally... Just imagine, what would happen if it became true. There would be a serious labour shortage in Thailand within days...

    Probably mostly one-way, consumer goods and food exported to Europe, and tax-free submarines imported to Thailand...

    Otherwise it would be a Catch-22; no bank account, no long-term visa extension, and vice versa, with, perhaps, fewer expats in the future.
  5. StayinThailand2much
    You don't know that. Some banks may actually go beyond that by refusing to open bank accounts for foreigners in the future, just in case...

    Guess, they will particularly target foreigners again. It might be easier to swim in clean water at Pattaya Beach in the future than opening a bank account...

    Health tourism to Chiang Mai, perhaps? (Cough, cough...)

    In any feudal society, peasants couldn't just move around as they liked, and moving to a town was also dependant on certain restrictions.

    Barely usable as landfill...

    When your boss isn't telling you about important developments... 😆

    People in African markets will probably say: "Yuck", before buying fresh rice from Vietnam... That precious aged rice should be reserved for Pheu Thai politicians and the Shinawatra clan. Bon appetit!

    Wait, if there are already "too many tourists" this year, why would they want even more?
  13. StayinThailand2much
    How about the good old tourism scams? Any decline?

    Not to mention that 'anything' can be a suicide in the eyes of the BiB, if it suits them, incl. someone hanging from a bridge, plastic bag over the head, and hands tied behind the back...

    Yes, they really love the Chinese, we know that already! Wasn't the ED Visa scoffed at in the media not so long ago, as it was, supposedly, misused by some? But yes, if the Chinese have it, the red carpet gets rolled out...

    Wait till the IUSW gets sued for defamation in Thailand. Sex workers?? No such thing...

    New BMWs, villas, and Rolexes being ordered while we still talk about it, and Somchai Doe (of 95% 'lower class') not getting one satang of it...

    Of course they do, but this proposal has nothing to do with higher airport-costs, or tourism-industry improvements, or insurance, but is (in the latest proposal) purely a money-grab, cause there are "too many tourists", despite TAT's very frequent announcements about plans to attract like 80 million international tourists, or more.

    That's good and fair. And I will remind myself to cut one of my expenses by 300 baht to compensate, every time I travel to Thailand. 😆

    It's only a question of time till the likes of Asean Now get shut down, and YouTube, FB, and X get blocked like in big brother's country...
  21. StayinThailand2much
    Ban him for life; he dared to criticise something related to Thailand!
  22. StayinThailand2much
    "Baht Slides: Economic Impacts for Thailand" More bl**dy cheapo tourists... 🙄
  23. StayinThailand2much
    And yet, wasn't the word only a few days ago that there are 'too many tourists, and the Tourism Minister should take action'? So, why is there still a need for promotion, or do certain parties in Thailand get a cut from the promotion budget?
  24. StayinThailand2much
    It's simple, they just assumed that each tourist (all singles, obviously) spent 1,000 baht on accommodation per night, and 800 baht per day on food and beverages...
  25. StayinThailand2much
    15+ hours return (for the driver); good luck finding a taxi at Suvarnabhumi for such a trip. Of course, if you offer enough cash, you might get lucky... Probably you'd have to offer at least eight or ten thousand baht.
