What is it they say about lipstick on a pig... this is just new hub caps for the hub.

The way Grab handles tolls depends on your location... Automatic toll fee (available only in the Philippines): the toll is automatically calculated based on GPS and current toll rates, then added to the total fare you see in the app. Cash payment (which is how they do it in THA): the toll is not included in the fare. Drive pays, and you pay the driver at the end of the trip (or you can hand them the money at the toll booth yourself -- assuming the driver does not have one of those fastrak transponders). All these tourist had to do was look at the Grab app and it would have clearly indicated the toll fee was not included.

There is an undercurrent of thought by foreigners who believe everything in thailand needs to be inexpensive, and any additional money is always going to be rip-off (and then of course there are always just the garden variety a-hole tourist)... the former is really the result of Thailand's own rich history of scamming tourist (sorry to say), so some tourist think everything is going to be a scam. But in this case I suspect a-hole tourist... come on, just look at the app (and the terms of the app) and what you paid (tolls where not in the fee), and the fact you asked to take toll roads (which cost $$$), so just pay up.

Thin skin and access to guns... this is what happens. Truth is anyone who has lived here for more than just a couple of years, has witnessed the uptick in gun related violence/deaths. And here's the thing about gun violence... It only gets worst, not better.

TRD should do an audit of his tax returns too 😂 he deserves all the grieve and discomfort coming his way.

In conclusion, 8 unaccompanied visually impaired passengers where already on board. That's the airlines stated limit.

Thailand biggest and best airport (BKK) can't even handle the crush of human beings trying to passthrough. Forget about it.

The Hub of Crackdowns... just as long as they don't have to get out of their chairs, or leave their air-con offices. Having 2 shady foreigners hand you forged passports, and you arresting them for forged passports... case in point.

There is going to be a lot of unhappy brick-and-mortar dispensary owners. They will need to switch to medical, and everyone simply gets their medical marijuana card... https://thai.news/news/thailand/thailands-first-digital-cannabis-card-network But I do expect the latest re-criminalization to be as rocky and ham-handed as the first de-criminalization. TiT.

If you don't like the fare, find a different taxi. But if you think any of these rehashed/rebranded ideas are going to somehow now be affected, you probably the same type of person who can't help themselves and change taxis when you don't like the fare.

Netizens, viral-videos, influencers... the madness and selective outrage is beyond ridiculous. Please stop. I beg you.

90 seconds of steamy sex... crazy kids 🤣... and don't worry about destroying Phuket's image... that ship has sailed.

Another shinning example of self-entitled a-hole expat with more money then sense.

Thai bureaucracy and efficiency are mutually exclusive. Same as it ever was...

Well, if there is one thing Thais know, it's what money looks and feels like (all denominations). You might want to try that trick somewheres else.

Porn (online) has always been in the top of internet users browsing history. Nearly everywhere. Sex sells. And the Internet made it accessible to all.

I'm only surprised it took them this long to figure out one of the easier ways to fleece visitors.

Thailand absolutely should do more to screen and track immigrants and tourist alike. But that is diametrically opposed to their "easy visa" approach for the sake of tourist/expat money. Thailand will forever be the land of thieves and smugglers. Easy to get visas, and mixing with the tourist hoards #criminalsdream

Thailand. And next to India and the middle east, the level of disrespect for women, and sexual assaults on females of all ages, is off the charts. Pay attention and open your eyes. You will see.

Worthless idea. Makes about as much sense as pixilating movie scenes that show alcohol. The only person this helps is the person who prints labels.

Not at all surprised. In addition to Thai men being emotionally reactive, they also lack self control.

Thai produced alcohol is already the cheapest alternative as any import is taxed to the hilt. This won't help tourism but if will help Thai beverage companies.

Let you keep the sealed sealed bag at your seat like a regular carry-on.

Has less to to with manufacturer and more to do with how the battery is stored and used. Everyone turns over their devices preflight and they get stored in a fire proof bag sealed and not to be opened. Large batteries get banned completely. Problem solved.

Why? Jealousy, greed, violent psychopathy... All of the above... Who knows. One thing seems certain... There are a lot of crazies in tourist Thailand. Maybe even more than in most other tourist areas.
