  1. Good. Don't come. Mass tourism sucks. Go wherever it is you think is better. The only legit complaint is higher prices, really. But that's happening everywhere (to one degree or another). And if you can't figure out entry requirements (visas, VOA, VER) and entry forms (TDAC), maybe you shouldn't travel. Everything else in this article is just the same recycled blather... Duel pricing, cleanliness (which Thailand never was nor will be), infrastructure (which has always been substandard by western stds.), and fear of cannabis (which is just boomers and their reefer madness nonsense).

    There would have to be a return to flying to the USA, and it just isn't happening. The route is not viable.

    All that Thailand is doing is  enforcing the applicable rules. nothing has changed except now  they want to see all liquids in one bag.

    As others who have been flying have pointed out, as new  3D scanners  are introduced in the UK and the EU, the limits are being increased significantly. Thailand is still using the old US style  scanners. 

     

    THAI used to fly a non stop to LA. I could see that returning now that the FAA has upgraded Thailand's airport

  3. Here is a controversial idea... make missed 90 reporting an offense on par with overstay, then make presenting the TM47 receipt AND passport mandatory (pdf and photos acceptable) for all sorts of mundane reasons (checking into a hotel, requesting bank services, obtaining a SIM card, booking tickets, boarding planes/trains/ferries, etc.) -- no more using Thai DL... watch the number of overstays decrease significantly.

  4. Yet, Thailand has everyone conned that their medical capabilities are 1st class (hub of medical tourism). Can't have it both ways. If a Thai who relo to UK wants to brings his Thai dad to UK for treatment, that's a testament to Thai medical capabilities. Then again if it's not plastic surgery, maybe Thai medical capabilities really are not all that.  Else, this is just a halfbaked sob story.

  5. This country is so trapped by myths and superstition that it's no wonder their education system gets poor grades. Not to mention they allow anyone to drop out after grade 9. And nothing will change as long as the people in charge first reaction is to question the survey methodology (stop blaming the messenger). This is not the first, nor will it be the last, time the education system in this country has been criticized.  Wake up or stay dumb it seems. You want to solve... Make education free for all through grade 12, build better schools, hire better teachers (and stop blindly praising them just because they are teachers - most are mediocre at best), and use better text books.
