Did they include wine, BKK must be number 1.

Never a truer word spoken in jest.

I lived in Tokyo for some time. Wine is very expensive there, but it is all great quality and so reasonable value. I will not drink wine here.....paying 1000 baht for some crappy undrinkable plonk is not my idea of a good time.

I do hope this is temporary and that we will enter a deflationary spiral very soon ????

Good move Bangkok Hospital. Apart from price gouging you have discovered another potential sourced of money. Maybe we can help to make Thailand become the hub of COVID 19 infection?

I wonder where these will come in the priority list of people coming to Thailand. 

Sometimes, I am so glad I extended my visa for a year in February. I have avoided all the anxiety of partial and incorrect information.

God, I wish they would do this in my town. Impound the bikes and crush them as well. Pig ignorant people riding round on crappy Honda Waves with a straight through exhaust sounding like an F16 taking off at midnight. 40 or 50 of the buggers. We have asked the police about it. I even offered to pay the wages of the police for a road block from 10pm till 12pm. They are considering it.

I would never go into an attraction that asked me to pay 200 baht when the local is only charged 20 baht. I used to show my drivers licence and get in for the Thai price but those days are long gone.

I don't shop where I cannot see the prices clearly displayed either. It's racist, pure and simple. 

Grow up UK. You lost HK in 1997. After 147 years of colonial rule HK was not a democracy but run by a governor appointed in the UK with dictatorial powers. You kettles and pots and all that. It really is a bit rich to be all for democracy now isn't it? Hypocrites. 

Well Dominic Raab, let's see what Britain looks like with 3 million new citizens, that the Tories let in. I promise you it will not go down well with the electorate no matter how many lies you tell.

Prawit is a toad. Somkid is about the only one in government that seems competent.

Fully booked for 5 days - wow......

 

Did they remember to adjust the entrance fee for foreigners ?  ++850%

I will never go to Khao Yai again. It used to be that with a Thai driver's licence they would let you in at the Thai price.....but not any more. State sanctioned racism.

It might have been a prudent idea to open schools first for a couple of months before opening the bars.

I think this is a good idea. If there is a flare up/hot spot on one of the Islands then the island can be shut down quickly and effectively.

This makes me sick. Can the government not see that this blatant injustice can be seen all over the world. The guy went to every F1 event every fortnight for the last 8 years. Shameful. Shame on the RTP. How can people respect the police when you do this sort of stuff?

I don't like these horrible noisy things. Thailand needs some laws on noise pollution....it is getting ridiculous when every Honda 50 has a straight through, after market, exhaust that makes it sound like a jumbo jet taking off. 

Let's face it any ad coming from any politician is going to based on lies and should not be shown.

I would be pleased to see Face Book go bankrupt. I see little merit in this phenomenon where everybody stares at their phones all day long. In fairness looking at your phone 24/7 in lockdown probably helped to pass the time, but can we not have something more edifying that this narcissistic nonsense?

For goodness' sakes, what is going on in Britain? It is falling apart by trying to become a mini-America by taking on American values? Is this a terror attack? It seems similar to the Reading attack.....knife and all!

I have a question. I have been told each family can grow up to 5 cannabis plants. Is this true or a lie. Does anybody really know?

Lately as I've been checking in at places, lines of people just walk past me without checking in or scanning their phone app. 

 

I wonder if people are complacent after seeing 31 straight days of zero cases of Covid 19 in the country?

I have never seen this....

Once you taste absolute power, as Prayut enjoyed under section 44, it is very difficult to have to go back to persuading people to do things, instead of ordering them. We seem to be headed for a 'democratic' government with permanent emergency powers? One wonders how this is different than a dictatorship, having said that, Prayut has done a wonderful job with he coronavirus and credit where it is due. I'm less sure about him having emergency powers forever. 

A similar thing happened to my wife before I met her. She had been sending the family money to pay mortgages on 3 properties for which she had a taken a mortgage of about 3 million baht. The family stole all the money. They sold one property, and the bank reclaimed the other two in 1996. Ten years later in 2006 the bank claimed that the sale of the properties had not raised enough money to cover the original debt plus 20% pa interest. She was sued for 10 million baht or so. 

The judge froze her passport so she couldn't travel at all and she was in bankruptcy court for about 6 years. She could not own anything at all during that period. It was very inconvenient. Eventually after semi-annual court appearances the debt was discharged but of course the whole court thing of hiring a lawyer and so many appearances, cost a lot of money.
