To whom do you report it? Who enforces this illegality? Would he have to employ a solicitor?

It is possible most are not registered for the TM-30 

Marisa Sukosol Nunbhakdi, president of the Thai Hotels Association, called on the government to legalise unregistered accommodation swiftly to ensure fair competition and sustainable standards.

Im led to believe it's nigh on impossible to obtain a license,

Translation: cheap stay at the expense of other condo owners. We are subsidising their holiday.

How do you work that out?

I think there was a horrifying accident in Rawai Phuket 2 night ago. Apparently Russian on a big bike drove into the back of 2 people ( 1 Thai one Swede ?) killed outright.  Phuket is becoming more and more dangerous.

It was true I live near to there, 3 killed and one badly injured

Good for you and an amazing effort!

 

I didn't share the link, only a screenshot.  

 

Of course there's nothing to stop you searching for the same DOPA link on their website and putting your own ฿2 in, but if you do - that would be more than the remaining apathetic 99.99% of the population would ever consider.

It's not on their web site it was sent out as an email which is applicable to members in Thailand, did it say at the bottom, to be filled out in Thai language. something like that

"an economy increasingly reliant on foreign tourism"

 

No it is completely reliant. 

I remember covid they basically sat around cracking nuts all day, eating rice handouts not knowing what to do with themselves.

What other industry does Phuket have? I certainly haven't seen anything other than domestic tourism.

Phuket was in a coma, I reminded some Thais of that the other week, ok we go back to covid when you had nothing, many had to go back to sticky rice land.

You remember that silly scouser up in Chiang Mai? spray painting that wall, didn't he get binged up and big fine 

And the Governor is worried about the Farang

There is guys out there who sell data, the problem is it gets sold a 1000 times 

Dont waste your money they have no chance, 

There is so many taxi app's here in Phuket, no need to get a taxi, 

There is already a shortage of hotel staff, so they need them and Thais dotn want to work in the kitchens or cleaning rooms, A friend of mine has two trendy restaurants he's paying a good daily wage, he cant get staff,

36 yo Russian on the R1 showing out to his 18 yo Thai cutie, plows into Swede and his Thai wife at top speed. That's the summary as I gather. Tragic and undoubtably avoidable. Stupidity, speed, poor lighting (which is everywhere in Thai at night), slick asphalt roads... a receipt for disaster. Not that it would have mattered much, but I assume not a hemet a worn by anyone. 

That road is well lit, 4 lanes wide with a dual carriage way plus the hard shoulder, plenty of room for both of them, 

They are all over the Burmese like a rash,

Here on the islands we get big bikers in groups of 20 or more coming over from the mainland for weekends I’ve never heard about any of them being stopped or searched but there again the majority are Thai !

I saw 6 the other day going down the tunnel at Chalong
