The comments are more about the later situation and inspection/monitoring of what activity is taking place/is it being used as originally licensed/certified etc.

OK, but how much 'subtle' pressure was in the whole situation to push for agreement to take the ride and therefore revenue for the elephant own and the INFLUENCER / the tour guide?

Why not, that's their job and if they discover and don't tell then they are derelict in heir duties/responsibilities and should be punished.

My Thai son's house, plans clearly marked for a 3 phase connection in the kitchen (electric oven and 4 point electric cook top). House completed, development company 'inspector' signs that all items on the plan have been satisfactorily completed, electrics mentioned. Son buys package of kitchen appliances, seller sends 'qualified technician* to install all the appliances. *Turns out he is a Thai gualified elctrician. Technician tells son that the outlet in the kitchen (in fact all outlets in the kitchen) are basic wiring; there is no 3 phase. Son calls development company, office girl tell son 'oh that's not allowed in Thailand'. Son demands a meeting with a senior person from the development company. Now there's a list of excuses/reasons why 3 phase not fitted, but very little concern. Son demands an answer as to when 3 phase will be fiited and a guarantee that there will be no extra charges. Takes weeks and daily push from son to get it completed. Development company now claims that it's illegal to bring other technicians/electricians on site to confirm there is 3 phase and it has been installed correctly and safely. Son refuses to make final payment for the house and land and tells dev. company he has put the whole situation in the hands of his well known lawyer. Suddenly a call from snr. mngr. of the dev. company inviting son to quickly bring a licensed/qualified electrician on site and full cooperation for this person to check all the wiring. Small additional point, It's now discovered there's 2 power outlets fitted in other ooms that are not connected to any wiring. Word spreads, other owners now demanding further checks on the electrics fitted in their houses, and some work done to fix problems exposed.

My understanding is that free boosters (Moderna) are available for Thai and foreigners at Airport Plaza on Saturdays and Sundays. Can someone please confirm whether this is correct. Thanks.

Can any member share some specific fully correct and up to dat information as to these subjects here in Thailand. Absolutely NOT looking for opinions of what 'should be', looking for factual details of the current laws, etc. Thanks for sharing.
