What to do now

They will tell you because of ongoing construction you need to wear a helmet. After taking the guided tour I did see many Thai and tourist take them off without anyone making a fuss.

Thailand needs to put a strong focus on promoting the things in Thailand that ARE family and tourist friendly. At the same time clamp down hard on any violent or criminal activities from visiting tourist or expats. Banning and jailing any offenders. Until then the global view will be that Thailand is unsafe and only a place for sex tourist. Which is a shame because beyond the "red light " areas Thailand is a beautiful place to visit with some amazing temples,beaches, and landmarks to visit.

It went down 1 point. OMG !Panic time! Geez ... I hope it goes down to 37-38 to usd . I'll start buying up baht. 😆

You move to Thailand , have a dispute with neighbors, get your butt whooped, get fined, almost face jail time, lose your residence. But on the bright side after going nearly broke you can take your butt back home. Alls well that ends well. 😂 Seriously... avoid confrontation with Thai people ...the chances of you coming out on top are slim ...very slim.

Here's a novel thought.. how about actually punishing bad behavior instead of just taking a bribe.

Many of the Thai Temples I have visited have posted THE BUDDHA IS NOT FOR TATTOO OR DECORATION. To each their own I guess. But for me personally I would not get a tattoo of Buddha out of respect for the culture.

A lot to do about nothing. Like almost everything else in Thailand " Government proposes" , in the end it will have poor emplimentation & lack of effort. They literally tell you to just do border runs in this article if you're opening a bank account for stay. Was there supposed to be a "crackdown" on multiple border runs to eliminate this? 😂

I've been saying this should happen. But unfortunately the only thing Thailand seems to go after on a steady basis is if you're a farang not wearing a helmet.
