Don't worry! We are superior. We can do whatever we like in this cheap little country. They need to respect us. ~ New location but the same mindset as when they were at home. -
British Tourist Duped by Nonexistent Hotel on Thai Island
Perhaps2more replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
More like Booking.com was scammed. ~ He was expecting a refund for an Invoice not in his name, no balance shown, no break down price and no number of guests. From the main story; ( He said: "They told me to send them an invoice and they'd pay it, but then they moved the goalposts about. "Booking.com kept asking for changes to be made on the invoice before they could payout. The hotel was booked through "my brother" and Booking.com knew this. "This initial problem with the invoice was 'no balance shown', then it needed a price break down, then it needed to show "the number of guests", then it became an issue about it being in my name, then they promised to solve it if I sent a statement that correlated with the invoice, so I did. So I got a friend in Thailand to keep going to the hotel to ask them to change the invoice to send it to Booking.com but every time I did they would say it's not right. ) -

70 millions of them, so how many you have met, heard of, read about, to make up percentage which you called Most Thais aren't? -

And so the two New Zealanders are in a Thai prison, paying for their karma. -
In your own country, tax system has different rates for different incomes. Local students and foreign students do not pay the same fees. I don't see people complain about that. Buddhist temples in Thailand, for local people, they are places of worship, NOT for sightseeing and National parks are supported by taxes which foreigners do not pay. That is the same idea used for higher fees for foreign students in Europe and the US.

Bangkok airports hit turbulence: Ranked among world’s worst

Invasive scanners used because the management is so corrupt, anything they can spend big money on they will. People watching scanners sometimes look at their colleague and smile. Do they like what they see hidden inside? -
Dual pricing exists everywhere, in Europe between EU citizens and Non EU., in the UK and the US for local resident students and Non local resident students. In Thailand it is about few dollars more for entrance fees to places supported by local taxes but in those countries mentioned they go for few million bahts but not for few dollars.

Nothing new, Thai airline service staff are the same and many Thais have been complaining for years. They usually get better when the airlines are facing bankruptcy. The same go, when foreigners say local Thais are very friendly, it only means friendly to foreigners NOT to their own. ~ Perhaps they just don't like their own kind of face when looking in a mirror. Now they are complaining foreigners are looking down on them. ~ Self-inflicted?

Thai Airways records recovery with US$782 million profit in 2023
Perhaps2more replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They must have been employing many very creative accountants. Having avoided bankruptcy, soon will be getting more loan and then another bankruptcy, the same old pattern as usual. The same old trick the management shamelessly are never tired of. -

Thai Court rejects dual pricing case from expat in Hua Hin
Perhaps2more replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
What do you expect from a military government with the prime minister being told to get out and the court working under the king's order? All of them are blatantly corrupt.
