  1. That should help bring back the high spending tourists you so desire !
  2. Thailand tariffs on US goods are currently 72 %. I say they got off lightly ! Looking forward to getting more baht for my £ 🤣
  3. Oh dear ! - looks like AI is now writing your news stories.
  4. Speaking for Phuket - The stench of weed and the anti -social losers it's attracting, choking on air pollution in the best months of the year, Baht kept artificially high whilst prices continually rise, the abandoned Condo's of corrupt developers lying everywhere whilst Infrastructure crumbles, clogged and highly dangerous roads and Russian gangsters taking over the place. Are you really surprised ?
  5. Most visitors here spend most of their days on the beach. When is a beautiful beach not a beautiful beach ? In high season, when it's covered in sun loungers and in low season, when it's covered in trash that no one local is prepared to clean up.
  6. Unroadworthy vehicles, never passed a test, speeding, jumping red lights, drunk driving, no lights, no License, but no problem ! Concentrate on big issue, falang no helmet. 1000 baht fine. If you want receipt you have to come police station - maybe wait 3 hour !
  7. If you don't deal with the Toxic pollution that has been greying the skies for the last 3 months you won't be attracting anyone ! This is a serious public health hazard, yet every day we still see garden fires, black smoke bellowing from exhaust pipes and little control of agricultural burning.
  8. War on Vapers whilst black smoke bellows from exhaust pipes, toxic waste burns in gardens everywhere and agricultural burning creates a choking cloud above the country ? Thai logic I guess ! Don't try arguing with that !
  9. Agricultural burning, thick black smoke bellowing from unroadworthy vehicles and garden fires burning toxic waste every evening. If you do nothing at all about any of this then don't be surprised at the damage it is doing. Still, with any luck it will keep the idiot tourists away and condo prices will come crashing down. Suits me !
  10. When the Governments own land office charges 10,000 baht Special Land Officer Fee - 'if you want it done without problem' then there really is no hope.
  11. Being soft on Criminals has been the scourge of the UK. Carry on as you were Thailand and don't allow this namby-pamby approach to attract undesirables. Fed up of being embarrassed by fully grown fellow countrymen who cant behave themselves - Drunken Brit smashes up 7-11 / Stoned Brit crashes motorbike into crowd / brawls with security guards / British man Robs tourist / abuses children.
  12. Don't bring it back to Thailand luv, the Taxman will now be after you !
  13. 6 months in a Thai Jail should make him see the error of his ways ! - No need to blacklist him. I doubt he'll ever want to come back. 🤣
