I guess they need to get honest police prior to any of this otherwise it would just be on the spot fines by RTP that goes straight into the pocket.

Well yes I do but I wasn't aware that meters in Taxis were the law here in LOS, I don't take cabs!!! Well then do random checks and any taxis carrying passengers without a meter running get their licence revoked, pretty simple!

This whole alcohol in restaurants ban is so dumb and reading the latest news headlines about Bangkok astounds me what lengths this country will go to for some rule that's so stupid, stupid because its baselesss!

And if they drink alcohol in a restaurant !!

Its not rocket science and its such an obvious fix, it should be country wide period!

Due to the nature of people and Thai taxi drivers probably no exception the government should make it law that all taxis run by the meter on preset rates like other countries do, this takes human greed out of the equation and everyone is happy, no disputes!!!

Sadly for Thailand and its people their leaders have strangled small & medium business far more than was needed to be effective and continue with fake ideas to do so how ever they can using Covid as an excuse. Its a known fact Generals don't usually make good leaders and Thailand is certainly no exception. They need to find new young blood that's hopefully above corruption and Thailand will hit new highs, if they continue down their current path they will remain a third world nation!!!

Why on earth would the military get involved in Solar energy, they are the military paid by the elected government of the day to defend the country and secure its borders. With the amount of illegal border entries into Thailand they are obviously under performing so can you imagine if they controlled a solar energy farm how that would go!! I guess then the government of the day could then employ some real soldiers to protect the Thai borders whilst the current Thai military look after a solar energy farm! What next Thailand, I guess this is a clear indication of the mindset the Generals currently at the helm!

If the government doesnt lift the alcohol ban in restaurants & hotels come November 1st this would be proof that they have a definite ulterior motive, destroy Thailands tourism and economy with no thought or regard for the business's and the people employed! Its that simple! There is no "sensible" reason to keep the ban in place. Sadly for many bars I do see this as a higher risk area so I suggest in red zones put a curfew on bars and police it, 10pm closing until they feel confident to extend.

I wonder which sector of people were actually interviewed and what their employment status is??? Everyone needs to understand that somewhere along the way the country cannot sustain the status quo and the longer they put off opening the worse the current situation will get, Covid is not leaving us any time soon so live with it, deal with it as it comes and get on with life!!!

Yes agreed with that but lazy party girl or not, the 3 guys have no right to have nonconsensual sex!!!

Well its three on one and the one is claiming the rape offence, I think that sums it up!

Maybe she has a family to feed as well as herself, it seems you are not very aware of the dire economic state of many in Thailand and especially in the personal entertainment industry of hostess's, go go girls, sex workers and the like!!!

There are some rather unsavory comments on here by many which is bloody sad, hostess or whatever sex should only be consensual period!!!

I would say they raped her and then gave her whatever money they felt would maybe keep her quiet but it back fired didn't it!!

If they paid her what was agreed by all parties she wouldn't be reporting the incedent would she!!

There is far too much of these sexual abuse & rape cases, Thailand should look at Singapore in regards to penalties for these offenders. A lady should be able to perform any task she chooses from hostessing to even topless dancing and not be subjected to sexual abuse and rape, obviously many men need to be further educated and subjected to harsh penalties for these crimes. Guys just imagine if this was your sweet young daughter or sister, you would be horrified and feel like catching these offenders and castrating them!!!

I got the joke!!

No - Thailand announced on Friday rules for its Quarantine free reopening etc or are you suggesting that they are the rules only for Friday and will more than likely change weekly for some time to come??

Does anyone know who the 46 countries are and what the exact entry requirements are, we keep getting these broad statements that omit crucial facts and knowing these politicians that's on purpose so they can flip flop when it suits them, SADLY!

Lets hope for the sake of business owners, employees and the people of Thailand these guys for once in this Covid mess get it right, PM says no quarantine then says 1 night etc etc! does he not realise what he is saying and this is absolutely typical of Thai officials. They continually contradict themselves day in and day out which sends the wrong message to people interested in coming to Thailand and makes them look totally inadequate & incompetent. So Mr PM no more quarantine does not mean 1 day so if that's what its going to be then say that right from the start then tourist won't get confused, frustrated and look elsewhere, this is constructive critisism for the benefit of the country and not some stupid farang having a go at you. Then you have Anutin chipping in and saying oh but if the numbers go up we may have to close again, why say this if you really want people to come and if the <deleted> really hits the fan then deal with it at the time instead of negatively predicting what is a possibility. We already know this and so does the rest of world so get positive, make affirmative sensible statements so Thailand can get back to some sort or normality. Take a look at Sweden, Singapore etc etc

Its amazing how discriminating these people are towards foreigners, they want them to come, they want their money, they need their money but they just have to keep sticking the knife into foreigners at any opportunity they get. Has this this guy got a brain or a conscience, Thailand is riddled with corrupt Thais & practices and its understandable that they don't want the same from imports but be a little intelligent and sensitive to what they announce to the global media!

The interviewed people were most likely government workers and others from non tourist related industries that do not depend on tourist income to feed themselves and their families!!!

Absolutely so true, I am watching the Joe Ferrari case as there is obviously a bunch of others in higher placers involved so lets see if he actually is the sacrificial lamb or he takes down some of the rest. If he was a Farang he would already be sentenced with a guilty verdict!!!

Neither can China but they are on the list Morris.
