Yes that is true but you cannot sell it without their approval so they wait until you die and it stays with the family.

Of all the illegal activities carried out by Thai's in places of office & authority and they have these rediculous alcohol laws along with many others.

Well the land as you probably know will be in her name so for many of us foreigners married to Thai ladies this has gone badly! I hope yours doesn't!

More rediculous exaggerated arrivals & predictions from TAT but there are a few "wally's" on here who totally swallow their rubbish! This years low season started early and despite July picking up and this month looking good the next 4 months are not looking great and there are many reasons why. By the end of this month we will have had the best 4 months in this year being Jan, Feb, March & August with approximately 10M arrivals so the other 8 slower months are not going to yield anything like triple that number. Hopefully December will be good but current bookings dont suggest that.

You mean skirmish between Chinese national and police !!!! The media is very obviously pro Chinese given nearly every other news report on a foreign person in Thailand thats involved in something illegal are named by their country of origin but when its a Chinese national its a "foreigner"

For you to think for 1 second why you supposedly feel the details cannot be released is a reflection of your intelligence and the level of your integrity. Even the uneducated in Thailand know exactly why you made this statement!!!

Just another example of why Thailands visa system is antiquated and completely ineffective. 90 day reports obviously mean nothing except it gives all those immigration paper shufflers something to do.

I am not sure if that is good news or bad!! What did the previous government really do in the last 9 years??? They never addressed corruption, only contributed to to it. They never addressed road safety, just talked about it. They made many counter productive actions during covid which were detrimental to the economy. They changed the constitution in a very underhand way to keep the military controlling the senate. I could go on and on about what they shouldn't have done and what they just didn't do that they should have. Very sad for the Thai people and now because of their underhanded actions the voice of the people is not being adhered to because of their intentionally devious actions just to keep their filthy snouts in the trough. They are the reason why their is currently no government, for them it is a military controlled regime or chaos so they can stage just another coup!

Given the amount of Chinese associated crime in Thailand why wouldn't you screen them prior to allowing them into the country. I wonder what happened to the quest for "high end" tourists and big spenders for Thailand???

A picture tells many stories!

Yes correct, boats that size mostly have large engines, sometimes 1, sometimes 2, rarely 3. Google Wartsila marine engines, probably the most efficient marine engines and some are very large!

Its not unusual for boats to have one engine, quite common actually.

In view of what the Junta government did and did not do while in power nothing comes as a surprise! You only have to look at the region, west, east, north and northeast and all these countries are not democratic, all have military controlled governments including Thailand.

I find these figures quite hard to believe to be honest, we had a relatively busy high season where hotels & villas reported good occupancy rates as well as wholesale food & beverage suppliers had good sales. Everyone I have spoken with saw a noticeable decline after Songkran and both reported poor sales in June with a slight upturn in July so these figures claim similar numbers each month. I would have to now believe like many that the figures are fudged!

I never published the article so maybe you should ask the publisher.

June is low season or have you forgotten, Jan, Feb & March were the highest monthly numbers, last week I read a news clip stating how pleased they were with the 12M as of June 30th.

They were already released as 12M as at June 30th

So what about the recently published statement, 12 million as of June 30, 2023 and now in July we get another 3 million ???

Well done Thailand, this scumbag should be castrated and left to bleed to death. Thailand you should hang your head in shame but you wont because you might miss out on a few Baht!!!!

Remember LOS is the land of many Coups so nothing would surprise me, the military just cannot help themselves and they want their snouts firmly in the trough, they have got away with it in the past so why not keep trying!!!

Its a hell of a story but it is possible that he is only tell some of it. Why did he need to come to LOS to trade crypto when all you need is an internet connection? and leave his family behind! But Thai media often get the story wrong and or leave out vital pieces of information so only he and the fine upstanding RTP know the full story if there is more to it.

What a joke, the Thai police are so bloody hypocritical. Looks rather mild to me, so what if was live streaming, it doesnt look obscene to me and rather mild compared to what I have seen going on in BKK thats open to whoever wants to watch!

why am I not surprised that the GF said nothing!!!!

That's sounds like very biased reporting to me, quite obviously the democrats control CNN!!!

I would hope that once Pita becomes PM he will intervene in cases like these, the illegally instated Burmese Junta are murdering people on a daily basis in Myanmar and gutless hypocritical Thai people in power have no voice of disapproval. Prayut should be bent over and you know what for remaining silent on this issue. If he had any integrity he would have openly voiced his disapproval of the Burmese juntas brutality against its citizens who in 2010 & 2015 overwhelmingly voted the junta from power with an almost 80% landslide victory. In 2020 almost 1 million scholars sat the higher eduction exam, in 2022 less than 200,000 so Myanmar as a nation is going backwards fast under the current illegal Junta.
