Bad reviews can definitely have a negative impact on business and even when the establishment is the victim of an unreasonable customer Google and Trip advisor will not remove the review. Personality conflicts often influence these reviews and have no real indication of whether the establishment in question is a good prospect or a bad one. I have a restaurant and had a situation where a lady requested a table for herself and a very loudly screaming child, she was politely asked if she could control the Childs behaviour which she replied she could not so she was refused a table, she gave me a terrible review which has no bearing on the quality of my food, service & value for money which is what review's are supposed to indicate.

Control cannabis use through laws, the law is only enforced in Thailand when there is a financial advantage for those enforcing! They cannot even enforce motor bike riders to wear a Helmut so their chances of controlling the use of cannabis is pie in the sky stuff, when there is a personal financial advantage then things happen in Thailand!

Yes Covid probably was the biggest scam after events like the World Trade centre followed by the Iraq invasion & I suppose the assassination of JFK was pretty up there as well! Remember JFK was not prepared to commit troops to Vietnam, he did roll back the gold standard, he wanted to normalise relationships with Cuba & Russia etc which did not suit the narrative of those around him including his VP.

So true, so much BS!

You really feel Anutin is the next best thing ??????

I couldn't agree more but the Thai investors are also only interested in the $$$$ and have no thought for the disgrace that is being carried out by the illegally instated junta army, you cannot call them a government because they just are pure crooks & murderess's!!!

If Thailand as Myanmars immediate neighbor had any ethics it would vito the illegally imposed BS Junta government in Myanmar who are crooks, thieves and murderer's! They are there to rape, pillage, suppress & murder the Burmese people & deny them of any sort o a normal life. Their crimes are endless and disgraceful yet several countries & their neighbours like Thailand, China & India, as well as Russia & Iran are supporting this atrocity purely for their own financial gain, another disgrace against humanity!!!

Of course the deputy will vote against it, its his cash cow and what drives Thai people more than $$$$$ - nothing!!

It really depends on what type of environment you are seeking for a holiday, I would say both destinations have their attractions despite being opposites!!

Those that want to drink alcohol during this time including Buddhist's will stock up so all its really affecting is the businesses like bars & restaurants and the tourism trade which Thailand is trying to promote! Obviously all the mom & pop shops and those illegally selling will benefit given the corrupt mind set in Thailand so all this religious ban really does is promote the illegal sales of alcohol and all the law abiding business's loose out! "Just another hypocritical rule that makes no sense"

The hypocrisy of the Thai authorities will never change.

You back on those lemons Lou??

Probably another convenient Burmese scape goat!!

Typical insensitive Thai reporting!!!

No problem with me, I understand what you are saying about the cute asian girls but given the crime its a bit of a sensitive issue.

That's a rather unsavoury statement Bob!!!

I haven't seen the video but according to the article the foreigner was asian looking! "The foreign man, who spoke in an American accent but had the look of a Chinese man"

"The foreign man, who spoke in an American accent but had the look of a Chinese man"

Anutin has a substantial invested interest in the industry so his comments to be expected!

Yes they will & when they are unservicable where will they be disposed?? Our children will look back on this EV era and shake their heads in disbelief.

Well guess who controls the power supply in Laos, the same place where cheap EV's are coming from!

This is what this forum should be about, helping others!!!

When will Thailand drag itself into the 21st century??? They lift the alcohol sales ban at airports, why not at all major tourist destinations. Tourist are here to enjoy themselves and for many that includes having a few drinks which has nothing to do with religious holidays. Also the rediculous 2 - 5pm alcohol sales ban, it acheives nothing thats makes any sense!

Yes absolutely correct but that is what the authorities here always do in Thailand, its pie in the sky stuff but it feeds their ego's!! I was only repeating what they published and they are claiming 48.95m international arrivals.

Of these, 48.95 million were international travelers, and 32.09 million were domestic passengers. Total 81m arrivals!
