Get over your handwringing and sobbing. If it is enacted it will be as "racist" as the existing exit tax and any other of the multiple transit taxes people of all races get hit with every time they fly anywhere in the world.

 

How come we don't get 30 odd pages bleating about the racist visa exempt ... oh that's right, it's a form of discrimination that benefits the vast majority of TV membership.

Www I was talking about the charges for visiting attractions when you live in thailand not someone who visits once a year.

It's principal not the money, being charged more because you're foreign is racist and most expats don't like it, I suppose you will say go home if you don't like it, racism has to stop.

I earn 4 or 5 times the average salary in Thailand, I am a visitor, a tourist, I don't pay a tax to contribute to Thai welfare, or upkeep of the the attractions, other than VAT or entrance fee. What amounts to a couple or so thousand baht a year is no issue to me, should I wish to enjoy Thai attractions. There will be many on this forum spending way more than that on one 'attraction' for a week.

Like to add Thailand has enough money to take care of their people with out getting it from tourist if its not so why are they getting involved with space travel.

I'm far from a rich man but 300 baht is not going to have an effect on me, however there will be a cumulative benefit for Thailand

 

I don't begrudge 300 baht in these hard times

you are already paying 600 TB in with your ticket, plus we are made to pay four to five times what a Thai pays to enter many attractions.

UK travellers ‘will not be blocked’ over mutated Covid-19 strain

By The Nation

 

 

Thailand’s measures to control the spread of Covid-19 are strong enough to not warrant special measures against travellers from the United Kingdom, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Thanee Saengrat said.

 

As for the mutated strain of Covid-19 in the UK, she said the British family of four went into 14-day quarantine immediately upon arrival and though they tested positive on Sunday, they had not come in contact with anyone.

 

Meanwhile, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration has said there is no conclusive evidence on how serious this strain of Covid-19 is and there is no information as to whether it is exclusively from the UK.

I have been twice and there 5 star hotels and beaches and the service makes Thailand's hotels look like 3 star, Every morning walk along Cable beach, I think these guys should go and spend a week there,

The other thing is premium tourist will expect clean air. 

some restaurants in Bangkok hold more than that.

premium tourist probably go to the bahamas and not thailand.

The burning of incense in thai homes and temple cannot be good for your lungs all smoke from incense is carcinogenic.
