Are you talking about tempels and national parks - think again.

But of course you are talking about sex as a Thai way to escape poverty.

Hahahahahahahahah 'to escape poverty' ????? You mean for designer clothes, latest iphone, new shoes,  pay rent, try to land a rich farang, buy a new motorbike, and the list goes on.

I would not begrudge this 300 Bath if they use most of it to cover people like myself that are over 75 years old and cannot get health insurance because of age and maybe past health problems ,who just can't get insurance cover.  Thailand has wanted for a long time , to make every one,  including Tourist and Visa exempt , buy insurance , so if that happens ,myself and many others , now and in the future , will not be having a holiday in Thailand .          Regards,,,,,   Popa                                                         

Stay at home is my advice. You can't get insurance cover because you are a bad health risk.Chances are you are riddled with infirmities. Insurance is not for the benefit of people hahahh. It is for the profitability of the insurance company Silly!! You have it base over apex.

exactly. I just read a study where they say 25% of folks in the U.K. are fixing their own teeth, so maybe the 300 seems like a lot to those. IMO travel will become more expensive going forward so many of those on the cusp of affording it will be out of the picture entirely.. 

I can't be happier. Hope they permanently stay out of Thailand.

Yeh that figures - even misers with their own teeth. So why would old misers come to Thailand anyhow ? surely it's not just for the cheap pi ss.

Will the person's who drew up the scheme take up responsibility for the drop in tourists due to it.. 

How can they ??? No tourists at the moment. Maybe ask them in a year when all tourists will gladly pay 300 baht to get in again (except those that had their feeling hurt and elect to stay at home in an act of defiance). Yes, will the whingers raise their hands now !! You may stay at home. More cheap 'everything' for us that are not misers and whingers.

And yes T.V serves as a board for official government announcements.

As a first step in the abolishment of this mad forum, you could stop posting.

And to answer your question "Clear now ??" it is not clear to me what you mean with "And yes T.V serves as a board for official government announcements."

 

PS. I looked up "tantie" - couldn't find it. Maybe babytalk for tantrum?

Bye now baby. .

The prediction was 300 X 10 000 000 = 3 000 000 000 - going where?

 

And in the next years several times that, as tourists will flood in again.

Who cares where. Are you the self appointed Thai minister for finance. Just pay up cheerfully.

So you want to close TVForum?

Or use it only as a board for official government announcements?

 

 

 

Answer: Yes, I want to close this mad forum so that sookies stop stamping their feet and throwing tanties like little children. And yes T.V serves as a board for official government announcements. Clear now ??

what country can anyone can tell with  any sense of certainty what  politicians will do  with taxes? Why single Thailand? 

Personally Id rather see taxes making a politician rich , than killing people in other countries. 

Unbelievable !! A whole thread with mostly old whingers being incensed about paying 300 Baht. Birds of a feather indeed ... as if an open forum is going to alter the course of the decision made by the Thai government. Take more of your medication guys >> it might make a difference to your lame attitudes.

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.

Yeh sobbing indeed. Oh these precious entitled farangs !! Some just like to whinge for the sake of whinging. You'd have more of a chance negotiating a better deal with a bargirl that the Thai government. But I guess some would rather save the 300 and play with their own piddlers instead hahahah.'Thou shalt pay up the 300 baht cheerfully' lest you get you ar se kicked out  and sent back home where you belong.

I’d like to propose a couple of questions to you 473geo...

 

- Do you believe money from this 300b fund will NO|T end up in the pockets of some making this decision?

- Do you believe this decision was NOT influenced by this potential to ’skim’ a little off the top?

 

 

 

Who cares !!! Pay up or ship out.

Again, this is not about a few more bahts, it is about where the money will end up.

What a ridiculous analogy - It's none of anyone's business where the money goes. You don't have ANY control where any money goes. PAY UP buddy !!

Completely agree, if they had just added it to the price of the ticket and kept quiet, nobody would have noticed the $10 increase. 

If the government is collecting the fee in cash, it will be turning away tourists very quickly. Standing in line before or after immigration, is not really how most people want to start a vacation or business trip. Word gets around on social media fast.. 

 

But the thought process is still mind boggling.  Who would make it even more difficult to visit?

$10 will the effect of turning away tourists ??? That's funny - joke of the year.

To the uninitiated first time tourist to Thailand who will be unaware of the various levels of money extortion the 300 baht will be of little concern . Tis only when you get to know the country and along with the deserved cliche       " Money Number One "  that it becomes annoying .  Sadly the importance of money is deeply ingrained  within the Thai culture and comes before family love as many an expat has found out to his cost .

This 300 baht will mean nothing to the 2 week millionaire sex tourists who lets face it make up the majority of the Thai tourism .

This is a country that thrives on corruption and us expats are knowingly contributing by being here .

Oh My Lord. Don't start crying !!! Fact : the 10 million coming are cuming for tenderness. Fact: Money is king everywhere.

Whats the big deal, many countries still have enrty fees or pay for visa on entry. If people cry over a $10 entry fee, they shouldn't even get on a plane.

Yes, true enough . they can play with their own willies instead.

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

A measly ten bucks for 'promotion' as well as insurance. Only an imbecile will complain

The Astra Zenneker Vaccine was developed in Oxford UK but it is manufactured in bulk in Thailand it is the one being used now in the UK and has 95% effectiveness (perhaps more) which is the maximum so far, It must be given in 2 doses 12 weeks apart to maximise it's effectiveness therefore this purchase is for the first dose in 10 weeks time they will make another purchase for the second dose

Yes, correct. It is also manufactured in Australia (under license). Quite different to giving a license to the Chinese Communist party. No one in their right minds would do that.
