a 50% increase... that is not a bit...but the army must be paid for the fake problems at the border, the pocket must be filled of the Government, and nothing of the money will go where it should go...same for the import taxes of all articles from abroad ... greed greed and greed

Real kickboxers and other martial arts are not allowed to use in daily life....Maybe you can check that out...Thai people are very violent.. They smile but that is to hide their real anger

Typical Thai fighting... many to one. THais can't fight man to man it is always 2 , 3 or more against one victim. And this dispute could not be fixed by talking?? Violence is normal in land of smiles..In schools, at home, or mothers hitting toddlers when shopping as the kid wants something... I have seen it many many times, just for nothing or simple actions people here hit. Talk with their hands instead of mouth...

there are no tensions... only elections coming up.... Anutin want to get votes

I know.. Thailand would not even dare to challenge Vietnam.....But Cambodia is an easy target... and used for the elections ....

Sadly Vietnam has no border with Thailand... Otherwise Thailand could make problems too with them... It would be better to invest the money of the border dispute in the tourist sector.. It would do much more good than making problems over an old Khmer/Hindu temple for Buddhistic Thailand

Happily the Peoples Party is not on the list and it shows that the other parties are bringing more troubles to Thailand as their programs are costly and not funded.. No wonder that everything will be taxed more

from 30.8 to 3158... is almost 1 THB.... weakened....

All vendors with stalls or shops claim that the space of the public road is for them and the customers... See it everywhere sometimes blocked with pilons, plastic chairs or other things.. It is public road so everybody has the right to park, although it is in front of their stall if there is free space... In fact the local government should let them pay a huge rent if they want to have the space for themselves or customers.. The RTP however doesn't care about anything and as a foreigner you will always be the one that is wrong.... Clean the pavements and the streets.. The article is clear that it was not the first time that it was not allowed to stall a vehicle in front of his stall

No currency manipulators... but suddenly the THB weakened with more than 1 THB in a few days time....How is that possible?? Thailand thinks they are the best of the world, but they have no idea that the outside world is looking differently to Thailand.. But is not told to the netizens.. Critics and comments are not done

They'll come.. if he means the Orange group, we hope that they will come.... If the he means the army... that can be missed... and BJT we can miss too no problem with that

i am wondering why people do things here in Thailand they never do in their home country... Getr drunk, pee in the sea, no problem but this is just not done.....

The second Liza's... Born from a THai person, grown up and educated in Italy.. No effort for THailand at all, but now it is a part of Thailand to show how good it is... Same in tourists sector.. The Vietnam war brought THailand the tourists.. Did not need to do anything for it...

The best that could happen for Thailand.. The last decades it is very clear that with no changes , the conservative old guard has brought the country down..time to start to enter the 21st century although it will be tough if they can't have the majority of seats...

So a new rule not to do something. It iss ok to give a warning, but with a good administration. There will not be a second warning, but a heavy fine. January is almost over, so just in time to announce that it is from January to March. In fact 1 month...it take years to let people wear a helmets and still 80% don't do it. Same for driving in the opposite direction, overloaded trucks, black fuming cars, speeding, driving in the wrong lane etc etc...nice wordd but reality will be that nothing is been done.

It is surely needed, as there is an outbreak again in India of 2 cases in more than a billion people... I am more afraid of the UK Superflu, which will come with the British tourists, but that is no news....

yes you said before as you always give empty comments.. but explain why is there a ban.. If I buy today a bottle of wine I can go to a restaurant on Sunday , bring my wine and drink it..I don't buy, the restaurant doesn't sell so no problem.. But why the ban than??? explain that to me.. It seems you don't understand

Are these the men/women who should be the normal working police?? as the local police is not doing much except checking tax payments and playing on mobiles...Call them and they will not come to solve the problem, wild fires, too loud music/noise , wrong parkings etc etc

If Thailand would legalize the vaping it could be taxed and would bring a lot of money for the Revenue Dept. and also tourists who like to vape can come to Thailand. Now they stay away as they are fined

If it is not on drinking, what is the use of an alcohol sale/buy ban than??? I buy because I want to drink and you sell because I want to drink... I can buy and sell before the ban, so I can drink, but what is the purpose of the ban than?

And suddenly the THB is weakening now, but the damage is done....And still Thailand doesn't see the importance of foreign tourists. Average spending of THai tourists is 1500 THB a day and foreign tourists 4.700 a day. So Thailand need more foreigners so why don't they treat them as criminals instead of guests? Why make the country so expensive sometimes even more than European destinations, and with the border clashes, and the upcoming elections THailand is not inviting tourists..

There is only 1 game changer and that is the People's Party.. BJT is not reliable and Anutin is corrrupt and conservative.. Changes are needed

To be sure that everybody will vote sober, there should be alcoholtests be available for everybody at every voting station... Why an alcohol ban that does not hold?? I buy a bottle of beer after 11 am on Saturday and drink it Sunday and than I go to vote... How is it being checked??? Besides I am wondering if you want to drink and go early in the morning and do sober your vote you can't drink in the afternoon....You made the crosses already. it is not a day task

That is always a problem.... money in Thailand. I once went to an orphanage, but we could not meet kids as they were at their families... If you help or give money most of the times the money will disappear and the help was useless. Same with winning the lottery, as soon as family and neighbours have knowledge you won a big sum or have some money, everybody will come to ask for help and although they don't say it, for eternity..Never pay back. My experiences have made me that I only give things they need. I buy them for them as with Christmas for example a box with food supplies,,,never cash

I don't blame anybody.... and I am not a part of the problem.. But you have to be sooo very careful nowadays as almost everything said or done is because of "me too" harassment or insulting...
