Thai Buddhism is not the real Buddhism...It is a mixture of all kind of religions. That is probably why monks act different than real Buddism monks.

Friends are coming to Thailand on a holiday and I informed them already to stay away from Phuket and Pattaya. It are not the places to be in Thailand

Thai democracy.... get rid of all the ones who think not the same as the army, the elite and coup makers

Thailand the land for tourists....

Just see what this woman has to deal with now.. If it is written in the contract she doesn't violate the labour laws of Thailand... Thailand is not the normal world

Singapore on 6th place??? If there is a luxury airport surely Changi is one of the best.. and CdG in Paris even higher ranked?? Sorry we were there a2 years ago and it was a normal airport. The lounges I don't know as I am just a normal traveler.. So again a fake news item just to feel good and try to solve the bad image of Suvarnabhumi

A need for updating the labour laws, as it is now the 21st century... ion fact what is the problem if you have guests and you bring them to the airport and you have a workpermit... Maybe they should write in her contract that it is a part of her job to do that, but in fact most Western people are used to do more than their job. That is common in the Western world, always go the extra mile, but here in conservative Thailand they don't understand as a lot of people don't even can do their job. Laziness and no problem are normal here

It is a bit questionable.... Yesterday there was apparently a few days between death of both bodies..Decent investigation could clarify things, but easiest way is what is written above

No change is no progress too...I know Thailand is very conservative, although they pretend to be a modern country

It was on the news this morning.. She was driving wrong and hit the motorcycle from behind. The man was upset and spit on her frontscreen. The police told the woman that she was wrong but she did not accept that and the RTP made excuses to the Australian man and she did not agree.. Just typical Thai style.. They never are wrong

International Hotel Management???? Not a degree in politics? Just because she went with her father and was brainwashed she knows??

You ever applied for a workpermit here??

It only shows that there is an outdated system...Labour laws should be updated and the company knows what they were doing, but apparently they are not the one to blame.. Besides that I think every normal thinking person, knows that young people can't have a long stay here without doing anything. They have to live and need money. Russians for example are fleeing Russia, but they need money and try to get a workpermit in Thailand. It cost a lot of time mostly 3 months and the company have to give a lot of information/papers.. No wonder they don't want to do it for the employee. Besides that long term visa holders should get automatically a workpermit. They are not tourists. Also the retirees.. What does Thailand think people are sitting the whole day on a chair and do nothing?? Even working as a volunteer is not allowed. Every job needs a workpermit... Time for changes

I think that AI will be stressed and crash...

We have built every square meter with houses, shops, restaurants but we have never thought there would be traffic and they need parking space.. Where can find a parking space in Bangkok?? Besides that Thais park their car where they want even in curves, or at white/red blocks before the traffic lights and even the police doesn't enforce anything or do the same.. Seen many times here in my place

Thais cry fool if they think that other countries are mistreating them, but look what they do with the foreigners here.....Did Dubai deport them all and put them in jail too??

Maybe they first can explain what tourists are.... tourists come to a country for a few weeks to relax.. Long term tourists however what are they coming to do, as they are not allowed to do anything than having a beer between 11 and 14 and after 17.00 and visit attractions and do some shopping... That is very boring..

The best thing in the story is that the employer is not being charged, as he is the one who have in fact provide the paperwork for a workpermit and have to know that every non-Thai needs a workpermit. As i said in previous posts the witch hunt on foreigners will do no any for tourism..Short sighted of Thailand

What freedom has Thailand??? explain please.. Indeed several years back it was good but nowadays????

I know just to say that foreigners come here to make money is ridiculous... and Thais are going workin in other countries because they pay more.. and often they work illegally.. Look at Korea, now Saudi Arabia, and I know people in Europe too... So a few foreigners who do something here have to work that a Thai can't do and that is almost impossible to find and than they get a low payment according to Western standards..

I know the history but maybe you can read abit more about the WOII on the internet.. The Germans were angry at a certain population as they thought they were stealing their jobs. It became a real problem that all Jews had to destroyed..

in the West you can earn more than here in Thailand.. O the difference is it is here cheaper to live so probably it seems to have more money.. But be fair in the West foreigners earn far more than 35.000 THB for being a teacher.. But here in Thailand it seems a lot of money

12.000 Thais working illegally in Saudi Arabia..... But no mention of that here

Let them pay for using the footpaths and make strict rules, but as we all know there will be no enforcement, except for foreigners, that is why it is a mess all over the country

Thai people see the mote in the foreigners eyes, but don.t see the beam in their own. It is just getting to look like a witchhunt, or even what the Germans did before the second World War... blame a group and prosecute and deport them. And that in country that pretents to be welcoming retiring people, tourist and expats...
