People can make mistakes, but these are serious ones, as immigration is an Government institution. To treat people like this for a possible mistake they made is a bit too much. Tourists are no criminals...and probably 2 times, and who knows how many times more, which are withold from the news. Shows the incompetence of a tourist destination

As long as the number of tourists goes up no problem .... but what about the earnings for country and businesses??

Always wondering why so many accidents happens on straight roads.. It seems you are nowhere safe, now a coffeeshop, and a shop, but there were restaurants too were people suddenly drive into....In a curve I would understand, but on a straight road??

decent investigation and a autopsy should bring the solutions instead of only speculations as usual

very smart going to sleep in a public area with a lot of money next to you....Why not get rid of it first??

How is it possible with the booming tourism according to TAT. Tourist enough

One of the worst scenario for the country... Everybody knows that Thailand has to change and enter the 21st century. With a moderate conservative party it will never happen as they will stay on the 19th century habits, laws, ways of living. We have example that the Conservative for example delayed constantly the samesex marriage, keep on tight on section 112, and have old ideas that are not of a modern society. Moderate liberal and liberal are far better for the country's sake as the 21st century is more than cellphones, wifi and TV's

Most worry some in this case is that the police thinks....Besides that the Chinese fled the country already I am wondering how can a music teacher get 2,5 million for ransom?? Normally teachers, don't earn so much, probably more in this story than published

In the Thailand they have never heard of work planning. Many times on very busy days the start or just have started works on roads...They need to block everywhere, on the road in the supermarket, on markets, just name it......Thinking is required

They can see ahead?? I think most drivers don't look further than the end of their car.. So many times that they even can't steer to right or left to pass the car in front of them when it is turning into a street or something..They stay behind till the road is free again to drive on..And others need to drive in three lanes switching constantly without looking if it is possible because of slower traffic...Indeed you are right first start to educate them instead of giving a driverslicense...becaus herein lies the problem, no education at all

That are more people than with Covid.... but alas who cares?? surely not the Government who did not do anything about it in the past years, and the ones who makes the fires, forest , ricefields or sugarcanefields, don"t care either

Smart move.... now who wants to stay for 45 days have to leave and come back... Counting again for the tourist numbers and so we can get our goal this year.

Rip to the unnecessary deceased... When is the Government start doing something... restrictions on hours, cards with drive hours and rest periods in the car, enforcement of speeding by placing more cameras and higher fines, better checks for alcohol and driverslicenses etc etc.... By nothing nothing will change

Public area??? I thought that belongs to the city, so why not give pieces of land for a good rent to the beach bed and umbrella so they can earn a living pay for the permission, and tourist can sit in the shade... Everybody happy

Maybe same system as in comic shows.... peep, boing, toing....and of course to control ....

Normal as a a judge in Hua Hin some time back approved the overcharging for a Dutch National for the same treatment as Thai, with the reason that foreigners have more money....So if you can't fight this kind of discrimination, you have to accept or go to another country. But in the meanwhile Thailand wants to be promoted as the hub of healthcare...

Every foreigner intoxicated nowadays?? It is in almost every story

Thailand is for Thai only, and foreigners are only good to send their money in businesses or tourists... In the world Thailand is not big player.

With the ordination they throw away money as a symbol that they don't need money, as in Buddhism the people are taking care of the monks for food and things they need. How is it than possible than several monks are so very rich? What is the use the throw some money away but with the other hand receiving thousands of THB?? Is That Buddhism? This is an example of how Buddhism not should be . I don't understand any religion btw.

Rotten to the core and a big reform is needed for this organization.... They need people who know the laws, enforce them, work, and are not corrupt, although the latter is another issue..

In Thailand everything is money related... So you have to be careful with everybody, sooner or later they can ask for borrowing money and never pay back.. Many stories about people who were scammed....

How is it possible to enter?? surely he did not walk from The Netherlands

Why only urge people not to drink with Songkran or New Years holiday and why not during all the other days instead of stupid commercials and shows on TV??

just a lack of common sense..

Russians??? I think if they are Ukrainians whose house is bombed they don't have the money to come to Phuket anymore.....
