look around and see how many expensive cars are driving around, and that with a population that 75% don't pay taxes...My Thai partner is even wondering where the money of some people come from....Why do you think the household debts are so high??? Probably they never can pay it back..Open your eyes an you see the problems

So still manipulating by unreasonable exchanges between different currencies.... USDx THB x any currencyx x USD.... America and Thailand rule the currencies....hard to believe, as when I make a transfer from my account in Europe I get a rate that is not made by EUR x USD first... believe me

The USd is only 1 currency... there is GBP, Euro, and other currencies too... not mention of that besides the interest is rising all over the world, which is used to control the inflation..My opinion is too much narrow minded thinking...I am sorry but not the whole world is hanging on the USD....and why is the THB watched than if it is so easy as you pretent it is...

I understand it very well ..... for me it seems that you try to find an excuse for the interventions, manipulations or whatever you call it of the THB exchange rate...based on nothing except looking important.. explain please why the inflation is so low in Thailand compared with the rest of the world.. explain why , as you earlier said the opposite that Thai exporters were happy with the strong THB, the exporters now complaining about the expensive THB.... you admitted than already that there is manipulation. Explain why the THB several years back was weaker than now, while there has been a global economic slow down.... Thailand manipulate everything as we can see in Covid numbers, tourist arrivals, spendings etc.. and an increasing household debt. And not lons ago the banks were even lower rated... that are facts were the THB not on respond...

It is surely the BOT that has a hand in the THB ... you can write what you want but look bad news makes the THB stronger instead of weaker.. How can anyone explain that?? .. Indeed the people with money will profit as they will buy the cheap THB now and when the rate collapse they are the winners.. Nothing to do anything you say I am sorry.. In the previeous times when tourism and economy were florishing the THB was traded for 40THb and now with the struggling of Thai tourism sector and the declining export the THb is too expensive..

What a bullsh..

Soft power to attrack more tourists.... Motor rentalshops will be happy too as their business is being ruined.... It is no problem that the RTP is doing is, but why not first check all the Thais and make them to have a driverslicense and wearing a helmet....Than it would be fair.. I have to think that here they see a splinter in someones eyes instead of the bar in their own eyes

Everybody in THailand should fill in a tax form.. easy to control what their earnings and possessions are.. Sombody who claims to earn only 10k a month can't afford a millions THB worh house and luxury car(s), unless they have some other income... It could takle corruption and bribe more easily

I am wondering what kind of education and resources the people who make this kind of decisions have.. In the Western news I read that flying is getting more and more expensive just to reduce flights and discourage peope to fly but find other ways of transportation. All because the impact of the enviroment and climate change... I am wondering what these people knolw about tourism in general.. If I read stories in past weeks, about taxi scams, tour scams, rip off by police officers, the draconian laws about alcohol and just freedom in general as the country is very conservative, and last but not least the opinon of some politicians about foreigners in general..there is a long way to go to recover this sector. Most tourists come for a few weeks to relax and enjoy.. and long term residents contribute a lot to the Thai economy too. Appriciate what these people do, make things easier for them to live here and being a part of the community, Thailand will benefit more than, instead of all kind of rules only for the foreigners. Update your country instead of living in 19 th and 20th century, and become a modern 21st century where everyone want to be and live happily.. Than you can ghink about 200 million arrivals, but not now

Huhhhh????

Overpriced "official" taxis are complaining??? Maybe time to change their own behavior... and the so called foreign taxis, are maybe familymembers who take their friends of visiting family to their home or drive around for sightseeing....and than they are no taxis....

So it seems time to end the mask wearing.. announce it....and who has thought that Chinese tourists would be more infected?? same as during the pandameic.. Numbers are unreliable...The only thing that I believe is that Covid cases are less

and the THB rising and rising... till it is too expensive and the economy will suffer the consequences

No show up, no payment would be much better nowadays.... They have a job to fullfill and if they don't do it,they don't need the payment too....

How can you function if the MP deliberately boycot all meetings... Don't pay them and dissolve the house

Just name the touroperator and the punishment will be done automatically by the public....

I wonder how much need to be paid...

That is why I keep most of my money outside Thailand

Soft power to attrack more tourists... no scams in Thailand.... and as they write...."The tourist said to local Thai media that they were upset with relevant authorities that they have asked for help." again good promotion for all parties... touroperators and RTP..... Stories like this are being told when they come back from holiday to family and friends.... promotion of Thailand as wonderful country???

Hmmm.. Pattaya, boat problems, Phi Phi and now Phuket.... 300 THB entrance fee per 1st of June to invest in tourism....A long way to go

20.000 THB seems a lot of money for Thai people, but Westerns often have more valuable items.. A luxury watch and bag, gold and diamond rings and necklace etc... They should raise the amount to 50.000THB or so...

I admire these young hungerstrikers and I really hope that they will not die...because if so I think there will be a big problem in the country....

I can imagine.. I hear sometimes singers too that I want to take away the micro or slapped them....

Maybe first teach them to stop... I saw many times that cars and motorcycles at a checkpoint didn't stop at all when the police pointed them to put the car/motorcycle aside... They just drove on and the police was watching them go..... And I am wondering why tourists must be named....Just to look good??

Forgot to mention the 250 MP's that were installed to protect the non democratic government...
