They forgot to count the people who are in jail for section 112? they forgot the impact of protests with chemical watercanons?, Democracy in corruption??? I believe fake news, to feel good for the Government

difficult story... Eu has euros, Us has dollars, why split the money spent in Vietnam and not in Thailand where the tourists spend their money and why a compare with Vietnam of 2019??? just a few questions...Staying 13 days and 15 days maybe to do with time differences??

They should be hapy that the lights are 240 instead of 450.... in this article the hotels are almost fully occupied 85% if there were 450 flights where would the put people in???

vaping forbidden, cigarettes can be sold, freely, cannabis, no problem, other drugs 1 tablet no problem, selling vapers etc no problem, foreigners.. charge them...

Freedom of speech and write??? more laws... only what the Government approves can be broadcasted?? Sponsors on TV for what... not for the quality of programmes, lower than there is already is almost impossible...so who is filling the pockets again??.. Please stop these unuseful laws.. They don't add anything....., And if the media is really concerned please investigate deeply and bring it out free and without restrictions, but they don't dare it as it can cost their license

something new.... need a toilet....passed several stations already as there are many

again arrivals are no tourists... My partner and I entered the country already one time this year and we will do again for sure 2 times..... So we will be counted as 6 people... but we are no tourists

kids never a holiday or freetime in Thailand.... School/ special classes/homework.....No time to let the brain relax

hahahahahahahahahahah.... arrivals are not tourists

Can't compare... Salaries and wages are a bit higher too in the UK or not?

billions and billions as we have to believe all the numbers....and than tomorrow tourism is not even 50% of 2019 before Covid..... Believe what you want to believe...

indeed.. maybe it shows that most rules are outdated or not necessary as nobody needs to follow them......

and allmentioned items are only the tip of the iceberg...and than wondering why tourists don't come anymore...

If the Government can't do its job, dissolve it

I think here in lies the problem... There is no clear statement it is not allowed.. You are advised not to bring.....not it is not allowed..Never clear statements, which makes things easy for corruption Whilst the sale of these items seems quite open in Thai street stalls, some shops and markets, tourists may get a false sense of security about the lack of enforcement of the country’s vaping laws. It is indeed a lack of enforcement of laws, and not only about smoking/vaping but many others too.. RTP is too lazy

Why are the tourists notcoming to Bangkok or Chiang Mai???????

It is normal in Thailand bribing, corruption ....If all people had to fill in a taxform for 5 years it was easy to trace who is corrupt and who not.....As we all know that you can't buy a mercedes with an income of 10k a month... so where does the other money come from.. as an example

First of all lawyers can say what they want but as long as the police doesn't enforce any law, nobody will take it seriously what they say. No helmets, no seating in back of cars, alcohol secretly sales, sextoys, bribing officers, illegal gambling, shops/bars/restaurants without right paper and just name it and now they start again with e cigarettes, while a lot of Thai people use them and they are freely available in the country...If you want that people take you serious, than you have to enforce on every law, 24 hours day 7 days a week.. Secondly, vaping is much better than smoking, although still unhealthy.. In almost the whole world it is allowed but Thailand want to attrack tourists, but bans every jpy they want to have.. driving motorcycles, vaping, drinking beer, and jetski/taxi/tours/ scamming....Why do they want tourists?? There are better destinations with less restrictions, as cheap as, and even beautiful as Thailand. Tourists come because you make the difference and Thailand is not Thailand of 10 years ago anymore and so tourists know that too...

Yes I am sure there will be more.. after the promotion of Thailand... Ban on e cigarettes and scam by the police... Visas on arrival are questionable too, alcoholsales hours, and many more " incidents" in the news , thailand will be very attractive for the tourists

A system that only works for ones who have a driverslicense... What do they do about those with no driverslicense?? Make a proper system for every body or none

with all the numbers arrived in the last month... all the tourists arrived after the pandamic and still not even 50%??? Reality shows that all the previous number were made to look good...

It will be very quiet in the policestations... bad ones punished...

Good to hear a inside story now a Thai is involved.....

talking about loosing face...... This is whta Thailand is.. double standards, as shops with vapers can operate but foreigners are fined... a result we raid a shop somewhere and the other shops continue business as usual..But why is the Government allowing normal cigarettes, but vaping( less unhealthy) forbidden...But weed can be used in soups, food, and free available.. And no comunication as you almost nowhere read for tourists that vaping is forbidden in Thailand... Incredible country

Very quickly... January is not even 24 hours behind us...
