Thailand to ban import of all plastic waste from January 1st, 2025

Thailand has more than enough plastic waste by their own.... no need to import more -

last Sunday there were a whole group of streetracers on the highway laying flat on their scooter no helmets and speeding more than 100km an hour... No police to be seen... maybe a better punishment would be confiscate the motorcycle and fold it in a crusher before giving it back...They act totally irresponsible for themselves and other users on the roads... and besides that the Government could implement that these scooters can't drive faster than 50km an hour....but ok I know this is Thailand

Doctor Warns Children Should Not Eat Cannabis Jellies
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My first thought, why not fine the manufacturers of these jelly?? It is not done to make kids eat or use cannabis already and most candies are eaten by kids, as they have no idea what is in it... Secondly don't sell these candies in normal shops, but only in cannabis shops. and parents if you have brains don't give it to your kids how hyperactive they are.....But this is Thailand, everything goes as it is...and no clear rules and no enforcements... -

sandyf Explorer Member Advanced Member 9452 12738 posts Posted 5 hours ago That is now 700 THB and is the Passenger Service Charge. Thailand will probably cancel it as soon as every other country does. Over and above the PSC the UK charge Air Passenger Duty which is from around 4500 THB upwards depending on the type of seat you have. Of coarse on the this forum only Thailand are seen as money grabbing parasites. If you can't stand the heat, the kitchen has a door. This is your post isn't??? you write that Thailan will cancel it as soon as other countries do...

Grey Senator ‘Turned Posh Bangkok Spot Into Ruam Thai Sang Chart HQ’

But Prayuth claimed there were no convicted/ jailterms in his Government -
It is no use... he doesn't understand it.....so ThailandRyan i agree with you totally.. predictions estimates, expectations that is where Thailand Tourism is build on, differences of arrivals and tourists, but globally costs for travelling are rising, people have less money to spend and will seek holidays near home, etc that is unknown here.. IMO I think Thailand had it easy.. tourists always came and they did not need to do anything for it.. but now they have to attractive for tourists and that is difficult with all kind of rules....anyway, it is not my business and I can't solve their problem.

If the articles are too expensive because of the strong THB people will by less or find other cheaper suppliers... That is normal economy.. The so called strong THB is damaging a lot although some think different...expats get less income, tourist have to pay more for hotels etc as they get also less THB for their currency.....Happily the THB is weaking now

Swedes and Thais fight each other over traffic rule in Phuket
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
If there is a clear sign that you need special permission to drive on the road the Thais are correct.... But probably it is a rule made by someone as often we notice here...and yeah than you get a dispute and who is right???? of course we are guests and always wrong -
They should make it a visa on arrival... for tourists yes indeed... so Thai people and long visa holders are exempted... but than there are no 30 million tourists anymore.. Arrivals are not tourists..Besides an extra tax for people who frequently fly in and out but pay taxes here is not correct and of course there is no control of any institution how much and on what they will spend it....
