It is shameful....How can you ever win the trust of the people if you act like children.. It is your job to govern and finish the term or just stop it and give new elections.. This is a bad sign for the new Government too... Suppose the new opposition will do the same.. how can you work than?

indeed... as you show

This is just a normal person, who happened to have luck that she is famous in Taiwan... But not neede for a VIP treatment.... She not Royal and need therefore act according the normal rules.. Yes she can have a luxury cab, and a bottle of wine and fruit in her chambre but that is it... No police escort, that everybody has to move for her.. In no other country she can do that

Thank you... so no need for tourists from other countries than....

The leader of the counntry and his childish behavior... walk away when they ask something that you don't like...

I don't understand.. There is no new money floating into the country, but only from one place to another..... Besides, live is getting more expensive, too many holidays, too much householddebts...The latter is even worse for the economy as we all know that many can and will not pay their debts off....Invest in proper salarysystem, educate people to handle their earnings, and stop with pushing people further in poverty

I miss a few people who surely are in the top of the list

probably you never stood in front of a classroom.....You would talk differently

So quickly ..... after a few days they know already how much they earned....Athough the auto industry now announces their figures from the past December.... But here they can do it after 3 days

arrivals are not tourists

Result of he annoying soaps, broadcasting that violence is normal

an inactive post probably

It is just child abuse.... Why are people giving these young kids 300 sit ups or more?? They have no brains even for a adult it is very much...Severe punishment for this man and of course fire him....never get a job again...It is not an single case apparently.. he gave kids severe punishments before.. Brave kid that he could do the 300... but still

The biggest problem in THailand are not the laws and fines, but lack of enforcing by the RTP. If the police starts to work an do their job a lot will be improved together with a proper education for a driverslicense. As long as kids are allowed by the police on motorcycles, no helmets , parking where ever you want, even near a traffic light or on a pedestrian crossing, and just name it, you see every day on the road /, you can fine and threaten but everybody knows nothing will happen, as it is a few days and than back to "normal". Policeforce have to work on the streets 24 hrs 7 days a week and not from 9 to 5 and surely not busy with schools in the morning and afternoon. The only task is there to fine the ones who don't follow the rules.....And also I see many times that they stand aside the road for hours if the royal motorcade will pass....No need to stand at 12 o'clock as the motorcade passes at 16.00.... Work!!!!

when does Thailand enter the 21st century??? So outdated to kneel for a political leader....

Maybe Thailand could investigate why they need visas.. The North is not desperate in need for Thai tourists... Besides many Thais we have read several times, come under false predictions in countries like Korea..... not as tourists but as workers... I know someone who had a visa for Poland, but went working illegally in a massage shop in the Netherlands.. And be fair the EU/US have a lot more to offer than Thailand even if you stay illegally, you will not be treated as in Thailand.

no work permits/?? How come.. Thai people can cook too so no work permit given as it is a job Thai people can do...I never will understand the logic in this country... everything goes against everything...

I am happy that the PM can't say he us the best for this country anymore too...

Motorcades should be banned, also for busses with daytrip people/students, minivans with so xalled hiso's and so on. Only for royalty is ok and for trucks and transport of exceptional things for safety... Normal road usage for everyone.. Nobody has to go aside for other common people

And how much spend retirees and expats during the year in Thailand??? Why are they not treated better than instead if they are criminals with 90 days reporting, adress confirmations, etc?? Or are only tourists important??

A few things... There are more tourists, bt not the number they want us to believe, another thing is the price and quality and quantity.. if they serve normal prices with normal portions and eatable food, a restaurant will sell.. But too pricy for a little bit, or not good food ..... you won't sell that is all over the world the same. And of course the expensive THB makes that people have less to spend.. There is a difference if you get 37 THB /USD or 30 THB/USD, as everything is getting more expensive already. Business is taking risks, you can win and you can loose..but good management and a view can solve a lot too.. Be inventive

Where do they work ?? As inPattaya a check by the police a week or a so ago found no prostitution... So If it doesn't exist they don't need to be protected too..Or just admit that there are a lot and protect them...

Today I read that a lot of CHinese have a problem with their income and payments as the population is also affected by inflating and rising costs just as the rest of the world....Maybe TAT was too optimistic again and my partner has read on another website that a lot of Chinese choose other countries than Thailand and that the big wave maybe expected only around September.... just to say....

And maybe the exchange rate can be useful.. I don't know which rate they use or is it a average rate??? My bank or their bank?

again expected, no real numbers....
