No points deducted.... Money speaks again..They should jail him

Normal... My stepson was beaten by the police many times as they thought he was involved in drugs and wanted to know the name of his dealer...But unfortunately he was not in drugs but they have beaten him enough several times a day for as long he was captured.

The WHO will say again that Thaland was the best country to handle the Covid crisis... but it should be the best in destroying their tourist industry

It was expected that there would be problems... too short notice and too may people victims.. Why not do it easy... A country with many Covid infections a 48hrs RT PCR test and/ or vaccinations.. Other countries.. no problems... Everybody happy, instead of being afraid of China. This will costs much more tourists as a lot of people now know that they can change the rules day by day..

I can't agree more... We all know that there is time we have to die... Nobody lives for ever. And as long as we are in good shape no problems. But I have seen many people suffering from cancer, or accidents, with no hope for cure. And it should be possible to decide that it is better to take out the plug. Why would we want someone to suffer?? It is not because we love them so much and we don't want to loose them, as we all know we all have to go. So please I personally want a good life and if I am in a condition that it hopeless, put a bit more morphine in the next injection,or take out the plug. I go for quality of life not length. It is humanity and not egoistic to keep people alive for suffering..Here in Thailand it is a big issue, because it is be seen as murder, But I think that the Buddha will see it different, and as a good deed. But especially here is a big step to go

Chaos is the word that fits here... Travellers start to leave today Sunday and arrive tomorrow, but on Sunday a lot is closed so difficult to arrange things if needed....Sadly Thailand know only a few days that the Chinese are coming??

I am wondering what will happen Monday... People leave tomorrow, Sunday, and there is no time anymore to arrange things, as Sunday a lot is closed or not working... Another question how long will stand? I think that if there are a lot of hotels complaining about cancellations , people are being refused because of no, too late or expired vaccinations and all kind of that , and maybe that Covid infection start to rise in Thaland, things will be different quickly...

reality is no complaining

there is no education with swimming in normal schools... too expensive or difficult to realize... Here in phetchaburi is a school next to the swimmingpool... but no swimminglessons and the pool is empty everyday

ec ian is Evian that are the same apples

I don't complain about the water.It is just a comment and a comparisonthat cheap is not always cheap in Thailand...especially importe products are very expensive... but apparently it hurts you that someone sees these things and you not

Waaw these people have spend 5000 THB each for a full moon party.. What did they drink and eat???

In our own language we use these kind of words too( stupid cow), and although is not nice to hear itwe can live with it. But In Thailand the people can't handle critics, because everything is fine and good ....and losing face is the worst that can happen for them..If it is used probably there is/was a good reason for it..

cheap??? hotels are even more expensive than in Paris...last year we bougt a bottle of Ec ian in Paris for 50 eurocent.. that is 18 THB the exact same bottle of water here is 65 THB....and than we don't even talk about wine

one competitor less....a few hunderd more to go...

there are already only 66 million Thais instead of several websites said there are 70 million...So 4 million more votes for them could make it work..

share it on facebook, that will keep the Westerns away and can Thailand enjoy their Chinese guests... Everybody happy.

your country, your view, your opninion.... The big money will be always in benefit...But how about expats and retirees who get less money to spend every month.. They contribute more than the internationals who only benefit the rich and super rich...But again your country.. And a lot of people know that superrich and rich are changing their THB in USD because when the THB will collapse they will profit again.. Everybody happy

Thailand is afraid of China that is all.... and they need tourists for the economy.... But with half baked measures there will be much more damage than decent measures.. Do as China a RT PCR test not older than 48 hours before departure for the Chinese, as they require too to entry heir country...and the rest leave it, leave it

ifyou are an exporter you receive USD and you have to change them in THB and with a strong THB you get less almost every day.. you don't understand that? And I as an importer of your Thai goods have to pay more USD for the same product... Who is benefitting? tell me please. I don't tralk about big international businesses and the oil and energy business... That is totally different.. No I just talk about a Orchid farmer or Thai silk seller for example...As an importer I go and look cheaper options maybe different countries who can deliver the same for less..Nobody is benefitting of a too expensive currency.. Result is that prices only are going up and result in devaluation of the currency..Than all parties are satisfied..At this moment not many people are satisfied with the overvalued THB

so if I have to pay 10.000 THB in USD I pay for a rate at 36 totally 277 USD and with a rate of 34 totally 294 USD.. exporter is happy but not me. Be honest in THB you calculate with THB to USD and not USD to THB.....

According to internet there are a few million Thais missing... but maybe they will appear in the votes with next election to make the current parties stay in power.. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/THA/thailand/population https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL?locations=TH

can give an example please or explain??

Good to hear and read that the Thai economy is going so well.. But in the past weeks there were several opposite articles as well.. Ok no problem as we live in a country that only produce news that will look good ... but as everyone hoorays over the strong THB there is another side and that is not inflation. Expats and retirees get salaries and pensions from their country. They will get less THB and can spend less and with the ongoing inflation and the policy for double pricing for foreigners, it is not good for the economy at all. Besides, the eport will be less too as articles are more expensive because of the THB. Result will be as the Chinese tourists don't come in the expected numbers, and other tourists don't come again because of the Covid rules again, the economy will be going down much more than they are aware of. Don't forget that airplane tickets are already much higher because of the war in Ukraine and climate and airport taxes. People will always come to Thailand, but with a too expensive THB and all other costs and regulations, people will choose a holiday destination nearby or with less paperworks

I am wondering how they count..... The administaration is a mess, with people registered in places where they don't live( in the blue book) but work or live in other provinces...
