zMaybe they should google what the same sex marriges brought on benefits in the countries that have allowed it.. It would really boost the economy, but in reality they don't want it.

That is not the problem.. The problem is that they come with big news that no news is at all.. In 2020 was Prayuth saying that he would make a legal relationship for same sex couples as a gift after the Gay pride than. But after many hearings committees etc are we now 3 years further and again big news.. Parliament approves Same sex marriage.. 4 bills approved... and now they have to make 1 bill of it, again takes time, again delays son in totally 20 years we are not any further.. Thailand would be the first Asian country that have same sex marriage they have shouted in 2017, but in the meantime there are already 3 were it is possible and Thailand still nothing...Why make such a big headline why congratulate the LGBHTQ community with nothing?? I had expected that it was approved, in 2 weeks a second reading and possible from 1 February on. But now there will be several delays again.. I have wrote many times.. They promise but they don't really want it

The same as in 2020 when Prayuth and his Government approved a same sex legalization.. Now it is the end of 2023 and still nothing. Why approve 4 bills. There is only 1 needed, but again delays, committees to make 1 bill of it readings, approval of Senate and royal endorsement and it will be at least 2025 again...20 years to make a law Shameful

Everything in Thailand must be on the Unesco Heritage list.. the food, the dress, the monuments, the events... but in fact Thailand was in former times several kingdoms and mostly Khmer based.... claiming Angkor Wat was an example that Thailand wanted but did not owned

Thailand promises a lot but in the reality nothing will happen. Mr Prayuth promised equality law on Gaypride but after 2 years nothing happened. Yesterday the same.. Parliament accepted 4 bills but they have to be reviewed and vote again and than to the Senate and a Royal endorsement, so probably not for this year to happen.. Same for a new charter.. Difficult to change, but when there is acoup by the army they can write a new one with no problems, but now they promised to change the existing one and it seems legally impossible... What happened when they promised on a crackdown on blacksmoke cars?? drive around and see how many still pollute the air.. promises in Thailand are worthless

deja vu.. Prayuth had promised after the Gay Pride to arrange the Gay Marriage and it was accepted in the parliament. However after many committees and readings and delays still nothing. Now again first reading and accepting 4 bils.. They have to merged to one and it will take again months, and delays that I don 't dare to hope that Gay Marriage will be possible in 2024... They should have voted yesterday to accept one law and gay to make gay marriage possible on 1st of January 2024 or.. so but this in Thailand.. nobody dares

That was 16 November, why not go to hospital sooner??

It is not the duty of an IO to check if you have insured yourself. They have to hold you when you did not pay the hospital bill or damages... when you leave the country

I think you misunderstand my post... I know 15k is too less, but it is much more than the 370 THB a day nowadays. There must be a start.. Monthly salaries for 6 days a week working.. Companies will cry fool as it is too expensive, but they have to do it...and with so many holidays and extra days off people on dily wages have to work or don't get paid either. with 15k a month at least they are free and have their salary paid. Ok not much but a salary of 500THB a day is better than 370 I think.. It is just a start

just as an example.... Tourists should know they need always a travel insurance...travelling without is the stupidest thing ever...

You have to do kit in your home country not on the arrival.. You travel always without one??

The health minister is promoting less sleep and more accidents, more use of drugs and alcohol.. He is really worth his job.. But just wait a few months and everything will be different again

It is a start......at least better than they have now .... No I am from Europe where the people fought for their rights and were brainwashed. maximum 6 days a week working and not more max 8 hours a day... But here they shout it is unaffordable too expensive, but how much money is in the pockets for the top? They could miss a bit I am very sure

That is why minimum wage should be 15k a month..... who the hell can live of not even 9k a month with prices only going up??

One minimum wage for the whole country everybody is the same for the law.. And start with making montly payment so that at least all the holikdays are paid too with at least 1 day off a week.. I think 15k a month is decent

decide tomorrow and make it a law now.. Waiting for more than 15 years is more than enough, The senate have to decide about it too and they are not so willing probably as Move Forward is involved..Probably again delays for months again

It is the responsibility of the traveller/tourist to have a health insurance. Communicate that instead of offering free services...For a Schengen visa it is an obligation to have a travelinsurance

Tax reduction would be very good. Overpriced wines will not be bought by many expats. When I am in Europe I can drink in a restaurant a good quality wine for 15 euro. Here a bottle of chateau Migraine is even more 900 THB is no exception, only because of tax. And to atrack tourist and boost the consumption of alcohol stop with the sales and buying hours. Sell to adults only and if you doubt ask for an id.. I have grey hair enough so they will see I am not underaged anymore. Besides even at wholesale businesses like Makro there is no possibility to buy.. Childish enough they block the area with chains and don't dare to get in for a look as they send you out.. Little bit more adult behavior should be in place but as long as people come back from Israel carrying Thai flags i fear the worst

For people of 65 indeed, but when you are retired at an earlier age it doesn't count... Then you have only 60.000 free as personal allowance and of course the 150.000 zero tax. Now fair in fact pension is pension

And when you bought at the airport where you left already some stuff and buy here again, customs will will check you and confiscate and fine you as you are bringing in too much tax free stuff :)

Most tourists buy their stuff somewhere else.. Duty free shops in Thailand are overpriced and with the restrictions of alcohol and cigarettes there will not be so much to earn for the Government, but what else could they think with their brains?

Double pricing far too expensive and in fact only for people with some experience. hopefully they are closed when the rainy season starts

I am wondering what the court does.. In 15 years time they can't produce a decision.. same as many old cases about Thaksin and Yingluck, delaying everything except if it are protestors.

First damage and destroy than take some measures to try to repair the damages, find out it will not work, blame everybody and safe your face.. That is how things work in Thailand. Advice... stop double pricing, be welcoming to all foreigners, and stop with all stupid ideas..

What a stupid idea.. there are more cars driving around with blacksmoke that pollute more and get rid of all old cars of 25 years and older.. grilling pork will not help so much, but fine burning ricefields, and factories that will emit much more
