Most People Favour Closing Night Venues At 2 A.M.: NIDA Poll
It is true 1 or 2 am is more than enough... The government has rules for alcohol sales hours in daytime, but at night there is no problem to buy.. and how many accidents are happening in the early mornings??Besides drugs use is common all over the world to stay up late and imprvive the fun. THailand is not different. Which normal people will go out till 4 am during weekdays?? They don't go to work?? And the people working in the entertainment you can't expect they give p their normal life. Working at night is not good for your health and besides that in a very noisy society as Thailand sleeping in daytimes is very difficult. And the same is for the people living around an entertainment venue.. They have to work the next day and when the club/bar or whatever is open and the noisy drunk visitors go home, or even fights, and the very loud music from the boxes with drums which you can hear kilometers away, people will sleep worse, which is not good for their jobs example less concentrated...The whole idea is stupid to open the entertainment business till 4 am.. an idea of someone with no brains otherwise he.she would have thought about it better.. And tourists.. they don't care.. If the tourists want to go to the bar till 4 am it are not the tourists Thailand is always aiming for

Pheu Thai Digital Wallet Project Merely Copycatting Japan: MP
In Japan they had coupons which would be much better as I wrote several times... On the other hand Thailand is the land of copy and greed and the digital wallet system will surely benefit some people who are involved in organizing and implementing

OPINION: “I’m a pooyai!” – The dilemma of “respect” in Thai culture
It is soo 19t century... People are being brainwashed from kids that pooyai knows everything and should be listen to. It creates problems as the pooyai's think they have power and can do whatever they want as they are protected by the idea that they are are higher than other people.. The whole system should be reviewed and be abolished.. Respect must be earned.. and people have to work for it and show that they are worthy in their behavior to be respected, not what several people are doing now because they are so called more than others.

Thai airlines weigh in on passenger pounds
stupid post.... A western tourist weight 85 kg which is very normal and with 20kg luggage they all have to pay much more, than an Asian who weight 53 and 20kg luggage will get a discount?? Bit strange...but when the Asian brings 20k luggage and 10k as handluggage which I often see in airplanes it would be no problem.. So only westerns are being overweighed constantly

Thai education embraces UK programmes to boost English language proficiency
that is not the problem. The biggest problem in Thai education is " always pass" policy. Kids who don't do anything will pass and thereor the stimulate other kids not to do anything too. Secondly there are too many students in a classroom. 40-50 in a class is far to much. There is no time for the teacher to help a student. and third there is no willingness to learn English by the kids as there is nowhere Englishto be found on TV in English camps in schools etc so that they can practice or notice how important it is to learn. And i am talking about the majority of schools all over the country and not about international schools before people start to comment again.

Move to boost tourism sector with worrying signals near the start of the country’s high season
Invest in good tourists and retirees fo example.. stop with all the paperwork for extending visas, be friendly at the borders, stop double pricing, stop with alcohol selling hours during daytime instead of improving the opening hours at night, stop chasing tourists who are vaping and many more... Make that tourists, and retirees/expats are welcome in this country. The children and grandchildren will come to visit their parents/grandparents, Quality tourism, instead of noisy, greedy chinese who don't spend much only make a mess

More Than One Way For Govt To Find Money For Digital Wallet Project: Prommin
As i wrote many times already, the Government should first start to investigate its population. Let everybody register in the place they live , with their occupation and assets... So they know who is poor, and who don't need the 10k help. But now they have no clue who si living where, what they do and earn and what they possess. How can you make a plan if the outcome is already doomed to fail. Example my foster kid is living in a different province but is still registered in our home. If he can get his 10k( which he surely needs) and he can only spend it it in a radius of 4 km around my house he has to come everytime to buy at 7/11 as no other shops are around me. That is a bit stupid I suppose

Thailand boosts tourism with free SIM cards and digital privileges for visitors
the TAT calculator.....Always strange numbers

Thailand boosts tourism with free SIM cards and digital privileges for visitors
they try, but sm cards and digital privileges will not attrack tourists to come to Thailand. But equal pricing, banned alcohol sales hours, permitting e cigarettes, and end of double pricing would do better. Besides if the RTP stops to chase foreigners to fine them, and a welcoming immigration would be positive. And for the visas..... yeah no more 90 days and a start of making a digital file of everybody, so that the millions of unnecessary copies ends.

Official Gets 50 Years In Jail For Wrongful Use Of Official Sedan
Maybe he better could fraud with millions as one of the senators did not long ago... Than he would be not prosecuted at all, but this man probably doesn't have high ranked friends so he has to pay what elites and highranked people don't need to do... Equality in treatment??? Not in Thailand for the common people.

Rethinking Thailand’s Defamation Law
The truth can hurt, but that is not always defamation. Outdated laws that can be used for everything should be all reviewed. Protecting people is ok, but over protecting or use a law to hide the truth is wrong. I know several laws more that be revised
