Vietnam is welcoming tourists, as Thailand with all the rules and laws is more and more unwelcoming tourists... It starts already by the mostly grumpy immigration, and than the taxi scam to your hotel

OK... agreed but do it also on cigarettes as they are even more dangerous for your health than vaping. And also give the same punishment/fines to the policemen, government officials, teachers, high ranked officials and army as for the common people and foreigners...As i have seen many vaping all over the country so there is a lot of work to do. But do it also for the cigarettes no exceptions

It is no problem in a few days there will be the TDAC and that will delay at the immigration so a delay on the luggage will not be noticed

I have a shower

You don't understand as maybe you are Thai..I don't care how they call me

Raise the prices of everything and keep the wages teh same and see what will happen... soon nobody will buy pork anymore as it is too expensive.. Than the prices will raise again as several farmers will stop or being bankrupted by the low selling and costs.. and so the circle goes on and on.. Now the heat is making the pork more expensive, later it will be the rain because there was not enough food for the pigs and so we excuses for everything to fill the pockets of the rich

I have not seen it anywhere in my province yet... Besides why is teh question?? Thailand is not Catholic

That is good news... another lunatic with too much money got his Kharma..... gone 34 million THB.. probly he can choose another from his collection now... Than he can speed again and blame others for his lunatic driving behavior

Hey you Thai... you don't have a name??? Or are you being offended if I only call you THai?? The Thai has comment on my post... That is normal??

Economic waters will be become very rough. If the people can't buy anything anymore because the prices are rising and the wages are not raised, it will go wrong. Be sure of that.. Stealing, borrowing without pay back, and although not common in Thailand strikes or work refusals will be coming... with the result of lower profits, and bankruptcy of companies.. No not in the coming weeks, of months, but you will see.. It will go terrible wrong... History has showed it many times already.. The greed of the rich will be punished

Of course... it is normal that people stay in a hospital for high bloodpressure for 6 months. I just came back from the doctor because I have high blood pressure too and with the current medication I can do everything and need to go back to check every 2 months.. So why is this man in the hospital for 6 months, and than the question if he really was in the hospital....Common use common sense.. He is just a fake man that buys everything he wants, and act as a true Buddhist, but he is the devil in disguise

Do you do a test before a driverslicense anyway ??? If i see how some drivers are driving I think they never had 1 lesson nor a driving test... And be fair brake test and color test are not the best tests to check your driving skills

Mostly you bring someone who is unconscious in a car to the hospital instead of the police station.

Good to hear .... Maybe the solar panels will become more affordable for many people to buy and install now...That would be good for the economy and for the PM2.5 problems

O my God, this is normal behavior for netizens ... why is a a foreigner arrested?? The RTP can arrest almost half the country for the same offends

Thai justice... the real culprit is still free and some lower ranked are being punished .. The heads of the RTP are dismissed... Money rules surely in Thailand.. The poor and uneducated are being punished, jailed , the rich buy their freedom and innocence.

It is the same... it just annoying how Thai people are addressing foreigners

There is since yesterday a music party at Robinson here.. And Sunday at 23.15 they started to do a sound check soo loudly.. I don't understan it. Yesterday I went to complain at Robinson already as I live surely 1 km away from the mall but the bass is still drumming so loudly that I can hear it inside my house with windows and doors closed... They looked at me as I was an alien and told that they would inform the manager.. But yesterday evening they made the same loud sound and today and probably tomorrow the last day it will be the same... Sponsored by Pepsi. I don't understand after a week holiday , on Monday start a 3 day music festival,... They don't think that people have to work? and they can't lower the sounds a bit so that they also can have fun and not the whole province has to listen to their bass and stupid no-able to sing artists. Oh I forgot brains of an ostrich here

Yes the know/knew my name very well but when Thai people are talking with eachother in Thai they still call you the farang..

We will see.... I need it in September so gthere is time.. My Idea was just to mention it, as there is still time to resolve this problem.. I did not read the TATnews, as that institution is for me of no use..But I did not thought that it would give negative response, for something missing at this moment..It was just a try out for myself..and I still have my opinion that the app builder should have thought about adding Thailand in it at the beginning, but probably his idea was that Thai people don't need to fill in, and forgot that there are also emigrants and long stayers in Thailand living...

I think the truth is important not fill in something... what is the use if you just fill in something to get these cards??

They can wait for a long time to get something from the Revenue Department.. see how long it takes to get files from the hospital and prison for Daddy... And now they want to get rid of BumjaiThai Party, so maybe together they can make the Government fall and get new elections and rid of this family

No wonder tourists are not coming anymore.. It starts by entering the country already that you don't feel welcome.. Immigration Officers that hardly say a word to you or smile, Than there is the double pricing system and too expensive THB, and outdated laws for alcohol sales and use Not only between 14.00 and 17.00 but also for Buddhistic holidays, elections, etc, where most tourist have no clue of, They want to sit on the beach or on a terrace and have a beer or wine, but that is impossible. Than there is the vaping problem. Tourist are not allowed to vape, while many Thais are vaping.. The scams by taxis, the traffic accidents, and robberies nowadays and the RTP only chasing to fine foreigners.. Thailand is not welcoming anymore.. I am sure I will get a post on this that it is better that I go back to my own country, if I don't like it here, and that is an example that many tourists experience too.. The welcoming attitude and the gratefulness for the choice for a holiday in Thailand is gone... Anutin and the Government have done this for years already and of course there will be always tourists in Thailand, but there is a big need of updating laws and rules. The latest as we all could read is that guiding is a protected occupation only for Thai people, but there almost no Thai that speak a foreign language and their English is often not very well.. But foreign guides are not allowed.. It are these things that keep tourists away too... Protection and double standards and outdated laws... Enter the 21st century and the tourists will come back, but it will take several years after you changed things

There is nothing news on this as Trump already announced a few weeks back that these import taxes are on hold for 90 days

He is right.. Farang is not a decent word and if Thai people talk about foreigners it is always farang.. I was teaching in a school but nobody ever said my name only the farang...And I always said it must be khon Farang, as it in Khon Jipoon, Khon Thai, etc .. and smiled with it... but even after 10 years in the same school they told me farang....Also in my neighbourhood if they as my friend it is where is the farang, just if don't know my name while i live here already 20 years.. It is annoying, because how would Thai people respond if we all foreigners call them Thai... Hey Thai can you help me? Hey Thai how are you?... The Thai asked me if I could this or that....... I think big problems would occur as the would not accept it
