ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News

Thailand announces extra holiday to boost Songkran economy
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand the hub of non working days and extra holidays.... And than they are worried about the economy. I have never learned that more holidays are good for the economy. Mostly the opposite.. but with almost 40 days off in a year it is no wonder that that the economy will decline -

Thai immigration cracks down on misbehaving foreigners
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe a 21st century computer system connected with all immigration checkpoints and offices could be a start. How is it possible to enter with a false passport? They take their time to check at arrivals as we see the queues so where did it go wrong? And all the other offenders.....Thais are not better than these foreigners -

Chon Buri apartment owner battles raucous bars in neighbourhood
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
There should be rules for the decibels but with no enforcement nothing will work. Noise is too loud everywhere in Shopping malls/ supermarkets like Big C and Lotus's, many speakers screaming with as an extra a background music that belongs in a club, temples, outside parties that you can hear several kilometers from home, in cars driving around with commercials or private cars with boxes that are so loud that they never can hear a ambulance, schools and announcements of the amphur by radio and of course the karaoke bars and other entertainment venues, they want to open till 4 am but first they should be ready with all the rules of noise, checking age and alcohol stop for people who are drunk already. It is their responsibility in fact, but nobody cares about anything -
Tuk tuks and taxis: Bangkok’s solution to overcharging crisis
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
If there are no enforcements there is no effect. Severe punishment as revoking licenses and high fines will stop the overcharging much better. Tourists have no clue because who is going to inform them in time? -

“MoU 44” should be basis for talks to resolve Thai-Cambodia overlaps

In fact Thailand is born from Cambodia.. The Khmer were the first that ruled over the peninsula...So no claims can be made by Thailand in fact -

AOT and immigration unite to tackle Suvarnabhumi Airport queues
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Advice more than enough, but the Thai culture will never accept ideas from others. Everybody thinks they are the most important person and make their own rules. At the airport it is the same.. Long rows waiting.. Immigration officers who see that is growing start to come and open their counter in a slow way. The visitor has to make a pic leaving also as arriving , biometric fingerprints and as an arrival passenger they need a boarding pass.. ( In which other country do have to show that??) Than checking all the pages of your passport, write a story in the computer and stamp the passport. But take it easy.. rows will grow but they take their time. Where are the automatic passport checks?? Why not all counters occupied the whole day? Why boarding passes for entry? And if you have a re entry permit you have to go to the local immigration office for your address notification and 90 days paper.. Are computers not connected with eachother?? local immigration different than the leaving side and different again from the entrance side?? Maybe they should work on that -
South Korean YouTuber sparks tuk tuk fare controversy in Thailand
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is not too expensive in my opinion, but it is free to accept the deal or not. If you don't want to pay or pay less negotiate or cancel it... Anyway Koreans and Thais are not a good match at this moment, and probably it is a part of it -

Thailand welcomes nearly 6 million foreigners in first 8 weeks of 2024
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Amazing TAT.... 6 million divided by 8 multiply with 52 is 39 million ... and the high season has to come yet... Celebrations for you.....but I don't believe it. Arrivals are not always tourists, but can be Thai people just coming home from a holiday. expats and business men from a holiday or seminar and of course people in transit... -

Thailand’s prime minister unfazed by triple prime minister’s scenario
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If they really want the country to move forward, they should have give MFP a chance instead of the witch hunt they are doing now on this party and leaders.. But in the land of dinosaurs it will take a very long time before the country even starts to move -
Thailand's Future: What do you think?
ikke1959 replied to FruitPudding's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If there are no changes coming, Thailand will loose the connection with the world. Bad education that makes people lazy by outdated law of always passing for example, poverty will be getting worse, no freedom of press, speaking, and writing, everything is censured, and with many outdated laws enforced by army and a corrupt police force, double standards for foreigners, it will be a non attractive country anymore. The people should come together and demand changes, but the government divides more and more as they know " divide and rule". But if the people of Thailand work together they are stronger than any force. It is their country and they have to claim it back instead of now being in the hands of incompetent governments and army -
There is no need to help, the people with high debts. A assistance of how to use their money and talk with the creditors try to find solutions for paying back. I worked for a NGO and charitable institution and we helped so people out of their debts. It take a long time, but important is to see how people spend their money and that they have to change that....Everything here seems to be a problem of the Government, but people are responsible for their own deeds

Brake failure causes deadly crash at Yala wedding procession
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
There was no brake failure for sure... The bus have stopped several times already with no problems, only when there is an accident it is brake failure, maybe because they are speeding and think that when they stop suddenly they stand still right away. Never heard of braking distance. or people are too tired and react different than when they had enough rest and sleep. Anyway RIP to the deceased and good recovery for the injured. It is always a roulette to drive with a person you hired
