Last month we went to Paris and the hotels are there cheaper than in Thailand. A bottle of water cost 56 eurocent in the Carrefoure whil the same bottle of water here in Thailand in Tops cost 63 THB... And wondering why tourists don't come... an besides that, when we sat down on a terrace at 15.00 we could order beer/wine/or any other spirits... here in Thailand we should wait till 17.00.....

On this forum many expats expressed their concerns about the Thai tourism for years already. By several laws and regulations the Government has managed to ruined this industry and now it is succesful they complain....Tourists will always come to Thailand, but the golden years are over

It is always nice to have hopes, but hopes don't bring you anything. The reality is totally different as we have read several times already that companies have chosen anothe country to start ...... Tourists will be the same, hopes yes, but with the global problems of rising oilprices, and expensive THB outdated laws on alcohol and e cigarettes, and a announced double pricing for non Thais and a entrance fee of 300 THB, and many more they can hope, but most people use their brains and with an army based Government with new elections with unknown results, the hopes for Thailand is far away

Result of an incompetent Government.....Invest in electric cars, solar energy for common people, less holidays or make monthly wages instead of daily, so that not only Government officials have paid holidays, invest in a new railway system to reduce traffic and promote public transport, review visa rules so that Thailand will be attractive for tourists, backpackers and expats again, work on the waterways to prevent floodings every year. It are just a few things that Government can do. and they have to stimulate the Thai people to work, so that they don't need the cheap workers from the neighbouring countries. Make you own country and people happy.. But nothing of this happened in the past 8 years, not even 1 A5 paper with plans

A reason more not to vote on both parties as the Peheu Thai nos is the opposition and after the election want so rule with the current party... The country is damaged enough by them??

I feel sorry that you can have a girl when it is dark. I rather see them at daylight, than I know what I get

I agree, but than I don't understand why I can't buy alcohol during daytime and only at night....If people must enjoy themselves.....

It seems that Thanathorn is the a good candidate for PM as so many Government supporters are against him

Alcohol restrictions during daytime, but in the entertainment industry 2.00 closing time must be extended. Same for deadly accidents as we can read many times that a lot accidents happen in the early morning. So The Government want to open the entertainment venues till 4 am but for who??? And we don't talk about the drugs that will be used. Sorry but the night is for the bad...always was and will be. 2.00 am is more than enough

and the heirs of these dead friends don't want the watches back??? It was written in their will that Prawit inherited them?

Is that a real law or is it a RTP made law??? Some laws don't exists in reality but only by the policeforce... another way to gain money... The police duty is to enforce laws, not to make them

A review?? Thailand should enter the 21st century with its outdated laws, the corruption all over, so that the few with money always get less punishment. There is a big need for a radical reformation, but as long as the people let it happen nothing will change.

announced, but no real solutions.. Start with all old cars and busses. Take them off the road and change them for electrical cars... The government can make money free to subside this project. Another thing is more public transport and promote it so less motorcycles will be used ...We went to Paris and it is amazing that there are almost no diesel/petrol cars in gthe city anymore. And of course drive on a highway and see how many trucks still drive with black smoke although several crackdowns have been made.. But do now a real crackdown and stop them , let it repair before they can go futher with a big fine..... In no time black smoe cars are gone as nobody likes to pay and wait till it is repaired.

lots of copies, and lots of money will be involved to help the tourists. First pay than we help you. The police shold help everyone tourist or local, they are the ones who has to enforce the laws on everyone and not only on tourists.

Easy as mango and sticky rice and Kao pad american are already accepted as soft Thai power, and added with Massaman curry...No need to spend money on a competition. hire a good chef. Besides there is even a Michelin star cook in Bangkok for noodles..

you don't understand ...... it is a ridiculous sentence 192 years without suspension....see the joke of it

Maybe a good thing to do is walking the Camino... You can walk the whole 800km to Santiago de Compostella or a part. There are different routes and you will surely find what you need.

Putin, president Xi and a Saudi Prince... sorry to say but they are not the most liked leaders in the world as is Macron at the moment. Is the Saudi Prince not involved in something with demonstrators and journalist? https://www.theguardian.com/world/mohammed-bin-salman

It was an unbelievable story from the beginning..... borrow watches from a friend, who suddeny died

In a normal society there should be a weekend which is not counted as a holiday, but in THailand every day is a working day so indeed tomorrow is a day off and Sunday and Monday too ... but don't call it weekends ...just 3 day holiday is better

I like these sentences.. and I am wondering when someone will get 4 times death penalty... I think it will be difficult after the first time to do the second ne.. Same now 192 years in prison... What will happen if he dies in 10 years because no suspension...

I want this man to teach me how he can save so much money in 9 months.... I can't even do it in 2years

I big need to reform the RTP as show many times what a mess it is in this organization

Are they goig to tell the world there that they can't solve the blacksmoke cars, no investment or promotion to use more solar energy for households, by panels on he roof, Keep the tradition of oldtimers on the road , and nowhere bins to put plastic bags in and other rubbish? Look around you and ask yourself what in fact the Government is doing for a better Government.

Oh my goodness.. no fines anymore for no mask wearing. I see a lot of motorcycles wearing masks but no helmets...Now they are in real danger if they don't need to masks anymore.... They probably think that a mask is much more protecting against an accident than a helmet. Besides that, Thailand was back to normal on the 1st October already???
