Thailand the land for tourists....

Do tell, why in the world would you be so desparate to drive someone to the bloody airport that you would include it in your contact? 

Just see what this woman has to deal with now.. If it is written in the contract she doesn't violate the labour laws of Thailand... Thailand is not the normal world

Singapore on 6th place??? If there is a luxury airport surely Changi is one of the best.. and CdG in Paris even higher ranked?? Sorry we were there a2 years ago and it was a normal airport. The lounges I don't know as I am just a normal traveler.. So again a fake news item just to feel good and try to solve the bad image of Suvarnabhumi

It is a bit questionable.... Yesterday there was apparently a few days between  death of both bodies..Decent investigation could clarify things, but easiest way is what is written above

Nothing will change the comfortability of the status quo here

No change is no progress too...I know Thailand is very conservative, although they pretend to be a modern country

It seems the video is from a camera which is installed in the car.

What does it show before the motorcycle rider gets upset?

Probably there is a reason why she didn't publish that part of the video.

It was on the news this morning.. She was driving wrong and hit the motorcycle from behind. The man was upset and spit on her frontscreen. The police told the woman that she was  wrong but she did not accept that and the RTP made excuses to the Australian man and she did not agree.. Just typical Thai style.. They never are wrong 

International Hotel Management???? Not a degree in politics? Just because she went with her father and was brainwashed she knows??

I think that AI will be stressed and crash...

We have built every square meter with houses, shops, restaurants  but we have never thought there would be traffic and they need parking space.. Where can find a parking space in Bangkok?? Besides that Thais park their car where they want even in curves, or at white/red blocks before the traffic lights and even the police doesn't enforce anything or do the same.. Seen many times here in my place

Thais cry fool if they think that other countries are mistreating them, but look what they do with the foreigners here.....Did Dubai deport them all and put them in jail too??

Maybe they first can explain what tourists are.... tourists come to a country for a few weeks to relax.. Long term tourists however what are they coming to do, as they are not allowed to do anything than having a beer between 11 and 14 and after 17.00 and visit attractions and do some shopping... That is very boring..

The best thing in the story is that the employer is not being charged, as he is the one who have in fact provide the paperwork for a workpermit and have to know that every non-Thai needs a workpermit.  As i said in previous posts the witch hunt on foreigners will do no any for tourism..Short sighted of Thailand

Bt35K a month is not a lot. Not even close. 

I know just to say that foreigners come here to make money is ridiculous... and Thais are going workin in other countries because they pay more.. and often they work illegally.. Look at Korea, now Saudi Arabia, and I know people in Europe too... So a few foreigners who do something here have to work that a Thai can't do and that is almost impossible to find and than they get a low payment according to Western standards..

WOW! This sounds extremely serious! Thailand should allow foreigners to do whatever they like, if they say they are welcoming them! 

I know the history but maybe you can read abit more about the WOII on the internet.. The Germans were angry at a certain population as they thought they were stealing their jobs. It became a real problem that all Jews had to destroyed..

It will never make sense to foreigners whose only voice is on this forum. Johny foreigner, could not make money in his home country and came to Thailand to earn money. What a shame. Must be deported. 

in the West you can earn more than here in Thailand.. O the difference is it is here cheaper to live so probably it seems to have more money.. But be fair in the West foreigners earn far more than 35.000 THB for  being a teacher.. But here in Thailand it seems a lot of money

12.000 Thais working illegally in Saudi Arabia..... But no mention of that here

Let them pay for using the footpaths and make strict rules, but as we all know there will be no enforcement, except for foreigners, that is why it is a mess all over the country

Why can't you work in your own house....?  🤔

According to the law you need a work permit.... and that is really...So in fact you can't do anything in Thailand, but most of the time nobody cares as with everything

Don't come the place overcrowded everywhere, you can't walk and see anything as there much too many people shufflimng. And there is no parking space too... It is terrible. Last year many people complained about the bunch of people that were everywhere
