Thailand to Implement 300-Baht Tourism Tax Starting with Air Travel
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The greed of Thailand.... 300THB entrance fee at airports, and when in the country you have to pay extra for attractions as tourist, imported foods and drinks are have already extreme high taxes( although they promised that wines and alcohol would be cheaper) and there is of course the double pricing.. Thailand will become more and more attractive for visitors..... -
Thai unjustice system at the top.... it takes 20 years to start a case for the massacre the defendants flee .. a new amnesty bill will be accepted and they can come back and live happily ever after.... But when a common Thai does a minor offence he/she is jailed immediately and gets a long jail term examples enough such as the so called section 112 violators

Thailand’s smog showdown: Clearing the air with a bold 30% cut
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The pictures says it all.. too many cars in a overloaded city, many out of date and cause a lot of pollution. Start with driving new EV taxies, busses and forbid parts of the centre forbidden for old cars as in many European cities already is...But talking and doing nothing will never solve this problem -

ThaiHealth Forum Urges Enhanced Child Road Safety Measures
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Do they have a clue what is going on in Thailand?? overloaded school vans and busses, kids without helmets and driverslicense and underaged on motorcycles with 3 or more, teachers who don't care at all and policemen who don't enforce any law, maybe just start at the beginning with proper education and the adults doing their job -
I am always wondering why the RTP is involved in the offer of sum for damages.. It should be done by court and an official judge... All this mutual trying to solve problems will only good for corruption and keep the culprit out of jail

With improper inspections, and low maintenance, and lack of educated craftsmen, there is nothing else to expect.... Many examples this week already, and put the low or non driving skills as an add and you have multiple chances of unnecessary accidents.. But as long as the Government, and the RTP don't care nothing will change

High-end Hotels Plan Rate Hike Amid Tourist Surge
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This smart thinking... Lower occupancy we raise the prices ... result will probably be even more lower occupancy High season we raise the prices every time and we complain why the occupancy is still down...Than we complain that we have so many costs and ask for help of the Government, instead of lower the prices which will make the hotels more accessible for more tourists surely now the THB is soo expensive... You can search on website in foreign currencies and use the exchanges rates to see what the effects are... BTW the High end tourists are not endless -

The investment in tourist industry shows again a lack of toilets.. These boys stand at the edge, but how many will go in the sea even on busy days and lots of people on the beach?? Solve problems by investments instead of making money because you lack to dosomething -
Thailand Eyes Tax Revamp to Support Ageing Population’s Needs
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Money will solve all problems in Thailand that is easier than making the roads safer, so that less young people die, or that people will earn a decent income so they have more kids, or give decent education so that people can get better jobs and earn more... No taxes and taxes and higher fees will solve all the problems. And because there was never any investment because struggle already to make ends meet there is no nest egg as houses or savings for the elderly and the tourism will go down further and further with less income for Thailand as there is no investment for new attractions, or ideas and with the change of the global travel behavior in the years to come and the extreme old laws tourists will find better destinations.. -
New Guidelines Introduced for Safer School Trips
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The problems are not solved this way.. They should be enforced a good inspection that is not corrupt, a good working LTD department that knows how ancient some busses are and they should be forbidden to drive anymore, although they look almost new... and many more. That will do the job... Anyway there is much more for student safety to as overloaded vans, crazy busdrivers, and open cars etc.... Make Thailand safer is nice to say but impossible to do -
