not a tourism fee an entrance fee for a country that will do double pricing and standards for all foreigners. The long term vis holders should be exempt too as they live here and are no tourists, but contribute a lot already to the economy. But Thailand never has enough and the greed will bring the country down.

Again a example who is running the country... The army came to "rescue" his fellow, but happily the RTP did do their job and kept him... I am wondering what will happen as I suspect that maybe the agents will have to explain or get an other post because of this

That should not be too difficult, as when you walk around in Bangkok you will many places which sell e cigarettes and vapes.. But for a crackdown you need a working policeforce, but that is difficult to fine anywhere in Thailand. Working is bad word

There is just no control and enforcement of any rule in Thailand

Thai people are not educated to lower their voice when they speak.. screaming is the normal here.. No wonder I suppose as everyone has an ear damage already because all the noise pollution in parties, temple activities election driving around cars and at home even normal talk is impossible... Go to a restaurant and the music is so loudly played that a conversation is impossible. But also at home.. my neighbours have a barbecue every weekend and they make a lot of noise, and at the other side there is a small restaurant with rice soup, where the owners speak so loudly I can literally hear what they talk about... and you have to know there is a soi between our houses and they live on the corner and I am the third house in the soi, opposite site of theirs. So please stop with blaming foreigners for things Thais do same and more . Thailand is full of Thai people and only a few foreigners

TAT soft power to attrack tourists.. Why is nobody doing something about this kind of accidents... All busses should be checked before they are allowed to ride out, with decent driving times for the drivers and several drivers in a bus with a good education and responsibilty for the people they are carrying... But government, RTP and companies don't care about anything... Fines should be skyhigh and they will loose their license to open another similar business for lifetime. But........ I keep on dreaming

Normal in Thailand.... so no news

Not only in Pattaya noise pollution.. Everywhere in Thailand.. Somewhere in a temple about 800m my place they play music so loudly that we have turn on more volume on our TV. Don't understand why neighbours don't complain to the temple and/or police... Although we know that both don't care at all. Enforcing max DB's is impossible in the land of smiles

To clean the drinking water...... ask a stupid question and you get a stupid answer

Waaw a crackdown again for 2 days and than business as usual... Drive around and see how many black smoke cars drive around and nobody cares... Just a simple new filter and problem solved, but if there is no enforcement no awareness and no need to change why do it?? Checking if tax is paid is more important

It is all about e cigarettes that are in fact less harmful than normal ones... But for the normal ones there is no witch hunt like for the e cigarettes.. Probably the rich and elite who owns these factories are afraid of losing their profits to e cigarettes.. Solve the problem with all smoking and make it very expensive.. People will stop, and the tabacco industry will die out

Where is the Chamber of Commerce for?? All businesses should be registered, without any exception, and it should be checked if they work confirm their contracts.. Illegal hotels would be impossible as all businesses needs an accountant, tax pay, and annual fee for the Chamber of Commerce, register in the place where the business is and in case of condos you only can have one appartment to live in and if you only can rent to long stayers with a contract for at least 5 months, and of course announce it to the immigration.

There should be a permission given for a parking lot in front of you business, door or whatever by the Government.. and the fee is a rent of that space, maybe 20k a year... Otherwise people claim to be the owner of the spot nobody can park anywhere anymore.. Many times you see they block parking space with chairs or pilons or whatever, but the road is not theirs and it should be forbidden to block the space. The police should check if they have permission and than no problem, but agh I forgot... working and enforcement.. Not in Thailand

and she showed too the latest raids by the police in Pai? the problems in Phuket and Pattaya? the scam of foreigners and the long cues at the airport?. It easy only to show what is beautiful and peaceful, but the reality is totally different in Thailand, no matter where you go.

Tonglor again... maybe a proper working policeforce that checks and do their jobs would solve several problems...Or change the police offers who are working there now

speeding on wet roads....Thai driving education and use of common sense.... and maybe even some alcohol involved and of course tiredness as it is early in the morning...

Shocking indeed... just as teachers dress up like women in school acts or teachers who stimulate coyote dancing to their students.. or students who make copulation movements on music.. Thai education is one direction. That does not mean I approve this act, but come on there is so much sex dancing around at temples and festivals and everywhere.. Kids grow up with it

Thai tourism is unbelievable.. They want tourists and when they come there is nothing good about them. Millions flock in and a few don't behave. What do you want? Do you want to be a tourist destination handle it... if not, like in Pai, close the hotels and remove the attractions and no problems... But that will cost you money and that is more important.. so complain and look what will happen.. and than complain again that people ignore you

What a rubbish of the netizens... a tattoo of a Buddha image and they all are hurt in their feelings, but the coyote dancers in the temples when boys are being a monk or with parties is no problem.. Even the copulation actions of the dancers are allowed.. On the temple premises .... and than comment on a tattoo??? Temples and monks are not allowed to party and why are there so many parties at the temples... and why all these coyote dancers with almost no clothes on?? That is Thai Buddhism and allowed?

There is more about the story and she is found already

A new reason to keep masks on... The company will earn millions as so many people never stopped wearing a mask and now the Government start to promote again... It would be wiser to wear a helmet than a mask on a motorcycle, but that is too smart thinking of me

She not much worth than 20K???

Again the mai pen rai attitude is ruining Thailand. If someone buys a condo they must register it on their name and are only allowed to buy one appartment for own living. If they want to rent out the others they should go to the chamber of Commerce and register their rental company and also the conditions for the business, such as max stay, how many people and rent etc. With accounts, and taxes. But here in Thailand everybody can as they like.. so you this kind of situations, just because a lack of rules and enforcements. Corruption and maffia although it is denied on all levels.. and this is the result. And Chinese... yeah if a guest in a hotel can't behave, the hotel has the right to refuse them.. So if they don't do as the management want it, send them away, with or without police

What are public spaces??? alcohol consumption in a bar.. is a bar a public space?? smoking cigarettes on the streets?? is that a public space?? and how about the netizens? They are all without sins??

Israelis even can't behave in their own country...
