deja vu.. Prayuth had promised after the Gay Pride to arrange the Gay Marriage and it was accepted in the parliament. However after many committees and readings and delays still nothing. Now again first reading and accepting 4 bils.. They have to merged to one and it will take again months, and delays that I don 't dare to hope that Gay Marriage will be possible in 2024... They should have voted yesterday to accept one law and gay to make gay marriage possible on 1st of January 2024 or.. so but this in Thailand.. nobody dares

That was 16 November, why not go to hospital sooner??

It is not the duty of an IO to check if you have insured yourself. They have to hold you when you did not pay the hospital bill or damages... when you leave the country

I think you misunderstand my post... I know 15k is too less, but it is much more than the 370 THB a day nowadays. There must be a start.. Monthly salaries for 6 days a week working.. Companies will cry fool as it is too expensive, but they have to do it...and with so many holidays and extra days off people on dily wages have to work or don't get paid either. with 15k a month at least they are free and have their salary paid. Ok not much but a salary of 500THB a day is better than 370 I think.. It is just a start

just as an example.... Tourists should know they need always a travel insurance...travelling without is the stupidest thing ever...

You have to do kit in your home country not on the arrival.. You travel always without one??

The health minister is promoting less sleep and more accidents, more use of drugs and alcohol.. He is really worth his job.. But just wait a few months and everything will be different again

It is a start......at least better than they have now .... No I am from Europe where the people fought for their rights and were brainwashed. maximum 6 days a week working and not more max 8 hours a day... But here they shout it is unaffordable too expensive, but how much money is in the pockets for the top? They could miss a bit I am very sure

That is why minimum wage should be 15k a month..... who the hell can live of not even 9k a month with prices only going up??

One minimum wage for the whole country everybody is the same for the law.. And start with making montly payment so that at least all the holikdays are paid too with at least 1 day off a week.. I think 15k a month is decent

decide tomorrow and make it a law now.. Waiting for more than 15 years is more than enough, The senate have to decide about it too and they are not so willing probably as Move Forward is involved..Probably again delays for months again

It is the responsibility of the traveller/tourist to have a health insurance. Communicate that instead of offering free services...For a Schengen visa it is an obligation to have a travelinsurance

Tax reduction would be very good. Overpriced wines will not be bought by many expats. When I am in Europe I can drink in a restaurant a good quality wine for 15 euro. Here a bottle of chateau Migraine is even more 900 THB is no exception, only because of tax. And to atrack tourist and boost the consumption of alcohol stop with the sales and buying hours. Sell to adults only and if you doubt ask for an id.. I have grey hair enough so they will see I am not underaged anymore. Besides even at wholesale businesses like Makro there is no possibility to buy.. Childish enough they block the area with chains and don't dare to get in for a look as they send you out.. Little bit more adult behavior should be in place but as long as people come back from Israel carrying Thai flags i fear the worst

For people of 65 indeed, but when you are retired at an earlier age it doesn't count... Then you have only 60.000 free as personal allowance and of course the 150.000 zero tax. Now fair in fact pension is pension

And when you bought at the airport where you left already some stuff and buy here again, customs will will check you and confiscate and fine you as you are bringing in too much tax free stuff :)

Most tourists buy their stuff somewhere else.. Duty free shops in Thailand are overpriced and with the restrictions of alcohol and cigarettes there will not be so much to earn for the Government, but what else could they think with their brains?

Double pricing far too expensive and in fact only for people with some experience. hopefully they are closed when the rainy season starts

I am wondering what the court does.. In 15 years time they can't produce a decision.. same as many old cases about Thaksin and Yingluck, delaying everything except if it are protestors.

First damage and destroy than take some measures to try to repair the damages, find out it will not work, blame everybody and safe your face.. That is how things work in Thailand. Advice... stop double pricing, be welcoming to all foreigners, and stop with all stupid ideas..

What a stupid idea.. there are more cars driving around with blacksmoke that pollute more and get rid of all old cars of 25 years and older.. grilling pork will not help so much, but fine burning ricefields, and factories that will emit much more

Minimum wage should be 15.000 THB a month for working days not more 25 and 8 hours a day... No bullsh..t that it is too expensive, or impossible. or whatever.. People are still treated as slaves here in Thailand. Long working days 7 days a week and for 350 THB a day?? and the companies and CEO and Government earn millions...and yes, who plays more on the cellphone instead of doing their job , is responsible for him/herself when they are vfired. Probably when you work you can't have time to play the cellphone. If there is so much time in your job, that you can play the phone than there is not enough work for you

They are so well educated that even simple things seems to be difficult...

But it is THai justice and that is something different than normal justice....

No news.. I have said it already months ago...with a conservative Government that only does pocketfilling, and nothing to improve tourism, infrastructure, double pricings, and manipulated THB it is no wonder that it will go backwarts... and of course blame the pandemic but other countries had the same and do better

NOthing to be ready for.. just close the doors two hours later
