So you think Thailand needs more broke alcoholics that don’t want to spend what little money they have locally?

Small thinking... local alcoholics don't need a visa and those who are living here already and became alcoholics are a minority.. All the rest are normal people

Thai people can't play sounds on normal level.. Everywhere you go there is much noise even when they speak with eachother they have to scream and parties and temples activities the music is so loud it can be heard km's far.. Today there is a kind of shadow show somewhere but we can hear it inside my house, and also in shopping malls, hostesses are screaming in the micro and nobody is listening and shopping at any Big C, Lotus's Tops or wherever seems like a club than a relaxing shop... So although I feel sorry for the tomboy in this case, but probably it was not the first time that she had too much noise,and it is known that loud noise is used sometimes as a torture.. No wonder that people act like this... it is the drop

Thailand must update their old laws so that foreigners can do volunteer jobs too.. and must be tax friendly, scrap the alcohol control laws, lower the alcohol and foreign food import taxes, and be friendly to foreigners.... That will do more good than easier visa conditions...Don't see a foreigner as an ATM, or a criminal, or someone who will destroy the Thai culture...because that is what is being done now..

January 14

Soft power with mostly music so loudly that you can't communicate.. or people who think they can sing..... sure

January 13

Not enough money of her own and she must borrow 4,4 billion THB more??? Bit awkward. Same case as the watches of Prawit... borrowed from a dead friend...

January 13

Soft power to attrack tourists..... Everything safe in Thailand, don't worry

January 13

At last a normally cold season... It was years ago we had these temperatures

January 12

This man is good for nothing.. He should do his own first properly as he refused to sign the Equal Marriage Bill which brought a lot of confusion all over the Amphurs in Thailand.. Besides that his mismanagement in the Covid crises and his anti foreigner policy and his own corruption with the elections, should be wise to keep his big mouth shut

Then he cannot fly back to his country?

walking is as far it only will take a bit longer

January 10

It is clear that vaping is forbidden just a smoking, but detaining someone for it???? Better put him on a blacklist that he can't fly for a few years...

January 10

There is no dual prime minister system... Thaksin rules and his daughter is the marionet who will speak for him and do the things..

January 10

Good...... let all the tourists and especially Chinese and Korean tourist go to Phuket... and with the expensive THB and extreme prices Phuket will be very happy and the rest of Thailand too... Better one part of the country than the whole country drowning in tourists

January 10

And this kind of accidents are keeping tourists away... It is not safe to travel from A to B on the Thai roads... Maybe Thailand think that the foreign countries don't know about these terrible, irresponsible, and uneducated drivers

The school and the neighbourhood should be ashamed.. They know what is happening and left the kid alone.. The school should have interfered as he did not come, and many other organizations failed, as we are used in Thailand...Nothing for the poor but everything for the rich.

Not only the human trafficking is thread but also I think there nothing special anymore ... I was a few days in Bangkok and there were only restaurants as Japanese, Thai, Korean and Chinese and everywhere MK like style restaurants... Nothing else to find. Happily in the soi of our hotel there was El Gaucho an Argentinian restaurant a French restaurant and a Tapas bar... And the shops are all over the same, cosmetics, clothes, shoes and drugstores...So I was wondering what has Thailand to offer to tourists??? Shopping is very expensive eating is everywhere the same choices, and danger on roads and scams all over the country... No wonder people going to find other destinies.

Mr Anutin is too budy with other things as he still refused to sign the law again. Except that it is a pity that th organization of the mass wedding did not announce what they are organazing. Simply a autograph will not attrack many couples, but with several activities it would be possible to get many people as they wanted.

January 7

So what are they going to do? Many are vaping on the street, even policemen, government officials, guards, and many others.. How can you forbid something that is out of control already. looks the same as the law to wear a helmet. A foreigner is finef, the Thai can do

Notably, Trat, Yala, and Samut Songkhram recorded no fatalities.

and many provinces will probably not give the correct numbers as they don't want to be a dangerous looking province... Anyway as long as there is no better driving education and no enforcement of traffic laws 24/7 365/365 it will be dangerous on the roads and become even more every year.. Read the narticle of the 13 year old one who died on a motorcycle. as an example, and make parents responsible for the lack of responsibility to keep the kids away from their motorcycles. Here in my soi another 4 grade kid is driving around on a motorcycle...

January 6

The Thaksin clan is several times removed by coups already... Why should it be this time different?? Thaksin is already too much involved and the PM is more busy with her family and business than with the country

January 5

Same story all the time... 13 year olds are not allowed to ride a motorcycle.. where is RTP to enforce the law where are the parents and why do they allow it?? Tragic but normal in this country

January 5

That number is lower than in the past years, but maybe that is why they made it 10 days. , This year average of 36 a day Last year 284 in 7 days is average of 40.. It looks better, although for many families more grief than party for 2025, and next Songkran again for other families and it goes on and on

I want to see the first foreign man married to a Thai man register their marriage, claim the Thai man to be the "husband" and the foreign man the "wife" in the marriage, and demand the same considerations as foreign women who are married to a Thai men.

For you gay expats out there - here's your chance. No more proving financial requirements, and after three years of marriage you can apply for Thai citizenship, just like the foreign wives of Thai men.

Whose gonna be the first one up to give it a shot?

You are well informed... The law is changed from man and wife into person.... No man and wife anymore... all the rest is the same

I don't think the curve is/was the problem

Do tell. Seems to me that some are just jealous. She just has a nice amount of assets. It is nothing much to make a fuss about.

In 2021, Thailand had about 125,400 millionaires and 1,300 multi-millionaires. In 2023, almost 900 ultra-high-net-worth individuals in the country had an estimated $30 million or more in wealth -https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexledsom/2024/11/21/what-it-means-to-be-wealthy-in-thailand-and-how-to-get-visas-to-move/

that are 127.600 people on a population of 76 million....And who are these rich? Ministers, military, and others and some business people...The people with debt and no money is many times higher

She has handbags. Jay Leno has 180+ vehicles and 160+ motorcyles valued at USD 55 million. Jeremy Clarkson is worth 70 million USD that includes large real estate holdings and vehicles. Their homeland media doesn't pester them as you would have Thai media pester the PM. On the contrary, Jay Leno's vehicles are envied and Clarkson's obnoxiousness is celebrated.

The woman likes purses. Some men and women have jewellery worth much more. Others collect baseball cards or comic books. Action Comics #1 sold for $6 million USD. No one made a fuss over it as you are doing over a lady's collection of purses.

Sadly to read comment like this... you have to get some more things to learn i think
