  1. I like the serie end 90ties and beginning this century Oz... but maybe forbidden to watch in Thailand
  2. Yes refuse the vaping to be legal and let million cars and motorcycles drive with many of them blacksmoke.. the few cigarettes will make the difference
  3. Thai influencers... foreign influencers must have a workpermit, which they will not get as it is only for Thais and foreigners are bound to the strict regulation of all the rules that will limit their freedom of speech and writing, as defamation, section 112, and other laws for computer crime and misuse will be forced on them.. Thai influencers only do what them will be told
  4. THailand is afraid the will loose their best friend China??? As China now shows that Thailand is not important enough anymore ??
  5. Indeed... make normal alcohol laws as no alcohol sales/buying for youth below 21 and by doubt id required... Stop to allow the entertainment industry to open after 2 am...and make bartenders responsible for the amount of alcohol someone can and may buy...If a totally drunk ask for more he must be able to say you had enough... And cancel all alcohol sales/buying bans on Buddhistic holidays, afternoon between 14.00 and 17.00, and on election days, as when you are drunk you are not allowed to vote.. Now it is all a mess as mom and pop shops sell, several licensed venues are allowed, and those who bribed the RTP too.. Stop with it and make clear laws
  6. An independent organization as the International court is not recognized, but if Trump only favours Thailand they will accept the ruling...And Thailand forgot their close ties with China who will never accept that Trump will be the intermediator.. Thailand is already a spare province of China
  7. Once a criminal always a criminal .....out or in the country... no difference
  8. It should be easy.. in the new charter should be that everybody is equal to the law, no matter what position you have Thai or foreigner... The poor or the rich, the elite or the common people.. The laws are for everybody the same .. Corruption and bribing will be severe punished. Judges should be independent and not installed by army, or government and those who misbehave, are corrupt or others will be stripped of all their assets and banned for lifetime...And get rid of many outdated laws...and be clear in what the fine/punishment will be .. not vague as it is now... you will be fined for up to 20k and or prison for 1 year.. That is unclear.. NO just say if you break this law you will be fined 20k or if you can't pay the fine 1 year jail..
  9. It is not only the Christian Church, but what about the Government ??? they teach things that are outdated and not correct anymore and fraud?? Elections, corruption and the list can go on...
  10. It shows how rotten the system is... in fact it are illegal workers because the workpermits are difficult to get, takes a long time and a lot of paperwork required.. Happily it are workers from the neighbouring countries, because if it were other foreigners, fines, deportation or even jail would be done.... What about the companies that hired these undocumented workers.. they are not being fined???
  11. Everything is up, but they have chosen articles as fruit and vegetables that are growing in the rainy season and are cheaper because there is a lot of it.. All other products are up, except the diesel they lowered the price this week a bit, maybe to come to these figures.. Everything in Thailand must look good, but the reality is totally different...Prices are rising as we can read with 20% or more.. and especially imported articles..
  12. THanks to the THB that was weakened for 2 days.... Next week we will read that the numbers are down again as Blackpink cancelled the show
  13. A bit difficult to accuse someone of murder before the killing....
  14. What a nonsense as it seems that fans from all over the world will come to Thailand to see Blackpink....Blackpink perform in many other countries too so it is very unlikely that that fans will come to Thailand only to see them...If the hotles are full booked it will be because of Thai people who likes them, not by tourists
  15. The THai Baht is only a part, which indeed makes Thai holidays very expensive, but there is more wrong in handling tourism by Thailand and people will avoid this country more and more, It is going on for a few years already.
  16. With the coming elections all has to be done to prevent that The People's Party will win these... As much as possible negative news must be aired... It only doesn't work.. and Thailand should stop constantly using the defamation threads.. Critics are needed and are a part of the freedom of speech in a democracy.. And with the pics as proof it is almost certain there is something wrong and what has a South African businessman to do with Thamanat and Thaksin, who don't have a white soul too
  17. But bthe foreigners are the bad guys.. I think in Thailand the Government, army and its cronies are worst enemies of the country. All are corrupt, and don't do anything for the population except filling their own pockets, while the people have to make ends meet every day and are being brainwashed how trustworthy the Government is
  18. The only problem is that the BJT has to win the elections, and I am almost sure that they will not
  19. Happily Thai drivers never cause accidents like this..Of course only foreigners
  20. Thai kids can learn English , but they don't do it... The law that they always pass and can't fail prevent that they even study...I was a teacher for 20 years and I still don't understand that after 6 years English many kids can't even answer what is your name or count to 20.... and that after more than180 hours English...And it was not my teaching, as the Thai English teachers face the same problem.. And my experience with backpacker is that many were very good to teach and they spend their money in Thailand which stimulated the economy...but the government is not happy and made impossible rules and low payment to discourage them to come, as they are afraid that the kids will start thinking and so they will lose their grip on the Thai people
  21. Malaysians are not brainwashed that it is the best country of the world as in Thailand nothing else exists as only Thailand.. That is probably why Thailand is losing it.. no changes for decades, as for alcohol sales hours, vaping, 90 days reports, as it seems you are a criminal, outdate labour laws such as for guides...and the greed because of corruption and laziness is gigantic that is why double pricing, extreme taxes for foreigners and imported articles are contributing to the downgrade of tourism and the country.. But many Thailovers here don't see the problem, while even several times they comment that leaving is better for the foreigners, as they have no clue what in reality the foreigners contribute to the country.. Brainwashed by the idea that Thailand is the place to be, but a negative review of a restaurant or hotel can give a lawsuit for defamation.. Things have to change in Thailand really to make Thailand a welcoming country again. And yes negative comments are needed for that so that it is known what they can change
  22. If the nature in Malaysia is much more beautiful than in Thailand I would not dare to discuss.. There are nice places in Thailand, but I saw recently that the building and construction in national parks are destroying a lot, just to serve the high society to get beautiful houses in a shaded area...Besides that immigration is very friendly and the people speak more English than Thailand.. In a recent Dutch article it was stated that Bangkok and Phuket were famous for their scamming and warned people not to use their creditcards for renting things but pay cash nothing about Malaysia however... These things will not benefit the tourism, and I am sure everywhere there are troubles, but when places are named, it will surely cost visitors.. Thailand need serious foreign people to restore their tourism, as with the conservative and illogical thinking, they will never succeed to restore
  23. I am almost convinced they will collect it by the TDAC card.. Every tourist can fill it in for free now, although there are website who will charge you.. But the easiest way is for Thailand to let them pay for the TDAC 300 THB.. easy money to earn...And Thai people don't need to fill in and so not to pay for it, although several are coming for holiday too.. But the brainwashed idea that foreigners are rich, will all pay
  24. It only can be a foreigner.. Thais will not do such things as stealing
