Thailand Eyes Passenger Fee Hike to Fund Airport Upgrades
The Thai Government has destroyed the tourism and now they have no idea how to solve this problem and attrack more tourists.. The only thing in Thailand is that everything is money based but not on investments, or updating old things to become a modern and safe place, but as I mentioned, the airquality, unsafe roads, double pricing and standards are based on the outdated idea that foreigners have a lot of money and are rich, as you can read in some comments that they claim that it is only $3... but they forget that visiting a national park cost 600 THB a person as for a Thai only 50 or so.. and same we could read about taxis, and hospital bills and the list can go on... Thailand needs to reform as you write, indeed and invest in tourism and when they have to offer things they can charge, but now they only want to make money what they are missing, which will give the opposite effect.

Man Stabbed Multiple Times After Confronting Neighbour Over Loud Motorcycle Noise
Again a situation that shows the lack of work by the RTP... Complain and nothing will help. In my soi a few primary school kids ride a motorcycle too, very smelly of petrol and a lot of noise and speeding in a soi that hardly is big enough for 1 car, but it seems kids from a policeman or someone from the tessaban and nothing is done about it...Neighbors only complain to eachother as nothing can be done against it. So we just wait till they will be picked up by an ambulance once....

Cyber Police Urge Thais to Stop Spreading Fake News and Inciting Violence
That are just the sources that are not reliable....Thailand has a strong censure in everything that is broadcasted, so if you want to know reality foreign media are more reliable. And critical thinking is not done..It will be discouraged at schools and if you do you can end in jail.. as we have seen already with students in protests, when they did some critical thinking

Peace Under Threat: Thai-Cambodia Border Dispute Intensifies
It is a private war between father and Uncle Hun Sen.... They fight with the tax payers money and refuse any mediation, just to show who is in charge... The times of the sixties in America are over unfortunately, although it would solve many problems here in Thailand.

Rising Tensions: Is Full-Scale War Looming on Thailand-Cambodia Border?
According to the Dutch News states that it seems that a personal disagreement between Thaksin and Hun Sen is the cause of these shootings and attack. Thaksin even stated that he let the army do as they want to "teach Hun Sen a lesson".. The US China and Malysia have offered mediation, but Thailand refused it as they can solve the problems themselves... Just to say..... again I suppose the Shin clan is the one who makes the troubles

Retirement Lottery: A Fresh Approach to Savings in Thailand
Sounds good, but with the gambling addicting that is already going on, it will be a new burden for the people, who hope to win a big price in the lottery. Never forget that Thai people live by the day..There is no future investments for most or thinking about tomorrow. I would scrap the plan

Thai and Cambodian Troops Clash Near Ta Muen Thom Temple
The only thing I miss in all topics is what happened really... I can not imagine that Cambodia starts to fight, but I know that Thai news is not broadcasting all facts, and only approved news. This is another example I believe...

Bangkok Airport Chaos: Aussies Fume Over Qantas Passport Demand
, it is generally not allowed to give your passport to someone else. A passport is a personal identification document that belongs to the issuing government, not the individual, and is not transferable. Lending or giving your passport to someone else can lead to legal issues and potential misuse of the document. Why it's not allowed: Personal Identification: Passports are specifically issued to an individual and contain their personal information, photo, and other identifying details. Government Property: Passports are the property of the issuing government and are not transferable. Potential for Misuse: Allowing someone else to use your passport can lead to identity theft, fraud, and other criminal activities. Consequences of giving your passport to someone else: Legal Penalties: You could face fines, imprisonment, or other penalties for misuse of a passport. Criminal Charges: If the passport is used for illegal activities like fraud or drug trafficking, you could face serious criminal charges. What to do instead: If someone needs to prove their identity, they should use their own passport or other valid identification. If you need to share information from your passport, such as a passport number, make sure you are sharing it with a trusted organization or individual and understand the risks. If you are traveling with someone else's passport, even if you intend to return it, you could face legal issues.

Thai Police Chief Orders Nationwide Drug Crackdown
Same as all crackdowns... 3 days and it is over , back to normal.. Look at the latest helmet crackdown.. I have seen policemen driving around and a lot of people without an helmet, but the police officers just pretend they don't see them, it seems only roadblocks can be a problem for motorcyclists... so that is a Thai crackdown. instead of everybody without a helmet put aside an ticket them on every road.. This will not be different... I know that there is a man in our neighbourhood is caught several times for drugsdealing, but with an envelop he still continues....

Thailand is the land with the most ghosts. I see many possessed people too on motorcycles..

Thaksin Unveils Vision to Transform Thailand into ASEAN Powerhouse
a hub again.... maybe the best hub is to get rid of the Shin clan....Higher fares he is proposing for PSC, as the 300 THB is on hold now.. but what will the traveler notice to pay more for nothing?? Thailand is not Singapore, look at their airport and compare that with the boring airport of Thailand, besides that the living standards in Singapore are not the same as in Thailand.. He can compare the same fares with Paris too, The man is getting senile, or crrazy.. Time to get rid of this whole family asap
