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 :)

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

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

And dont forget: educate your people so that are able to do at least simple things good.

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....

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

Where does the government think that the money will come from for Thais to pay for holidays? The minimum wage doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for family cross-country trips. Can those Thais eligible for the promised 10,000 baht handout from the government spend it on travel / holidays? 

 

Joe

Probably with 6 THB a day extra they could have an extra drink on an extra holiday.. Soft power, to boost the economy 

Maybe he can start with a working and instructed non corrupt policeforce. Now only some places at high ways have tents, crazy drivers pass nothing happens, no helmets no problems and black smoke they don't see. Check everybody not for tax but drivers licence, alcohol test and put cameras a 500m before the checkpoints so they can be stopped and fined.  24hrs not one hour a day

That's strange but TIT

I have been to the Queen Sirikit Heart Center in Khon Kaen several times for a heart check. No heart doctor referral required.

I initially went to their emergency room, because I was experiencing severe dizziness.   They did a EKG and determined that I was suffering from Premature ventricular contractions  (PVC ) medication was prescribed that brought the condition under control, and a Follow-up appointment  was  was scheduled, at the follow-up I reported that I had no incidents, and we reduced the medication to half and was told if I had  any more incidents to go back to full strength but if I did not, the next time we meet we will try to further reduce the medication to every other day and see how that works. 

Overall I would rate the care I got there as excellent, and very  inexpensive, 

But as I said TIT  this could only be true where I am.

Perhapse you might want to go to a hospital that primarily specializes in heart issues.

 

Ok, but you had a problem.. I don't have yet any, but in my family p, butlenty deadly heart attacks .. even after check up, as the doctor said you can't prevent it. I only wanted to know if my heart is still in a good condition by a stresstest or so... I don't want to go into the mill of many examinations etc and with a end result of nothing

Could you just not see a doctor and say " I think I have a heart problem" ?

According to the hospital I must have a heart attack...so pain in my chest, sweating, dizzy and/or radiation in my arm... Never mind they want to do it...as you can't prevent it anyway to get a heart problem 

I never will understand why they have to to carry a Thai flag, just like kids

No clue to solve the problem and to be attractive again for foreign tourists. So local tourist more public holidays more borrowing and loan  to show how wealthy the middle class is to go on holiday and more debts.. TAT why are they needed? they have no clue come with fake numbers and ideas that are stupid. And they call it a masterplan..

Seems pretty reasonable that they want to make sure it's your passport, whether by matching fingerprints or facial recognition, obviously every time...

So no need for automatic channels than :)

Camping?? What is that? do you have a permit for it?? O no? than a fine, because you are a foreigner

My passport has biometric chip for some years already. However I went several times out Thailand and came back, and everytime they need my fingerprints and photo.. Should i believe that these machine are working? Even with renewal your visa they need new pictures at the office every year and of course a paper pic,,  

Freeze the giant salaries of the company bosses.... until they are willing to pay a bit more for the ones who work and in facto give them their great salaries and profits
