With improper inspections, and low maintenance, and lack of educated craftsmen, there is nothing else to expect.... Many examples this week already, and put the low or non driving skills as an add and you have multiple chances of unnecessary accidents.. But as long as the Government, and the RTP don't care nothing will change

High-end Hotels Plan Rate Hike Amid Tourist Surge
This smart thinking... Lower occupancy we raise the prices ... result will probably be even more lower occupancy High season we raise the prices every time and we complain why the occupancy is still down...Than we complain that we have so many costs and ask for help of the Government, instead of lower the prices which will make the hotels more accessible for more tourists surely now the THB is soo expensive... You can search on website in foreign currencies and use the exchanges rates to see what the effects are... BTW the High end tourists are not endless

Thailand Eyes Tax Revamp to Support Ageing Population’s Needs
Money will solve all problems in Thailand that is easier than making the roads safer, so that less young people die, or that people will earn a decent income so they have more kids, or give decent education so that people can get better jobs and earn more... No taxes and taxes and higher fees will solve all the problems. And because there was never any investment because struggle already to make ends meet there is no nest egg as houses or savings for the elderly and the tourism will go down further and further with less income for Thailand as there is no investment for new attractions, or ideas and with the change of the global travel behavior in the years to come and the extreme old laws tourists will find better destinations..

New Guidelines Introduced for Safer School Trips
The problems are not solved this way.. They should be enforced a good inspection that is not corrupt, a good working LTD department that knows how ancient some busses are and they should be forbidden to drive anymore, although they look almost new... and many more. That will do the job... Anyway there is much more for student safety to as overloaded vans, crazy busdrivers, and open cars etc.... Make Thailand safer is nice to say but impossible to do

No equality for LHBTQ community, and hitting teachers with bamboo sticks in schools?? Underpaid work and not allowed to stay home for sickness or even burial as we could read this year, and that are not all cases but just a few. And the list can go on

Warning issued for 16 areas in Bangkok at risk of flooding
The Government said no flooding in Bangkok so, now maybe a bit of water in the streets but don't worry we will never solve the problems as in a few weeks the dry season starts and all problems are solve then..

It is not about qualifications as a lot of Thais lack it ... It is that it is not allowed to do a job a Thai can do, and as all Thais can do everything, you need almost a university degree and dozens of copies to hop that you can get a job...
