Dogs have increased exponentially and so have monkeys.
Monkeys make sojourns all the way to the mermaid statue area ..unthinkable in the past.
Authorities have a huge problem in their hands as they cannot cull them
'....upon complaining for the severity of the fine, it was reduced to 5 baht.
A slap on the wrist was also added to the penalties
Tourists were issued with a stern warning.
'If you had stayed home, none of this would have happened '
My take..
It will be a right mess to enforce this.
What they might do..(I hope not)..
They might come up with an income or expense level that the average farang needs per year.
Somewhere say, between 20-30k
Then they will tax this.
Much easier to implement.
I don't think there's a single Thai person ,high-class excluded, that hasn't been jolted several times in his life.
They are immune to it..until they aren't.⚡
What a garbage article (in the Pattaya News)
Illegal entry to Thai, monk impersonation and no punishment other than deportation?
Unless the 'journalist' came to this conclusion himself. ????♂️
They won't be ...errr....cough cough....'funding' it anymore..
Not that they were funding it for years prior to the COVID outbreak of course.
That would be a conspiracy..
