Don't see a problem eating off the floor many Thais do that Daily.

Many thought it was disgusting to serve chicken in a basket.

if i know a cover will be removed i will put marks on screw heads or Nuts like a timing mark on an Engine, not big it will be recognized only by you. Check mileage on leaving the bike then recheck before you leave the garage ie workshop if there are a few kgs extra you know its been used apart from a test run.

Wait for someone to fall asleep put his fingerprint on his phone bingo or wait till he is drunk.

No just basic checks, if it looks suspicious like a heavy-looking rucksack common sense. I remember riding into the underground car park at Jungceylon in Patong where everyone was made to stop and lift your seat on a bike and a basic check was implemented.

TAT Only thinking this incident may turn away tourists less tourists less cash coming in.

Yes if it prevents a bomber or a shooter,

And make sure the TV Crews are there to film it,

I'd be interested in what a person who is haunched over with a heavy bag on his back would be carrying in that rucksack into a venue be it a concert hall or a packed shopping center. Wouldnt you be suspiciouse if your on the door or on a security walk about.

Mmm imagine a suicide bomber being allowed to walk into a big shopping center like Parogan without being searched and Detonating it. We in the UK know only full well because a Suicide bomber wasn't searched. He detonated a bomb in Manchester killing 22 people mostly kids in a Music venue and hundreds were injured could he have been stopped? yes with a quick search.

It's just Greed plain and simple. Once Thailand Re-opened up what did they do to lure Tourists back? Increased hotel prices, increased Domestic flights, increased prices, increased or invented silly rules to squeeze more money from incoming tourists, to recoup for lost revenue brought about by Covid. Don't be fooled the Tourism figures were already falling due to the greed, rip-offs, and the way you were treated. We were seen as just here to be fleeced, with no respect or customer care. Now you can't even complain if your hotel is dirty or treated unfairly. All they have to do to alter the decline is listen to what advice is given, stop prioritizing other countries treat all tourists the same, offer discounts on hotels and domestic flights, and offer 90 day visas on arrival in a stamp on your passport as you enter no silly proof of this, proof of that, fill this in fill this out nonsense, and most train all staff in the tourism industry to make the tourist want to return with curtesy and manners.

The Golden Hen has stopped laying on Thai Tourism and it has finally sunk in. Tourist numbers are well down so what do they do about the decline?. Blame other factors such as Covid the world Economy, So how do we react to this decline, tell them it's just a small drop all predictions are on track with more Chinese arrivals because Thai Airways told us they are putting more planes on for them. Thousands are coming in from Kazakhstan as reported last week. In the west we know and understand why its declining we have given you the tools to recover your declining Tourism but like everything you ignore the help and carry on the rip offs, the dis-respect for Tourists, your stupid visa rules your lack of telling the truth and racist views.

We in the EE are preventing Russia from taking over another country and raping and killing their kids would you sit back and let Russia carry on Middle Age ? or are you ok with the Thai government allowing Russians to flee the draft and hide in Thailand.

I flew LHR to Bkk last year cost me £800 plus rtn shocking Cabin staff hardly moved out of their Galley and closed the curtain had to constantly press call button to someone for service. I live in the North of England so i had to travel down before my flight the day before and stay overnight in a hotel prob best part of £300 before my flight because Thai only use Heathrow.

So with the potus soon to be admitted to a care home and the Ex President soom to be in Jail whats the future for the Yanks in the next five years.

It gives me pleasure watching bigbash going off like a Re-Coiled spring and throwing his toys from the pram. as shown. likes to dish it out but can't take it back.

Ha ha your funny one repose and your off flaming i dont mind you putting me on iggie just don't grass me up.

And there you have it a typical response from bigbash are you the Snitch too.

Been reading this thread and for my 2 bahts worth bigbash is your typical poster. Winds people up then when they respond he runs off to complain and try's to get you banned. likes to give it but cant take it back and has to insult you and flame you.

if you only want to commute around town a cheap set are ok no need to buy a Merc when you can buy a mini still get from A to B. Just because they're cheap doesn't mean they're dangerous. They will still serve the purpose.

Racist what about Western tourists getting the same free visas hassle free ?

Phuket throws its arms up and celebrates thousands of Khazak tourists as visa rules make it easier for Chinese and khazah tourists flood in. Phuket welcomes Chinese, Kazakh visa-free tourists PHUKET: Tourists arriving from China and Kazakhstan today (Sept 25), the first day of ‘visa-free’ travel for people visiting from the two countries, were welcomed at Phuket International Airport with much fanfare, led by a delegation of officials and leading tourism figures. tourismeconomicsChinese By The Phuket News

He was arrested the Red Bull murderer is swanning around a free man.

Expected a word TAT likes to band around. On Tuesday higher than the original figure expected will have arrived as is it is usual statement from TAT.

555 Yes Maddox even as we speak a Thai Government spokesman will be formulating a statement accusing China of committing offensive material offending the Thai people and a ban will be in place. Now instead of pampering the Chinese tourists they will turn on them now there not returning.
