As a Greek citizen from Athens I feel ashamed for the unacceptable incidents by westerners towards Thai citizens and Thai Authorities must take immediate protection measures by banning the entry for five years to western tourists who use violence against the gentle and smiling Thai citizens

Thats a crock........... are  they going to give Thais who hit "westerners" 5 years in a Thai jail no reduced sentence, and define "westerners" how  about Indians?

Do what every other country does when it short on labour, bring them from neighbouring countries, lord knows

no shortage of those from Laos and Cambodia just dying to come work here..

they create  massive hurdles for employees  and employers, its  not worth the  hassle for many, weve had Burmese when it was more relaxed but now its  all aggravation. They should  just give Burmese etc a  work permit for ANY  job in ANY province for ANY employer.

For me little things like being addressed by my name, small talk and the things I don't even notice like lighting and cabin air pressure all contribute to a "good" experience. They add value. So does being able to relax in a lounge before the flight

i agree its subjective, because for me none of those matter at  all, all I want is the space, the other stuff is  just bumfluffery.

However all those u mention could be done in economy bar lounge  access but theyve even ruined that by letting in anyone with £30-60 these days

The bbc  wont run with it unless they can get some sort of diversity inclusivity crap in as thats  all theyve become since.............. a  long time  ago.

If you can avoid being reported to 'checked in' at a hotel you can save yourself the trouble of re-reporting yourself when you're home, for the immigration office that insist on it

 

say you had a weekend away and the hotel reported you moved there say in Phuket or whatever and you didn't report that you 'moved' back to your usual place, would this be a problem when you present the initial TM30 at immigration that might not match where they had you last in their system?

just the fact youre being tracked where you go is enough for me to try and avoid it.

Some hotels won't let you check in with just Thai driver license now, 'policy is for passport' 

What exactly is required of them in order to report T.M. 30? the passport number on driving license might not be current is understandable

 

for hotels that is this strict about reporting I doubt pink ID card would be acceptable too, it's not like they can put you down as a Thai person checking in

1. take a Thai with you use their name

2  many small places by me 500 baht a night dont even bother, did it myself 3  months  ago whilst neighbour was making a lot of noise one night, gave them cash walked in at 8pm walked out 7am no paperwork, good  for them and me, stuff the state and its nosiness. Rural area.

The lie-flat feature doesn't get much use during the day.

disagree and  on  almost everything else too, lie  flat when you travel intercontinental is a  must and is  used on every flight ive been on, if  you only travel 3-4 hours maybe not, Im talking LONG HAUL 12hours  plus

By paying a salary like this, there are plenty good ones if you pay like that.

Thats not the  case, doesnt matter  what you  pay them.

been saying that since  about 2014, very hard to find ANY workers and in the 12  years weve been hiring  have only found 4 people who were actually  decent, the rest are  just dross, a  good 85% useless, unemployable mostly because they are bone idle.

bob you obviously dont live in a gated muban as just last week you were complaining about a bum peeing on your gate. So why would a simple townhouse down a soi have a juristic person? I think your neighbor who does like like you is playing with your head. 

 

Nah you are simply making this up as you do 99% of the stuff you post.

but does it really matter?

 Talking of TV shows anybody remember    Casey Jones,

                                                                          Vision On

 And one more that's not been mentioned but surely not forgotten  the obviously psychedelically influenced and more than a little weird 5 minute production that delighted kids every night at around 5.45pm   I am of course referring to    "The Magic Roundabout"    Starring as far as I can remember ,amongst others  "Florence, Brian ( the snail)  Dylan ( a  spaced out  rabbit) Mr McEnery ( a hyperactive guy on a tricycle) and of course Zebedee ( a bizarre spring thing )

   I think it was a french production overdubbed into english

                                                                         

 

good  fun for the dog, an owner who cares, either that or the dogs  going to the circus!!
