Thailand Tourism Industry Slumps: Urgent Reforms Needed
The expat community has such a small percentage of the finances in this case, so it´s just absurd to mention it. What they must concentrate on is to understand and assess the situation. We can start with, not putting all the eggs in one basket. The concentration of the country´s money flow is far too much concentrated on tourism. If we look at history, that will reveal many different countries which have been extremely popular tourist destination for many year. However, at a certain time, just to be taken over by other destinations. Today, the situation and the tourism landscape are telling a story of a change in popularity to countries with lesser development than Thailand. Today Thailand is focusing too much on making it hard for people to stay in the country, and far too many rules and regulations as well as a higher focus on foreigner causing problem than their own citizens. Often used in media to blow up the proportions. Tourism is shifting to Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos as well as a few other countries gaining popularity among the ones who before had Thailand as their favorite destination. What Thailand is missing, is that they still have all the eggs in the same basket. They must realize they are losing the battle in popularity as a tourism destination, mostly based on stupid decisions and fraud, complexity and double pricing against foreigners. Now it´s already high time to change the rules and focus, which might give back some position they lost, or simply focus on other ways of supporting the country and it´s population.

No Link Found Between Cannabis Decriminalisation and Psychiatric Cases
No, they found no link, as there aren´t any. They could have asked us here on AN, instead of paying a fortune for something that has already been researched to death.

Explosion strikes annual rocket festival in Roi Et: 30 injured
An accident possible to limit or avoid. The authorities should not look at the malfunction, as it is fully possible for a rocket the malfunction. That happens everywhere in the world. What they must look at is licenses, educated people taking care of the event and most of all security measures regarding storage of all other firework and the safety distance for the onlookers.

Please look at your own avatar, and no it´s not me. That´s like why they call it an avatar and not profile photo.

Police Raid Uncovers Child Prostitution Ring in Bangkok Karaoke Bar
There are no dots to connect. You took info from one article a refer to quoting another when asked. That has nothing to do with dots. It had to do with stupidity.

Really? How on earth can you sit in with such facts then? Or are you just guessing and making up things as usual?

What result? Do you really believe a discussion of this kind leads to any result? Delusional at best.

What is wrong with you? Take a single question out of context and post something so bizarre out of topic childish comment? You sure all is ok?

Ok, but you still did that based on the only sentence in the first post, right? Maybe you understand now, or do I have to repeat myself more. Starting to feel like a parrot. 🤣

Oh dear. Seems to me that you have a lot of experience of 15 year old girls, Ralf. How on earth would you be able to post something like that otherwise?

Mmmmm. Seems to me you take so much shortcut, that your are losing the thread. Or maybe it is because you are so annoyed. 😂

So, you think that is the norm and that common so you spout it out here as standard? I am really amazed by the widespread delusion here.

Are you still upset, or is using such foul language the best you can do?

Even if my first comment is vague, according to you, you can still not take info from the second one and later refer to the first. But, yet you did. Very stupid. After the first comment I clearly explain in the second how it was not anybody who was misled, as it has it´s bottom in deeply rooted and unfair Thai traditions. So, you do not have to worry your pretty little head about that I do not remember what I post. The girls were aware of what they were getting into and the consequences of it at 15-16 years of age. They were doing this to save the family and help mum and dad to pay back loans they could not take care of. The girls in question was not coerced into anything as that requires an act of violence or threats. In this case it was the parents that had those threats hanging over them, and they let the girls go ahead and in a dirty way save the family. Something that means exactly what I explained in my second post.

Election Commission Stands By Decision to Dissolve Move Forward Party
Yeah, but I don´t know if a dismissal of Thaksin´s case is something to post hopefully about. Move Forward, on the other hand, so far seems to be the best option for Thailand.

Ok, but maybe you should have considered to quote my first comment instead of taking one sentence of the second. Do you think that makes more sense? As you couldn´t even understand that, I see your replies as utter garbage. Drunk in a bar perhaps? No one notice you, and you just have to play with the phone. 😂

What in the world has 10 year old girls to do with this? I don´t see the meaning with your reply, as I also started my post with the below. Did you just have a bad Saturday? Instead of replying to the whole post, you just took one single sentence out of context and made it what you wanted it to be. Seems like you did not only miss the point, but the whole meaning of my post.

Airplane Makes Emergency Landing At U Tapao Airport After Landing Gear Problem
That´s kind of a crazy comment. What is best? Land when you have a signal for a problem before it´s time to land in the right place, or wait and see if the problem was temporary and land when it´s time. If the problem is not temporary, it will show in both places, and it will be same hard to land in both places. Waiting in this case, only have the possibility to be a win. The loss will be same in either of the situations.

Dual pricing on Shopee?
Your problem of paying a higher price was solved. Or was it no meaning with your post?

Airplane Makes Emergency Landing At U Tapao Airport After Landing Gear Problem
Yeah, but it does say. The emergency light is said to be for the landing gear. That was the thing that got me going, as I know nothing else can be connected to the closed circuit that handles the oil and pressure system connected to the landing gear.

Credit card deception
You have repeated this a couple of times now. Everyone is trying to tell you how to deal with it. No one can say absolutely for sure how they got you card info. It can be a various of ways. You can have walked by someone who had gadgets that can scan your card info. You have made payment online, and one of the systems you payed at have been hacked. Your computer can be hacked, and exploits have been sending your card info and passwords to the hacker. You have made a purchase with the card in a shop or restaurant and your info have been stolen. That´s just 4 of a 100rd ways to get card info. Now lay it to rest and take the advices you have been given.

My 90 day online report was rejected due to the hotel in bkk that I stayed at last week
No there are not, as they abolished the need to remake TM30 when travelling inside and even outside the country if the main address remains the same. It´s them, that should tell the hotels to ask us if we want them to make a TM30 of your stay. Until they change that again it´s only talk from them and can not lead to a legal fine.
