Sounds like the hotels are frustrated because of how strict the approval process is. Guess that shows how much the government wants to curb abuses?

The deceased may have been a local and not obviously a tourist.

Therefore, graft has been ruled out?

I sympathize. I think both far left and far right (just reductive labels I know) tend to go overboard.

Who's bigoted? FINA?

Anyone taking bets? JK

Yup. Heavy handed regulations only disadvantage the law abiding and the conscientious, but scammers and criminals will go through the back door, which has not been shut. So, lose-lose.

If the Thai authorities start to mess too much with taxes (capital gains and worldwide), there will a large outflow of expats and consequently revenue. Fingers crossed.

Methinks the administrative police take their policing too seriously. Chill out, man.

Straw man, misquote, non sequitur.

Duh. Had a lady seated behind me who behaved like that, and she was American.

Faulty logic. Yet you parade yourself as logical.

Lies and insults detected. That's why I said "suit yourself." Didn't think you were really into facts and figures.
