I totally agree, but they only seem to think about tourist revenue in all of their 1/2 thought out plans. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy to Phuket, there is nothing Thai left to the place
As someone that’s been riding for 50+ years and is also a licensed pilot, the issue with most people is they have no Situational Awareness! I blame this on their lack of drivers education and how simple it is for those with licenses to get them.
I see this not only with Thai drivers but also with foreigners, expats, and tourists. Growing up in California where lane splitting is legal, there’s a right way and wrong way to do it and this was definitely not the right way.
I'm glad the rider is ok, but both drivers are at blame in this one.
Let’s see, tourist come to Thailand and rave about the fun of street food when they go back home and in return, more tourists come.
But with this plan a tourist goes home and their friends say, how was the street food, it’s awesome right?, and they respond, nope they eliminated most of it and Thailand sucks now, I’m never going back.
These 1/2 thought out plans cease to amaze me.
Kids are having kids here and they are worried about sex toy’s, seriously!!
The entire country is filled with overstayers and foreigners illegally working yet they opted to focus on the dangerous sex toy industry..gotta love their priorities.
I bet all their wives now have some new toys though.
The solution is so simple and why they can’t figure it out so perplexing.
Take a big bus, start rounding them all up, put them in a deportation center and when they’ve got a plane full, which should take about 30 minutes, have a huge photo opp in typical Thai style and deport them.
Rinse and repeat a few times and others should get the hint .
The best is DTV for “attending a concert”. I think these people will be in for a shock after the first of the year and things are in immigrations hands for extensions or re-entry.
While I’m not shocked anymore, this in itself just shows how dysfunction things are here. The left doesn’t speak to the right and no one thinks about long term consequences, as they are a short sighted bunch that only thinks about now
Were you born yesterday or locked in a closet all your life that you can’t figure out what to put in a sandwich?!
Adults need to not let their children play with phones!
I spent most my adult life working for airlines.
If Bangkok is your first port of entry and your final destination is within Thailand, yes you will clear immigration and customs upon arrival and then make your connection to a domestic flight.
If Bangkok is just a connecting point to a flight outside Thailand from the international terminal, you are a through passenger and won’t have a need to clear immigration or customs, you would just follow the transit passengers signs.
Goodbye border runners and those who try to live in Thailand without a proper visas. If, and this is a big If, it’s implemented correctly the system should deny anyone from unlimited visa exemption entries.
