Sure and if they could push in all the Chinese that would be even better.

I feel embarassed to admit, but the McDonald's in Thailand are far more fresh and tasty then those served in many western countries. Not to mention in the USA where the bread and service and quality was a disgrace, if compared to Thailand, This being said, also embarassed to say Indian food in great in Thailand. Reasonably prices compared to similar quality in India. Strangely, never managed to find a decent Chinese restaurant service the good old chicken shop sues, a decent egg fried rice, or the beef sauteed in oignons. Top level hotels did have but was not able to find a decently prices one. The scam in restaurants in Thailand however is with the italian restaurants, that are far to expensive and overcharging the guilable et naive patrons.

sorry but on many services like food delivery, transport or in malls, the price is exactly the same if paid by phone QR scan or cash. Sorry.

Most of those who facilitate the passage of the illegal migrants all over the world are criminal mafia groups who often are in league with the domestic mafias or politicians or industries. They enjoy the cheap labour that comes under none of the specific laws of each western country, Allowing illegals to come and stay in being an accomplice of the unacceptable and disgraceful exloitation of the vulnerable. So yes, may seem harsh, it is harsh, but the only way to stop illegals from comming and to cut the grass below the feet of the trafickers, is to deport the illegals on the spot. Europe should learn a few lessons from Trump. I don't like the gentleman but he is the only one doing the job unfortunately.

Not surprising that Thailand is done. With all the cheating all over against foreigners, the tax doubts on foreign income, the visa hassles by immigration and the red tape, the lack of respect in many places towards foreigners, all the drug drunks teen junkies from the west that are give a free passage and mainly the overcharging and cheating by anything from the taxi driver on arrival to the crooked contractor who shamelessly overcharges the foreign home owner during maintenance works etc. Even the malls in Thailand are now at similar prices to the west if not more. At one point those who can, are fed up, rent or sell their homes or condos in Thailand and will naturally spend the long winter months in Vietnam. Like or leave it ? Ok fine, people have took the word and are leaving.

All the fuss, hassles and red tape from immigration on visa issues could be something annoying, Getting cheated from the crooked contractors all over for home or condo repair jobs.

Really...does the UN not have anything better to fight about ? Why not try to stop the current wars instead of remaining a puppet of the corrupt regimes who are provoking or indirectly supporting criminal wars all over.

I do not trust a word of anything comming out from the authorities. There will be fuss and hassle if one stays to long in Thailand and they will just continue to chase away foreigners and the retirees who are those bringing in the big money - much more then the hoards of teenage drunk brits or westerners or chinese etc...

I prefer 100 times the useful geckos, rather then those deadly snakes that seem to be all over now. Laugh if you wish but in many parts of the world not known to be snake infested, snakes are showing up here and there. There are discreet campaigns in many European cities informing on the number of people who die from snake bites all over. Climate change mabe who knows ?

Thanks to all the leftist woke socialist environmentalists feminist vegans, Europe is slowly destroying itself and the far right extremists are comming into power all over. No suprise.

Definately going to avoid reserving a ticket if the plane used is a Boeing.

It's rude for a driver to peep behind his passengers !! What shocks more is how the tuk tuk and official taxi mafias cheat people.

Not surprising if one looks at the service in many food courts. Sure, the prices are decent in not charging more then 100 THB or 150 THB per dish. But the portions are ridiculously small and one can taste the stale oil and other excessive additives I recall those food courts in Hua Hin town malls, They need to improve the quality and serve decent portions.

Oh really ? no more falangs to cheat ? Make campaigns for local suppliers, restaurant owners, service providers, hookers etc...to respect a bit more the foreigner. Stop all the absurd threats of foreign earned income or pensions. Punish by law all those crooked building contractors who openly overcharge foreigner home or condo owners and deliver badly finished work, mainly in places like Hua Hin where it is getting from bad to worse and prices have reached a similar level as Europe, with of course very bad finished work, Make all the visa issues for the retirees who own house or condo, less a nightmare, Stop all those absurd document requests. Any person who owns house or condo in Thailand must get a hassle free visa say for 5 months, multiple entry and stop all those absurd re-entry permits, 90 day report, or digital arrival card. All these hassles and they are still surprised why foreigner and retirees are fed up and those who can, are leaving for Vietnam or other cities in Asia ? Thais keep on saying you no like it you leave. So fine, foreigners are leaving and not comming. Simple...

Totally unacceptable as just as many jobs, such road rashness is a function reserved only for the Thais !!
