    Are you referring to the “cherished destination” as mentioned in an article yesterday?
  2. wensiensheng
    Who the heck writes this stuff. The story is full of inconsistencies which make it hard to grasp any more than the gist of it……and then there is the “cherished tourist destination “. SMH

    I read it that Thailand is “currently hosting” 10k Israel tourists and they are experiencing difficulties returning home because all flights are cancelled, except for those of El Al. Consequently the latter are choc o bloc and Thailand has the problem of looking after those tourists who can’t get home on their expected date.

    I think the OP concerns the conflict in Israel and the impact that it has on Israeli tourists who happen to be in Thailand. OTOH, perhaps it is about the attitude of Israeli backpackers and the physical attributes of those that are female. In which case that bit went right over my head.

    Licence? You think they bother with holding that?

    Another injury. Good reason to increase the tourist fee?

    You can avoid the tax by never leaving ???? just trying to be helpful ????

    Are any of those taxes used to compensate victims of mass shootings by locals?

    So early retirement is known as “early retirement “. catchy slogan that they must have debated for weeks

    We will never know the truth so it’s pointless speculating.

    There are many things wrong with Phuket but I seriously doubt it is the MOST overcrowded resort. I come from Cornwall and I never go back there in summer months because every quaint Cornish fishing village is packed way beyond what is seen in Phuket. And parking is way way worse.

    Do you seriously think that happens in any developed country? Of course it doesn’t. You pay taxes when you become tax resident in a country and it gives you none of the benefits that simply being a citizen of that country would give. give it a break with the being a victim syndrome will you.

    Loopholes, by definition, are perfectly legal. So why wouldn’t he avail himself of it?

    I don’t think he cares about etiquette

    I don’t get it. The existing airport has minimal activity. So you revamp it, expand it? Why would activity increase above minimal as a result? if people dont want to fly somewhere, then they won’t. unless they think relocating the airport 3 km from the town instead of 30.

    Perhaps the outgoing minister should have done something whilst he was the incumbent minister, rather than make stupid comments while outgoing.

    Not quite true though. Assuming by “they” you mean Thai people. I quite frequently read about foreigners, tourists and expats, being injured, raped or killed. Not everyday, but more frequently than I would like.

    How to become the biggest opposition party in Thailand? Win the most votes and MP’s in a general election. what a system ????

    I get your intent and emotions, but inflation levels are not sky high, government debt is within pre set limits, personal debt levels are no higher than they usually are and global economic events are not only not frightening, they actually look better than they have for some time. Have a G and T and relax a bit

    To be fair to Thailands roads( which are indeed perilous) this accident as described, is all about rider error rather than roads

    Are they so tone deaf they don’t see anything racist in their “targeting”? the offense requires policing, the nationality of the offender is irrelevant.

    Stupid description isn’t it? There will be some criminal elements, some normal people who classify at the top end of Russian society and a few rich ones even by Western standards. my step daughter works in real estate in Phuket, 80% of the business is now rental to Russians, most on a limited budget

    Thai’s don’t do maintenance, full stop. there’s not enough margin in it to provide graft, hence budgets are always for purchases of new equipment/projects, never ongoing maintenance
  25. wensiensheng
    It’s easier and safer to post nothing. Even a back handed ‘compliment’ in the manner you suggest can get you in trouble if deemed to be negative, which of course is exactly what your suggestions are meant to be.
