Phuket tops list as World’s Most Overcrowded tourist destination
wensiensheng replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
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. -

More Than Half The Senators Likely To Vote Srettha For PM
wensiensheng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 -
Scottish man becomes latest victim of Thailand’s perilous roads
wensiensheng replied to snoop1130's topic in Krabi News
To be fair to Thailands roads( which are indeed perilous) this accident as described, is all about rider error rather than roads -
Pattaya Traffic Police Crack Down on Arab Groups
wensiensheng replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
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

Why you should never leave a negative hotel review in Thailand
wensiensheng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Pita To Be Given Second Chance For PM: Wan Noor
wensiensheng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And that’s exactly why they won’t gain power. The senators know what might be in store for them. -
The reporting makes things very unclear. As I understand it the thai nominees are in trouble because they helped circumvent property ownership laws. I don’t understand the reference to evading property tax by buying and selling company shares instead of the land itself. Sure, property tax is avoided by doing that, share stamp duty is paid instead, but it’s not illegal. Unless of course it is done via nominees and all in the pursuit of evading property ownership laws. I see reference in posts to FQ. That of course only apply a to condos. There is no FQ for landed properties and the article does not indicate whether it is landed or condo property involved. anyway, a big fuss because something got too big to be ignored, then it will be back to normal again

Assault on Lithuanian female Tourist at Erawan National Park
wensiensheng replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
Personally, I don’t think that the PR spin put in the article in favour of tourism in Thailand is a particularly good example of investigative journalism. If you told me TAT itself wrote the article, I would believe you. Having visited Lithuania and received nothing but kindness and hospitality from the locals, I hope the victim recovers from the trauma she obviously suffered. -
Looking deeper into the numbers, just 15 people were “nabbed” for overstay. the rest were not at their reported accommodation, or had already left, or had visa applications pending, and, 109 had died! So no nabbing those 109 unfortunate souls. the headline is just ridiculous and bears no correlation to the actual facts reported.
