It’s not just about entry to attractions. I’ve been to restaurants where the English menu has higher prices than the same food in the Thai menu. We all know about the ever present farang tax. The actual amount doesn’t matter, nobody likes to be constantly exploited. If something is worth a dollar, it should cost a dollar regardless of whose pocket it comes out of.

How do you get that? Thailand has no conflict with Laos, Myanmar or Malaysia.

What sort of deal is this? Sweden sells military hardware but the buyer isn’t allowed to use it? I’d be buying from a different source.

I will shed no tears if the current government is voted out at an election … the issue is the use of the courts to rule on charges that seem less than legitimate or even worse, a military coup. let the people decide who should govern them

Its not about $3 ... if every door you go through charges an extra $3 it soon adds up to a bloody expensive holiday ... People just get fed up being ripped off. If something is worth a dollar, it should cost a dollar, no matter whose pocket it comes out of.

I wonder why tourists are no longer coming?

I wonder what visa they actually have ... probably Elite

People have forgotten the gift from the Russian Government to Afghanistan (A beautiful Super Highway) that was then used in 1979 to invade the country ... Being able to move troops quickly is vital.

This is the perfect way for China to quickly move tanks, equipment and troops through South East Asia once they fire the starting gun.

Maybe they can spread April Fools Day across 3 weeks as well

I love how this works ... announce a 3 week Songkran, then have a meeting to discuss and plan it. What could possibly go wrong. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will hold meetings next week with the Culture and Interior ministries, the private sector and other relevant agencies to discuss details of this year’s Songkran celebrations,

Without jumping out to the full article on Thaiger, I didn't see any reference in the AN post to indicate she was unlicenced or didn't hold a motorcycle class licence ...

I'd even be happy if they bought back the 45 day visa exempt ... longer is better but 45 is better than 30 🙂

As Thailand is a signatory to the Rome Convention (membership to the International Criminal Court) they would have to arrest him when he touches down on Thai soil.

After a year underwater it isn't worth salvaging. The money should be spent on stabilising the wreck to ensure no further environmental damage. Drain the fuel bunkers, remove any explosives and let the diving community use it. Of course, as it was not prepared as a dive site, there is considerable danger and snag hazards.
