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.

Need to get Srettha Thavisin back to sort it out ... he had it humming along.

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

Now I'm confused ...

What about all the unlicensed school kids? They start riding these things to school from about 10 years old ... that's something that needs cleaning up ...

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?

555 His eyes are covered so nobody is every going to recognise him.

If people on holiday are not allowed to have fun and kick up their heels a little, they will stop coming. Being a little loud and laughing about is no reason for the Thais to break out their xenophobia ... Message to the Thais ... you will never get us to stay at home and just send our wallets or cash over. Need to lighten up.

Finally ... a well cooked toastie.

Ever walked down Soi 9 in Sukhumvit? It's a rear laneway for the businesses in Soi 7/1. All the vendors from Sukhumvit road go there to urinate ... It's the same by the canal paths in Bangkok and Chiang Mai and no doubt other places in Thailand. Let's not get emotive and blame the tourists.

Just stop pumping sewerage into the ocean. No chance I'd swim there ...

What is more of a mystery is "Why is the Air Conditioner compressor mounted on the wall inside"? EDIT - Looking at the photo again that may be an outside wall in a carport, so no need to howl me down ... I retract 🙂

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

I can not understand Thai parents who allow their children to ride unlicenced and (usually) without helmets when this country has such a high road toll. So many drivers here have no understanding of the road laws or a total disregard for them. Two 14 year old girls dead and I blame the parents as much as the drunk driver that hit them.

There is no excuse for pack violence or even individual attacks.

They really need to stop children riding motor scooters. They have no experience and pretty much fail to react in a serious situation. No licence or insurance so their victims get nothing.

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.

Ladyboy I'm guessing ...

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 ...
