At least the money stayed in the family, as long as they lasted.

In my soi it's a cat and mouse game, where the police regularily remove the street vendors and patrol for a couple of hours. But the next day it's busines as usual, with all street vendors back in place again.

Cars and motorbikes are moving at totally different speeds on these roads, which leads to countless dangerous situations. I am having these near death experiences every time I am driving my motorbike in Bangkok. Lane splitting is a dangerous sport for motorbike riders, who should only be doing this at own risk, since every time you are overtaking a car, there will be a split-second, where you are hiding in the cars blind angle and many car drivers are constantly changing lanes, in a desperate hope to predict the fastest moving lane.

So who is going to do the Inspections Thais have no Idea what a comprehensive inspection is, All inspections should be comprehensive not just now but in the past and in the future. Who trains the Inspectors ??
They will probably use the same inspection centres, that inspect and approve the many smoke belching busses and trucks, that are the cause of so many pollution related deaths in Thailand each year.

I prefer to continue paying with my credit cards, which gives me an average 45 day credit, 0% rate payments, special discounts and points that can be used for discounts or cash back. Only if I was given the same benefits with scan, I would consider to use it. Scan is like an electronic credit card, but without all the benefits, that the banks are happy to pay me, just for using my credit card.

A beginning would be to remove at least 50% of the cars.
That would require lower prices and more trains at the BTS & MRT, so unfortunately it will never happen. -
I love that the cheap chinese imports are now getting even cheaper.

Excellent point. During Covid, manufacturers were using shipping containers to store their product quay side, because it was cheaper to store it there than in warehouses. That led to a massive increase in container and shipping costs, as well as a shortage of supply.
I can agree, that manufacturers were using shipping containers to store their products "quay" side, but not because it was cheaper to store it there than in warehouses. Container rental charges is deliberately set high, in order to avoid this scenario, but when warehouses are full, you will have no other options.- 1

Lucky for him, that Thai customs didn't arrest him, but chose to inform customs in UK instead.

I fully understand why Thailand are planning to tax expats in the country. At the moment Thailand is one of the few countries that are not already doing so. BUT when being fully taxed, all expats should also be able to enjoy the exact same benefits as Thai citizens, like 30 Baht hospital visits, getting the Thai-rate in private hospitals and not being overcharged everywhere we go! Having only a low pension, that would actually be a win-win situation for me.

You are totally right. But what they can do, is to freeze your bank account!

Temu's business model is different. The others have independent merchants that sell their goods on the platform. Temu contracts with manufacturers to buy a lot of certain items that they then sell. The choice on temu is therefore significantly less than the others. I tried it in Canada and was not impressed.
You couldn't be more wrong. Temu also have independent merchants, who are selling the same products at different prices. The model is more like Amazon, where all items are stocked or sent combined from Temu's warehouse. The products at Temu are more or less the exact same products, that you will find on Aliexpress, Lazada and Shopee.- 1

Backpackers are probably more profitable tourists, than the Chinese and Indian tourists they are currently targeting.- 1

This could be closer to the truth. When he was found, his phone was missing, so yet another mysterious case on Death Island.- 1

But the phones may also be used or, most likely, stolen. If the latter case is true, then well-deserved jail time for the Aussi-Canadian felon.
In 2017 he was arrested under the name of "Ho Wun Howard Lee", an australien music producer, so we should maybe change it to Chinese-Aussi-Canadian felon.- 1
Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
in Thailand News
Posted
Thai businesses are all quick to raise their prices, as soon as TAT predicts that more tourists will be coming to Thailand. Perhaps this is the wrong way, to compete against foreign influence in the tourism business.
