These articles from South African news sheds more light to the story, than the useless article above: https://www.capetownetc.com/news/viral-plea-to-freeashley-a-22-year-old-from-george-allegedly-trapped-in-a-thai-prison/ https://www.iol.co.za/saturday-star/news/fight-to-free-sa-woman-in-thai-jail-after-she-was-bust-for-selling-ecstasy-despite-ex-boyfriends-guilty-admission-87157c79-6cc1-4768-a3c8-01656879a58a

Who would care about the availability of cheap short- or long-term female company?

The tax payers wil have to pay the bill any way. But by taking a loan, there will possibly be brown envelopes distributed to the involved politicians?

The delivery rider was driving way too fast and overtaking in the middle of a zebra-crossing, so he is clearly at fault. The delivery rider should be expected to be properly insured by his employer or, if self-employed, by own insurance? Not at least when driving around without using his brain. Sadly I almost daily experience motorbike riders overtaking me on the right side, when I clearly signal to make a right turn from the main road into my village.

Something needs to be done about the problem. During the last two years 1 Million motorcycles have been added to the roads in Bangkok and the main part of those are delivery drivers all driving like there is no tomorrow, just to make an extra couple of Baht per day. I regularily drive my motorbike in Bangkok, but the last two years it has become way more dangerous, as the delivery drivers are now swarming around you on all sides, searching for the tiniest small opening to push their bikes ahead in traffic. I would very much like to see statistic figures, showing exactly how many accidents delivery drivers are involved in.

Why even consider to own land and property in Thailand, without getting a permanent residence permit?

Maybe the attack could possibly even have been prevented, if the poor guys had used their money to buy health insurance instead of beer? If you select to be self insured, others are not supposed to pay the bills!

In congested Bangkok traffic, you most often don't notice the pedestrian crossing, before it is too late to hit the brakes.

Proper consumer protection is what Thailand needs the most. Way too many online sellers are selling products without any kind of warranty.

If they just killed the tigers to protect their cattle, why had the hides been meticulously skinned like prepared for sale?

How does an International Tourist Tax make any sense, when the governmant at the same time is trying to help tourism survive by paying half of the bill for Thai nationals? Do they really think, that foreign tourists are all rich and not equally affectey by Covid 19?

The article is not about prices in Australia but in Thailand! Back in early 2020 there were few masks for sale online, and the cheapest were sold for 800 Baht for 50 pcs. The greed had no limits and the government did nothing than proclaiming, that they would punish all overcharging sellers, which obviously never happened.

I hope that they will have more success, than back in 2020, when they miserably failed to control the mask price.

"The review, in which the customer complained that the stay was overpriced for the experience, has already been removed from the website." Can anyone mention a hotel in Thailand that is not overpriced? Since the government began offering to pay half of the price, the prices were immediately increased. If Thailand is expecting 1 million foreign tourists to visit in 2022, they will not be filling more than a few percent of the hotel rooms available, which should rather result in record-low hotel prices.

Thais are allowed to isolate at home or in a hotel but foreigners are not trusted and therefore need to be hospitalized. It's all about making money.

I remember they said something similar for Songkran 2021.

What urgency?? Do you think, that it should just be forgotten, that foreign people have gone missing in Thailand?

Where can we sign up?

The countdown will continue as planned, as the brown envelopes have probably already been distributed.

Obviously that's because the fine for not wearing a mask is significantly higher, than for not wearing a helmet.

The tourist attractions are already full of people travelling with government subsidy, while the hotels and restaurants are begging for more guests. Over-development of hotels near tourist attractions have caused an over-supply of hotel rooms. I had a trip to Similan Islands last month and with deserted hotels, I was hoping to find deserted beaches, but the place was full of young thais travelling with government subsidy. I definitely won't do that again, when the foreign tourists including the Chinese starts to visit Thailand again.

The many cars, busses and trucks spewing black diesel smoke in Bangkok and other cities in Thailand, is not only bad for your respiratory system. According to international researchers, increased levels of PM2.5 particles can cause a range of health problems, from heart disease to cancer. The PM2.5 have also been shown to carry virusses including (SARS-CoV-2) Covid 19 virus particles and fuel a further spread of Covid 19 virus. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cutting-diesel-exhaust-could-lessen-covid-spread-in-cities/

How about starting on your own side of the border?

SURPRISE!!!
