Thailand Urged to Tackle Foreign Influence in Tourism Business
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

New Bangkok Rules Limit Street Vendors to Designated Zones
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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. -
Big bike forced off road by car on Bangkok highway - video
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
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. -

Buses and Dining Cruises Under Scrutiny for Safety Checks

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. -
Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

Rising Baht Sparks Fears of Another 'Tom Yam Kung' Crisis
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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 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.
