I don't think the Tourist tax of 300 baht will make any difference for people travelling to Thailand and there is plenty of them coming Russians Chinese to name a few ????
The air fare is probably their biggest expenditure
It's not that we can not afford the 300 Baht. It's much more the feeling of being scammed over and over again.

17 hours ago, snoop1130 said:the landing tax will be used for domestic tourism development and for insurance coverage for tourists while they are in Thailand
Since expats are obviously considered tourists in Thailand, can we now safely cancel our expensive health insurances and use the arrival tax insurance instead? Does anyone even know what this insurance covers?

Thailand's tourism industry shooting itself in the foot again!

The rich quality tourists would have to carry an additional bag, if they should bring the receipts for all expensive contents in their luggage.

Someone have to take the blame, so that the scam can continue. A fine wake-up call not to be caught red handed! In the future make sure that there are no witnesses.

Bill Heinecke: "Crazy to give vaccines to tourists"
May I suggest to mr. Heinecke, that a lower price on junk Food and Hotels would be a much better solution, to bring the tourists back to Thailand.

Why not, if anyone is ready to pay for it? In my neighborhood quite a few policemen in uniforms double as shopping mall and gold shop guards.

Depends if the warranty was extended by the dealer which I doubt. Porsche offer up to 36 months warranty.
I guess that this factory warranty is void, if the car is imported as spare parts and re-assembled in Thailand.

Both the worker and the driver is at fault. But not noticing the accident would be nearly impossible. Looking more closely at the photo it appears, that what the worker was painting is actually a small speed bump.

I love the rainy season.
Me too. But that's only because the rainy season is equal to less tourists.

Of course the premiums you pay will increase after a claim is paid, the same as ALL insurance companies. The actual premium doesn't increase, but making a claim results in losing your annual 10% no claim bonus, which is then reinstated if you go another 12 months without making a claim. As for not paying out readily, you'll find that usually occurs if there is a pre-existing condition with regards to the claim. As an example I'm with Pacific Cross and declared that I had arthroscopies to both knees in 1989. They still consider this to be a pre-existing condition (in my opinion wrongly, as pre- existing conditions are only supposed to be considered as such if they occurred in the 5 years prior to joining the health fund) and will not cover me for arthritis in my knees. The only thing they will cover for my knees is broken bones.
I will have to correct you. After claiming a payment for a procedure from Pacific Cross 4 years ago, I not only lost my no claim bonus, but in addition a 25% penalty was loaded to my premium for the following 3 years.

Many have already cancelled their bookings! How many of them will book again, maybe at a higher price?

Went a few months ago for concerts there, no toilets could be found so had to go across the road to the old station. Seems far too large for what it will be used for.
I went there for vaccination 6 months ago and there were nice toilets, but very well hidden without any signs pointing to them.

"Peter's" friend followed him or mistaken identity.
Phra Tamnak looks like not the shortest way home, he likely meet somebody there/gave lift to Peter's home or somebody else he had met in the pub
Maybe he just took a short detour, because he preferred the chicken from the mini mart in Phra Tamnak. He could then easily drive to his home in Huay Yai via Thepprasit rd.

I find it very hard to understand, how tourists are able to enjoy travelling to such crowded locations.

A few months and "slow" season will be upon us fortunately.
The chinese tourists used to love visiting Thailand in the "slow" season, due to cheaper prices and less sunshine.

I wonder who he believes. China who reports 1 death per day or the western medias, who reports a current up to 9,000 deaths from Covid 19 per day in China.

If you are man enough to do the crime, you should be man enough to do the time (when getting caught).
