A very empty area (Thai Kitchen)  A lot of Long Tail boats a few kilometers to the North at the Golden Triangle.  The Long Tails ferry tourists across the MaeKong to the Lao trading market. No visa required.  Between the Thai Kitchen and the Golden Triangle on the Lao side are the Chinese/Lao Casino's

Legalize, Regulate,Tax

Another example of Thailand the Failed State.

And still the Government does NOTHING to stop this.  Chase Vehicles, Radar Guns, Transponders, and a Police Force incenticszed to stop speeders and others commiting aggregious driving habits.

I am sorry,  aren't they quarentining cities  still  in China.  When the restrictions in Wuhan did not allow the citizens of (Wuhan) to  travel to other cities/provences in China.  They were still allowed them to travel out of the country.  Sure welcome them back.  This guy has a death wish.

I wonder why one of the great lakes is not considered for splashdown.

A re engineering of U-Turns.  Flyovers thouch expensive to build would save countless lives and injury.

More traffic lights, An active force monitoring traffic with chase cars, motorcyycles.  Radar speed detectors and implantation of new vehicles to have transponders.  

Not that the Chinese have nothing to do with this  but, I think the blame would be better directed at the Lao Dams.  I am not near the Mae Sai house so ask that readers from Chiang Saen respond.  At this time of year and with the rain that Chiang Saen has been getting the upper MaeKong should be getting up to a worrying level.

I am sure the Guest Houses and Micro Hotels are juminp for joy/

If the restrictions re lowered for Retiree' I might consider moving...To an arrea not frequented by tourists from China. (or their gangs)

On a positive note the Sealife has a chance to recover.

Honestly,  What are cold weather Penguins doing ina hot weather environment like Thailand.  The least they could do is put them in a refridgerated enclosure.

Over what time period for bookings?  Over what days per week?  What percentage does this represent of all available hotel,resort and guest houses in the country?  

We are already told that these booked rooms are discounted.

Active mobile police patrols, Radar guns. Traffic lights where needed.  Changes to U Turns.   Respect for others on the road instead of the current push your way through mentality.  Real penalties for the responsible.  A Government that truly cares to ake a difference.  Input from the insurance carriers.

Going to a Mall is risky.  Going on a holiday or weekend is insane.

sorry; cheap
