The lack of understanding of this unnecessary mass loss of life is unbelievable...but then life is cheap here. it could be a new tourist attraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamTheFarang Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Why is it everything is money, they think that reducing the overall holiday cost by 1000Baht just around $30 will make Chinese come back!! They have more morales than that. Better solution would be to make sure innocent people are never killed again by the same circumstances. This will never happen as the money needed to do so will unlikely be provided. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is to stop corruption at all levels with heavy punishments for ALL offenders from the very top all the way down. Make the country safe including all the passenger boats and the roads. Force the police to do the job that they are paid for, put the Army where it belongs, back in the barracks and emasculate them so they cannot make a coup any more. I told you the solution is simple but it will never happen as there is far too much money and face involved. Simple? The only thing simple is the author, if you think it's simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyngai Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Give it a few more months and everything will return to usual. Many zero dollar Chinese tours and all type of serious accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping coruption, and nepotism is the first step, followed quickly by installing global benchmarks etc., re safety and more. But if corruption isn't 90% - 100% is not gone then the new benchmarks will not be observed, will be avoided, will be ignored and won't produce change at all. And it's pretty obvious until there are very serious mandatory punishments forcorruptin, transparent investigations (inclusing reform of the police), much more scrutiny of the judiciary and their findings nothing else will change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainman333 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 if reworded correctly, might make it more tempting. So instead of free visa entry, they can say free massage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
