Tourism Thailand's Tourism Industry Faces Pivotal Moment as Arrivals Decline
This is the industry that Thailand has hung it's hat on. Moreover, while Chinese gangsters run amok around the nation - it bemoans the fact that fewer are coming. In fact it would appear the bottom has dropped out of that sector entirely. Now, Russians overtake even Indians as a primary country visiting Thailand The thought has never occurred to them to encourage long stay 50+ western foreigners. Instead, is next to impossible for even all Visa holders to open bank accounts, it's still impossible to legally own a tiny plot of land, the hospitals legally and routinely double and triple charge for services, the government and private sector goes out of its way to exclude foreigners from perks that would an exact same case it provided to a Thai. What is the extensions are still far more of a hassle and complicated than they need be. Last but certainly not least is the new taxation coming online. Foreigners will be taxed for staying a mere 180 days in the country and for this tax they will receive absolutely nothing in return except for the privilege to live in a somewhat lawless and rather chaotic country. I think the thing that bothers me the most about all the foreign criminality is that it ends up tarring all of us with the same brush. -

Tourism Thailand's Tourism Industry Faces Pivotal Moment as Arrivals Decline
The reality is that tourists simply have too many options these days, Thailand has gotten more expensive, and Thailand has not bothered to improve itself or address any of the problems that have been plaguing tourism for a decade or longer. I was in Phuket last year and the island is now one big garbage heap, people seem to keep on traveling to Phuket but it was such a pale shadow of what it was when I was last there 10 years ago. It was absolutely infested with low end Malaysians, Arabs, Indians and especially the spectacularly unpleasant Russians. No thanks, I never need to go back. The traffic was an abomination, everything was overpriced, Bangla Road was utterly horrific with barely an attractive woman in sight, and the entire place just reeked. Yikes. -

JD has the mental capabilities of a turnip. Without trump leading the way and dictating the agenda JD is clueless. -

Transport Thailand's Transport Ministry Accelerates Infrastructure Expansion
The progress on the High-Speed Rail Project is absolutely pathetic, there's no reason why it should be taking so many years to build one short corridor. Just go ahead and hire China and they'll have the entire country down in a couple of years. The same applies to Rama II, it is at least a decade behind schedule, and they've only partially built out to kilometer 36? What are we looking at two more decades? Head should be rolling, the people in charge should be imprisoned, and drastic actions need to be taken.
