[webfact]

 

Tourism tax/arrival tax looks like it's on the back-burner for a while, Surat Thani gets a tourist surge, how about Phuket's tourist arrivals? The Thai Meteorological Department predicting 'heavy rains' and 'strong winds'... we check out the real situation, yesterday's meeting between the prospective Thai government coalition members, prediction of more dengue and zika in the future, motorcycle sales booming in Thailand.

Tim Newton Today is a daily take on Thai and regional news and issues of interest to expats and foreign tourists.
