freeworld Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Every now and then this matter is brought up to rile up the foreigners. Surely some foreigners will see the benefit to help their fellow less fortunate compatriots as it was originally touted to cover the medical bills of those who did not pay for their treatment at the hospitals "Some of the tax money is allocated for overseas tourists who are unable to pay their healthcare bills while the rest will go towards the management of local tourist attractions." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longwood50 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Some days I see what is happening around me and believe I am surrounded by idiots. Then upon further reflection I realize that it is not just on some days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris333 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Barcelona is parched — and angry at quenched tourists Yet while a damp April has some brought some relief to the drought-stricken Spanish region — which has been living under rain-starved skies for over three years — the crescendoing tourist season did not. After all, spring is when visitors start spilling into Barcelona’s streets each morning from cruise ships, hotels and Airbnbs — and consuming considerably more of the city’s water than the average resident, threatening to push Barcelona’s water supply to the breaking point. Source: https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-barcelona-tourists-catalonia-anger-rain-water-drought/ If such things happen in Thailand about of water shortage because of thousands tourist presentation (drinking water) what the complains will be? And we are talking about of European region which run European Parliament Election between 6-9 June.....Congratulation to European parliamentarians "tricky" clowns....!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Aged Grouch Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 At the end of the day, why do we continue to stay in such a country that is so hostile towards foreigners ? When it's not for grabbing extra tax, it's the hassles on immigration, 90 day reporting or annual LTR reporting, visa issues with absurd and invented requests for documents or requirements that are unknown abroad. This is perhaps why Thailand remains still and undevelopped country. Oh of course, you no like-you-leave-it bla bla...sure, yes...already heard that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious, if Thailand is an undeveloped country that treats you so bad, then why haven’t you followed previous suggestions to leave if you do not like it?
