Tourism Minister Aims to Levy 300-Baht Fee for Visitors
it's equivalent to a couple of cups of coffee, no right minded tourist is going to refuse to visit thailand for such a small amount. many countries levy entrance/exit tax on tourists, it's really no big deal. but if you feel strongly then go visit a country that doesn't tax tourists. -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
Anyone married to a Thai that enjoys life can easily spend that much, not everyone lives in a jungle environment. You are the expert on everything. I have a large group of foreign people I hang out with and they all spend well north of 65,000. -

Swift endorsement turns more voters from harris than it attracts…
But this is a perfect example of bad politics. They are trying to write laws with a bit of subtlety to deal with rare and difficult situations with some discretion for a reasonable common sense solution. So Trump being Trump summaries it by saying babies can be executed after birth and his supporters say yeah Democrats bad. -

Thailand’s Aviation Set to Soar Amid Rapid Travel Revival
Thailand’s aviation sector is ready to soar, fuelled by a surge in air travel and jet fuel demand, according to Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services Plc (BAFS). The refuelling giant, which serves Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports, is eyeing a bright future as the aviation industry bounces back from the pandemic slump. BAFS President ML Nathasit Diskul revealed the company’s impressive expected 18% year-on-year revenue growth, forecasting a staggering 3.6 billion baht this year. "One of the key reasons for this trend is the increase in air travel, which has driven up jet fuel consumption," said Diskul. Between January and June, Thailand’s jet fuel usage skyrocketed by 17%, reaching an impressive 15.7 million litres per day, up from 13.5 million litres, according to the Department of Energy Business. A booming tourist season, visa-free entry, and an uptick in flights over extended holidays have all contributed to this surge. Looking ahead, BAFS projects a 16% jump in jet fuel sales in 2024, expecting to pump 5 billion litres, up from last year’s 4.3 billion litres. With the aviation sector picking up steam, the Bank of Thailand noted a rise in foreign tourists in July, with 3.1 million arrivals, up from 2.7 million in June. Visitors primarily from Malaysia, China, Russia, and Europe helped drive these numbers, despite a slight dip from Middle Eastern and Indian tourists. Airports of Thailand (AoT) also has ambitious plans to upgrade Suvarnabhumi Airport’s capacity to accommodate 80 million passengers annually by 2031. This follows the opening of a new satellite terminal last year, boosting capacity from 45 million to 60 million. AoT President Kerati Kijmanawat emphasized the company’s goal to see Suvarnabhumi among the top 20 airports worldwide within five years. With both BAFS and AoT committed to scaling up operations, Thailand’s aviation sector appears to be on a clear path to recovery and growth, ushering in a new era of heightened connectivity and bustling travel activity.

Thai woman caught lying on baggage conveyor at Krabi Airport
She did nothing wrong since she wasn’t sitting on the conveyor belt, she was lying on it. Next time change the wording on the no-can-do sign. -

When I read the headlines I thought she was lying (not telling the truth). 😂 Maybe laying would have been a better word to use 🤔 -

What is the best way to watch old movies at home in Thailand?
That is the easiest and most reliable way to get old movies. I just connect my PC to the TV with a HDMI cable and stream PC -> TV Thailand has VERY fast internet and it should only take a few minutes to grab most 720p or 1080p movies using bittorrent. -
