Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
The UK must be the only country in the world to discriminate against their own citizens. In Thailand, a returning Thai would always be treated as a Thai by showing their ID card or passport, regardless of whether they live here or haven't lived here for a long time. Normally, an ID card or passport is enough to prove entitlement to avail oneself of certain services without having to do something as ridiculous as "residency". Not surprised Britain is doing that to its own citizens,we are talking about a country that is throwing out elderly people from seniors homes to make way for illegals and refugees. -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
It is commonplace all over the world for different nationalities to have differing rules for entry . It is based on the practicalities relating to likelihood of them failing to return/ overstay their visas. Obviously those from poorer countries ( and historical experience) do that more often - Thailand is one of those unfortunately Exactly... but add to this - Thai's have a relatively easy access to British Citizenship, especially those who are married. Conversely, unless working in Thailand, access to Thai citizenship for a foreigner is impossible. But, none of that is about 'dual charging' the flawed 'examples' are used to stray off track by people who are unintelligent enough to grasp the subject of 'dual charging'... In Thailand - Dual charging is based on Nationality and not residency, and this is why its wrong. The arguments which are used by some apologists highlight dual charing exists in many or our home countries always includes the flawed 'use' of charging based on residency and its a flawed comparison. -

Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare
The AI could have been programmed to pay out any percentage of claims they decided. Someone decided on 90% rejection. Personally, I have health insurance horror stories going back to the '80s. To the point I was never confident that I wouldn't be bankrupted at the whim of the insurance companies. My claims were always in the "few thousands of dollars" range. But I can see where someone who lost their home, their marriage or, God forbid, a loved one would feel justified in taking it out on the CEO. Boeing's recent cases prove that individuals won't be held responsible for deliberate decisions that killed hundreds. The innocent shareholders took it in the shorts. That's millions of retirees and others, who had nothing to do with the decisions. And if the law fails like that, what other option do people have? -

Charging for services in Thailand - increasing the prices?
Thanks I think what I really want to know is a nice way to tell them. I do business with businesses and in principle they should not be surprised when everything gets more expensive over time. But sometimes they behave like children, who just like to complain that the world is so bad, and now they have to pay more. I remember with a hotel, I knew their prices from the lunch buffet over the years, and I could easily show them that they increased their prices by more than I did. But with other businesses I don't know what they charge and it's not so easy to compare.- 1
