Thailand’s Songkran Road Death Toll Reaches 100 After Just Three Days
Thailand's roads are definately not a safe place any more. Even when it's not the Songkran madness, foreigners need to be aware that they can also get badly beaten up or assaulted on some property dispute or other issue and then find themselves in court. Like it happened to the elderly british couple in Hua Hin. Far better of to choose another country to retire. -

You can see it how you want. Fact is there are millions of people with money who go to Thailand on holiday. Things have changed.- 1

Sounds more like life has left you behind. Adapt or perish. In years past, there was space to tolerate lower socio economic tier visitors (LTV) , but a case cannot be made to to continue with previous policies that resulted in problems for the country. Higher socio economic tier tourists (HTV) are more valuable overall because; - They spend more on a greater diversity of goods and services resulting in greater economic benefit to the nation. - They are most likely to have proper health insurance, and when they do not, usually can self fund their medical expenses. The lower tier visitors have run up significant unpaid medical expenses and then left Thailand with the cost. - Higher tier visitors are less likely to get into legal trouble like bar brawls, fighting with ladyboys, overdosing, stealing vehicles or donation boxes etc. Yes, there will be some, but the sad reality is that it is the indigent type of visitor who gets into trouble. - The higher tier visitors are more likely to contribute or participate in social service actions, like supporting charities. Have a look at who visits for charity activities. Only people with financial means can afford both cover their own expenses, and volunteer for the charity. There are always exceptions. One that stands out is the young person, the people aged 18-25. They are valuable because a visit to Thailand can leave an indelible impression such that they will return one day when they are older and in a better financial position. Also, they tend to be less likely to get into serious trouble. One need only read the news sections of the forum to see that. -

Willy OAM u-tube for 4 14 25 went over the attack, and if I understood him correctly, there's standing orders from Kiev that WERE in place that there were NOT to be any large military gatherings anywhere! It was real smart to have an event in a civilian populated area that close to the front. -

Interesting that I’m now measured against people who work themselves into the ground all year, only to spend a fortune on two weeks they barely understand. That’s what qualifies as a ‘quality tourist’ these days?
