The never ending quest of TAT to increase tourist numbers to try to plug the blood letting in the economy, gleefully trying to stuff their coffers full of tourist cash, to get them out of their debt hole, they have come up with yet another brilliant money shakedown to bolster their flagging economy. They now are going to fine tourists for consuming alcohol  outside of their self imposed Draconian "Booze Laws" - Unbelievable, they plan to impose fines of almost $500 for offenders.

 

Who on earth wants to spend their hard earned cash on a holiday where deluded puritans are going to fine you $500 for having a beer before 11AM or between 2 and 5PM and whatever other random times they deem necessary to extort some cash from the poor holidaymakers. Way to go again boys, fingers on the pulse as usual, Keep on cutting your noses off to spite your faces. 

 

The Charlie Caroli Clown show rumbles on inexorably.....

Not really sure why it is headlined for "Aussie Tourists" I would have thought any tourists money is as good as the next mans, but maybe they just hate Aussies?

Not sure why it is headlined for Aussie tourists? 

 

By KYLIE STEVENS, SENIOR BREAKING NEWS REPORTER, AUSTRALIA

When you have a government that's comprised entirely of people who are appointed based on connections or people who have paid for their positions, we can't really expect any talent, much intelligence, vision, foresight, clever decisions or decisions that benefit the country in the long run. Unfortunately Thailand is mired in this never ending sludge, and the only way things are going to change is if the youth are allowed to lead this country.

 

It will happen eventually. Dinosaurs always face some level of extinction.
