Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax
I don't remember that one, but I remember the 1,000฿ tariff for Thais leaving Thailand. I'd just given all of my remaining Baht to the Outlaws who had come to see us off. I was not too pleased.

Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts
Its amazing only people not in authority can see that. 9 times out of 10 there will also be a lot of workers in the field ensuring the burning stays under control.

Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts
Every year they tell us it is illegal, and they will clamp down on it. Every year I travel around, and I can see burning carrying on quite openly. Every year I don't see anybody making any attempt to stop it. If I can see it, why can't the authorities? They talk the talk, but nobody is actually inte...

Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates
Of course, but the fact the airport functioned at 105,000 passengers per day, and that is actually 38,000,000 / 365, so daily numbers would have well exceeded that number. Now they want to throw a load of money at what looked to be a pretty good airport on Sunday to upgrade it to handle less than 40...

Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase
Yes, the policies sound great, but are taking the country further and further into the red. Solution, lets borrow a lorry load of money and give everybody 10,000฿.

Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates
That article alone says a lot. It used to cater for 105,000 passengers a day, but now caters for 20,000.
Obviously a lot of brown envelopes involved spending that huge sum of cash expanding the airport to 40% of what it used to be
Bonkers.

Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase
But the tax isn't paying the wage increases. That extra cash has to be found by the employer, which will be funded by higher prices. If Gov't policy wants a wage increase, they should be funding the difference, but they don't.

Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase
I think the problem is somebody has to find this cash, and it won't be the Government's policy makers. We read every few days about Thailand's terrible debt situation, so where will this extra 40฿/day come from? Making headline grabbing policy is simple - executing it is the hard part. Not just in T...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
To me that infers that when you go through immigration at Bangkok, it must all be linked with the local system? We are talking Thai IT, and there is always a SOMETIMES clause in there somewhere. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just read the last few posts, and it all makes sense when you ...

Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates
I walked through Don Mueang late Sunday evening and thought how badly designed the airport was. Huge corridors being lit/air conditioned. Then at the end of the corridors vast expanses of nothingness, again being lit/air conditioned. There really was a lot of wasted space/electricity. Then the actua...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand
The key is probably in the words, 'isolated' and 'scattered', which most likely means Cha-Am and Khao Tao.

Re: Old Photos of Hua Hin 1960s
I've just seen this on Facebook. I've never seen such a comparison before, and thought I'd share it. I've seen many similar of Pattaya, but this is the first I've seen of Hua Hin. Found on the Thailand Travel page.
