News Forum - Elderly woman injured in Nonthaburi hit-and-run, taxi flees (video)
Unfortunately you are probably correct. But I am only suggesting what they could do - not saying they will do it. It astounds me every day how many Thais ride motorbikes (scooters) on busy main roads without a helmet - in and around the local village that is fine - but on a road where cars are travelling 80-100Ks?? -

News Forum - PM pledges to polish Phuket into a top-tier tourist hotspot
I think you are right. Prior to Covid Greg Norman's company had contracts to build over 100 golf courses in Vietnam. Obviously it all stopped back then, and I think with LIV Golf he is focused elsewhere now, but that is an indicator of how serious Vietnam is in taking a large chunk of tourism business from Thailand. We play golf a lot, and since the 1990s I dont think many new golf courses have been built in Thailand. Thailand has in general been sitting on their laurels - but things have been changing around them. Following on from 10 years of a military dictatorship - and post Covid - Thailand is not changing enough to stay ahead. Every single country in SEAsia is or has been developing more attractive long-term Visa options for retired Expats from the West. Thailand has stayed with their draconian methods, and I looking to impose income taxes on Expats. It seems to me that they still think it is 1990s and they are the only option aside from Singapore or China. -

News Forum - Phuket Airport tourist cries fowl over 3,000 baht Subway sarnies
I know a bloke that has been going there from Australia for many years. He comes to Thailand for the girls. He said the best are in Bangkok and Phuket - and he much prefers Phuket to Bangkok for a few weeks visit. Probably a lot of blokes are like that - and if I was to only come for the girls, then Phuket would be better. -

News Forum - Bangkok’s traffic gridlock gets a tech-tock fix
What would Australia know of Highways. Most of yours are no more than dirt tracks across a hot, featureless, hot, barren, boring landscape, full of dingo's, scary huge bouncing mice and Australians. Oh , and of course, the indigenous people you rip off and suppress.- 1
