Thailand should no longer sit on their hands not because Vietnam is overtaking but Thailand should put up clear vision with carefully plan to remain and become world leader in tourism with concern on tourists safety and long term sustainable plan. We just can't keep selling overpriced Michelin star street food and over charge for stale seafood and putting up sign to discriminate against visitors from certain country or region.
@bangkoklad Could be stress from unhappy massage. Again Thai motorists should also respect pedestrian crossing a little more. People are trying to cross the street. Be generous...
@Smoke___Mirror@PravitR Did you know Thailand has MOU with Myanmar that allow non immigrant type of visa to work legally in Thailand with exception to a few occupation that reserved for Thais (salon, barber, massage, etc)
@EggYazawa This same set of rules in USA and Canada where certain type of visa cannot get standard driver license which typically requires proof of residency.
@Smoke___Mirror@PravitR "using Thai nationals — Thai husbands or wives — as nominees to front their businesses." If a husband or wife registers for business then he or she has right to own and run. Of course spouse regardless nationality can give hand.
@KhaosodEnglish In Thai street and water ... Accidents prone to happen. Wish the gov regulate this aggressively for the sake of tourists safety. This is no longer image issue it is saving lives.
