No thanks to the idea of taxing property and people in order to redistribute wealth. Might as well make the country socialist … see how bad the U.S. has become when one has to work nearly four months a year just to see those “in need” get more dependent on handouts from the government.

I would say that if this crap continues, Thailands tourism numbers will drop 50%.

The Tourist Police are working with the scammers to defraud every visitor they meet.

Yes, it still works for me. Although this week when hiding out at an island I became a bit fed up with the same same of the trash everywhere.

BKK is run down but they do make an effort to sweep the sidewalks … and maybe the energy of the city masks the rest?

Either way, even a more regulated Thailand will still let people be, mostly.

And that’s what it’s all about.

Indeed.
