  1. License to sell? That's a joke. I know people selling that have no license and just pass the brown envelope to you kow who. The authorities are the big winners here and have found a pot of gold.
  2. Common sense to driving in Thailand is as rare to find as good service in a restaurant. ????
  3. Radar traps speeders and if even 1 kilometer over the limit you get a 500 baht speeding fine while tail gaters the primary cause of accidents get away with not being fined or charged with anything.
  4. You can imagine just before the coup in 2006 the economy and Gov. was a mess which is why the coup took place. Too much fighting between the parties and too much corruption with very little being accomplished. Fast forward to 2014 and the stock market had rocketed up with the rest of the world markets but reached a peak by the end of 2013. Since then positive things have happened with the booming tourism growth in regards to controlling the beach and road encroachments but the stock market has stalled. Not much in the way of economic growth or improvement in the standard of living for the poor to average citizen. Time is ripe for a change. If compared prior to 2014 say in the 90's there is a major change in the way foreigners are perceived in respect of being a valuable asset. Back then most Thai people welcomed foreigners in every shape and form. Today a lot of Thais have forgotten just how much they have benefitted from the foreign currency that has been brought into the country and take foreigners for granted with many Thai's even thinking that they're better off without them it seems. Maybe when this pandemic comes to an end or acceptance and the foreign tourism numbers start to return to the time before it began and Thai return to their former jobs things will improve in attitudes towards foreigners at least for a while anyway.
  5. As much as 345 baht/hr. for an online group lesson? Expensive.
  6. and who wants to get vaccinated with Sino-Vac when it's not very effective if at all against the Delta- variant that's spreading across the country.
  7. Lol. The baht has been in free float since 1997. Where have you been?
