[Samui tourists given a warning: Watch out for jellyfish on the beaches]

Make your mind up, what colour is it !????

Portuguese Man O' War or what is known as blue bottle jellyfish.

The jellyfish are widely known as "maeng graphun khuat khiaw" - green bottle jellyfish.

Are the toilets and taps in her area all fully functional with plenty of hand sanitizer and  working hand dryers, I doubt it. And if they are, they wouldnt have been last week. !

It has been stated on the BBC the PM has been visiting the injured in hospital...

 

 

As I personally have never met anyone that actually voted for him, I wouldnt imagine they would be too pleased to see him !

[Thai soldier kills 'many' in shooting rampage]

The whole thing makes a mockery of the Thai army and its leader. Red or black ball, yeah great recruiment technique. Two swat team killed. RIP both but begs the question were you both properly trained or just enjoyed the pay upgrade with perhaps some influence from somewhere. I know what my money is on

[Thai soldier kills 'many' in shooting rampage]

Odd that! A major balls up by Anutin on his attitude to ferangs and then one of his bosses boys goes mental and deflects all the attention.

[No alcohol sales all day today: Jail for lawbreakers]

The pitiful thing is, they will probably send officers round pubs and restaurants to check. If only they allocated this much man power to serious crime offenders. We all know people are still going to find a drink if they really want one, why not set up a breathalyser road checks and if they are really keen to find out whos selling, offer a reduced fine if they can prove they drank in a certain bar. That would put the cat amongst the pigeons. Bust one perp and get one free. ????

3025 baht at the British Embassy. Immigration considerably cheaper.

You would need to be on some mind altering substance to pay Bangkok Airways prices anyway, especially if your flying to/from Samui.

Has the fund started at Phuket already with the cash fast tracking customs system. Also, why are there no ATMs airside at Don Muang ?

He didnt really have too many other career options .

Why didnt they just send stickers to each other on Line like the rest of the country.

Phuket immigration. Start there.

[Thailand's sliding reputation is costing much more than just tourism dollars]

He should probably add the immigration "fast track" in arrivals at Phuket airport to his list too.

[Koh Tao case influences tourist mood]

I'd love to know what it s like on Kho Tao right now if anyone is there and care to comment.

Are young backpackers still partying? Are drugs still available? Are they all dancing around to their doof doof music?

What's the vibe at the AC Bar like? Are people still getting drunk and partying with the local boys?

I would hope that in light of what happened and other mysterious cases they would finally put an end to all this full moon, drug taking, "the beach" senselessness. It is like Vang Vieng in Laos when it started to get out of hand and kids were dying they clamped down and now it is a normal place to visit.

Can Thailand step up to the plate? Or is there too much money in the drugs and alcohol sales now for it to end? Are the funds making their way too far up the chain for it to ever end?

Do they really care to make a change? Who's kids are going to die next? I can guarantee by the end of the high season there will be at least one kid going home in a box with dubious circumstances surrounding the reason why. Quite a few more will be going home in a box from their own foolishness as usual.

I too wondered why anyone would still go to the AC bar. That has to be one of the unsafest bars on the planet. Im not referring to another henious crime like the ones on young David and Hannah, I would be petrified of repreccussions from disgruntled Burmese.

[PM Prayut wants quality tourists to visit Thailand]

I think its fair to say the officer in charge of tourist quality control at Utapao will be off sick a fair bit with a repetitive strain injury after having to motion everyone back on the plane.

[Foreign tourist arrivals in Thailand drop 10.28 percent]

I hope they only give the calenders to the "good tourists" that meet The Generals approval. Maybe they could air drop some from a plane over Jersey and Norfolk.
