So a Bungee company in Pattaya uses defective equipment which fails and is dangerous and the focus of the article seems to be that reporting the incident is unfair to Thai Tourism. The equipment was obviously replaced after the accident so the checks now are pointless. Why was this not reported on the day of the accident?

Many countries do not bother with outward immigration checks, leaving the onus to the airline to report the names and passport numbers of departing passengers. I am sure there are ways to therefore streamline checks for outward passengers. One suggestion is not require photo and fingerprint if the immigration officer believes all papers to be legitimate? My 2 cents worth!

Putin seems to be the real Nazi in 2022. Annexing Crimea, invading Ukraine. Very similar to Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia in 1938-1939.... Followed of course by a war with the free world.

While the intentions are good, this reminds me of the discussions a few years ago when it was decided driving with high heels should be illegal! Impossible to enforce. The blacked out windows in nearly all cars make this regulation almost totally pointless.

Seems a little bizarre for the judge to say it is not discrimination because it is good for Thailand. That in itself is discrimination. However us farangs should not be too self righteous. The cost of a visa to get into UK for a Thai is enormous and the UK government could be assessed to have discriminated against the Thai by taking a substantial fee upfront even before arrival in our sunny uplands.
