Maybe at specific aspects like financial credibility, but not on every day to day activities like they are doing now in china. Things like this are rolled out step by step over a long period of time, as to not anger or scare people. At this very moment in time, agencies can and do monitor peoples microphones and cameras, it's common knowledge. It's also common knowledge that the NSA does what it does, but most people don't mind; why? Well because it has been enforced and implemented over time. The next step is only a little more restricting and invasive than the last. If they jumped from 1 - 100 then there would be an outcry, but it doesn't work like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chama Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Other than taking up a gate that was probably booked for other flights the only people being inconvenienced were other like minded individuals. They were just doing what the Thai government had encouraged them to visit the Kingdom to do. Big T may even send them free tickets back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost count of the number of times a Green Bus in Chiang Mai has been delayed by up to 20 minutes because a Thai can't be bothered boarding on time. ..................and it always seems to be a well dressed , made-up woman about 25 years old and carrying hand luggage , smiling as she gets on the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In America first we would have peppered sprayed then tasered if this Chinese person didn't comply with a lawful order of a police officer to get off of the floor! None of this let this disruptive person get there way, it will happen again. Come on Thailand! This is ridicules how can you save face in the eyes of the world?

thailand49 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 More to the story? I've not sure if this rule is still in effect. When passengers don't show up to board a decision must be made to first make an announcement if that doesn't happen their check in bags must be removed from the aircraft and that is the problem if the bags are in a container it takes time. The biggest problem as always is how the staff handles the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one answered. Probably all on a somtam break. Maybe the same thing happened on this occasion. LoL, I had a similar problem when working as a police volunteer in Phuket and having to deal with a mentally-ill Russian woman in a shopping centre. Were my calls to my Thai colleagues for urgent assistance acted upon? Not a chance!! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 This happens quite frequently in China held up for late passengers for whatever reason. There are many flight delays in general especially where I lived Xiamen when the Chinese military closed air space for practice etc. Xiamen is a 45 minute boat ride to Jinmen (Kinmen)Taiwan. The easy way to lesson this from happening close the door as stated in check in 20 minutes before flight. It might despcrease those who think they are privileged to be on time. HUGE signs say facing each other across the Taiwan straits article attached. I reckon translated to English would be <deleted> and <deleted> to... i always tried to be calm calm and not make a fuss but every once in awhile I sparked up. Long line at check in. Well dressed and looked like he had money went to front of line. I politely got out of line and said see the line get at the back. He didn’t like it... but he went the back.

The answer was to tell the Load Controller to button up the aircraft and leave without them. Of course, in 'the good old days', you could take their luggage with you and leave them behind, they wouldn't normally do that again I bet. Not so now of course. It is "society's" fault for allowing this kind of behavior. I agree, the plane should have left with their luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
