People dont believe me when I have told them about that, A guy I know here had his resort plastered all over his truck with no WP thinking because it's in his wife's name he was ok, Years ago I do know of a guy that did actually get done for it, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally spineless and inept. The Thais are laughing! Well off Thais can do pretty much anything they want in Britain. If they did it would probably contravene 'uman rights/equality laws. After saying that, London's the money-laundering capital of the world! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5633572526 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Yes I am sure there are businesses walking on the edge of the law but right now those businesses are providing jobs for Thai people and Thailand needs paying jobs more than pics of the bib pointing fingers. Take note of these businesses and pursue it when times are better for the PEOPLE of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero dollar tours were banned in 2016 and the ban has been enforced.

Pattaya's cesspoolians, notoriously near sighted on their bar stools or in shopping malls, see a tour bus and automatically think zero baht tour. The reason they were banned is that Thai operators hated them, rightly so, and squawked. So locals always do in other countries. They don't now in Thailand because there aren't any, basically. This has given rise to more "evidence" cited by our TAT: TVF that Thailand's tourist market is failing because more Chinese are going to VN (where zero dollar still exists, though endangered). 'Course, if more come here, that'd be failing also. I love this forum. Edited November 23, 2020 by BigStar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you calling me a "Pattaya cesspoolian"? Thanks for that. Before lockdown they were operating the same as before. Using the same Chinese controlled hotels, the same Chinese controlled restaurants with commissioned visits to King Power and the Gem shop.

They continue unabated. More classic TVF Economics, showing great shrewdness. Chinese are all over the place nowadays, as you'd know if you ever stepped away from Soi Buakhao. Tours from everywhere typically hit King Power etc. Doesn't at all mean they're zero dollar, which merely proves my point: our cesspoolians simply knee-jerk. Main point is that we don't like Chinese, so we're going to keep repeating nonsense. Reminds me of Trump Derangement Syndrome, actually. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
