Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax
^34 years ago explains the 1000bt because I remember always paying 500. I also remember that they finally came up with a vending machine for the ticket not long before they got rid of it altogether!

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax
^I can't remember exactly it was supposed to be for but you had to buy a 500bt ticket at a counter and then thirty seconds later, present it to someone else!

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax
The 500bt tax where you had to buy a ticket at the airport finished in early 2007, everything after that has been collected through the airlines.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
Maybe all those Asians with a whole family on a scooter would like a car as well.I don't change my car every 3-5 years (neither does my wife), they (cars) are looked after, serviced regularly and will run for years to come. WHY therefore are more and more cars required?

Re: Water tanks
^I just had a read of some translated ads for those DOS tanks with the pump on top and it seems it's purely for space saving and aesthetics.
There is a cover to protect the pump to make it look tidier and I suppose in a small property it could make sense.
