Here's a good one. Let's tag everyone rather than cleaning up our act. In addition, they're actually talking about electronic tracking devices for tourists. Bloody unbelievable. (emoticon for totally disgusted...we need to get one of those.) Pete
I'm actually speechless over this one. Words just won't come, and thoughts are gone. Maybe they can change the country's name to Jurassic Park? Don't miss the part in the article about a
"local minder" . That's being discussed also.

Just mentioned this "idea" to the wife, who hasn't seen it on Thai media yet. Her immediate and first reply was..."...just think how much money someone will make from that...".
Interesting, no? I hadn't even thought of that, but it really shows how much things need to be changed to get even Thai people to start thinking governance is legitimate. Pete

Why not a chip under skin ? like dogs or animals to be traced. I would like to know the carreer of this minister of tourism ... What did she before being appointed by the militars ????
Don't bother to tackle the issue of local gangsters because they don't exist. Let's not bother to train a professional police force and pay them a living wage and thereby avoid the corruption.

I am sure that she thinks this will improve tourist confidence and numbers. Unbelievable!!

I know this is Thailand, and I should wash my mouth out for having such thoughts, but why not survey holidaymakers to ask what would make them feel safer in Thailand?

Besides a body size condom, I'm sure they would answer a decent and visible police force.
Third could be perishable expiration dates in 7-11 not covered up by a Thai Customs department sticker. Fourth, a "does she really love me" meter for single men to use, and a bribe meter?
