Thread: Tourism fee to hit all foreigners

You don't have a very good imagination.

$8 is nothing. Which is why one day they will double it. $16 is nothing too I guess. Make it $20.

I could totally see some poor hippie backpacking dross being in a predicament about the entry fee when they arrive.

And some ppl will hate the idea of an entry fee on principle.

There are reasons why Thailand hadn't done this 30 years ago.

Because they are serving you directly in some capacity and you are impressed with that service. In a way you are their boss during your encounter and if they went above and beyond you are just giving them a bonus.

Oh my, as stumpy says a few (s)expats get worked up about this… :

Departure tax increase from Bt.500 to Bt.700 in 2007.

Cannot see them raising the entry tax willy nilly as you claim they will.

So are you for or against it fondles?

^ if they fronted up and were honest with the fee paying public i have no problem, they want to raise more tourist Dorrahs. They aren't tho, they have come up with come convoluted excuse to justify the tax and everyone can see it for the bullshit it is, it just reinforces the image of the country and its Govt.

Yep, terrible terrible stuff

^ Indeed, don't you just hate being lied to?

Absolutely . . . and it bears no relevance to the topic at hand, as fairly well all other posters see it as well . . . except for your best mate Taxidriver. Peas in a pod, really. Pull your head in and stop being such a fuckwit with every post.

Good grief, you do go on like an old fishwife. Here's an idea . . . save your $8, feel good about yourself and holiday in Blackpool. Do everyone a favour.

Stay at home with NPT then:

Fifty-six countries charge entry and/or exit fees. These fees range from $14 to $100, with an average of $26.77.

Do any other countries collect entry/exit fees? | U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Btw, check out your home country

28% of the countries in the world have entry fees. Whoopey fuck.

Make your mind up, it was Milton Keynes before, i'd just like some consistency. Btw Helmut tweaking my retort about you going on like 70's prog rock record shows your Germanic lack of imagination.

You may be God in the world of commerce with senior executive positions in multi-national companies if your self described pen pictures are to be believed,

did you see the ugly cxnts photograph on his webpage, he has a forehead festooned with king size warts and a set of joke teeth.

no wonder the big poof is always angry.

I never get angry becasue I am a lovely kind person.

Giving you options, sopa-dodger . . . is that too difficult to grasp? That's a rhetorical question, of course.
