Thailand proposes another crazy, unenforceable idea
LOL
BANGKOK: -- All foreign tourists will soon be required to have travel insurance before entering Thailand under a proposal put forward by a committee of the Tourism and Sports Ministry, according to an informed source.
The plan has been proposed by a committee working on the development of Thailand as a wellness tourism hub, and will be forwarded for consideration by the national tourism policy commission.
The requirement should not be seen as a "hurdle" to visitors to Thailand, the source said on Monday.
Under the proposal, the Office of the Insurance Commission would draft details on insurance policies and insurance distribution channels, including the installation of automatic vending machines at international airports and border checkpoints.
The Tourism and Sports Ministry first proposed requiring foreign visitors to have travel insurance last year, explaining it did not have enough staff to supervise the safety and welfare of the growing number of tourists.
Hospitals have until now often been left carrying the cost of medical treatment of tourists injured during their stay in Thailand and who have no means to pay their bills

Re: Thailand proposes another crazy, unenforceable idea
That article seems to be all over the place.
First sentence says, "prior to arrival".
Third sentence says, "soon after arriving".
Fourth sentence says, "foreigners applying for an extension of stay'.

Re: Thailand proposes another crazy, unenforceable idea
An afterdark beach ban has been proposed for Phuket. Anyone found on the beach after dark will be arrested. Yet another tourist-friendly proposal from Thailand.
http://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-bea ... -62609.php- Governor Norraphat Plodthong called for the after-dark ban at an emergency meeting held yesterday (June 15) at the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Phuket headquarters (DDPM-Phuket).
The meeting was called after two people drowned and many tourists were rescued after entering dangerous surf at Phuket beaches this week.
“Tourists ignoring our warnings is the main issue – especially Russian and Chinese tourists,” explained Watcharin Patomwatthanapong, Acting Chief of Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO), which oversees the government project to have lifeguards at Phuket beaches.
“And they like to go to the beach at night and get drunk,” he added.
To this, Gov Norraphat noted that in order to protect all tourists, “I think officials should set up a special regulation to ban tourists from the beach after 6:30pm.”
Gov Norraphat also called for Phuket lifeguards to extend their patrol hours to 7:30pm each night to ensure no people enter the water after dark.
“This would only be to check the surf and ask people to leave the beach,” he said. “After that, extra force from local municipalities, police and volunteers will inspect beaches to ensure the ban is enforced.”

No mention of being arrested!!!!....Anyone found on the beach after dark will be arrested..
another Unenforceable Idea
In defense of the government, they know they need do something to stop the drownings but they just dont know how to go about doing it, so they come up with crazy ideas
