Also slipped a bit in the corruption index.
I'm not a big believer in these reports. I always look at accompanying advertisement.
Thailand may slip a bit more statistically in the near future. There's a discussion of raising minimum wage. It would be a huge increase, somewhere around 40 to 50%. Every time that happens prices go up.
Changes to traffic laws are expected around midyear. Big push is on after a recent accident in a crosswalk where a doctor was killed by a speeding motorcycle. Pictures on social media seem show a nationwide push to repaint crosswalks.
A few places around town are posting speed limits with pictures of speed cameras.
I slowed to the posted speed limit and vehicles passed me estimated 20 to 30 km over the posted speed limit.
On the net I get the occasional 'forbidden' because of my Thai IP address. A VPN solves that. Find that with news outlets in the US and Europe. Thailand still seems to have a 'reputation.' I even have to use a VPN when I want to visit German orphanage where I spent a few years in.
If you have a corruption complaint, think twice. Even if true and documented you can still be sued for defamation. They can drag on for years.+
