Shift from tourism

» I commend Nareerat Wiriyapong for her April 19 article, "Tourism revival in doubt again" which presented a clear-eyed, factual analysis. My only criticism is that an earnest revival is but probably impossible. As roughly 60% of Thailand's tourists came from the West, Thailand can expect little recovery in Western tourists, because of the rise of unemployment, fear of health safety as well as mounting bankruptcies. Even more, few Western tourists are likely to be interested in travelling in an era of face mask wearing, social distancing, field hospitals, ever-changing policies and draconian penalties related to Covid-19 related measures as well as unpredictable lockdown.
Criticism is patriotic

Give FFP boss a fair trial

» From a legal standpoint, two shareholding cases that the Election Commission (EC) filed with the Constitutional Court -- one submitted this month against Future Forward Party (FFP) leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and the other made one year ago against Foreign Affairs Minister Don Pramudwinai -- are almost identical, as there could be a slight difference in technicalities. However, they were given different treatment by the EC.
