Thailand still has a problem learning how to prioritize important issues from non issues I smell entrapment

Here is your problem with your thinking…so instead of 225, it is 150 AP…instead of 30 minutes vs 20 minutes sitting in traffic… it has not improved to an acceptable level for an expat or tourist even if trends has improved…A person doesn’t say “oh it’s better now than 2 decades ago”…here and now bad is bad or bad vs real bad…bad is not tolerated anymore with more options than ever before

Staff should not be liable for runners…are establishments going to cover legal fees if the staff takes violence in stopping runners? don’t shift the blame to poor staff for things beyond their control…you are the ones with deeper pockets and defend staff not abuse them

Are we allowed to munch on bananas in public?

Hope the villagers quickly put on their covid masks….🙄

Maybe Thais speaking broken english to throw them off their scent… staff became quickly distracted…what their mobile went off?

This does not solve the tailgating issue that happens in thailand if one doesn’t understand the concept of safe breaking distance

I think you mean daily average

I would like to see your Miami property if you would send me a RT ticket and a 3-day allowance

April is the 2nd highest by volume of alcohol sales…I am more surprised that Dec is more given Thai new year vs western new year and summer vs cool season come on thailand let’s drink ourselves to more accidents and adverse health issues and a substantial part of Thai society doesn’t drink so what does that tell you about the part that does…if I recall correctly, 5th or 6th highest country in the world by volume…quite scary and sad

Why no talk of deportation and bans? Now this meets my definition of an assault vs some leg extension

Thai doctors are product of the Thai educational system…enough said and no, they do not get educated in the west for medical school b/c they can’t get in from HS…remember they go from HS to medical school here completely bypassing 4 years of college - required in the west when you hear they are trained in the west….that refers to residencies and internships in which the Thai gov pays big bucks to send them for these programs…it’s a win for both…revenue to the schools and a piece of paper saying they received practical training in the west but required to return to thailand to meet their gov obligation of one year of training for 2 years formula in gov hospitals…which many leave then for private hospitals once their mandatory commitment has been met

prostitution is actually defined as a form of oppression….look it up…and one could extend that definition to Bkk taxi drivers from issaan, hill tribe people currently burning their mountain lands (forced by corporate thailand)…they have no choices thus forced into undesired occupations just to survive - human nature it’s all exploitation…just how currently the world works and accepted by the halves over the have nots…kind of like why expats choose to live in third world countries like thailand to exploit the economies of scale that their western dollars goes further (getting more) even though the quality of life actually might not be higher when one factors in environmental degradation, health outcomes, traffic, road safety, poor regulatory infrastructure etc

I doubt there is one…I bet your wife and her family watch you like a hawk

225 fires in CM province on a daily basis…AP is absolute not relative…CM needs to control its own house and not worry about blaming “can’t control” places please re-visit the definition of ignorance…the brakes failed…it’s not my fault
