Good job from the police .......

thats what we call a slap in the face ....

totally agree , but fantasy desire and reality are very different.

Agreed. The uneducated feel they are entitled to the same working pay/conditions as the educated.

Not always but by experience (I received many applicants for many various job) people with high education specially if they studied abroad think their value is more important than any one else , even without experience. Anyway not the place to start with this topic ..lets stick to this guy in pattaya .

I am in bangkok and our factory always look for people and cannot find any ...... Maybe the salary expectation of your Thai friends is too high compare with reality.Thats why they cannot find any job. Remind me once a secretary applying for a job and asking for 3,000US$ monthly .

In any country desired remuneration is based on education and experience isn't it?

totally agree , but fantasy desire and reality are very different.

At least the law works in Thailand.

I had my wallet stolen in Philippines and grabbed the girl who did it. After 6 hours at the police station was told I could only press charges if I was available for the court hearing in 4-6 weeks.

As I couldn't she was released without charge. To complete my perfect, wasted day as she walked out the station she gave me the biggest kick I ever had in my life, and I have played serious rugby.

Again I had the opportunity to press charges as most of Makati's finest were watching. Bear that in mind all of you who love to knock Thailand.

it works for that case but how many other cases doesnt work ? some friends had a car accident in pattaya few months ago , the truck didnt stop at red light and crush their cars ...well the police man said to my friends that he cannot do anything as the owner of truck was a very well know business man in pattaya ////

There are so many companies here in Pattaya cannot find people for work, but many Thais are looking only for the 'easy' way.

Really? Can you PM the list as I have a couple of Thai friends looking for work......

how can they know how much will it cost just now as it seems they still dont have electricity .... strange .... I dont think people cancel their holidays , those electric stuff happen anywhere and usually for short time , ok 2 days is a bit long .. be patient nothing else .

I didnt know such practices remain in 2012 here ...... unbelievable .

she cannot be responsible for what her father did or didnt do ..... that is very stupid from this trolley dolly to advertise that on facebook . she is paid to pour coffee or tea in cups not in faces LOL .

oh well ., nothing more than a normal day or night in pattaya ......

another normal day in the kingdom .... I just wonder how many dead, the government want on the road to act quickly ..... As the big majority of thai driver dont have any license or knowledge in driving and road safety. Last weekend a truck didnt stop at the red light and nearly crush my car , this is so common practice here , why stop at red light when you can go ..... one day if it happen again I will go out of my car and kick some driver's ass ....

oh when a communist government discover capitalism ...

Those people know they are in power for very short time , the most important is how fast they can fill up their pockets .... and they pretend to work for the sake of the country ? what a bunch of

so in that case why not removing ALL street food vendors , so the car drivers can avoid to stop in the middle of the road to go and buy a noodle soup , pedestrian can finally walk on the pavements which are always full because of those food stalls. I dont think the banana sellers have something to do with traffic jam , I have heard stupid things here but this one is in the top five. There are simply NO rules about street food vendors as it seems they can do whatever they want ... try to walk on silom road or sukhumvit pavements by 6pm . Its a total anarchy .

I just love Pattaya , only there you can see crazy people like that ....

I am sure the very talented police force will find out in no time what really happened in that room ......

a slap on the butt would be more appropriate for a 4 years old kid ...

Lets hope it is for the sake of phuket airport , there was such a big mafia taxi there ....but I doubt bad practices stop.

I wonder what a thai couple were doing with 900,000$ in cash in Singapore ...sounds very fishy ..... its like the money found in some hong kong bank accounts from Thailand after the floods last year , or the cash found in the ministry of transport .... so much cash to carry , specially when it has to remain discreet.

Finally justice prevail ...... good news that guy will know you dont kill people without impunity , even in Thailand ..

Was it First cold pressed olive oil ? that can make the difference ....and from which country ? the Spanish oil is lower quality than the Italian one ..

48 yo hooker ? wow they work late in the area..... and with her ID at the reception ...... hard to be more stupid ! sorry for the guy but stories like that one is not the first or the last .

a very old topic ....with such a high rates in deadly car accident in thailand , all different governments should have done something about it , 20 years here I never see any improvements just seen more cars and more accidents. Send the people to driving school would be a first good thing , teach Thais road safety and respect , then it might be better .. you can write what ever articles you want on road safety and dangerous roads , nobody except foreigners will pay attention. I would be curious to know how many drive without proper license.
