The moniker, 'Land of Smiles' is looking a bit jaded these days!

Who appointed these motorcycle taxi drivers into this policing position?

The salad might get tossed!

I followed a kid on his motorbike yesterday and he rode with both feet scraping the ground..... why do they do that?

He has lost a lot of weight already!

Quite a stressful trip to the airport....... many would have been worried about missing their flights!

Late November.... I wonder if the Pattaya Fireworks Festival, being so lucrative for hotels etc, impacts on you trying to book a monthly deal.

And yet, I expect 500 Thais with great skills crashed too then!

No, what I am saying is the problem is not as much parking and lack of it, just the amount of traffic. Traffic on Klang moves so slowly and is partly due to it being a reduced number of lanes, often close to a junction where a turn lane would be useful. You actually think people struggling to park in a gap on Klang helps traffic to move? North Rd has the same issues. Coordination of lights might be helpful too.

Although, of course, at 14 he should not have been driving!

Not the job of the police to allocate parking spaces, just stop folks parking where they shouldn't. I was thinking if anything, more areas should be allocated as no parking, like the side of the road along Klang.

Fair point, on my last trip to Jomtien I was thinking the traffic there might have been worse than Pattaya.

Are you sure about the T21 or Central Festival locations? I think some of the View Talay condos (Jomtien) offer a lot, near the beach, baht bus route etc. I would not be happy with the traffic situations where you suggest.

Ignorance is bliss!

One has to wonder what the biggest scam is... fake perfumes at cheap prices, or the exorbitant ones charged for real!
