Supreme optimism......

I believe the PM is fluent, he was partially educated in the USA. with a bachelors and Masters degrees from there.

No and yes......

No......it would be distraction from the topic.

Simply put, the world of travel is not well designed for older, frailer people. Disabilities seem to get some substantial help.... but some of the walks and queuing at the gate would be too much nowadays.

Second Rd, not Pattaya Klang. (Sure you have been in Pattaya 20 years?) To stay on topic, Indian tourists I find to be funny.

Wife's brother complaining less work in the Bangkok plant and more going to Vietnam.

You mean the one under discussion and not the distraction attempt?

What a load of nonsense.....

With him in it?

My thoughts too. If you can't lift it up, it is too heavy.. Aged passengers and pregnant women excluded. I used to hate traveling in the USA with all the road warriors there!

UK?

Got a reasonable spell of rain last night where I am North of town.. enough to persuade me to do a pool backwash... sunny again this morning, not quite fitting the predictions.

Well Pattaya has changed somewhat since 7 years ago, big shopping malls, underpass, no power poles, profusion of cannabis shops and coffee shops, a move to on-line ways of obtaining companionship, and the Covid created demise of a lot of nightlife, and a very nice beach now! Still paving the promenade though... some things do not change!

For certain.... I am absolutely sure they deliberately buzz you, on foot, or if you are on a motorcycle.... as if to deliberately scare you in retaliation for using their road/ lane.

Yes, but considering the question posed in the OP, regarding Any updates, you are not really in a position to know much of recent changes in Pattaya, nor did you comment about any other Thailand areas.

Possibly, they might you know. Are you saying they are telling the complete and utter truth?

Sorry boys.... but you aren't getting the brown envelopes back!

Yeah, I believe that!

Well let us hope this time they do their job effectively and get him jailed for a while and then out of the country... rather than carry on freely for 5 more years.

How very binary!

Then why are you involved and posting in a Pattaya topic?

I do more clumsy and absent minded things these days in Pattaya... I had been struggling with road crossings anyhow, after an ankle injury caused by missing tiles on the pavement.... that injury was on the mend until Sunday when someone popped out of a doorway and yelled 'massage' in my ear, and I sidestepped into another hole due to a missing pavement tile. I need to buy a clown suit!

He has been sentenced to 8 years in jail..... let him at least be treated similarly to others with a similar sentence. If there are reasons not to, like ill health, let it be dealt with openly.

Not his Nationality though,
