Pita and his “devil may care” attitude
Well he got caught with 40,000 shares in his pocket he should not have had......could he have done something about that before the elections?

Thai Cabinet Approves 24/7 Operation of Entertainment Venues in EEC Areas Including Pattaya
The nightlife and entertainment zones already had differing selling hours compared to say BigC or 7-11. They went on to 2am, 3am some places, yet alcohol sales end at midnight elsewhere.

So, are we to have 3x8hour boozing shifts for tourists? There are going to be some weary looking girls doing the shiny pole shuffle.

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
Was that the only option open to him though? Usually politicians put their ill gotten in a wife, sibling or other family member's name..... and even a servant's sometimes.

Immigration now a pleasure to visit.
I cannot stretch my imagination to the point that visiting immigration (twice) would ever be a pleasure! I am glad to hear it is much improved though.

Love on the rocks: Thai woman’s 5 million baht loss leads to threats from scammer
The 800k was perhaps a debt caused by lending a farang his extension money!

Thailand Aims to Attract 25.8 Million Asian Tourists in 2024
I went to both India and China multiple times when working, back in the 80s...... some impressions of incredible poverty have tainted my knowledge of how the places may be nowadays.

Tragic twist: Aussie teen’s suspicious death in Thailand fuels family’s heartfelt repatriation quest
How old was that diving school guy? Young people get themselves into trouble more, and older people do not appeal to local punks like the young girls might.

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
Yes okay etc etc. But why on earth did Pita still have these shares....? Does he expect to break the rules without issue like a Thai golfer?

Good news from TOT, aka NT
Me too, awful. And to add insult I had to sign some sheet all in Thai that I later found out was like a customer evaluation.. and they had pre-filled it, saying I was cancelling because I couldn't afford it!

Yes I have the same problems with dog owners.... neighbours dogs barking and yelping now as I type! Dog owners too are self absorbed..... I wouldn't have the cat if the wife hadn't gone soppy over it coming to the house very young and starving. Last one got sick and I had o have it put down and I didn't enjoy that drama either.
