    We used to regularly see bar closures enforced for infringements of one sort or another. Your comment made me realize I had not heard of such an event for a good while. Now it is simply bars failing financially.

    Most of them have long gone, brown envelopes with them.

    You would be putting the kidnapped guy at serious risk by doing that!.

    Oh an ex Navy Seal perhaps too!

    Yes, exactly right, caked make-up. Did they call her 'the ghost' perhaps? I have seen the shouter too, usually when I go for a haircut near the R-Con corner.

    They were nearby in The Avenue not long before too!

    Because they are competition for the Thai tobacco monopoly.....who carry some weight. Like tobacco they do not cause ill health fast enough and are in reality a burden on society.

    They do? I once had an incident on a train where a drunk one was waving a weapon about, perhaps he was still on duty!

    It was the gals wasn't it? Always some falang busy-bodies sticking their noses in and getting involved!

    Yes, no shortage of those who constantly deride the place but love to gossip about it, despite knowing nowt!

    Yes, that is my thoughts on one I regularly see near BigC-X. Used to be sitting near the entrance in the car park.... nowadays across the road near soi Soi Sophon, and her clothes are getting progressively tattier. Not as bad as the one who used to hang around soi Honey and soi 7 many years ago, who once surprised me by talking to me quite coherently and in fair English. It's sad.

    Read the post I quoted, the word is in it! Never touch the stuff and I don't see it as a big issue, just a small one!
  13. jacko45k
    Doubt that...... all I see are empty little shops. There are 10 bars for every one of them. The other thing that the Thais don't seem to like is that many Westerners are getting caught with tens of Kg of the stuff in their luggage, that started off in Thailand.

    Whole other topic...... and bad association of cannabis leading people onto harder drugs. Also look how much money is made wrt alcohol and its associated businesses... cannabis doesn't do shxt, it's kids stuff.

    Good business for street food in that location... the brown uniforms don't get tight without frequent snacking.

    Have to focus on under the table vapes now?

    Does City Hall not employ cleaners to do the beach on a regular basis? Or has the recent minimum wage increase made that unsustainable? Perhaps they were previously Cambodians who now fear for their safety!
  18. jacko45k
    Pipe cleaners and use a wet wipe as a pull through then!

    Can only thank heavens that he was barefoot rather than bare assed!
  20. jacko45k
    Perhaps they simply fear such acts rather than there being many examples of such. Don't expect Cambodians here would put their employment at risk by misbehaving, and would rather keep their heads down. My pool boy is behaving himself!

    Not meaning to be flippant but they are often found in the long grass behind their mother's home.

    I see so many vehicles with illegible/faded plates I doubt that could be the technology they go with.
  23. jacko45k
    They don't do anything about many many issues .
  24. jacko45k
    It is more about a work permit I suspect. And behind it all, Thais don't want to give up their jobs to foreigners. They are protecting their people and helping them to have employment. (Rather cushy employment at that). Is that a failing for the government of the country? I guess they realize their own people are behind linguistically at least. I think it is commendable.

    Well, not far for the fire engines to go!
