I was thinking along those lines as I followed a modified bike the other day... all noise above substance. The bike making a racket had no real power and was a bit of a wreck, but the kid looked happy to be making a lot of noise.
Tend to agree, can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. 'Mummy doesn't love me '.... reality sounds like a rare parents trying to set wayward kids straight for once!
There is still and underlying fear of Electric vehicle batteries with some parking restrictions applied to them. Suffice to say I am more relaxed about leaving my phone on charge overnight.
Well they likely don't come in drunk and violent nor wear T-Shirts and hats advertising the fact. They are people who have yet to learn alcohol is not for them. The Thai attitude to keep selling alcohol is not going to change... the madness of making it available to 4am was unnecessary... 'all night' venues were already to be found.
The boss should be under a directive to safely demolish the place more than scavenge anything of value. Presuming his employer was involved with the original construction then they are still operating in the country and need to be ordered to remove this dangerous eyesore.
Brits and Aussies have always been on that list....... more recent additions seem to be less of an issue. Are we suggesting we introduce Visa requirements for them and just have the Indians, Chinese etc as Exempt? Recently read that Phuket is complaining of too many low spend tourists now!
So have the majority of the WS venues got emergency exits, or a back way out? It has been a while but my last recollection was the only way in and out of many, was the frontage past a crowd of hello girls and some security.
In the UK I was more familiar with the term 'Sterilized'....that was the stuff for those folks too lazy to put the milk back into the fridge. (Or didn't have one maybe).
The Wat in my village went the tourist attraction route for a while and it was a PITA.... there was a stream of coaches full of Chinese coming and going and blocking the only 2 ways in and out of the village. I am sure a few stall holders and the 7-11 there was happy but it really was too much.
Yes, I am sure the people who live in the village love all the tourist coaches blocking the roads. I expect the place is filling up with vendors as we speak and will not remain 'relaxing' for long.
Which of them... or maybe both of them? Thais seem to have no concept of dangerous situations when heavily involved in some moronic game on their phone. Watched some idiot Thai women play on her phone in a restaurant recently as her toddler climbed up and stood on her seat.
It won't last... every Thai business lays claim to the street in front as far as they can. There are a few on Sukhumvit repair vehicles out there when it isn't raining!
