The chair vendors do keep their areas clean. Have you ever been to Pattaya?

I have lived and worked here for 5 years...and paid my taxes!

Environmentally this is a disaster, and the local government does have the responsibility. However has anyone in the media asked these beach vendors who are complaining, how much income tax they pay? Or if they would be prepared to contribute towards the cost of cleaning up the beach. I have seen several time Foreigners being praised for helping to clean up beaches/streets in Thailand, maybe it's about time the beach vendors did the same. 

there are many things which offend different people.

1. Over sized people encroaching on your seat

2. Smelly individuals who don't notice their own B.O

the annoyance of people with their music so loud it can be heard (or just heard) through their headphones and of course those who take telephone calls at the restaurant or coffee shop table and speak so loudly the whole place can hear.

The list goes on.....

But I do agree with this measure....perhaps the best way is to have an economy sized seat at check-in if the passenger cannot sit in the seat without overflowing then they buy two tickets, or upgrade to first class. and while the alrlines are at it, could we please have sound proofed sections at the back of the planes for parents with small children.....there are just SOME places that a parent should have more sense than to take a child!!!

Hi Chris,

I am A- and I am in Pattaya, but cleared it with my boss already and can be in BKK within 2 hours if you need more blood. I am also there every Saturday. give me a call on 080 999 1895 if I can help.

Hello,

The short answer is you can't just switch betwen them to stay in Thailand! I too have dual nationality and have used different passports when re-entering Thailand, because of the 'three visa in a row rule'. but you still have to exit and re-enter Thailand.

If you want to stay here, the best bet is to sign up for a Thai course and obtain a one year educational visa.
