HuaHinHim

I live on the border of HuaHin and Cha-Am but I have to travel all the way to Thai yang to use immigration (30-40 minute drive one way) when I should be able to go into huahin city and use the service there which is only 15 minutes, crazy inefficient 

Don’t see the police turning themselves in for tacking money fraudulently 

Once a year a we pony up with a couple other people and get a large stretch of the jungle cut back as it swallows up the road (local council job, but they never do it), well after the jungle is cut back all you can see is the plastic bags of garbage that have been thrown in the jungle, it really is a national disgrace and unfortunately it will take being highlighted by foreigners to get anything done about it, until not littering becomes a way of life. I have travelled to a lot of Asian countries and it is pretty common to see where substandard governments are in control

Execute the defendant and put 1 Satang in his mouth.

I agree with your statement but don’t waste the money

The people I know buying Bitcoin are trying to hide money from the government.  I don’t think most people are reporting any profit and paying taxes from Bitcoin transactions.

I think governments have been ripping people off for years. Is it any wonder people want to hide it from them

Well Thais treat the breakdown lane as a regular lane. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen several times a day. Condolences to the victim. Truely tragic, wake up Thailand

"officers from the Hua Hin traffic police and officers from tourist police, who helped to educate the children."

Only education I see from police is the weekly road block for tea money. I'm not sure who owns Mariott but I doubt it would be Thai (correct me if I'm wrong), but the education should come from the top. I see most police riding in Hua Hin without a helmet and often on the wrong side of the road or through red lights. Not really the people you want educating the youth.

I support the idea but Thailand needs to get serious about it and many other problems in the LOS.

Why not be fair and just by allowing foreigners to own one plot of land on which they would like to live their retirement ?

While not related to the story but related to your comment, a friend of mine was looking at purchasing land in Turkey recently and was told that they only allow foreigners to own land if they themselves are allowed to own land in the foreigners country. I think this is a good idea

I think it’s fair to say they had planned for this long ago and likely had a backup passport well in advance of her scarpering

Skip all that and just put him down, as far as i’m Concerned he has given up the right to life

While the penalties are shockingly low when you compare to other countries, they need to be having this discussion and hopefully a good system will evolve to something with adequate penalties. The opposite end of the spectrum where you have rule for combining vehicles and bicycles is getting ridiculous. nothing is perfect but it takes time

Perhaps the government should hire her to pick up rubbish. If she inspires people to have coffee then perhaps she would inspire others to clean up after themselves. Just a thought

He is laying the foundations to increase the cost of household water. Might stop people from watering the street? They would be stuffed if they were in an area like South Africa and not the tropics.

I like the headline “Road carnage goes through the roof” in most countries a large increase like that would be described as going to the moon, which last time I check is a bit further than the roof. As has been said by many, no education no enforcement and Thais in general (not all) have no respect for other Road users.

any mariners on here who want to explain how two ships can collide, with all the modern technology on board

Quite simple really. Over reliance on technology and failed to look out the window.

Well no you can't blame the girls. But who are the people providing the girls. 

12 year old girls don't just mosy on up to pattaya nightlife by themselves.  Thai adults are seducing them into the trade with promises of a golden life. 

I recall a few stories on tv where Thai parents either sold their children into prostitution or similar situations. In any case, it shouldn’t matter who does it they should all be strung up
