Pattaya's Pedestrian Perils: Crumbling Walkways and Traffic Chaos
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
It really isn't the leaders fault The massive problem is there is no real Master plan it is just build as you go, no oversight and those in charge specifically the job given is based on nepotism so stepping on toes come with a heavy price so today it continues. Take roads like Klang and Nua, the have put the wires under able to lay and create sidewalks but still you got electrical poles here and there! They not have a Master plan a standard nor understand the use of Utility Easement to obtain a standard. Then you got sidewalks cement bricks laid on top of sand when it rain water sip in between after time creates a sink hole and undermines the walkway. You hear a lot of noise from leaders and that is the major problem no matter who is in charge they all become corrupt to the core.🤣 -
US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border

I'm Chinese American you got that right as far as Im concern they can drop a bomb on both next time their leaders meet. When Thailand got hit Tsunami is a great example, when Haiti got hit while U.S. billon China gave 250 million 2nd largest economy! The list is so long it isn't funny yet U.S. continues to get blasted over and over even when they try to fix it. People negatives isn't about the issue but who issue the directive.Im not a Republican nor need to wear a MAGA hat to know in less than 250 years the contribution that has been made, but stopping aid and reviewing the give aways is the right decision. I saw another 15 million to El Salvador for their trans gender operation. If it was me in charge I would plaster the head of USAids for it is they responsible fo or any dealth hardship. Our government leaders particular the left pander to Unions/Association's , and I'm a Union person to get votes saying they need the best and b🤣ightest to compete with private sectior how is that working. I ask those who think the closure bashing the U.S. whatever country you from better start looking at your own country.leaders and your own programs before speaking nonsense reasons it is long over due. This is a first, next NATO, UN, WHO, which China pays 35 M, created the virus pandemic, U.S. 500 M, right or wrong provided the world with the Pfizer vaccine. As I remember Thailand! Front line everyone got Sino, at one stage outbreak daily was 25,000, front line who all got Sino were dropping like flies, Italy donated ? doses but that was for only Italian not bashing them, U.S. through the effort of Senator Duckworth got millions of Pfizer donated in which 200,000 plus was to be set aside to Americans and Expats I got mines in Bangkok Medpark hospital in line weren't just Americans this included Chinese National on top U.S. threw in another 40 million plus in medical equipment. I've lived here close to 20 years doing so I've learn to appreciate America and the education and opportunities I didnt appreciate prior. The U.S. has done bad and good what country who hasn't done bad let them case the first stone from their own glass house. Others who think their <deleted> don't stink got some half ass reason to justify their reason personally I end by saying GO F- YOURSELF. AND DO IT WITHOUT OUR AID. -

US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe you missed some history this US created agency by JFK in the past through normal channels refuse to answer to Congress as to accountability of funds. The agency in fact felt they weren't even being funded their boss US Government that nose thumbing is well known. You speak humanity, fairness giving a bit of warning, if China, Russia did this no one would be saying a thing just like no one is holding China for COVID except U.S. The only blame for any and all resulting in the stoppage of aid until review lays squarely on those who were running the agency! -

US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border

It was started with good intend but it has gone off the tracks like many other programs, it isn't any dictatorships the Adminitration is asking it to be the agency any agency that it is time to review these aids to make sure the money is going to where it is intended this is no different in your own household! So the saving can go first to those who fund the aid when we can help ourselves then we are better able to help others. There has been no indication that we are retracting from the world. What the U.S. is asking accountability for the money tax payor provide for these Aids, nothing more nothing less as you would in your personal life. -

It isn't a narrow view the more the U.S. the more we get blasted for nation building have some intend etc.. people around the world have their hands out and when U.S. ask for them to pay their share, be accountable it is what " narrow view " what is narrow in reality is your own view unable to get the big picture. I like you just want our tax money to go where it actually benefits for the intent have you even seen the list of donation or so call aid then you got a U.S. agency with employees who think the money comes from the world and not U.S. alone thumb their nose that they not need to be accountable. It is just USAid, more is coming even if this Adminitration doesn't get it all their way the message has been sent to everyone in the world. To those who seem to think China, is the answer go don't let the door hit you on the way out I say your choice go and live with it in time you will find out who is really the devil in sheep clothing. Any narrow view comes from you own bias! -

Right Bravo, the US gives 500 billion to the WHO which they in turn give Thailand like 10-15 million to help with the road death, what does Thailand leaders do every year for that money put up signs on the road yet after 20 years they are still top of the list. IS EVERY DEATH IN THAILAND ON THE ROAD THEN THE U.S. FAULT! -

German Dental Thappaya road
-
I had one done years ago, by German Dental forgot the Soi maybe mentioned already going up Thappaya Rd from 3rd road left side before the light. They did the crown years ago to save expense they drill through crown kill all the roots and fill hole back. I was schedule within 24 hours I think two season they have their own lab onsite can do crown 48 hours. Let me backtrack a bit, I was leaving for the US in a few days I was in lots of pain lots same day I walked in they inserted something like a time release pain killer into the area told good for a year it was a miracle as if nothing was wrong, came back two weeks after my trip had it done it might have been one day but I'm sure it took two appointments. This same crown they put in years earlier took 24 hours to make.

Speed greater mean that is fit for the safety on that road. Lack of commercial vehicle training. Lack of enforcement of driver qualification and inspection. -

I am leaving Thailand - yes taxes!!!
thailand49 replied to Celsius's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I was just visiting my lawyers in Bangkok on another matter. During a break I ask them discussed the tax issue. Don't lose sleep over it. The chances of it happening is like slim and none as noted in many forums these so call tax experts are drumming up business opening a can of worms that don't need to be. I've been here near 20 years, I still file taxes back home very little in fact I get a refund not paid any State taxes. To each his own why burn your bridges yearly visit I use my Medicare plan schedule as many test I can schedule in my out of pocket is less than 20 bucks . -

Pattaya on pause: Plan ahead or lose the booze

Winners take in the Brown envelopes!🤑 -
The story might be different but the intend and result the same. I fail to see whether the bike was license or not resulting in the death of the pedestrian. The story " Pal " ? Meaning Path? Walkway speeding a violation is a violation as a pedestrian in a cross walk. You don't over or undertake a vehicle that has slow down especially over a100! If the bike was register what get less time for the violation nonsense. The story I got was his increase sentence then was reduced to home detention? My comment is whatever he gets should be consistent regardless of his skin color.
