Bangkok Governor Chadchart explains his working style
thailand49 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
It is all a show! Whatever his style? Pattaya Mayor likes to wear a T-Shirt to work and his style is to open his envelope gifts once s week. -
This is common at least on the Darkside they will eventually get around to it sooner when there is an accident. They are also used as speed bumps for motorbikes????

What is it with Thais and Hospitals?
thailand49 replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
For me is comes down as noted by another it is education the most basic is missing. Those who can't afford the time or poor go to local pharmacy as if they are clinics to get meds, the next step up Clinics same more meds, If they can afford the time hospital same more meds, private hospital same more meds but not so much generic any opportunity oh you should stay overnight for pro-caution $$$$ they believe better the facilities better Doctors and treatment? Home any major City there are medical buildings with hundreds of Doctors operating independently in conjunctions with hospital specializing from A-Z. I have s cold or fever home take one pill here I need a shopping cart? -
Covid seem to be the excuse being used for everything. Then you got the labor shortage if that was the case there might not had been a outbreak since it was pretty much all the illegal migrants being snuck in 2021. It was like 1 brick a week was being laid, then you got poor planning I wonder how many times are they going to Jack hammer the road after it has been paved. One thing for sure after 4 years the one side going down from Sukhumvit looks amazing (left) those wires are under ground. No matter how negative one look left then right where wires are still handing it does look good a big difference.

2000-3000 baht a day! What she doing buying for the whole Soi, bar Soi 7, she running a toilet there or got ST rooms with shower. Do what many Thais do get yourself a 500 baht tub open the slow tab and fill it up or better being rain season leave it out in the rain. Whenever necessary not often I call the truck 160 baht to fill up my 2500 L tank.

It is reported Restaurant! Let's not allow our imagination go wild here? he did the right thing take off, climb a wall and demand to speak to his Embassy which he has a much better outcome than if the police handle it. He was well aware of what " This is Thailand " and it's meaning he must have knew the outcome of what the Indian had to pay for his inappropriate touching panic and took off like a Ninja.????????

It's This type of behavior should never happen to anyone and by no! But the amount that is what happens when you visit and they got you backed against the wall. Even a few Wai, photo op, some flowers, wouldn't have gotten forgiveness. Aside from the incident this was extortion at its best by the police, more payout for many motorbike accidents, more if a car hit someone and injure them at s crosswalk, 4 times the amount offer by the so call owners at the night club that had the fire that killed over 20, 9 times the amount for the burn victims, and 5 times the salary of the teacher? She might be thinking hell I'm in the wrong profession? I can see a message sent here to even those who are married Or sponsor to think twice. One wonders if we won't see her more often visiting friend on W. S. At that amount it might have been a message for those frisky Indians in the future one wonders if a customer doesn't BF, not enough drinks, all of a sudden she goes to the manager and????????? And they say Indians got no money hereafter I would hate to be Indian visiting here is this a message also?

Here is the situation as I know it since I used to ride my mountain bike up to the area daily. When it is mentioned started work 2008 if you call it that not sure of the budget 1 baht it was like one guy with a shovel? They had sprinkler lines still on the field watering once in a while. There was a American Softball group playing every Sunday for a few years they just moved the sprinklers to the side. Some work was being done but not much then there was a driving school in the back and they were flying these big model planes in the front area. Then one day the Thai Army Corp of Engineering came set up shop that is when majority of the work got done. They dynamite the back side so the could built the seating and put in lights maybe two three years best. Way before Covid even hit the work had already stopped majority of the Corp left way before that. Prior to Corp coming it was said or rumor officials empty the funding and took the funds to Beach Road to widen or resurface range of over one Hundred Million Baht, then again to 125,000 plus to put in all the pedestrian crossing lights around Beach road/ second road. I think last year when I read the current Mayor said it would be finished by year end I scratch my head if you go up there there isn't any work going on for a long time. I don't need to go on as to what happened to the funding they are all crooks particularly the brother Mayor. It isn't only the so call stadium the entire facility surrounding is run down now including surrounding roads. It is truly a landmark of a joke I feel sorry for the homeowners top of the hill that has to look at the massive project I'm sure when it is open and the lights goes on you think they are unhappy now just wait!

Reason I ask this public Pool is what I was going to suggest. It is largest public pool I know and it is covered. From town maybe 8-10 KM, motorbike taxi maybe 120baht, car 200 baht?

Prawit falls asleep on the job - much online merriment as acting PM dozes
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Krabi News
Bit sensitive you must be from government or was a half ass CEO that blood sucked your workers and claim it was done by you???? Your remark " no responsibility " is the general view people like you who feel their S don't Stink. Here in Thailand why would anyone want to retired and run a resort just shows your level of thinking although you feel necessary to brag your not of that age yet just show when you open your mouth you validate my point! -
Maybe our age and the times technology? It comes down to proper teaching at all levels. This company is promoting technology expensive at that regardless and I'm not lessening a child's life. A long long time ago, in school we take field trips not in Vans, buses and public at that the Adult was taught how many student as we got on and off each was counted before the bus moved the adult ran through the bus to double check. When older, day camp, if you were 16 or older wanted to be leader we took younger kids on trips to the park many times on public buses taught this old fashion method same with Simply crossing the street. Today for example while driving we have reverse cameras they are great but when in doubts get out and double check the old fashion way especially for kids. I would teach others they must look after each other but as An adult I wouldn't assume or take it for granted. I agree with many as a driver of a van they have a schedule know the number of students a route when it comes to a life you take nothing for granted there are two doors you got to open on those van, sliding and rear open it and take a visual look!

Funny, a bit off? In my hay day not too long ago???? I use to see a regular at a GoGo, in the beginning she had no man so we spent a lot of time together. One night she broke the news that she now had a guy living with her so our time was limited no problem it wasn't like she didn't have any other customers. The Thai guy knew from the get go she went with customer particular Farang as long as she didn't go LT, so I continue just adjusted my schedule. One night I get a call I go down to her work she is crying her friends said BF beat her up I ask why? Girlfriend said while the Thai guy was doing his thing with her she blurted out my name? When he went through her Phone " Line " realized I wasn't a farang he went crazy. LOL

Correct, now with Covid being not the main topic each day the focus on the real epidemic in Thailand is front and center again! Baby steps are right once a year they get on their bandwagon this year finally W. H. O. are demanding more for the money that is given 10 million each year to improve than putting up some road signs. This year they are using NEW to replace the OLD but what is new is actually the same. It will never change in my lifetime as Rooster noted This week in his article Thai leaders don't want foreigners help just theIr money. Not matter what suggestion what law the people in charge now come from the same system how do you make new changes if you know nothing but old. They raise the fine but the people who administrated and enforced RTP decided to rewrite it to suit them that is in Bangkok so with 72 provinces they also do the same in one month they will be back to the same same as Thai saying. Enable to fix or reduce the problem one must know what it is have alternatives my conclusion there isn't one Thai in Thailand if there is they are too afraid to speak out. This problem falls into just one chapter of a larger Book problem This is Thailand!

Police Summon Mountain B Pub Electrician, To Charge Him With Negligence
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Based on the comments here that is exactly why we have a field day with their logic! If the owners got cheap with the sound proofing " certified electrician " I wonder how you going to prove the actual work? " is this your work " " Mai " bye! He said she said! Lots of burn out extension cords. Pretty much what you would find at any local market you think the over hanging wired are bad????? -
Election or no election just a waste of time the result is already in plus even if it isn't those who come to power you got the same old same old from the swamp. Anything with the new and improve Governor of Bangkok, anything new and improve in Pattaya with the new Mayor????? The logo " scale of justice " should be broken in half or tited heavily to one side.

Good opinion but that is the reason for the problem here! You must have a crystal ball as to when it is safe and not which translate you know exactly the result will be if you were to wear one or not. Laws are pull in for s reason sadly Thailand like to copy other countries but don't have the necessary police system to enforce. Rules are put in for a reason so if there is a minicus of a chance it happens.

Much Higher Traffic Fines in Effect from Sept 5
thailand49 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
True but this is the way it works here they got a bit correct,? In society you can't add the equation whether a person can pay or not. Rules are put in to create enough doubt to prevent a person to think about the lost? That lost penalty must be great enough to deter. Here it is the principal of scared tactics or honor system because if we see it so do Thais no enforcement particularly to collect at all cost without exception. They know the police is judge and jury their system courts don't have the time to deal with such little stuff their days are too busy doing what the police are doing which is nothing! They talk big if they actually enforced all their mandates the people would rise up and overthrow them. So when they can't pay " Mai pen rai " give me what you can a short lecture, go to temple, pad on the back and hope the honor system works. Then here comes a farang bye! $$$$$ -
Much Higher Traffic Fines in Effect from Sept 5
thailand49 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
On the week of the 5th, they will make their grandstanding by the end of week they will do their show and tell photo media op as to how successful. But next week everyone will be back indoors playing with their phones. Once a month they will do a road check which people can see and know where they are KM away, As the holiday come up they will have a catchy phrase 5-7 deadly days but go on with your ways because the RTP will be under the tents playing with our phones in the shades on OT. By the beginning of next year they once again will scratch their heads where we go wrong? ????
