What an arrogant OP! Why shouldn't people complain? They can complain if they wish and I really don't suppose that they care what the OP thinks, possibly wonder why the OP cares about people complaining. Almost certainly wondering why the OP should complain about their complaints! Is it just expats complaining that upsets the OP so much or should Thais stop complaining about how much more expensive things have become over the last year? Believe me, Thais are complaining. A year ago chicken breast in Big C was around 50 Baht/Kilo. Today it is 103 Baht! That is hardly a small increase. Many items are 50-100% higher than they were a year ago. Have you any idea how these price increases affect a single Mother on minimum wage? They are paying more and have less money in their pocket to start with because it costs the so much more in fuel to get to work. 10 Baht increases may mean nothing to smug expats who like to look down on people with less money than them, but those 10 Baht's add up and mean a lot to lower paid Thais. Maybe the OP should learn some humility and empathy for people who have less money to spare. Just for the record, the price increases don't affect me much at all as I still spend less than my income, but I still feel for people who are affected.

How do you know that the vehicle was not parked appropriately? All we know is that, in the opinion of the other person, it was parked too close. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.

Complainers can remain anonymous? I think if people could trust that there would be a lot more complaints nationwide. A lot of farangs believe that Thais have no problem with noise pollution, but that is not ture, they are just too scared of possible repercussions if they complain.

Headline says "Old Man" Article says "50-something man" 50-something is old? I'm ancient! ☹️

As the weapons have not been delivered yet, it is impossible for them to have been "struck" already.

Loud??? Now that's an understatement! speak louder??? No, they have to shout because the music is so loud! Mr Anutin, did you know that there are noise laws in this country? Of course they are not enforced just like many other laws. I am sure that many many Thais suffer from hearing damage due to the noise levels that they are subjected to. That is why so many Thais shout instead of conversing normally. Hearing damage, that falls under "health" doesn't it? I don't need a decibel meter to know that the music in these venues is excessively loud. Mr Anutin, why don't you see to it that the noise laws are enforced and maybe people could talk without shouting into each other's faces. Anyway, they have got to hope that the number of infections does rise dramatically. If it doesn't people will be asking what was the point of keeping these venues closed for over a year.

Those hats in the photo are really ugly. I can't believe that anyone would buy such cr*p just because it has a designer name!

I had to have a PCR test recently prior to having minor surgery. Don't know if it is required in all hospitals.

I don't know. The police just wouldn't be the same with no Sting.

How is that related to hanging wires?

Certainly some people can save but the vast majority can not. Do you really think that a Thai person earning less than 10,000 Baht per month can save anything? Especially a single mother with a couple of kids.

The Thai bars in Khon Kaen are open past 1:00 am now with the pounding music. I don't see that will change anytime soon.

I haven't seen any updated figures for a few years, but murder rate in Thailand was higher than USA (per capita).

Does that mean that chicken prices for the domestic market will raise even higher? Chicken breast in Big C is getting close to double what it was a year ago!

"To perform any professional work, regardless of whether or not there is an employer" Still a bit vague though. Practically any DIY that you do could be considered professional work.

I haven't seen any details of the law for a few years now but I do remember that it is quite vague and defined work as using your skill or knowledge whether paid or not. There is also no mention of "work that could be done by a Thai". Strictly speaking, your friend is probably correct and you could be prosecuted for working in your own home. In reality, I have not known anyone that has been prosecuted and I think it doubtful that anyone ever will be.

Yes there is. 4 or 5 years ago I had to do an extension based on income + money in the bank. The Embassy letter got held up in the post ( actually delivered to the wrong address) so I applied the day after my extension expired. No problem, I paid the 500 Baht fine and got my new extension.

So what were the musicians doing there? Obviously not customers or they would have been listed as "customers". If there were musicians performing, then it is an entertainment venue. Entertainment venues are not supposed to be open. I doubt that they were serving alcohol though (sarcasm).

What's H & M?

"Belgian couple"? I thought that they were Thais that had returned from Belgium.

What i don't get is why park like that? The road is wide, doesn't look busy, so absolutely no reason not to park correctly. The only reason that I can think of is that it saves a step or two on the walk to and from the shop!

Registered and applied on Sunday 5th (report due 7th). Email received Wednesday 8th to say that it had been approved. Next due date in March.

The biggest outbreak clusters have been in Bangkok and surrounding provinces. I have never understood how anyone in their right mind can make these decisions.

10,000 Baht for each course sounds expensive to me.

In my opinion, they should allow the bars to open. Now that more people are vaccinated it's about time that we all realise that covid is not going away any time soon and we have to learn to live with it. The one thing that they should stamp on is loud music. The decibel level in Thai bars is dangerous. People can't talk, they have to scream at each other! When a person has to shout/scream they spread their spittle over a much bigger area than they do if talking in a normal voice.
