Thailand Adjusts Excise Taxes on Local Liquor to Boost Tourism
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As usual, it is smoke and mirrors. They only put the tax up on local beers and spirits two months ago. Now reduce it for a few months, then probably raise it even higher. The tax man, no matter what country, will never give up grabbing as much as possible. -
Most People Disagree To Parole Granted To Thaksin: NIDA Poll
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The best explanation of an opinion poll I have ever seen......................... -
Exactly, many people just do not realise the banks, and Governments want us to stop using cash. Then they will have one more step to complete control.

Thai police officers face bankruptcy with debt over 300 billion baht
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Must be a knock on effect from the computerisation of automatic speeding fines, etc. Tea money taking a big hit. Thai household debt is very high I believe. In our village there are always meetings and announcements that it is time to pay the government their instalment on loans, or interest will be added................cannot get blood from a stone, they borrow but do not have the concept, or the means to repay the banks. -
Big Joke faces 2 charges over financial links to gambling operators
AhFarangJa replied to anchadian's topic in Thailand News
Another Farang hater that put more obstacles on extension applications, I for one would not be too sad to see the back of him, if he is guilty. More than likely upset the bank balances of a few higher ups in his past crusading campaigns. -
Songkran holiday unlikely to boost outbound trips due to high airfares
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Disgraceful, fleecing all those people trying to get out of Melbourne for a few days. -
I always remember this line from Gullivers Travels.................. Laws are best explained, interpreted, and applied by those whose interest and abilities lie in perverting, confounding, and eluding them.

Health ministry’s alcohol curfew talks hit a hiccup
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They need to set up a committee to look into what is needed in order to set up a committee. Then, they need to go out into the field, and explore a few dozen restaurants to visualise the impact, then go back and set up a committee to evaluate the findings and report back. Should all be clear cut by, say, 2029....ish. -
Health ministry’s alcohol curfew talks hit a hiccup
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I know many Thais drink in the street, heck, they ride around here with a bottle of Chang in one hand, and a spliff in the other. However, it is illegal, and a good little earner for the BIB to extort Farangs. -
Yep, get him and A nut in together and I am moving.

Move To Reduce Speed Limit On 40 Busy Bangkok Roads To 50km Per Hour
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I may be thinking a little too mutt, but how about getting out and fining all the motorbike riders on the pavements, also, the store holders, and vendors taking up the whole pavement so pedestrians have to walk in the gutters......nah.......that would mean actually getting out there and doing something. Much better to simply add another regulation to the other few thousand that are already totally ignored.- 61 replies

There fixed that for them. Same netizens that overtake you and cut in the road in front of you, or texting while driving, or driving overloaded pick ups. The list is endless, but we all know that Thai drivers are the best in the world...

Thaksin Won’t Be Held In Police Custody Upon Release On Parole: Lawyer
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well, who could have seen that one coming. -
Fair treatment......that is a joke. Also, if he is found guilty of Le Majeste would that mean His Royal pardon would be reversed....... All just a waste of money and time as we all know what the outcome will be.

British Tourist Dies After Fall from Pattaya Hotel
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I find many balconies here are way to low. Many times in hotels I have stayed away from the balconies. My Son's Condo in Hua Hin is a good example. He, like me is over 6 foot tall, the balcony only comes to hip height, maybe a bit more. I asked if I could raise the railing, in the same style and materials, but was denied, so I fitted non skid tape along the tiles as when they are wet they are like ice, and he is on the 6th. floor. -
Foreigner Begging for Money in Bangkok Sparks Investigation
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Reserved occupation for Thai National only is my guess. -
This went through our village recently, but in a slightly different form. A receipt was dropped in the letter box. All appeared official, with a QR code to pay. That is when the money goes to a fake account. This was posted a few months ago, so we were wise to it. One crazy thing is when they drop them in the mailbox. It must be the middle of the night as our box is directly outside the shop front gate.
