A similar problem I am having regarding loading pages. I click on notifications, they open, but will not take me to the relevant post. Also, If I click on one of the headings down the right side, nothing happens, it will not take me to the article. I have to log out, and go to the article via my email notification. This has been happening for over a week now.

So was England..............

Looks like no electricity again.

I wonder how many corrupt people in public service now have no criminal record......

The other 148 Tonnes had already been distributed around certain offices for re-cycling......

Yes, then they come out with about eight plastic bags filled with pretty coloured pills that they have absolutely no idea what they contain.

Thankfully I do not see any in my neck of the woods, dirty, smelly, polluting, noisy, and that is just the buses.....

That's the brush taken care of, now, about the paint......

Thanks Richard. I posted before I saw your post...

COVERMORE INSURANCE......mentioned in the video................can we spread it around or is that against Forum rules, Apologies if it is.

Exactly my thoughts too, However, in my experience here over thirty plus years the average Thai will never raise a fuss over anything. Loss of face, and avoiding confrontation takes a front row seat. Sadly, they are taught at an early age to accept anything someone in a uniform, or position of authority tells them. That way the ruling elite hang on to the power, and money.

Oh, I don't know, I bet his bank accounts have swollen well.....

They did not have to as it is most likely their boss owns it......

What if she was your Daughter, or young Sister, or Niece?

Correct, a slap on the wrist, and an email to the Saudi Authorities. That way they are not responsible for any repercussions. Plausible deniability, and let his home country deal with him, unless of course he has ties there.

All you need do is look at the infrastructure, and you will see it is hanging by a thread. They modernised the roads for 30 kilometres near us, and they are flooding and cracking after two months. Every time it rains our power goes off. About 100 metres from my house the bridge collapsed 6 years ago, and there is still a temporary army bridge in its place. The list is endless, and all down to skimming and corruption. However, Thailand is nowhere near the top of the class when compared to other Countries, it is just more obvious here.

Can someone please explain to me the logic in the photo. They erect a barrier to stop bikes, yet leave a hole big enough for a wheelchair? Will bike riders say to themselves, "I cannot go through there because it is for wheelchairs only"....

Legally they are not, unless it has a restaurant licence. The bars pay a "fee" to the local B.I.B. for them to turn a blind eye. Before anyone comes back with a snide comment I speak from experience of nearly 10 years in the business.

I had a box of books in Hua hin, I just took them to a friends bar where he had a free borrow and return library.

Concise, and informative, thank you for your post. Politics in this Country is always a minefield.

Exactly Richard I sincerely doubt the junta will allow any other party in, regardless of elections. They are employing a lot of people whose sole purpose is to find anything remotely illegal against the MFP members so that they can ban them from politics, and nullify the election.

The NACC are the last people to go to if you want an honest outcome.

I think what they should have written is that bar owners agonise over the loss of income. Been there, done it, and it does make a difference to profits.

While they are at it why not reduce the ridiculously high tax on imported wines, which I call a Farang tax. Can they not see that reducing the tax will increase sales, which increases revenue. Or will they stick to the tried and tested Thai business model of "if there are no customers, increase the price".
