  1. Everyone has to look like they are on the side of the little people for face. The problem is that even if this goes through there is not a monopoly. Everyone seems to have forgotten AIS. Also as far as price gouging Thai government has the ability to manage and limit price increases much as they have done with food and petroleum prices. The people that will be hurt are the workers found to be redundant
  2. We all have to be a little crazy or there's no way we could survive this world
  3. That's the challenge so many of the bars and homes were built on the old standards
  4. Putin is not going to leave the Kremlin. It would give the people against him the opportunity to take over. Leaving would not be a problem. Landing back in Russia may be a different story. I am surprised Sleepy joe is not coming. I think he would like the ice cream here. I heard Siam paragon is going to be closed so that Kamala can go shopping instead of attending meetings.
  5. But how does this prove you aren't ????????????????????????????????????
  6. If PT is going to be seriously thought of as a political force and not a puppet of the Shin family it needs to move as far away as possible from Thaksin. If his daughter has any real desire to be a political force then run her as a candidate and put her in the government to show that she can do it. Just because she has the name and is daddy's little girl is not going to get them anywhere. As soon as she starts doing daddy's business the people will again revolt. Srettha Thavisin actually knows how to run a business and how to get things done. If not he would not be so wealthy. The fact also that he is not a politician is a good thing. He has built his fortune by hand not been given it through huge envelopes like a lot of people.
  7. Glad to hear it, Do they mandate that you have to have a door in the back. That seems to be another area where in the past they did not care
  8. Apartment buildings and condos have always been hazardous once you get above the 7th floor. Most fire departments do not have ladders that can reach higher than 7 floors. Walking street and NANA plaza are both problematic Walking street have 2 real exits while imagining a fire in NANA Plaza with only 1 exit and a small busy street. Part of the challenge is that there is no law that says there has to be an alleyway between 2 buildings so buildings build right against each other. This is the same with row housing (garden homes) if there is a fire by the door the only exit is to jump from the room above
  9. Anyone else getting random calls
  10. This is going to save insurance company millions.break the law while having an accident sorry not covered
  11. Why Walk around them. I enjoy the look ok their faces as the look up and see me in their way. I don't move for them I figure if they bump into enough people they will get the hint
  12. Credit where it's due. At least they are trying. Even if they brought in special international doctor to test people would complain
  13. The merger itself only has an affect on the people working for the companies. Redundant position will cost jobs. As to pricing that can be regulated much as petroleum and food prices are. If anything it will make AIS and TRUE stronger and hopefully better.
  14. The system here is too strict. I had to apologize publicly to a person that resembled the rear orifice on a member of the equine family even though he was. A friend got the boot and others have moved away Remember that hotel that took that guy to court about the restaurant. On the flip side Thai MSM is a lot better than American MSM
  15. Please define working girls. My definition is beach road. Other is they have a 9-5 job
  16. The return onward ticket I think is for 2 reasons 1 airline wants to make money 2 airline has had to deal with people rejected meaning they have to take you back at their expense. Mostly it is a CYA If airline doesn't ask for it don't worry about it
  17. The great puppet master. Imagine if they put Chan o cha and him in an election Perfect reason for a 3rd real party.
  18. Right does not always win. First you farang it Thai. Second You may win the battle but the LB or friends will know who complained and I would not want that hassle or worry. third if the condo board knows what is happening and allows it then you are going to lose no matter. The only ting I would do is ask your landlord if they have any other units in the building explain why you want to move but be polite and non aggressive. Then move you can not win no matter what you think and however right you are. PS You asked for our advice we have given it to you now it is up to you as to whether you heed the warnings or not.
  19. Thanks for the feedback
  20. How do you know these reporters had been here before. Accreditation makes sure that reporters are screened every country does it. Even if you have to wait 24 hours to get approval, it would be too long. I am sure CNN has people that were accredited but sent a new team.
  21. There are a lot of authorized journalists in the country or accredited. CNN and others have found that it is usually easier to have centralized reporters. The only difference is that CNN either did not have one accredited to Thailand or decided to send someone else. The part to me that says there was a problem is that the Journalist groups here are made up of international and national reporters came out against them. There is always someone that is going to try to make a buck looking at the pics of Kobe Bryant's death. That does not make it right or wrong. The police did what they had to do. They had 2 tourists that were at the crime scene. That would be the same as you or I walk in there. People would have been screaming bloody murder if the RTP had just let them walk around. The resolution of the issue was perfect in my opinion. They were charged with something that any of us could be if we work while on a 45-day visa.
  22. CNN will want to drop this. I am sure that considering the new owners are trying to improve the company's image, this is not what they had in mind. As to the reporter, I think it might be best to go back to Aus and try a different business. She is not going to move very far up the food chain with CNN RTP could have charged them with more (forget about someone giving them permission) that person would disappear. Charging them and getting them out of the country was the fastest and easiest way to resolve this for everyone.
  23. if you pay <deleted> and treat your people as <deleted> you get <deleted>. In order to get the brightest and best you have to provide the brightest and best outlook. Imagine if the RTP and the military paid 10k to start and provided good housing. Provided skills training so that people could get a good job after serving for a few years. You would not need the draft as young people would be lining up to join.
  24. In some countries he would live on the street and get full government support as well as being allowed to shoot animals and harass people.
