Pattaya’s tourism takes a hit after Chinese abduction - video
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Is it kidnapping and crime. Sorry, they have that in China. I have to think that it has more to do with a crapy economy -
Thailand’s Destination Visa loophole that could cost you
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
If you owe nothing, then why not just submit the paperwork and get it done? Honestly, if they can figure out how to use the tax form for the immigration funds, it might be a good thing, LOL. Then again TIT DON'T YOU NEED TO HAVE TAX SUBMISSIONS FOR PERM RES -
Thai tax and SuperRich

But there is no name or so to prove that the person is here more than 180 would be impossible without a lot of international work and your home bank giving your info. -

It has verylittle to do with where a person lives GypsyT i hear you but what I am talking but is the desire to put all fairs at 20 baht not where they are now. The present rate reduces the number of people. However, this free BTS this week is giving people a chance to see what it will be like if the fee is lowered to 20 baht. It is not pretty LOL. For a lot of people it depends on where you get on the train. Presently If I am at Siam and going to Khu Kot, I take the train to NANA get on there, and by the time it gets back to Siam, I might have a seat. Last night, I was at Terminal 21 and people were lined up almost to Terminal 21 waiting to get a ticket and board. The platform was jammed. If this is the way of the future I think that they are going to find that people will go back to the minivans.

BTS does not go anywhere near chinatown but it is interesting to note that Sat and Sunday were the 2 highes pm2.5 days last week. No matter what though the 20 baht fair is not going to work for people because there are other options. Also add in that many of the stops that have parking donot have enough for all the cars that presently go there. That is another pain for people.

Why Democrats Hold the Advantage for 2028 and Beyond
kingstonkid replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The present DNC will never allow Witner and especially Shapiro to lead them. They are mainstream and not liberal enough for the presentr DNC. That is why we had Walz as VP conender. The DNC has only one possible chance, and that is if TRUMP TANKS, which he did not do last time and will probably do this time. As to the next contender from the GOP, it is going to be someone who will continue all the good things Trump is going to do. Also, do not expect TRUMP to do what Obama did and sit on the sidelines. He will still hold rallies and campaign for whoever is chosen. As long as OAC and her crew are around and the left keeps pushing abortion rights and LGBTQ rights and protecting the smelt over providing water to farmers. They are in trouble. Also, do not forget the Biden effect. Joe is going to hurt them for a while. Too many people said that Joe was great and sane and strong. Then there is the corruption that happened, along with the great DNC leader saying he would not pardon his family. While the DNC really does not have a leader the GOP has many that could step in and take the reins from trump and do what he is doing. -
Consideer this GTA in ontario canada has a pm2-5 problem and they do not burn any crops in Canada 1'3 times what is safe https://www.iqair.com/th-en/canada/ontario/toronto?srsltid=AfmBOoo4UVwtYKTbfYs1eKKz9WxvmdNUV3OuqLUkf1ymONkltVF56tIm London england 1.2 times what is supposedly safe NYC https://www.iqair.com/th-en/usa/new-york/new-york-city https://www.iqair.com/th-en/uk/england/london These are all countries that currently have lots of precipitation that can absorb the particles but is still over. What is the common denominator ? Too many people, too many cars, too many vehicles. Yes, Thailand has a problem with burning fields, and they do get some of the crop from other countries, but would that solve the problem? NO,, they have to find a way to get more vehicles out of the city. Easier said than done. More trains and lower fees is not going to solve it. Most people are still going to drive their kids to school; they are going to drive to work because it is convenient in their minds, and they do not want to be a sardine crammed into the BTS can. Is there a solution I am not sure. I think that the main thing is to educate people. Start with the farmers in Issaan or some area. Show them a method that does not cost them money that can do the same thing as burning their crops. Remember, most of these people do not have the money to buy any chemicals and have been taught that burning fields is the best thing. BANGKOK https://www.iqair.com/th-en/thailand/bangkok

There is always a problem it is just ath this time of year it gets worse and yes part of it is farmers but you are never going to get a Laos farmer to stop setting fire because it upsets thai's But normally we have wind I agree that there are times it gets worse but the main problem all year round is teh traffic. If you go to NANA BTS and sit under the station, you will see what I mean. It is the sme at any stationthat has high buildings on either side.

I take it you did not use it this weekend. how are you finding it today and as the week goes on.
-
LOL, I am not sure you have taken the BTS from a starting point at 6. The BTS starts, and in Khu Kot, to get a seat, you usually have to wait for one train, which is not a hassle. By the 3rd stop it is full, with the normal fee. The challenge is ot going to work but for people who are in the city wanting to go home or students after school. Starting points are easy. MorChit, when it was the first stop, was great, but as soon as they opened Lad Phrao it started to get crazy.

no, I've actually been here long enough that my Thai brain kicks in. Also found it interesting the GF stated that she was going to go back to the minivans this week as they are cheaper and less crowded. Thais will accept the long wait only because, just as in NYC or any large city, they have no alternative unless they drive or take a minivan

THAIS, everybody and their sister were out on Saturday from 1-4, which is usually busy but not that busy. The BTS at 7pm was also packed

Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
kingstonkid replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Technology-wise, Thailand is in the 21st century, but the people and culture are still in the past. When I was in Pakistan we used to sayit was still in the feudal system with 21st-century weapons Pakistan is still, in many ways, in the 1950s at best, but it has technology that even some Western countries have not figured out. The education system is the best example of this: the students have computers but a lot of the teachers still teach wrote learning and have no idea how to teach online. -
Hey don't forget the Vietnam vets who settled here instead of going home LOL There used to be a lot of them, but they have passed on

Took the BTS yesterday from Khu Kot to NANA. I can tell you from experience that if they bring in the 20 baht fare, it will drive more people to drive to work than to take the BTS. Every train was packed, and at Siam, you had to wait for a second train because it was too packed. Usually I can go to Nana and get on the train to Khu Kot and get a seat. Yesterday it was crowded standing room only all the way to the second last stop. Ther will be too many people this week on the trains and people are not going to be happy I can see people giving up onthe free and taking cars so they can breathe

Thaksin Reveals PM's Anti-Pollution Plan Initiated from Davos
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yeah the other thing I noticed yesterday was watch where most of the traffic gets held up on Suk. Under the BTS stations so there is no where for it to go. Hell even the bars that hve doors are closing them to keep it out. -
The issue that Joe created is interesting. Because all these people are pardoned for everything they did they no longer can take the 5th. If they are caught in a ly or mislead or fail to respond to a subpeona then they leave themselves open to new charges not covered by the pardon. If Congress wants they can hang Joe High. however the interesting catch is that Joe has done enough damage that it might be better to talk about what they think he did but not go to court.
