No 6 bob. So you think it's good that drunk driving is tolerated. Personally I would like to see everyone who is caught driving while drunk getting heavily fined and jailed for at least 5 years, and then if it is a non Thai, deported.

I can remember up until recently the times when most topics you were answering you were treading on tiptoes half expecting some kind of warning. That's not the case now, the admins seem to have full control of everything. You will always get the odd idiot, but I'm happier the way things are now.

and GG.

I think the poster is referring to the half wits who cover large parts of their body with tattoos, not a small one or even two very small ones that can easily be covered up.

"Agree but in a democracy" This Banana Republic of Thailand is anything but a democracy. Even in Parliament, who decides what defamation is? It is only a word to suit those with the most power and that is not a PM who does not have a backing of soldiers with guns and tanks.

What about all the money grabbing from the unelected soldier and his medical profession and hotel owning buddies during the Chinese virus?

"he's the worst political leader THA has had in decades," What???? Don't you remember the also unelected soldier who led that illegal coup in 2014 and stayed in charge of this backward third world country for 9 years?

Only Shinawatra government?? Don't you mean any government Thai or Western?

Labour the party of the "working class" with the multimillionaire "Sir" in charge, or a guy from a family of emigrants?? Nobody could be any worse than them, so for a change vote for Reform.

What a rude answer, the poster is only looking for some important advice.

What about the former unelected PM who caused an illegal coup in 2014? Why has he not been charged the same as that other criminal Suthep?

Are there any more boring topics than the ones that keep coming from this Gamma and Bob Smith?

If he is as rich as what I have read, his honesty must surely be very questionable.

True, Agoda, Booking.com and others are now the same company.

How I would love to be able to buy that without the cheese.

If you want to book a hotel, don't forget to add the 17% taxes on the price Agoda first quotes you. They do have the small print, but that is because they know most people don't notice it.

What about gas and electricty prices?

Unlike most Thais Glaswegians will fight one on one.

If he can keep any soldiers from trying to edge their way into any government, that will be a good start. If he can manage that, he can stay on bail, stay on parole, and even stay banned from politics forever.

Advanced Member 22k Gender:Male Popular Post Posted yesterday at 08:40 AM "If they made it a little easier for foreigners to open legal factories and a little more difficult for foreigners to operate illegal factories, I suspect they could replace 15,000 Thai jobs in a heartbeat. Common sense is not the trait of Thai governments.

The patrol cars are sitting outside the highway police stations most of the time because their budget does not include enough for fuel to keep these cars on the road. Would common sense not tell you that these cars with their crew could be sitting at certain spots out of sight from traffic and watching for bad driving than sitting in these Highway police stations probably playing with their phones. The officers themselves would probably tell you that if they were patrollig the roads all the time the drivers would always see them and start behaving themselves, so they may as well just stay for long periods in their stations.

What bank's that then? Bangkok bank charged me 500Bt for a replacement debit card when I lost my original one.

People in glass houses.

"Every hotel in Pattaya demands a cash deposit in case the guest steals something from the room". Hotels and guesthouses have to get payment up front otherwise some guests will just do a fly by night, and that applies anywhere. I have stayed in lots of hotels and guesthouses in Pattaya and I don't ever remember paying any more than the agreed price up front for the nights you are staying.

"Conservatives have stuffed up for the past decade or so." True, and Labour have stuffed up since the sixties and seventies when Wilson was PM and they will stuff up again with this Tory in disguise "Sir" in charge.
