yeah, sweet thought, and ,i would dare say produtivity would surge also, but  then i woke up  . T I T.

Productivity would not surge as 3/4 of the work force would be in a catatonic state without access to facebook. LOL

This happened yesterday morning. Not today.

Great job on the part of 3BB for getting their system back online in less then 3 hours. Was able to get back online quickly compared to my former ISP TOT who would take a few days just for sorting out a short on the cable.

Preaching to the choir. Yet, falling on deaf Thai ears...again.

How stupid is this...

Dear hacker,

Please don't hack our website, it will ruin our beautiful country's image.

In the mean time, all the stalls that sell the same stuff along 2nd road and Beach road goes what...unnoticed?

Actually, there is a rumor floating around that the increase is only for the foreigners and not the Thai themselves. I do not, repeat, do not know if this is true.

My intention is NOT to add fuel to this rumor but, to see if someone can confirm or deny this rumor.

Hey! I've seen these guys before.

Oh, wait...that's my LINE stickers. Nevermind.

A national park fee was introduced but it has emerged this week that most of that went into the hands of influential figures who have robbed hundreds of millions from the state and from the island in protection rackets.

Of course they made millions; Thai entry fee 40baht, foreigner entry fee 200baht (400% more expensive for foreigners)

I am not against dual prices as long as it is reasonable.

Should count her lucky stars that she did not crash into someone more important then her. Otherwise, this whole "treatment in a psychological ward" bovine psychology would not help her at all.

For those wanting to travel to Pattaya from Bangkok, be advised that the mini-vans at Ekamai stops their service at 3pm. You will be directed to the govt bus service window and arrive at the Pattaya Nua bus station instead.

I have yet to find a mini-van service that will drop me off near Victory Monument or Central World area. If anybody knows of one...please share.

The catch: Patrons could use pot as long as it isn't smoked...

I admit that I have not touched the stuff for nearly 30 years, and things may have changed since then but, can someone explain how a person can use pot but not smoke it. Are they going to ask the waiter to bake them special brownies?

I am confused, you can or cannot use the water way for loy krathong?

You think the major cause of accidents is caused by children? Lol

That's not what I am saying. But, good one for spotting my error. LOL

Drivers ed Thai style...and then we wonder why so many road accidents.

If she had hit someone more rich or more popular or more HiSo, the outcome would clearly be very different. We would see the police actually do their jobs quickly.

A good campaign poster for not doing meth I'd say

 

interesting that they tested this girl for drugs and not the BMW girl.....

Because she did not throw herself on the ground and begin chanting, praying and speaking in tongue same as the other girl.

I asked a dozen different Thai drivers (friends of the family) what the difference was with all the yellow separation lines painted on the roads and none of them knew apart from indicating which side was which. Lack of driving school is my guess... Learning from an uncle, father, brother, a relative, etc. only teaches them how to operate a vehicle but only a little bit about regulations.

BANGKOK: -- A RESEARCH centre has been set up to facilitate Thailand’s shift in becoming a “smart country”.

I can have sooooo much fun with this caption but, I am still on my first cup of coffee...

Another user, Thongphon Wongwang, said that those seeking to avoid justice are using the same playbook.

“It’s the same trick of famous people. When they get in an accident, they are stressed and they have mental disorders,” Thongphon wrote. “In the end, the issue will go away quietly. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”

At least some Thai people are crying out for REAL justice. Good on them.

From the original article;

Facebook user Immo Pichamol posted photos of her father, who drove the taxi that was in the accident, and spoke her mind after hundreds of people flocked to the model’s Facebook and wrote their messages of love and support.

...

After the accident on Monday evening, the model even gained tens of thousands more followers on Facebook.

Just goes to show were their priorities lies... it's all a popularity contest. No remorse at all. Sympathy for the 'pretty' but none for the real accident victims.

Pulled from the original article...

The officer added he found “stress relief” pills and a mental patient card in her purse. The model’s relatives told police that Kritada was forced to withdraw her shares from a diet pill business and had personal problems.

I for one like the current state.

I do pity the businesses that are hurting from lack of customers but, I do like that it is far more quiet around my neighborhood. No blaring DJ-SR.com awful music or bad renditions of Hotel California until 2am...

That being said, bringing back big events that attract tourists is a good thing.

Sheesh, years ago (like, 15 or so) I used to have conversations with girls and they'd ask about living in Canada. I told them what they could earn as a waitress/cashier, shop clerk, etc and they all wanted to immediately move to Canada !

Then I explained to them how the government takes up to 33% of their salary right off the top in taxes and how they have to pay additional taxes on almost everything they buy, and may still have to pay even more taxes at the end of the year ! I also told them what a small apartment in a cheap (and not so nice) part of Vancouver would cost, and how much other things would cost. Yeah, they could make more money, but they'd also have to pay a lot more just to get by.

Then I told them what the weather was like at that time (it was February and in Pattaya the temperature was down to around 20 Celsius while in Vancouver it was a mild 0 degrees) ! Once they realized that they quickly changed their minds about wanting to move there !

 

I am also from Canada and told the exact same thing. What really changed their minds was when I explained what a prenup agreement was and that they would not receive half of what the man owns... Strange how quickly they changed the subject.

All I can say is 'Welcome to the real world!'.
