In my many years in Thailand, I have NEVER EVER seen any seller check, if my signature matches the one on the card.

Not just here. In oz I used to insist they check just to remind them of their obligations. Now it’s chips and PINs. 

No such critter as a nice Thai beach. This is one of the better ones 

The butler did it

300000 baht was the budgeted price. Much cheaper to build it as a wall. 

150000 baht into someone’s pocket. It’s the Thai way. 

Note to self. Never forget to carry my license with me. This may well have painted a bigger bullseye (or baht sign) on my back. 

That being said, something other paltry fines is required to get people thinking about their behaviour on the roads. 

What about if you run over a cop? What’s the penalty for that?

Nothing

Wow. What would they do to real criminals?

Oh that’s right. Very little. Let this be a lesson about the necessity to hand over those brown envelopes. 

Nothing about irate netizens?

Just another day in the land of smiles, home to the gentle Buddha loving Thais.

Everyday he turns in his grave.

Karma perhaps???

One word. Dumbfounded. 

I call it kharma

Lets not rule out the possibility of a heart felt wai and a week at the temple in lieu of the 20 years

Watch out Pattaya. There are 5+  million plastic ( bags bottles) heading your way. 

Plastic is poison. 

At least they’re talking about it and this is better than ignoring the problem. Time will tell but I think people are smart enough to make the change. It may take a while but the wheels of change are in motion. The more it’s talked about the more it’s likely to move in the right direction. 

Keep it moving. Be proactive and say no to plastic of any form when you get the chance. It’s a good feeling.

Latest headline public prosecutor has just ordered a new Lambo.?

Yep. Biggest snag is that they can’t afford to pay the bills if they bring him home. 

I guess bail is a possibility if you look at the track record of the judiciary. 

Frisk before you drink 

Wish I was 27. I’d be happy with 27 and 11 months as well. 

31 is 13 backwards. Welcome back.

Pu yai baan's.. only in these positions to benefit themselves in whatever way possible.

This has been my experience too. Corrupt to the core. Vermin of the worst kind. Seen it first hand and have a friend who works for one and she has some stories to tell. Should have been flushed at birth.

Maj Gen Surachet - currently the deputy commissioner of the tourist police - is one of four being mentioned as possible replacements for the job 

Let the bidding begin. I wonder what the reserve price for this one is. It’ll be BIG that’s for sure. 

Take a bow old mate. Just hope you weren’t up to no good.
