Imagine how much money police could make if they actually enforced the rules all day, every day and not just when the mia nois or the bosses need topping up.

Anywhere else in Asia, she would be shot or hanged for drug trafficking. Anywhere in the west, they would have tracked down the buyers at the bus station and made a ton of arrests. But, TIT.

Imagine if they legalized gambling, drugs, and prostitution at the same time. Enforcers would go broke overnight leaving millions of unemployed mia nois and giks.

How about they eye tons of garbage thrown into the klongs everyday? Don't need Dutch software to make sure Water Dept is doing their job by keeping the pumps running.

We have to burn the village in order to save it.

This should be interesting. I hope the kid's parents are giant oil barons in Kuwait and the embassador gets involved. That would be magic.

If it is at the end of a busy night the establishment may be running short of fifty or twenty baht notes as they have been given to previous customers , or the staff keep the notes to exchange for their tips as they don't want to be carting home their tips in loose change.

A very good and reasonable explanation. Thank you!

Thai's can't even get on the same page to run a beach, let alone a big casino. I'm all for casinos, when managed properly. Just imagine the type of taxi, tuk tuk, and other nonsense outside a Thai casino. They would hire the same security monkeys that take pleasure in beating foreigners on a whim. Pattaya would be the last place I would put a casino. It would be better if they pulled a "Vegas" type route and built it out in the middle of nowhere to keep the criminals in one spot.

I'm not quite certain how to respond since the OP makes it clear that responders are either "Thai bashers" or Thai apologists.

Yes, I've seen it in Bangkok (and many other places not in Thailand). It's a strategy to garner tip money....I had always presumed most people understand that.

Who are the people you would "let people know about it"?

Maybe the newer members here or maybe the older crowd who might not pay attention as much.

More and more here in Bangkok (a few times in Phuket), after a meal out, Thai food or other, I am noticing they are giving 40-50 baht in coins back. I'm usually a very good tipper at all venues (expenses). I feel as if the server thinks most don't want to carry change or that farangs don't care about it (becot only samall moneeee), but if they are putting 40-50 baht in 10 baht coins among the rest of the smaller money for every customer, that could end up being quite a tipping scheme, on top of the service charges etc.

Thais can do no wrong crowd: You must be a cheap charlie who never tips..etc. If you don't like it go home. They do the same in your country. They only make XXX amount money, they have a family...etc. You must be too lazy or stupid to count your own change.....blah blah blah.

Thai bashers: Yes, they are ALL in on it and they ALL are trying to steal your money. That's why I don't go to Thai restaurants.....blah blah blah.

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this more or maybe to let people know about it.

Metaphor of the day:

Your doctor has told you that you have Stage 4 Brain Cancer. It is very bad and has been there for years with all the signs and symptoms, but because it unreported for so long, it will be very difficult to cure. Not impossible, but extremely long and tenuous. Now, it may be a bit premature to declare yourself cancer free and cured after the first Chemo treatment.

Like this one

Another amazing Thailand complaint. No cares about "using influence" until it's the Chinese using it. It's all fun and games until someone else's brown envelops are fatter than yours. You wanted Chinese, you got Chinese. Welcome to Chineseness 101.

You may want to be more specific about what kind of fish and corals you are looking for.

All very interesting!

I have a few questions:

In our garden we have at least four "wild" bee hives. They are absolute not aggressive. Is it possible to let them move to a self made hive? Or, if you place a bee hive with an population in it will this cause problems about territory or something?

Regards, Arjen.

I would at least try to rehome the wild ones to your hives. Easier to monitor and get. Tons of youtube videos on how to take them down and put them into your boxes.

I'm certainly not an expert but the wild bees we had in the roof for years (I left them alone and they left me alone) never produced much honey. There are different species of bees of course.

Yes this is true...if you don't care if the bees come or go and you aren't interested in honey, leave them alone. If I had a big enough place, I would rather capture and rehome wild bees from the local area, rather than get some shipped. If your bees have been there for years, I bet their hive is much larger than you think in your roof.

There will be a few facebook pages about this as well as a bee farm.

This page sells bee keeping equipment. I'm sure they should be able to point you to right places where they sell bees.

Thank you so much!

Hey guys! I'm looking for "Bee research" or "apiary" places around Bangkok. A place that sells the bee hives and bees. I know they are usually connected to Universities, but I am having a hard time finding them. Only returns in English are the touristy bee places in Chiang Mai and Pattaya.

Any help in written Thai so Ms. Firemedic can look it up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Seems fair. 1% of what he stole gets kicked to the prosecutor.....He'll be gone in a week with a new life in Dubai waiting for him. Good luck to him.

I started another thread as well....it has no replies. I'd like to do it as a hobby more than for profit. I've been reading and watching videos for weeks about beekeeping, but here in BKK it is very difficult to find help with it.

Weerayuth and officials from the Sawang Boribun Thmmasathan Pattaya rushed out to the sea.

More "rushing" to the scene.

I'm guessing the one and only pump he visited was the only one in Bangkok was working.

Considering those volunteers can't/won't take a dump without permission, I'm 100% positive they are the middlemen.

Yes...we all know it's an inside joke amongst the reporters. We all just roll our eyes and go on about our day.
