Car drivers must sit through a one hour video which is a joke. The woman driver never uses her mirrors and worst of all, there is no equivalent video for motorcycle drivers.

The traffic rules are a joke. The police should take a trip up Khao Talo in Pattaya sometime. No helmets, excessive speeding and worst of all, non-existent motorcycle and car exhausts. The idiots driving these vehicles are completely selfish disturbing the population on a regular basis. RTP would win much kudos if they were to address these issues in Khao Talo.

Many thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

I have been retired here in Pattaya for 14 years and own a few condos, the rents of which supplement my meagre UK state pension. During this time I have served on each of the owners' committees, known as CoCs or Co-Owners Committees. I have also served as Chairman of the CoC at each of the condos where I sign documents regularly on behalf of the owners. The village in which I live is about to be handed over to the owners after 18 years being operated by the developer and a Home Owners' Committee (HOC) has been formed in preparation of the handover. One of the committee members is insisting that the Chairman must have a work permit to be able to act in the position. My believe is that, as volunteers not receiving any remuneration, we are not obliged to do so, and have not done so in the condos without any such problems. Getting any information out of the Labour Department is like getting blood out of a stone. Can anybody with knowlegde/experience of such situations please assist? Thanks

Like any other offender in Thailand, their visa should be revoked and then deported to send a message to others of the same ilk.

Hopefully, somebody will have the balls to do the necessary here before he gets chance to avoid the consequences by disappearing overseas. Don't give his dad much chance in the upcoming elections because of his son's stupidity!

It would probably be cheaper to supply the farmers up north with nitrate fertiliser to be used to Mak compost from their crop waste. They get fertiliser for their next crop and reduce the particulates in the air. A WIN WIN Situation!

The authorities are probably regretting not encouraging the public to switch to electric cars!

Six years ago I gave a five-day training course on LNG to EGAT middle managers. At the end of the course I suggested that they should also be thinking about solar power farms. They would have paid for themselves twice over by now!

The old adage mentioning stones and glass houses comes to mind here!

Noticeable that they don’t appear to be doing the same with the Thai motorcycle drivers who have removed the baffles from the motorbike exhaust. Classic case is several in Khao Talo who drive up and down late at night keeping people awake.

So now we know what all the protagonists stand for. They can ban MFP and its leaders but the people know what MFP stands for and hopefully will vote accordingly in the next election with an even larger majority which cannot be ignored or put down. Wherever you go in the world money talks louder than anything else. As long as the population is living well they will not stand up to the greedy bureaucrats.

I just tried to book flights to Phuket for next week. Tried the Thai Airways site with different browsers. Locked out. Then tried with the App on my phone - same again. So I thought I would try the call centre in Bangkok. Hanging on for 20 mins with no answer. So just how do I book a flight with Thai Airways??!!

They clearly have not flown with many other airlines!

It was bad enough when unsolicited adverts started appearing on your news pages. The saving grace was that we could shut them down. Unfortunately, we now have a pop-up appearing at the bottom of the page which we cannot eliminate. Shameful lack of consideration for your readers.
