  1. I wish you would stop with this article as it is only causing panic. These laws have been in place for a long time but never enforced as I believe the Government realises that this would 'kill the goose that laid the golden egg'. Even though they do not get any income from taxing us expats they benefit in many other ways.
  2. Some people have no scruples and will do anything for money. Hope the animals can recover and lead a happier life. It is the Chinese desire for tiger parts which fund such activities.
  3. Hope he takes the power company to the cleaners. This is an occupational hazard when driving around Thailand.
  4. Here we go again with the Chinese commercial blackmail. If the Thai government folds on this issue, it will confirm what I’ve always believed that they have no backbone whatsoever!
  5. The Thais will love you when you come to spend money as a tourist, hence the smiles. However, live here and they no longer like you because expats have the money, houses and nice cars. They tend to forget that it was many of us expats who were donating money to enable the hotels to give food to those long lines of unemployed starving Thais. It was expat spending which basically kept this place afloat. If they do anything to disturb the status quo they will slowly kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
  6. It all comes down to a complete failure of law enforcement in Thailand. Until appropriate penalties are set/fixe, enforced and reported to the public there will be no change. At the least the taxi driver will have to live with the fact that he killed a 22 year old man for the rest of. his life.
  7. It is to be hoped that one day there will be similar delay for the ambulance in which he is suffering! Particularly shameful for a police officer to behave in such a way. However, that is the Thai police - no shame! No wonder nobody respects them.
  8. Squirrels or 'tree rats as they are affectionately known are the worst enemy of all garden wild life. We have bulbuls that regularly nest in our shrubs but the tree rats find them just as the chicks are ready to fledge. Anybody know how to get rid of the squirrels?
  9. So why is no-one proposing that the existing statute of limitation should be extended? Oh yes, just saw a pig fly by my window!
  10. They could start by doing away with the advertising trucks! These are a danger to road users and a big contributor to noise pollution.
