Seems like the new beautiful Beach Road walkway is almost finished, but now they have started ripping up the new tiles already and basically wrecking the walkway. No sooner is the sidewalk laid, and they start ripping it up again. Why can't the Pattaya City Engineering department plan, organize, lead and control civil engineering projects so that the city roadways, walkways are not consistently under construction and are fully usable?  Why can't they coordinate all of the utilities  so the job gets done once right, the first time and on-time, on budget and on quality. It just seems like a waste of money to dig twice in a year. Are they doing this on purpose just to make the project bigger, and more costly?

 

How come we never hear of anyone in City Hall getting fired for incompetence?

 

Here are 2 photos of digging and there are other locations too.

Thais can't plan anything. For planning needs a brain.

There are cardless atm machines at most banks nowadays... pretty sure you only need the phone, the app will bung you down a code. Labelled CDM or similar.

What if he forget his phone?

I really don't get it. I moved to Chanthaburi little over a year ago. I've seen them go through two major road renovations, neither of them lasted more than  month. Why must Pattaya milk such projects?

Because the people in City Hall are complete idiots. What a Swedish company can make in 3 weeks takes 6 months in Pattaya. No planning, no structure of the work. Look at the intersection soi Chayapruek 2/ Sukhumwit. Horrible!!

Pattaya police recorded yet another transgender magpie thief case involving some gold and an Indian man in Sin City. This time a 39 year old transgender woman was apprehended at a condominium in Pattaya’s Nong Prue district, following allegations of theft in the middle of the night. The victim, a 40 year old Indian tourist, reported the loss of a gold bracelet worth 200,000 baht.

 

The incident occurred around 9pm yesterday in a small alley in Pattaya’s Walking Street area. The police, led by Piyapong Ensan, Deputy Director of Pattaya City Police Station, and Thananon Athipansi, a Tourist Police officer, identified Saranpat Bowornkitnusorn from CCTV footage, leading to her arrest.

 

Saranpat denied the allegations, claiming she had just woken up Kolal Avisake without stealing anything. However, police were sceptical due to her criminal history, as she was previously arrested for theft in 2020. Despite her denial, the police have proceeded with the case, reported KhaoSod.

 

During the investigation, the police reviewed the CCTV footage and found a person with a feminine appearance committing the theft near a cannabis shop on Walking Street. The police traced the suspect’s escape route and discovered that Saranpat was staying at the mentioned condominium.

It seems like the Indians never learn to not carry expensive necklaces. How many times has this happened in Pattaya?

I had friends come from Aus to play golf and have fun so on the way back to the airport in a taxi that the price was agreed on he pulled over halfway on highway 7 said he wanted more to which they said no he took a u-turn and told them to get out if they dont pay more and drove off when they wouldn't leaving them stranded maybe the same guy who knows 

Why did they leave the taxi?

I have also made myself that question. 

Here I can live good on my pension. In my home country I only had enough for rent a small flat and cheap food. Not to have a car and a motorbike, rent a house and still have the half left for traveling around in Asia.

Thanks for the update…. Glad to see everything went as it should be….

No color test?

Shouldn't be a problem if you drive normal, but young people mostly don't. 

I quit 9 years ago. Not even 1 beer after that. 

No problem if you really want to. 

Time to leave Thailand for westeners. 

The general will be happy with only Cheap Charlie Chineses as guests. 

There are plenty of other countries which welcome us. 

Time to leave Thailand and all stupidity here. 

Booked hotel and flight for 10 days stay. Bought a new flight after 4 days. 

Didn't want to spoil 6 more days of my life there. 

Only good thing was the hotel and the people. 

Never again Bali or Indonesia!

This may sound silly, but do the post marks have to be in his home province/city?

Not sure why you would ignore that comment.

Islam means no hookers, high alcohol prices and no pork.

Beer in KL costs more than in the UK.

 

I could live without the hookers, but I insist on bacon for breakfast and a beer with dinner.

(not that keen on lamb or goat)

No problem to buy whatever you want.

Khon Kaen struck me as a nice clean city.

Pattaya has improved a lot in the last 20 years.

You must be joking!!!

Pattaya/Jomtien is full of trash in every corner.

They even filled up some small lakes with rubbish.

It's a disgusting place. I can't understand that people are going back there.

I don't know details. I just related what my pal related to me.  One thing for sure, he was v. exasperated and bummed out.

 

If Thai Imm had a halfway intelligent boss, he would go out and/or garner info on all the border crossings into Thailand, including airports - and start to get things working.  Concurrently, he would get info on in-country Imm offices, and streamline their operations. More than a few times, I've heard how Chiang Mai Imm office is seriously backed-up and inefficient.  There are certainly other offices which could be improved.  He could also look closely at Thai embassies and consulates.  Same for procedures.  As is, it's not working.

 

I know how bureaucracy works (and doesn't work) in Thailand.  Bureaucrats' main aim is to do as little as possible, and still get their weekly paychecks.  I've seen it on many levels.

 

 

Get things working?? In Thailand??

Countries with a justice like Thailand should of course not have death penalty. 

There must be someone in City Hall who just want to cause problems for the traffic in Pattaya. Just look at soi Watboon/Jomtien second road cross. Messed up one yea, and just last week they even started on soi Chayapruek!!! That person should be kicked out of office. The PM is welcome to check Pty's administratio.

Thai never think on next step, so why should they worry about flooding yet.
