  1. How dare those pesky vapers ruin your glamorous nights out in Bangkok! I mean, the audacity of venue owners for not banning vaping in the no-smoking room! How dare they prioritize profits over your delicate throat? This is unacceptable!
  2. Maybe somchai can learn that in Europe we stop for pedestrians ????
  3. I’ve seen some cars driving around with frames that looks like EU with their respectable country letters, anyone know where I can purchase these? ????
  4. Just Google it dude. The punishment for smuggling drugs, such as cocaine, into Thailand can be severe. It is considered a serious crime under Thai law and can result in lengthy prison sentences, or even the death penalty. The specific punishment will depend on the amount of drugs involved and the circumstances of the case.
  5. Wow, what a true class act this "super rich tycoon" is. Not only did he drunkenly drive his fancy car into the back of a Pajero, but he also had the audacity to try and blame it on intestinal gas problems and his friend's girlfriend liking empty wine bottles. And let's not forget the cherry on top, his companion bleeding from a recent nose job. But of course, he's not worried, he'll just pay off the injured party and buy them a new car. I'm sure that will make everything better. Plus, the fact that he refused a DUI test and was bailed out for a measly 100,000 baht just solidifies his entitled attitude. Truly a shining example of how money can buy you out of any responsibility in Thailand.
  6. In an effort to combat one of the worst traffic situations in Southeast Asia, the legislature has taken steps to apply western style enforcement and up-to-date data with linked databases to ensure safety.
  7. Your calculation is correct that a 2400 watt load on a 240 volt circuit would result in a current of about 10 amps. However, your understanding that the maximum load for a 0.75 mm cable is 6 amps is also correct. It is not safe to use a 0.75 mm cable to carry a current of 10 amps because it is not rated for that amount of current. There are a few possible explanations for why you are seeing extension leads in Thailand rated for a higher load than the cable is capable of safely carrying: - The extension leads may not actually be rated for a load of 2400 watts. It is possible that the rating is incorrect or that the extension leads are not actually tested and rated for the load they claim to be able to handle. It is also possible that the extension lead you are seeing is incorrectly labeled. - The extension leads may be intended for use in a different type of electrical system. In some countries, the voltage of the electrical system is lower than it is in Thailand, so a 0.75 mm cable may be rated for a higher load. - The extension leads may be intended for use in a specific type of application where the load is not continuous. For example, they may be intended for use with tools or appliances that have a high starting current but a lower running current. In this case, the extension lead may be able to safely handle the high starting current for a short period of time without overheating.
  8. This might not be as bad as you think, the cable car system can provide a convenient and efficient way for those who want to avoid traffic or don’t want to get scammed by the local taxi mafia. But hey, who wouldn't want to miss out on the delightful experience of walking along the filth-strewn ladyboy beach with cigarette butts and other garbage scattered about?
  9. This is not true, Thailand is not a 2nd world nation. The term "2nd world" is no longer commonly used and referred to countries that were aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Thailand, on the other hand, is considered as a developing country
  10. It's amazing that the locals have actually become accustomed to seeing black sewage seeping into the sea. And who needs a long term solution anyway, when a quick plaster fix will do the trick? Clearly, the town of Pattaya is just oozing with charm and appeal. I guess when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade... or in this case, when life gives you sewage, you just learn to love it!
  11. Oh great, just what Phuket needs - more traffic! I'm sure the locals will be thrilled to have even more tourists clogging up the roads and making their daily commute even more miserable. And let's not forget the added bonus of having to compete with tuk-tuk drivers who can now be summoned via app - because that's exactly what the island needs, more competition for already struggling local businesses. Way to go, Grab Thailand
  12. Spending 40 billion baht on promoting a political party does not directly generate 80 billion baht in sales of other goods and services. The estimate of 70-80 billion baht in related economic activity is based on the idea of the multiplier effect, which is a concept in economics that describes how an initial injection of spending can have a larger impact on overall economic activity. For example, if a political party spends 40 billion baht on advertising and campaign materials, some of that money will go to companies that produce those materials. These companies will then use some of the money they earned to pay their employees and suppliers, and some of that money will be spent by those employees and suppliers on other goods and services. This chain of spending can continue, with each round of spending generating additional economic activity. The size of the multiplier effect can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the level of consumer spending and the efficiency of the economy. In this case, the estimate of 70-80 billion baht in related economic activity is based on the assumption that the initial injection of spending by the political parties will have a multiplier effect of around 2, meaning that for every 1 baht spent, an additional 1 baht of economic activity is generated. However, this is just an estimate and the actual impact of the election spending on the economy could be different
  13. This passage reveals a person who is self-serving and manipulative. They claim to be addressing various issues, such as poverty, corruption, and pandemics, but their true intentions are to benefit themselves and gain more power and control. They are also shown to be hypocritical, as they speak about the dangers of narcotics but are secretly thinking about how to control the cannabis market. Additionally, they show a lack of concern for the well-being of others, particularly the youth, and only seek to restore the economy to its former glory for their own gain. Overall, this person is depicted as corrupt and selfish
  14. Oh, absolutely. It's definitely on par with heroin and fentanyl. I mean, have you ever seen someone fall into a weed-induced coma? It's a real epidemic. ????
