Remember the over loaded truck scam, where trucks could buy a 3 day 'license' from the Highway police that ensured they would not be weighed.

Perhaps there's similar happening.

Can see it in photos here.

There is a border post HERE (click for map)in South Kanchanaburi. The road on the Thai side is newly built and and billiard table perfect. Wide perfect tarmac newly built. It suddenly stops 50m before the border and then a dirt track leading to the small border post.

It is obviously designed as a future border. No doubt the amazing road there has been paid for by China.

^ actually that's a so called 'Border Run', not a Visa Run.

Come on Thailand and Burma, get one open within a few hours of BKK. Around southern Kanchanaburi would be great.

Get some British Rail execs over. Must be leaves on the tracks.

It is a pity that this man was given bail and allowed the opportunity to commit suicide.

Yes, he could never have committed suicide if he was remanded.

Will they be seriously dealing with complaints of double-pricing? Which I believe is illegal.

They'll definitely have a winner if at that price.

Say goodbye to the 2nd hand value of any CBR500's, and even the Ninja 650's.

If the palm of the hand faces the signer (i.e., the back of the hand faces the observer), the sign signifies: An insult. This usage is restricted largely to Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

The root of which is based in the Anglo-Franco wars. The French would cut the two fingers off the captured archers.

This resulted in the English giving the French the 'two fingers' up yours salute to tease that they still had them.

He went to the U.K. He was misappropriating client funds.

Of course that's barely over 150kph in actual speed.

Which is fine. Nothing wrong with that.

The stories I could tell regarding another "prestigious" Thai Developer called Pace Development. These developers go out of their way to hire the worst contractors and then feign ignorance and shock when confronted with the shoddy realities of their choices. The quality control function at these companies are comical and downright worthless!

There's a gruesome thread on another Thai forum about a 4.2m baht house being built. Foundations and base included paper bags and plastic in the cement (a different type of cement to that promised in the contract).

1m baht paid and wasted as the initial foundation and pillars built would not have been safe to use.

Live and learn in Thailand.

Forget the name of the developer, but it's on another Thai forum that is more centered on the building trade (or was, at least).

Why aren't all the walls made of foam and why are Sansiri apologizing and blacklisting the contractor if it's all the norm and makes no difference?

So what exact charges are left after the initial stages of watering down?

Showed this to a Thai and they said 'Som Nam Na'.

In fairness though that Thai isn't shy about voicing their bitterness and hate of farangs.

I understand street vendors have to make a living. But couldn't the BMA regulate this and maybe allow street vendors just on 1 side?

What, and cut their own income stream in half?

In many parts of Bangkok, the foot path is 2-3 meters wide but with street vendors on both sides (sometimes selling sex toys),

Sex Toys?

Outrageous. What happened to the Child Porn that was reportedly available along the Sukhumvit sidewalk 6 months ago.

Thailand = Fawlty Towers.

In parallel with raising the public awareness of ASEAN understanding, Mr. Jaturon promised that the Education Ministry would develop competent personnel. He also expressed his optimism that, with all the proposed campaigns being implemented, Thailand would become ASEAN's education hub.

These people really have no clue at all, have they.

They did clear vendors from the bus stop, across from Paragon, for some time. Hopefully, it's still in force and will be expanded. It really helped.

Beautiful.

Taking away the vendors really let's you see the natural urban beauty of Thailand.

At least there isn't a middle-aged Thai woman trying to look like minnie mouse to impress her elderly farang in view.

Child prostitutes and Sunee Plaza again, huh,.

Khun Sunee (a rich, connected Thai woman) must be so proud. So proud she even has her name on her business.

Wait til he finds out the 'wall' under the window is actually made out of M150 bottles and menthol nasal sticks.
