  1. Which of the three pictures is the final product.
  2. They will never be able to stop this unless they have a place for them to go, and even then there’s nothing stopping them to do it again. Like a poster said if they fine them and just let them stay nothing will be accomplished. Every big festival or event they set up spaces along the beach next to the sidewalk. Why can’t they just allow them to do it every day. At least they are off the streets and can still make a living. Simple solutions are not used in Thailand unfortunately.
  3. They are just too greedy. They increase the prices for a rooms by at least 1,000 baht, usually much more during high season and any holidays, but don’t want to pay the staff 50 baht more a day? The costs go up, the rooms go up and the living expenses go up so should the workers pay. Unfortunately the ones who are not doing their jobs well may be let go, but the ones who put in the most effort should at least have a livable wage.
  4. Why they don’t spend the money on a beach sweepers to clean the whole beach early every morning is beyond comprehension. Once a month just doesn’t cut it.
  5. I suggest they take a look at all of their equipment and make sure that it’s all up to par, especially with all that is going on with Cambodia. Maintenance is crucial and we know how well they do that.
  6. And they continue to push for more Chinese to come. When will they learn?
  7. Thais sure do love to gossip so it's going to be hard to stop them sharing what they heard.
  8. They need to get rid of these inactive posts and just fire them when they f up. Way too many people are using this as a scapegoat.
  9. I think that anyone that has been drinking and driving and in an accident definitely needs to have their car or motorbike taken away. The others impounded and fined the first time and fined and vehicle taken away the 2nd time. Unfortunately they don’t patrol the roads for drunk drivers. We shall wait and see.
  10. Amazon ships to Thailand. Just have to switch countries and your friends address
  11. Arrest them, jail them and deport them.
  12. I’m glad that they are finally doing this, but it should probably from 12 upwards. Anyway I taught my son when he was 10 and kept reinforcing it till he went to University. His Thai mother wouldn’t speak about it at all. I got a banana out and showed him how to use a condom. I wish the Thais, not all, would teach their children, but it seems difficult for them and taboo. I am very open with my boy and took him to Queen SiriKit hospital which had a big board showing pictures of all the std’s and what they do. The last photo was of an hand with smiles on each finger 😉. When he did finally get a girlfriend past a couple weeks he was proud to tell me he used a condom. 👏
  13. Watch out what you wish for. By getting more Chinese tourists you'll definitely get more problems. Sad but true, just ask Thailand. Unfortunately they are still trying to get them back which will let the mayhem continue.
  14. I don’t find it hard to believe that they didn’t have it properly reinforced and safe. Just the way things go here. If nothing happens they are good, but like this case when something goes terribly wrong they will then take a look at the work. RIP
  15. Hope the Foreigners hating nut job gets a no notice push out.
  16. What do people think is going to happen when you keep encroaching upon their habitat? They are losing their land and resources so this will continue until they can find a way to appease both sides. Not just the farmers taking the land.
  17. I think the aqua color or light blue tiles look great. But keep it light which ever one you choose.
  18. Take a look Thailand. This is how you grow your country, not by making it so difficult that people just don’t want to go through it. Also they should treat the retirees and workers better and make life a bit easier for them. But they think they know it all so down, down, down they will go.
  19. The fine is way too low. That wouldn’t stop many, however if they add mandatory jail time as well it may stop idiots from doing this. Also deport his butt so maybe others will think twice about doing this.
  20. I guess they are trying anything to make them more money and of course give the Thais an extended vacation at home. Well at least for the first few days. Covid is nothing more than a strain of flu and not a very serious one. I wish they would get off of this, but it is a money maker and time off from work. I will not wear a mask and will definitely not be taking any meds, except for the basics. My immune system can handle this, unfortunately many people who always get a shot or a tablet every time they think they have a cold will not have much of an immune system anymore.
  21. The Baht is just too strong. If they want more income from tourists and retirees here then get the baht to a reasonable level. I want to purchase a car, but not about to send money over at the current rate. They need to use their heads and some common sense.
  22. Puberty may have sent him over the edge along with everything else. You never know. Very sad for the boy and his parents. RIP
