I will bet no street Vendors anywhere will ever pay tax - nobody keeps records they will divulge to the Tax office. Any customer ever got a receipt for anything?? Same goes for most businesses in the markets - very little accountability - and not just in Bangkok! The only accounting going on is counting the takings! The Tax department need some sort of accounts to show outgoings and income! Street food can be encouraged with proper management by the Authorities to ensure quality hygiene practices, enforced by regular inspections. Will corruption hamper theses ideals? Sorry to say, I think so! I think many street vendors make a pile and have got away with little overheads that restaurants have for example! About time time they were reined in and started paying their dues. By the way, I like Street food!

Yes, but some cricket matches last for 5 days!!

I understand the concept of learning. Sometimes we can learn from other people but obviously not from you!

Probably the "BS" in your ID

Quite right!! I wonder how these people would react when something was actually important enough! I have my moments of mild irritations every day, they go away and I forget all about it - no fuss, no bother and no need for whinging on this forum!

Would have been easier to tell him! Tell me as well, I don't know it. I have seen c/f which is "carried forward"

Nothing wrong with what they doing - it only takes a few seconds and the practice applies to all. In fact I have read somewhere that they are checking that products in the trolley equate with the bill, not to check for customer thieves, but that the Cashier hasn't missed an item with the bar coder,which means this is not a trust factor at all!

Any evidence for all this trash talk?

Trump will have no say in the matter after 5 November And with any luck he will be shouting from his prison cell!

About helmets: Just saving them from dying today rather than next week! About speeding - not much respect for that! So while not especially bad, (as in wanting to be friendly) in my opinion, not good: slow down for a bit, then carry on speeding - absolutely fine!

But "Somebody" thinks otherwise??? Evidence perhaps?

That's easy, no real scientific evidence. Of all the billions of people and other living creatures that have died, they have stayed dead and didn't turn into anything else!

Ha! Ha! So it's goodbye from me and it's goodbye from him!

Another bigoted Trumper, that would be best if they just kept quiet What you know about me and 2 cents wouldn't get you a haircut!

It is all absolutely awful! And hopelessly expensive! Have you looked on the package to see how much actual coffee you get?

In any event, you obviously don't notice that most things that come out of Pattaya are bad. And from your quote below about Pattaya having some semblance of merit, it suggests the need for you to get out more - even if you are a boring 'young' fogey!

Why do the Pattaya Authorities icontinue to insist on protecting its bad image?

Your ID "Even Keel" is suggestive of you having a balanced view of the world. The stuff you write on here is equally suggestive of the opposite, So staying on the maritime theme, I think you should change your name to, "Three Sheets to the Wind". That would be more appropriate!

Answering the question: Would make no difference either way. The same nonsense and dangerous stuff emanating from his mouth hole for many years already.

This is not an honest question at all, is it, riddled as it is with your own personal Trump-based "rhetoric" designed only to provoke Forum Members into another completely unnecessary slanging match. For your information, Trump isn't a threat to democracy, he is a serious danger. Only half-wits who have watched and listened for months now would believe otherwise. As it relates to your "loaded" question, there are no negatives about threats to democracy from the Democrats.

A bit like flat earthers, homeopathy, ghosts, creationists, moon landing deniers. My position remains valid. Believing anything with no evidence is a bit silly. And by the way, I think you will find that the Egyptians built the Pyramids in Egypt and there is no such thing as divine creation. Go to many proper archaeology sites to discover a lot about Stonehenge. And one more thing: a UFO is simply an unidentified flying object - it never means its from outer space.

Sad emojis because no "stupid" ones

Of course she was. This is not worthy of headline news. Netizens "outraged" again. Just fine her B500 and, "don't do it again, or you will be in trouble"

I am glad I am not wealthy! Why? I don't need to be!

"Not unusual" means USUAL - that also means common!! So what do you really mean?
