    Not Thailand i know, but throughout the middle east they are the vehicle of choice. Cheap, reliable, fixable anywhere. 

     

    I like them. 

     

    The gun mounts are optional.

    And in the hands of ISIS (and others) probably only lasted a few weeks.

     

    Gotta give it to Toyota - they know how to market to buyers that are going to provide regular re-orders! Toyota are up there with the armaments manufacturers. ????

    that he would take action on the big construction projects that blocked the city's water drainage.

     

    Governor: Take action (instant dismissal) against the incompetent official/s, in your Administration, who lost the key/s! That would be a start.  :post-4641-1156693976:  

     

    And don't minimise Administration incompetency by looking to blame others for other possible incidences. MAN UP!

    Happens at every land border crossing too, and has done for years !!

    When I first entered Thailand 10 years ago it was on a multi entry one year visa, obtained in my home country.

    Once in Thailand I had to do a border run every 90 days to get my immigration stamp.

    This was done via the crossing point at Aranyaprathet into Cambodia..

    The fee for the Cambodian entry visa was 1,000 baht paid for at the office with the visa stuck into your passport, all with the assistance of a "middle man/helper" which was mandatory !!

    As soon as you crossed the border gate into Cambodia you were met by a Thai immigration officer who took your passport and asked for 300 baht from everyone.

    You then crossed the road and joined the queue to come back into Thailand and the immigration office to get your entry stamp !!

    My only surprise is that in 10 years the price hasn't increased !!!!

    So the question is, is BJ going to put a stop to this at every entry location or is it going to be just the high profile airports ??

     

    "...high profile airports" - I would suspect. After corruption, the 2nd most important practice, in the Kingdom, is saving face. :thumbsup:

    Seriously, they want to convince the new arrivals that they will be safe. Will take more than the presence of a few grinning numpties in uniform,  some real Lifeguards at Phuket beaches might be a good start. 

    Employed, properly trained, (suggest by Australian Lifeguards) supervised, responsible only to and well remunerated by the local authority NOT some third party just trying to make a few extra baht!

    Yes we use 3 filters and a UV-light but BKK water is already cleaner than upcountry where there's loads of calcium in it.

     

    Good, but it is not only about how good the water maybe usually but what you will be drinking if something goes wrong with the water supply and its treatment. Human failings comes to mind. Better to have a great filter system and not need it than to not have one and need it! :thumbsup:

     

    You have an R.O. system?
