Had the pleasure of enjoying his product (yea, been here for awhile). He was a character for all his foibles. May he have a painless & peaceful end. The end of an era

Beer & (or) Lao Khao, that's the go

Plenty rain up here

Before he even thinks about opening up "new areas" to tourism they need to spend some of the ill gotten gains on R&M, water resource development etc on the existing places that are over utilized

This has been going on for years. Many farang have purchased their "home" by forming a company with Thais as 51% nominees only.

We will never hear anything more !!!!

All the street vendors will be knocking the tax departments doors down tomorrow. Only when Thailand becomes a "cashless society, " will the taxman be able to get his pound of flesh which will be 50 years from now at least

So, no sign of them managing to catch any "big fish" as usual. Over 1,000KG of heroin, that is significant

Just talking about maintenance. Having 2 pumps working 24/7 is a simple task, maybe the pumps have been sold

But can they be trusted ????

I certainly hope that he is still alive & well

SShhhhh,,,,everybody will want their free protien

This is a peanut collection for the Government but it was only a matter of time & rightfully so in many instances. Can't blame a local Thai manufacturer/retailer getting their nose outa joint when the playing field is not level. For ease of collection maybe items under 100Bht should be exempt

Thai Government should give him a job training the locals how to do it

Why would the police get the "foundation vehicles" involved. That on the surface looks like another recipe for disaster

Little round seeds, bit smaller than tapioca, I never ate but bought, soaked & sprouted for my small parrots, they used to go mad over them

Everytime I inquire they tell me "no need, no use"

Must have been a bit lucky, nothing beats a nice clean muff sandwich

You have to be cheeky though to even contemplate action like this

In this case I do not think it was a lot of money. More helping as an undercover hired hand in many situations for the BIB I would say

In this part of the world this next 3 months is very bad for turbulence with the warm air rising off the land mass & meeting the cold air. Even flying Bangkok to Singapore twice a month as I used to do have experienced some horrific CAT even on this short run.

Obviously he is the last to know that the crystal ball is very tarnished & the wand is broken. The level of corruption, the lack of real infrastructure like sewerage treatment, a lazy police force that no Government is even prepared to tackle, sufficient potable water storage to name but a few all had to come together sooner or later to restrict the development & expansion of the tourism sector. A halfwit could have seen this 20 years ago, that you cannot just keep taking & not giving

Cart before the horse AGAIN & STILL

Have a look at his wealth,,,,,,,,,you cannot make that kind of money as a public servant. Says it all

Not much choice to Perth. Malaysian, Singapore or Thai of course being the only direct flight. Brunei air is an option overnighting though. I enjoy spending a few hours in Changi so via Singapore not a bad way to go. Can Jetstar get you there ?
