You mean overstayers - those aged criminal ex pat masterminds who are a danger to everybody due to their blatant disregard for the law?

Nice to see a Brit in the headlines for the right reasons!

The "arsenal of measures seems to have left one guy in particular quite overwhelmed!:-

"They appeared unaware of being recorded by the outraged voyeur." vo·yeur a person who gains sexual pleasure from watching others when they are naked or engaged in sexual activity. Was he outraged because part of their antics were hidden from his sight by the piles of white beach chairs?

................“Are you local? Are you Thai? You know, I am not paying a million baht a month to rent this villa for you to sit, OK?”....................... "Do you know who I am?" Pompous p**t!

Not at all - that's another place I wouldn't want to return to! I think that what happened there was inhuman, and the way that it was dealt with was despicable - from "No Thai could have done this" to the incarceration of the 2 Burmese boys.

Well, at least you got an emoticon - "Confused"! I must admit - me too!😕

Which was:- "The incident time and reporting time are different."

"neither of which you have demonstrated." In your opinion! And to repeat myself as you obviously didn't get it first, or indeed second time round, so I won't be doing it again - I did not say that Pattaya was responsible for 95% of the crime committed in Thailand, but you seem to be obsessed with trying to say that I did, in the same way that you claim that I was disparaging Pattaya. My comment re the motor bike taxi driver was meant to be humorous, and obviously at least 3 people thought that it was (going by the emoticons) and nobody except you took offence. And going by the lack of interest shown in your diatribes, it would appear that comparing me to "Donald Trump staffers" is neither true or appropriate to this thread - what did I say again? :- " ......it would "seem that" 95% of the crime in Thailand is committed in Pattaya" - I didn't say that it was!" So I think that "Fail" should apply to yourself in the misinterpretation of what people say - don't read between the lines too much - read what is written and comment on that by all means, and you might even get a 👍!!!

Probably going to be a lot less with this news!

You don't do irony or humour, do you? And from memory, I think I said that due to the daily postings on AN, it would"seem that" 95% of the crime in Thailand is committed in Pattaya - I didn't say that it was!

Ahem! It's not "eluding" it's "alluding" ( e·lude evade or escape from (a danger, enemy, or pursuer), typically in a skillful or cunning way. "he managed to elude his pursuers by escaping into an alley" And how do you know what someone else is "alluding to" anyway? Bit of a mind reader?

***WARNING*** This product can make you drunk!!!

No it didn't... if you care to scroll back to the post itself, "at 4.26 a.m" was part of the OP by Webfact, and Flying Tiger was merely commenting that" Nothing ever good happens in the wee hours of morning...." He didn't mention any specific time!

Well they would be wouldn't they? Doh! She was walking at 0.45 a.m. when she got on the motor bike taxi. It wasn't stated what time the incident happened, only that by the time she got to the police station to report it it was 4.26 a.m.

Makes a change for something of this nature to not happen in Pattaya? Maybe the motor bike taxi driver just moved to Phuket?

Also the label says "Imported" which may be a bit of a giveaway, but imported from where? If it is from France it does seem cheap! I* seem to remember paying about 1700 baht for a full bottle of Kahlua a while ago!

Sounds about right! 🙂

Depends on how much it comes down surely? But I would hazard a bet, as you say, that the price will be more than it was "a few weeks ago" in spite of the tax cuts.

"Seems like I always want to buy wine during those hours and a bloody nuisance cannot." WELL SAID!!!

Since when are importers affected by " the adjustment of excise taxes and duties structures on local liquor ?

Always! (During the daytime!)

Must be quite hefty as they were talking about Import Duties and Taxes being reduced by 50% a couple of months ago, (and a couple of years ago, and......):- "Sep 21, 2564 BE — A news report by the Bangkok Post said the Customs Department is looking to cut tariffs on imported alcoholic beverages by 50% over a five year ..." However,further down the article:-" though nothing is yet official with the move, the news report mentioned."

Spelling mistakes? - "alledged"? ("alleged" surely! 😀)

On February 23rd, 2024, Mr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas, the Director General of the Excise Department, publicly announced the adjustment of excise taxes and duties structures on local liquor ................." Nothing mentioned about imported wines and spirits - see my post above the previous one for those! And as if to clarify the point that imports were not included:- "However, Mr. Thanakorn Kuptajitti, the adviser to the Thai Alcohol Beverage Business Association, stated that the new tax reduction would only benefit a certain group of people."
