"Speak English you dumba*s!"  I'm sure that will go over well. 

Well if the waiter doesn't speak the international language how would they understand  me asking them to speak English..and if I called them a dumda*s ( which I wouldn't because I'm not such a dumba*s ) and they kicked my dumba*s would that mean they do in fact speak the international language ?

This morning on 7HD news they reported that so far country wide 2560 vehicles have been checked for emissions

and  a massive 29 vehicles where found with 45% or more "bad smoke" 

which where then spray painted to stop them being used !

another whopping 127 vehicles had "bad smoke"  in the 30-45% range and these where given a notice to get the engines fixed.

Is there any wonder that the air quality is so bad with this sort of pathetic "crackdown"   not to mention the burning fields,forests and rubbish. ☹️

The event was postponed,

No surprise as its still not legal in Thailand, better to find a ( forward thinking ) country to hold the festival instead.

U-Tapao airport, what's the difference betwen this and the rest?

U-Tapao is deemed as the Pattaya airport..its owned by the military same as the rest.

They should focus on getting a reliable power supply  to most of the country first..no use having a "smart city" with  constant blackout and brownouts  absolutely  no good for IT  equipment.

from @Vietem   in the where my bike's been thread

Maprachan reservoir the main water supply for Pattaya.
