it's just crazy that anybody can take customers like the minivan drivers the taxi drivers the tuk-tuk drivers the bus drivers and take the responsability of the life of their customers witout a special driving licence , a real driving licence ( i mean not the big joke driving test in 2 days ) , one or 2 weeks tests and learn to get a defensive driving and not the agressive driving like all the thai-drivers, a real medical test every 6 months . the same for the truck drivers . and a real police repression fro the safety and not for the tea money . if a truck , taxi , minivan , tuk-tuk driver don't respect the road laws , police have to stop him and call the compagny to send another driver , other way the vehicule stay there . since the police don't make his work , nothing will change . when a thai is driving , he forget all the rules , forget to respect tohe others and begin very agressive . the only way to change that is to hurt them , and when you want to hurt a thai you take his money and you make him lose the face .

why don't they start to control the noise of the old truck , bus , pick-up , music on the pick-up , tuk-tuk ? i live at 5 km of the higway to pranburi and i hear the noise of those stupid old truck , when they passe for 2 or 3 minutes . the shit dogs who make noise day and night . but you never see any policeman for those problems , even when you call them .

it happend so many times in thailand , but i never see policeman intervene .

quite every day have accident with bus , minivan with injured and die peoples . but never the fault of the drivers . and everybody find that normal . but when a video is post on internet where you can see 2 super sport cars friving quick ( but take the toll higway late in the night to be sure that it ll be quite no cars ) peoples post very agressive comments and said that the drivers must go to jail with the confiscation of the cars ( but they injured or kill nobody ) . funny to see so many redresser of wrong , who never do something wrong of course and always respect the laws at 100% ....

oh , crazy , not a suport sport car ...............

normal , a farang is nothing here , even a chicken is beter for them . and of course the police show them the good way .

you speak about things you don't know as many thai-peoples who think that all the farangs are rich . i'm not rich and i know a lot of farangs who are not rich . many peoples in europe are working and don't have with their salary to finish the month . but in europe , most of the people make a budget and respect it and make plan for long term . but you canot understand that here - budget , plan for the future . it's right that you need time but i think that hundred years would not be enough . you like the money to much , it's your only wish . all the rest is not important , and the way to get the money is not important for you .

anyway i think it's uselees to try to explain them the less respectual way for human rights, the preservation of the nature, the ecology,and and.... you speak to a wall . you know nothing cause you are not thai , so you are just stupid . it's well know in the hole world that thai are so superior in everythink and so respectfull for all the culture . when i read the comments of micmichd i understand that we just lose time . that's the real face of the land of smile - just laught in the face of the foreign .

micmichd - why don't you call PM M Prayut to propose your service like consultant ? for sûre he ll listen to you attentively . explain you view about the fishing problem , and about the européan mans who abuse the thai-woman and use them as slave . you have a great future in the polic in thailand . i wish you good luck .

micmichd - thailand don't wait for the farang came in thailand for the prostitution , they use it for hundreds years already before the first farang came in thailand , second if you look at the statistics , more then 80% of the prostitution in thailand is use by thai-people .

nothing will change untill thailand is not blacklisted like the international community has do for Iran . on the black list for 10 years to give them enough time for remove all this shit

just have a blame , for joking . why should they stop their shit if they get just a blame ???? if the governement realy want to stop the corruption , they have to receive much more then a blame , but do they really want ???

and this man is politician , oaw . i hope that the world will see how thailand work , i hope journalist will show the real face of thailand to the rest of the world and see how thailand is selfish unrespectable xenophobe racist with not one once of education . they don't like to lose the face , it's time for thailand to get a good strong slap in the face . after what this man say, he's the high responsable of the fishing industry in thailand , after critiseize EU and USA , EU and USA will give a immediatly red card on all the importations coming from thailand , IMMEDIATLY . forget about 6 months . it seems that not any intentions to resolve the problems . let them try to sale their dirty products to africa . inform your populations about the real face of thailand , let see the world about " thainess " . they don't want to change cause they think that thailand is number one in the world , best culture , best food , best education , best everything . close the customs of EU and USA like they do for all the goods coming from outside . he speak about protectionism , big joke from a polician of a country who make outrageous protectionism . put their face in their own shit to make them understand ( even do tthis will not make them understand ) . let them play with china , for a couple od decenies , after what they will understand when they ll lose everythink , thailand will be a distric of china .

good idea but will change nothing here in thailand . after the writing test , they need to make a test of driving on the roads ( and not just a park test inside a parking ) of 1 hour ( i think they come back in the parking after 5 minutes ) , give a salary of 30.000bath for the examinators to try to stop the corruption , control the examinators , teach the police the rules of driving code ( cause they don't know the rules ) , apply the rules on the roads by the police like stop burn the red lights don't make turn when it's signaled no Uturn stay on your lane and not use 2 lanes use the slow lane ( the left lane ) if this one isyou make free look in the mirrors ( not decoration ) stop to cut the paintings lines in the curves look before engage on a road or cross a road and not after understand that when you change lane or cross a road you have to take for the driver of the other lane cause you make a movement so you're wrong in case of accident when you make a movement go quick ( and not very slowly like they do ) drive in right way be fairplay on the roads and especialy in high traffic don't block the drivers who wants to turn to the right in the high traffic ( they like to stay on the dumper of the car before them in the files and don't let holes for the cars of motorbikes who have to turn to the right ) give room for the ambulance the fireman and the police when you hear the warning horn to let them go for help the people , stop to react like big selfish . but i think it ll take 100 years in thailand untill the police don't do the work for what she's pay , and enforce the fine ( 400 bath for burn a red light per ex is a big joke ) , when they ll touch the only thing the thai love , the money , things will change

after being told that police were coming , funny no ? look like somebady warning the people trafficking that the police will come .

no chance for the owner of the small bakery , but as said he copy the receipt form a japan bakery , like many articles you can buy in thailand , land of copy , so the big copy the copy of the small . anyway , what about this law in thailand who say that you canot have exclusivity ??? still applicate or not ? what about the fact that the thai are loocking at your business and if they see that it work good , one month after you have a lot of them who make the same as you in the same street and near you as possible ? even if you try to expain them that if you have one cake enough for one and you cut the same in 10 parts , it ll be not enough for 10 people , but no way ,you speak to a wall . it's crazy but it's like this in thailand , no protection , so when they can take benefit they agree and when they lose they are not agree . business have 2 way , you canot win all the time . since now , with the politic of protectionism of the thai governements , they are under protection with their production , but if it stop and all the export goods stop to be under important income taxes , what will happend for their industries and compagnies ? this sis the problem of thaland - i can do but the others canot .

bah , tomorrow the drver of the pick-up go out . and will drive again . not his fault , the fault of the raining . mei pen rai

life don't have many value here in thailand . a lot of thai think like him . not same when a farang hurt or hit a thai . 2 laws

sorry for the family of the cyclists

the difference between europe usa and thailand is that the staff in europe and usa is working during the working hours don't play with their phone or internet or joke with the other staff all day they have a good output they don't eat all day but just at midday they can answer and take care when a customer have problem or need some help . it's for sure not the case here in thailand , the staff is uncompetant no have output and play all day ( mobile internet and joke with the others ) , proof is that there quite 10 times more staff here then in europe . so , for me , 300 bath or max 400 bath a day is more then enough salary for them , don't forget that they don't pay any taxes or insurance like in europe so the salary is netto . in europe , the workers are paying something like 35% taxes and 28% for the social taxe , and pay a few other taxes ( for clean the water , for the take the waste , taxe on house , taxes on the plastic bottles , on the shave knifes , on the soda , and so many others ) , the vat is min 21% ( and not 7% like here ) , and i don't speak about the price of electricity ( between6 and 10 time more expensive ) , the price of the water ( 150bath for 1000ltrs ) , people have to heat their house in the winter ( not here ) . with a salary of 1300euros , when you take out all the taxes , pay electricity water oil insurances , how much stay ? and they can do it cause they can make a budget , and look for a long term . not the thai people , when they want something they buy it , and not think about the future . life is for sure 4 time less expensive here then in europe , so a salary of 400bath a day is more then enough . do they need the last Iphone 6 or the last Ipad ??? or the new car ??? for what ??? even if they get 1000bath salary per day , everythink will be spend the 15 of the month .

don't spend what you don't have . spare money first and then buy . look the priorities too , get the last Iphone or the last Ipad is not a priority , think a bit for your future and spare money for the bad days . don't be scare to loose the face if you don't have the last of the last , it's not important . make plans before asking credits , to be sure you can pay for your credits , and take a look if you really need to buy maybe something you don't really need . think that you can loose your job , be sick , have accident , make plan for more then 2 days but for 5 years .

no plan for the future , live day per day . but need to have the last Iphone , the last Ipad , the nice car , gold , show the others all what they have . and spend all the time on the phone or internet . after that , they don't understand how to pay everything , all the credits . they don't need all of that . a salairy of 20.000bath is egal of a salairy of 2000euros for the européan workers , most of the workers in europe don't have more then 1300 euros per month and have to do with that , with much more qualifications , more professionalism and much more perfomance . personaly , i work for myself for quite 40 years in the construction , i never have more then 1700euros salary per month with more then 60 work per week not include the office work after my hours and all the risk with it ( bill not paid by customers , garanties , and and .... ) .

right , i understand that the thai workers can be stressed . when i see the staff playing on their phone , on internet in the offices , joke together , speak together and don't look to the customers who need some help , their less professionalism , their less competance , i understand their stress as they know that ASEAN will be open soon .

i would like to know when they ll make test sea water near the beaches like we do everywhere in the world . i think nobody will go swimming after the results . the beaches are real dumping ground and the sea a dangerous coktail of bacterials , fecal matter , oil , glass and plastic bottles .

everything must be right , everything , in 6 months other way they ll get a red card from EU , no need to loose time and money to go speak to EU and cry like childrens who does wrong but promiss that they ll not do it again . and impose quotas and reals controls . time for thailand to understand that they are for sure not number one in the world exept for the corruption , the racism and xenophobie .time for them to accept that they have a lot learn from the farangs of all countries and that they have to respect the rules of international trade , the internationals laws , the tourists , the expats who live in thailand and stop to take them just like a wallet , give the expats some rights like in europe for the thai expats ( and all the expats ) . and about the copyright of brands , it's so funny to hear that form the number one copy country of the world . is he blind for not see that the markets and shops in thailand are full of copies ?

but thai are still in the medevial time , you just understand now ? it's not because they have cars motorbike electricity and stupid soap at television that something change since 500 years ago .
