PETERTHEEATER

Tourist attraction to many. Vermin if you are resident.

Be fair. Thai Hom Mali is not crap. However, there are now foreign varieties which are judged superior when compared

One-eyed trouser snakes are not a protected species.

Like you, I have no idea.....

That, despite having a skull 1.1 metres long, it's brain was the size of a golf ball. 😀

The porters who used to carry old people up the hill have retired because they are too old to walk up the hill. 😀 My last visit long ago, porters carried tourists camping gear up the hill for overnight stay at the top, camping. All to see a sea of mist at dawn. How on earth they expect to generate at income of '70 billion Thai Baht' per annum from cable car traffic escapes me.

Yet still they complain about the high pregnancy rate among unmarried teenage girls.

Perhaps he will 'drop' the name of a certain Minister who has experience in Australian/Thai affairs.

Luckily the slingshot was not loaded and did not count as a weapon. 😋

The trailer driver had the presence of mind to take ten wheels with them.

Maybe El Nino arrived.

Mid-morning Wednesday 06 December 2023 and no further news reports in local press or TV eleborating on this incident. If I was a cynic I might think reports are being suppressed to avoid possible impact on tourist numbers. 🙄

Terrible if some were snorers but at least there was no sex involved....😋

With several firework displays being in the news I am reminded of the adage 'What goes up must come down'. Where does the debris fall and how much is there?

That could be the next TAT initiative. Handing out rose tinted glasses to tourists on arrival.

It's difficult to see the colours when driving at 'normal speed'......😋

The important thing to note here is that the incident has enabled a committee to be formed to determine if and offence has been committed.

Thanks digger70 for your 'green' explanation. Applying it to many Thai growers requires a re-education programme yet the gobernment has chosen to bribe them with taxpayer's money.

Thanks Ed, different growers face different problems. Time will tell if the current strategy to pay subsidies translates into lower pollution.

He 'glanced' at his phone......🙄

Ah...the drama of it all.....

Thai Daimaru Tokyo must have a sale on fluorescent socks.

8 billion would buy a lot of cane cutting machines and maintenance support to assign to the growing areas for common use. As to 'burning', I think human cutters will only cut fields where the standing cane has been flash burned to remove the sharp leaves. Machines will cut as is but what is cut will be heavier and larger in volume due to the redundant foiliage. Paying the grower by weight is a loser for the miller? Then there remains the stubble which, presumably, the grower burns again before ploughing in. Is that the process?

The same as they know the perp locked the house from the INSIDE then locked the front gate from the OUTSIDE.....😀

My local authority in the UK run hybrid diesel/electric buses but only within about a 5 mile radius of the city centre. Services to outlying areas and connected towns are all diesel since these are the most practicable and cost effective. For Bangkok, jumping direct from ICE to EV without essential charging infrastructure is fraught with potential problems. I wish the Minister luck. I can't see AOT EV limos proving services at distances beyond the city limits and the charges will undoubtedly increase.
