poor girl.

Yeah I once bought a first aid kit in Thailand.  This inhaler was the only item in the kit.

Yes. A very old  people  mover . He packs in about 15  small children.

The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”

Shame on the drivers for this selfish act and the government for not seriously enforcing this long time implemented policy.  These vans should be off the road already.

Tourists generate billions of baht, if the Thais weren't so greedy part of those billions should go to keeping those beaches in pristine condition. Who do you see collecting rubbish on the beaches? Westerners (Tourists). Thais should get their own house in order before blaming others.

 

Five foreign tourists have spent their holidays collecting rubbish along Laem Pong Beach in Krabi

 

 

Why do they do this?  I don't understand.  Sure traveling to a country that needs some sort of humanitarian help and donating your time is noble.  But I don't think traveling to Thailand and collecting garbage that it's own countrymen ignore is at all noble. Is this another consequence of the 'rose tinted glasses' phenomenon that is also responsible for separating many a retiree from their lives savings?

Promotion for breast feeding? Hardly offensive.

Perhaps a disguised vegan protest.  Something like this a little more direct. ????

For sure huge problem - LOL 1% of all crimes committed by South Sudanese gangs, who also comprise NZ nationals and Pacific islanders. BTW now slowing down as offenders across all non Australian citizens being deported.

 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-05/fact-check-sudanese-gangs-victoria/10187550

people born in Sudan and South Sudan, who make up just 0.14 per cent of Victoria's population being responsible for 1% of the crime in the area. Enough with all the PC crap.  Send Big joke to Oz,  I hear he is available.

My pet hate is what I like to call Somchai cruise control.  You know the repetitive accelerate,  release,  accelerate, release method used to maintain speed by drivers on long distance trip.  Their reasoning,  it saves fuel,  because not always pressing the accelerator. ????

Do those amulets come with a car charger as standard, or are they only AA batteries?

There is a new app that they can monitor in real time on their smartphone which measures current karma.

while some have also had their vehicle-tax renewal rights suspended due to the offence, Soros said. 

  

So the tax renewal suspension does actually seem to be having an impact.  Prior the Somchais get speeding ticket,  then bin speeding ticket.  No problem.  It will be interesting if they actually do get the demerit points system working too.  Then you finally will be out of business.

But will come soon.

Australia has the Sheriff's office set up with number plate identification cameras. 

They pull you and you pay every dollar you owe for any outstanding infringements or you park the car and walk.

 

Everything is going on the big database.

Centre link and pensions are already linked to the passport. 

Mine has to be manually scanned in and out of Australia every time.

And as soon as it is, the pension goes to 100% again. 

 

Big Brother is not silly...

Yes it is truly incredible.  The sheriff vehicles now have two cameras mounted on the top pointing to the left and to the right.  They cruise the streets and scan number plates of vehicles parked in the driveway and the system then identifies those with unpaid fines or warrants etc.  Wheels are then clamped in your driveway. But even that won't stop some people.

Bangkok 112 visited Chiang Mai in 2017.  He said to start your evening early, around 6pm, because most Chiang Mai bars close at midnight.

 

 

Complains about the toilet, but didn't even wash his hands..

The name is written as 'Sondy' NOT  'Sandy'

 

The writer gets all the 'a's correct with a little tail.

 

So it is either a Geman who likes Sundays or a Thai with a g/f called Sondy !

Further forensic investigation reveals it is closer to Sonoly or translated to Thai as sonohleee. Agreed this might be the name of the girl friend. ????

The 3rd world neighbors are not that much cheaper.

Justifying cheaper beer as a reason to go is one of the most immature responses I can think of. But seriously, seems people are willing to move their whole life for it.

 

If it that important to save a hundred bucks or so each month to downgrade to 3rd world life it certainly says a lot about ones competence, confidence and self respect. Glad it is not a place I want or need to go.

I have only seen graffiti on things where the tourists target,  for their so called art. It really is not

that popular. So I agree that it was likely a simple thinking Farang.

Unfortunately!

Well people from China are the number one tourists, so it would make sense for them to start with China.

Yep the Chinese looking to visit countries less polluted than their own.  Thailand is slightly not as bad as China.  But it soon will be

No matter if foreigner or not it’s ridiculous to damage something 

for no reason.

 

Wife’s nephew about 9 years old 1/2 spray painted her Exhaust white ..... nothing done about it.

 

Told the wife tell him if he does that to my moto I will won’t go easy....

 

Confused.. Will or won't? ????

It was Somchai.  He got a couple of letters wrong but Mai bpen rai.

These kinds of reports rarely if ever seen to address the important issue of whether an expat can actually legally continue to reside in these countries... visa obtainability and sustainability, and at what price. As opposed to come and go tourists.

 

The fact I can get a $500 a year health club membership doesn't mean much if Thai Immigration keeps changing the rules and ends up making it impossible for many current expats to live here, or if not impossible, makes continual rule tinkering so burdensome and intrusive as to not be worth it anymore.

 

$500 would get you lifetime membership at Tony's when promotion is running. ????
