Thé only system to alleviate traffic in Pattaya would be to ban all parking on 2nd road and beach rd and create a two way system . Allowing only a bus service along this route. Yes, need a taxi stop system too. All pedestrian towns everywhere have this. Properly implemented it could work well with the full cooperation of police and heavy fines of course. Now you can all laugh !!!

I’ll never forget on Thepprasit rd , opposite where the bus stops for market. They are shop houses, one had about 5/6 dogs in cages just inside. These weren’t tiny dogs, medium,sized. I always looked when I walked past, all times of day, in their cages, barking now and again.,I should have told the police, but I don’t suppose they’d have done anything anyway, and I lived just opposite in TW condo then.

Really, what are you so afraid of ?? I don’t see anyone here legally having problems , except inflation maybe !! And they won’t have in the future.

When Covid started 2020 I had three Chinese women as neighbours. ( Jomtien). They had rented right next to me !! The noise, the mess, sleeping all day, another few turned up evenings, out all night ( where ?? ) . Found one in the morning sleeping outside her door in the corridor. These were not teenagers, more like 30 ish. I complained, everyone did ! You know the outcome, condo owner wasn’t there. Come March, I was getting a bit worried over the Covid situation so decided to leave. Took a taxi straight to Koh Chang, stayed there 2 perfect weeks, then went direct to BKK airport and home to France. Glad I did too. I thought the Russians were bad, but Chinese !! Careful Thailand , look at Cambodia and what they did there, and are doing in Laos at the moment !!!!

He’s the best Thailands got .

Why not ? There’s enough western crooks and thugs around to Thailand ( and elsewhere) to merit some hard search. Don’t we see them in the news all the time ? Wherever you live in Thailand, I’m sure you know , or know of, similar undesirables.

I hope this is widely spread with their photos in the Philippines !!!! Put on FB !!! People like that are dangerous animals that must answer to their crime. I’m sure the Philippines could give more info once they have the details. Have they left there, gone back home ?

The author of the article is talking rubbish !! Typical Thai are the best ideas. Thailand only did what any country in the world would do if they had a red warning from Interpol out for a criminal. No more or less. Maybe he should read the articles about Thailands red light districts, the lack of social security, the corruption in high places , the poverty behind closed doors ? Or has he read too many of these international front page news articles. ?

From what I’ve seen of Chinese crooks in Cambodia and in Paris, Thailand is best rid of them.

I stayed in Jomtien and often wondered how whole families could stay there, kids don’t go to school, elderly grandparents, obviously not rich, so what visas are they getting ??

What I’d like to know was WHY he overstayed ?? If he had a visa as stated, he could have extended and then do a border hop . Was he broke , was he working and couldn’t ? What was he doing walking along the road to the University, bit strange all that. In a shirt and jeans, isn’t it hot there ??

Well, I think a lot of you have very violent natures. How anyone can think that a thief deserves to die , that it’s his own fault for dying , is beyond any decency and any understanding. ( apparently he was an addict and had mental problems), I’ve been robbed in Europe at home, attacked in Thailand , I’d never wish anyone dead. The cannabis owner obviously had « friends », and could have restrained the man without kicking him until the police came.

Tony’s, third rd ??

There is a vegetarian small restaurant further up from Friendship supermarket on the left side. Another one on Pratumnak Soi ???´Soi where the Russian market is. Very good both . Right side middle of soi going downhill.

So what do vegetarians have for Xmas lunch generally ? That would help knowing.

I needed lactose free milk. Bought it, absolutely disgusting taste, yellowy color and thick. Why, lactose free should be very very similar taste as normal milk ?? I threw it away, thought it was off. Tried more after and it was the same awful stuff. I’ve been using it for ages in France/ Italy , lots of places and it’s fine.

But surely more proof would be needed ? What does the girl have to prove he is the father of her child ? Anyone can get hold of a birth certificate. British rules( as elsewhere) are very complicated and a long process.

Why are you all on about the pensions ?? As many have said, there’s a lot more to this story. Immigration can see if she’s here on holiday or not, when she entered , doctors can tell when she was amputated, possible where, what the burns are, bed sores or not. I’m quite sure a front page story in Thai newspapers would have info if she lived in Thailand. Name search by Thai Police . There was a story a few years back about an unknown man found in London, he had Alzheimer’s. He was dressed in brand new clothes and shoes and had no identity papers. He was put in a home and the nurses took great care of this poor old soul. Eventually it was found that he’d been brought to UK by his American family, abandoned, as , ( their story) they couldn’t afford the care needed in the US. Heartbreaking, can’t remember the outcome but he was a long time in UK. lots of possibilities concerning this poor lady. They’ve probably got more info by now.

Pétition needed here , and boycott , no meters, no taxi. No licence , walk. Should be published in the newspaper post Box that one cannot name .

This is where education comes in. The Thai kids I know are a catastrophic. Daughters of my best friend went to uni ,, and still can only manage a few words. The boys I see coming home from school all have bottles of beer in their hands There is no getting away with it, Thailand will never become important internationally , high end jobs will not be filled, until they have mastered English. It’s important the world over. My take on Indians and Burmese, I find their English very good ! Before Covid I visited Myanmar regularly and find they are very proficient in English, and even in India where I’ve spent a long time in the past . Most Thai kids will actually ignore you if you ask them a question in English.

Or the person at Poipet was told to either stay there or find a flight back.

I have seen foreign staff in 4/5 star hotels , also once waiting on a BBQ evening. I think they must be legally on some sort of training scheme. Foreign chefs are common, one who was my neighbour was earring a huge wage in a 5 star hotel.

Sorry, but I am not a fan of China . Lots of the worst things one hears about China are generally true. Persecution is their politics. Honestly .

Next time you book an Airbnb, ask for the screenshot of your arrival immediately, saying you are going to immigration the next day. A neighbour of mine did this in Phuket , got his screenshot the same day. Some people earn a lot of money through Airbnb legally, and don’t want to be reported to the company. Ask before you book anywhere in Thailand. Really, it is up to you to know these things, especially where immigration is concerned.

Quick answer, no.
