Quite a few years back a novel came out here called "Private Dancer".  A writer for the BKK Post, believe it was, reviewed it and said it should be handed out free to every single westerner coming into the country.  One of the many occurrences in the book was exactly that, husband passed off as brother.  Good, entertaining read.  Still in print, as far as I know.

I believe it was by the brilliant Stephen Leather.

It's a phrase "double pricing" not meant literally !! My maths isn't that bad 

The phrase is dual pricing

Look at the map: Chernonyl is located in Ukraine, not in Russia.

 

p.s. Very strange. Most of Russian people living in Pattaya can barely speak even basic English. But this guy can speak Thai...

Quite, and for that reason I doubt he is Russian

There's some pretty aggressive men - I just watched about 6 of these.

One pulled a gun, one physically attacked one of the group and they rolled on the ground, one drove home (slowly due to traffic jam) with 2 of the group on the hood, etc.

They are an aggressive race, but my personal experience has been with ones that barge into me on Jomtien beach road ....

Confirms what I always thought, Russian women are more arrogant and aggressive than the men

I do agree but i think the only reason alcohol is the most dangerous because it is legal and cheap (here in LOS anyway)

as such, these geezers can pretty much have as much as they want without regulation and no barman here will say "you had enough"

if you got monkey they serve you all night

not like other countries

 

Yes, you would think long term acohol abuse must cause mental illness.

but if other drugs were legal and people could get them anywhere and cheap many would be a lot worse.

 

Is a monkey 500 baht ?

India is getting fed up with this, so a pre-announced bail would solve the issue of finding acceptance for the family, maybe.
Or, maybe, a good old fashioned honey and milk bath, that is really scary, and should make any criminal think five times before committing a hideous crime.

Nevertheless, imho, the roots are deeper in society and its customs.

It used to be that girls were not preferred since to wed one off a dowry was required.
Now, a shortage of some 22 million Females in 15-64 years olds creates a lot of desperate men.
That is some 6 percent plus the natural relation ship friction makes a very large group,
Say 10 - 15 + percent of males, some 40 -60 million men that cannot find a wife because there aren't enough women.

(This is not intended as an excuse, please see first paragraph, just an observation.)

If there are not enough females maybe you should stop murdering them at birth ???

I seem to recall something similar to this was proposed last year.

Along with stopping Baht Buses.

 

I say leave it as it is - it might be chaotic but it's part of the area's character along with silly drunks, annoying lady-boys, awful music from GoGos ...and I love it! 

 

As @AlexCanada said you can walk along 2nd or 3rd Roads.

Agree, something else to consider is making it one way would increase the speed of traffic, making it more dangerous to cross, as in 2nd road......

Never heard of soi bukaw

I've seen Buakhao spelt various ways but never Bukaw. The op is correct about it being dangerous for pedestrians especially at the Lengkee junction, but I personally don't want it made one way, it is convenient for me to go both ways on the baht bus ....

The same in Sweden. Now Sweden has the highest rape rates in Europe. 

Mostly (95.6%) committed of migrants from Afghanistan and Somalia. 

The opticians keep telling "not because of migration", despite everyone knows. 

 

Can't see that ...

What do you suggest that Israels policy should be ?

Should Israel make it legal for pretty young girls to attack other people ?

Or should Israel disregard the laws about violent attacks in the situation where pretty young girls carry out the attacks ?

Pretty ???

...why to do thing honestly, if cheating get's away with more lucrative returns ?.....

 

Uber and Grab will expand their business with all the Taxi cheats in Thailand that refuse to understand.

 

And if you must use a taxi, say from Swampy to town and the driver get's funny on turning on the meter, just walk out of the taxi, complain at the booth and take another number for the next one....I once had to refuse 3 taxis refusing the meter, until I found one who was prepared to do his job without cheating.

Most people taking a taxi from the airport would have their suitcase in the boot ....
