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 ....

That's weird...  The OP article talks about a price of 59b per bottle, though they don't mentioned what size. Maybe the standard 320/330 ML size used locally.

 

That's under the cheapest imported ciders I've seen here, which seem to start at about 99b per 500 ML bottle or can. Which would seem to suggest it's going to be brewed locally like Heineken.

 

Except, the OP article talks about using apples from England, and AFAIK, Thailand doesn't seem to have any apple crop of its own.

 

So I wonder, just what's up with this?

My guess would be that they export the concentrate and water is added locally, and possibly sweetener to cater for local tastes

Not angry at all....and I'm not little. Just making a point in writing. Perhaps you got it, perhaps not.

I wasn't holding out much hope.  Too subtle for you I guess.

 

Let me try again. Perhaps people in your country describe themselves in terms of colour because it was forced upon them to describe themselves in terms of colour. 

But perhaps they don't see themselves in terms of colour and it is offensive to them when you do so.

 

You just make assumptions because it saves you from having to think.

Intelligent people don't mind thinking.

What would you know about how intelligent people think, I am not just talking about black people in my country, black people and the authorities all over the world describe them as such, do you really believe they don't know they are black ? And do you really believe you are subtle ? do you really believe you are not angry ?

How do you know how "they  refer to themselves"? Do you know any of the people involved or arrested?

Perhaps they don't see themselves in terms of colour at all. Perhaps if they did, it is only because you describe them in terms of colour.

Chinese call themselves yellow people do they?

Perhaps you would love to be able to describe them thus, but do not because of political correctness.

Why stop there? We can call some Thai people, "little brown people" openly, with no fear of offence. A white, balding sex tourist as "a pink  and disgusting lowlife who exploits poor people, exchanging money in return for sexual favours"

After all, these are just simple descriptions that reflect the facts, aren't they?

 

So, to hell with PC. Let's just say what is on our minds without fear of causing offence.

You are an angry little man aren't you ?

I don't need to know them personally to know that black people refer to themselves as black !

They don't all come from the same country you see .... Whereas Chinese and Thais do thus they are described as such .

There are many other adjectives in both languages that could have been used instead of "black".  The BiB is enforcing the law, but while doing so, incurring unnecessary bad feelings about racism.  There is a difference between being PC and just avoiding undue insult. 

It's not an insult, they refer to themselves as black, it's people like you that perpetuate political correctness, we've had enough stop it

Wouldnt want to be a black guy in thailand, would be like walking around with criminal tattoo on your forehead.  A task force especially for blacks even the name black eagle smells of racism.

Well those of us who are absolutely sick of political correctness might find this refreshing,

Think of it as the backlash ....

Because you live in a multi-cultural society and you're a tolerant person. Why not embrace multi-culturalism instead of fearing it? You wouldn't have been much good in the Empire.

I doubt if Mr Grouse fears multiculturalism but rather sees it as a failed social experiment as I do, apologies to Mr G if I'm wrong

Dishonest post.

I obviously posted that BEFORE it was determined that it was another Islamist terror event.

You are calling me dishonest because you were stupid enough to assume it was anything but Islamist terrorism ?

Great idea by the American cops to shoot the <deleted> in the abdomen, keep him alive but in pain. They get to interrogate him and no martyrdom. Take note UK plod ....

I don't think very many people here are going to defend terrorists, extremist Islamist, or any other flavor of terrorists. 

If you're suggesting it's OK to demonize all Muslim people because of Islamist terrorism, I don't see how that is fair or rational. 

Have there been any clues yet on the motivation of this recent event? 

Yes, the clue is deep seated hatred for everything Western

So sad but actual event taking place on that border the bloody Burmese army is killing, raping, looting mercilessly innocent civilians.

Rubbish, there is no rape going on, the initial violence came from the insurgents, the citizens of Myanmar are actually nice people, who could blame them for not wanting Pakis in their country
