Sounds reasonable if:
1. They don't set up empty chairs.
2. They haul all their stuff off the beach at sunset so the place doesn't look like crap.

Taxi drivers have a license and with that comes an agreement.
The deal is, you get in, tell them where to go and they turn on the meter. A simpleton can easily follow the rules.
Drivers that break their contract should be reported every time. Call 1584.
Note the color of the taxi, time and number painted on the door or the number on the metal tag inside the door.
When they renew their contract every year they will get a big surprise. A 1,000Bt fine for every complaint.
Nice.
"Land Transport Department Director General Somchai Siriwatanachoke said the department imposed a Bt1,000 fine on any taxi driver who refused to accept passengers.
To solve the problem, the department has prepared to take legal action against those who repeatedly reject passengers by suspending and revoking his/her public driving licences.
Call centre telephone number 1584." -
Lots of fine drivers but lots of idiots...............
and some beasts as well.....................
Depends in Bangkok pretty much on WHERE you take a taxi. Sharks have their hunting areas and so have a..holes .
Fact is, there are criminals, professional scammers, posing as taxi drivers that pay the police a monthly rate to own the prime hunting turf in front of every tourist hotel and attraction.
Every taxi driver parked in front of every hotel is a scammer and they are paying off the police.
Honest taxi drivers are faced with intimidation and violence if they attempt to take a passenger in these areas.
They will even stop an honest taxi that picks up a tourists in their turf and force the passenger to taking a scam taxi.
They are out of control and are paying off the police.

I think Jeb is a little bit slower than his brother, George W.
He says Margaret Thatcher should be on the new $10 bill. The sleepwalker couldn't think of a worthy lady in US History?
A bit slower than GW? - he must be near zero then.
You're right about the $10 Bill and I'm a Brit - and I was a Thatcher fan.
If he had a brain, he would take it out and play with it.

God may want to take Charlie early. After all, he has had more than his fair share.

Could be a big list of all their political enemies that they have ruined, jailed, forced overseas or conveniently had an accident.

Yea. They like to practice english.
One driver told my wife recently that he was learning to speak english so he could lie to the faring.

This government is just great.
To say otherwise would be criminal.

Can't wait for self driving cars.
Just don't let a Thai program it.

All of them carry a weapon and a percentage are on drugs, drunk, stupid, bitter, racist or are criminals posing as taxi drivers.

As someone who can no longer get it up, not allowed to take the old Vitamin V, and can't drink, which bar would you recommend for me?
Please type in capital letters as my eyesight is failing as well. But don't shout, I'm not bloody deaf, you know.
Thank god you can still drive.

No activity with the Savanna Sands project, But I hear the commercials for it on the radio. I guess they are waiting for the Russians to return , that could take a few years.
It looks like many developments in Pattaya are waiting for the return of the Russians, and other nationalities, but in a minute someone will be around to say that the real estate is thriving in Pattaya.
Yep. Things were looking better 5 years ago when the developers were aquiring the land, money, plans, permits and contractor bids.
Then the customers disappeared around the time they were breaking ground and drilling the piles.
Ooops!

Christian rufugees are welcome. After that, shut the Gates and lock them.
Only let the atheists come I say. The religious are nothing but trouble.

She "rescued" them from a vendor?
What are these animals doing in a real estate office showroom?

Good move.
The 800cc Scrambler looks very cumbersome in those off-road videos.
Hope this one is lighter.

Ducati announced the 2016 XDiavel. Feet forward cruiser.
I like the bike but the marketing department has again gone with embarrassing, hipster lifestyle promotion along with a clothing line. Gag me.

Things are pretty much same now as pre coup with all the corruptions, unexplained deaths in custody and throw in lots of resignations and fleeing of high ranking police and military officers. Perhaps all are connected that can only happen when you have a coup and military government. They have the muscle to demand no one ask difficult questions.
The Army had the muscle to protect the voting polls.

I always liked the green area below the Cozy Beach Hotel. Nice peaceful park with big trees and large green lawn.
To bad they recently bulldozed the place.

An armed public may knock off a terrorist or criminal occasionally but there would be a much higher number of accidental and random killings.

Some lunatics like to paint Obama as a Muslim terrorist sympathizer that sneaked across the border.
