  1. A mafia government. Chada Thaiset is one of the worst of the lot. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/chada-thaised-ferocious-opponent-of-pitas-pm-bid-has-a-dark-and-violence-racked-history/
  2. Does anybody know the cost of driving a Khmer registered car from Cambodia into Thailand via the Chong Chom border crossing next to Surin province? The fee seems to be on the Thai side. Or vice versa, the cost of driving a Thai registered car into Cambodia.
  3. Thai politicians don't seem to know what soft power means. It's the idea that a country's legal systems, democracy and social culture are so safe, fair, honest and transparent that they give them a kind of unwritten power and influence in international politics. In Thailand, the Prime Minister came to power through a sham election and dodgy back room deals. The country is notorious for its corruption. They should fix those things first.
  4. Most of the earlier items are from the Khmer empire, so there's a reasonable case that they should be sent to Cambodia.
  5. Perhaps you need to look more deeply into laws before you Google and check the first result.
  6. Sukhumvit Road looks so much better with all the fold-up tables and hand painted food carts selling cannabis, not to mention the gaudy neon-lit shops with cringe-worthy names controlled by money-laundering drug-pushing boiler-room scamming, gogo bar barrow boys from Britain.
  7. Condense it all to two words of point 6: Use Grab during rush hour or in locations where it may be difficult to hail a regular taxi, to reduce conflicts with taxi drivers.
  8. What's the point of these kind of smart arse replies? The forum is for people to ask questions.
  9. According to the friend who posted a YouTube video, he died of a heart attack.
  10. A Prime Minister sponsored by Sansiri. Wonder how much they paid to get their man in the hot seat.
  11. There are some well-known Western / European bar owners in Pattaya and Bangkok who need investigating. Far worse are the Thais and Japanese, though.
  12. In previous years I've always obtained a multiple re-entry permit at Chaeng Wattana. This year I'm going to try at DMK airport as it says on the immigration website they can be 'filed at Passport Control (International Departures) in the Airport on the date of departure from the Kingdom.' (https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/re-entry-permit/) Is the one-year multiple re-entry definitely possible to get from DMK? I've done single re-entry permits before at the airports and they take 20 or 30 minutes. Any experience of the process at the airports?
  13. The CCTV shows the man holding her by the legs while she dangles from the window. He could have been doing it to scare her then dropped her accidentally, or he might have been trying to save her and lost his grip. One thing's for sure, we can have faith in the Thai police to honor the dead woman's life by investigating the case thoroughly and definitely not being 'persuaded' to forget about it and move onto the next one.

  14. As many people have said, that’s a python not a king cobra.
  15. Isn't it odd that Bryan Flowers of the controversial Nightwish Group and Adam Judd of the bastion of news that is 'The Pattaya News' didn't report on this incident. Do they have skin in the game?
  16. I'm not surprised. Most Thais are lazy, apathetic, selfish, cowardly and thick. They're too afraid to remove their masks let alone start a protest of any significance. Which is why the army, ruling family and big business leaders, know they can get away with anything.
  17. Surely not! Thais are well known for their honesty, civic pride and law-abiding character.
  18. If your husband wants you to pay them, probably a good idea to pay something as a goodwill gesture. If he doesn't, don't pay them.
  19. Makes a change from flying to see his mistresses.
