hmmm no more 200m long roads built for 7.8m baht then? the mayor's brother gonna be unhappy..

police out again last night this time on the soi chomsin to soi 88 mountain pass over hin lek fai from ~11pm. waved me on with a "slowly, slowly" warning but were pulling other bikes over, about 10 of them.

not sure i feel safer or not lol maybe start carry passport in case

about 10 years late to the party

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced."

 

weird, i ride 10-20km most days in hua hin, all over town and hin lek fai area and have never been attacked by dogs however i see and pass many on my rides.

i like dogs a lot though.. maybe they are picking up the bad feelings towards them? kind of like how they "smell fear" - or is that just a myth?

who knows.. hope you find a solution 

"They said that out of eight people they wanted to arrest they have sent papers to court regarding just one. Two defendants have died and they are still after five more."

jaysus, dragging heels or what 

"The Ministry of Sports and Tourism has been told by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha to set a new order at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha or Wat Phra Kaew so that there will be a space for Thais to conduct religious activities"

all thais are buddhist therefore all buddhists must be thai 

Thailand where the fun never stops! Until it stops...

first Norway then the UK and now Thailand building border walls.. maybe Trump's border policies are catching on..

As someone who walks a lot, that is great news. 

agree, walking on samui should be reclassified as an extreme sport

i've been out the last 2 nights (friday and saturday) and didn't see ONE single policeman anywhere. not on bintabaht area, 88/94/102 even soi 6/7 bars. not even outside the police station. pathetic.

just a photoshoot to pacify the recently falling number of bangkok tourists i'm afraid

Every island is controlled by a mafia. Come back in 50 years time!

hua hin is on the mainland

could look so nice with a promenade from pier to chinese temple.. won't be holding my breath though

i don't get it, where the **** are they all then?

i'd say the beach promenade area is a bigger problem - still full of hookers walking around at 6-7am mixing with lots of families and kids.

maybe clean that area up and leaver the (obviously) red light zones to themselves

the company that kept its prices the same when they lost the EPL but now charge 390 baht extra when they get it back

think i'll pass

well if immigration really feels the need to waste their time visiting my house then so be it.. but my wife will have 1205 on speed dial in case of any "extra requests"

Corruption is only possible because people are willing to pay to obtain something they are not entitled too.

Get rid of the element that creates the corruption to start with and it's problem solved.

i wish it was that simple, all too often bribes are requested for doing their job as well in the form of 'guaranteed acceptance', 'express service' etc..

it's the mug expats who pay these bribes, even though their documents are in order, who encourage the practice (and make life harder for the honest expats out there)

ah such a heart warming story.. as for the rest of us it's pay up or face the consequences

"555...yeah, ok." Same with a lot of posts on TV, add little value, infer a deeper knowledge and understanding (trust me you're wrong, I know better, but I'll keep the detail light so as not to get caught out), but the substance? Time to hit the BS button. Pfffft.

Your limited knowledge of Phuket's right up there with your limited knowledge of Chiang Mai.

please enlighten us, oh wise one..

thank you for your self promotion - do you have coupon too?

Next thing you will see is a law that restricts farang from selling their own condo or house without a work permit.

The joy of renting .....

yeah, those were the days.. i miss paying double the mortgage for a house half the size..

canvas? i thought villas were the norm on this island?

they won't be for much longer if they keep publicising it like this

i prefer the one on soi 88, kids love vana nava
