50,000 tons of Thai rice.

Chinese dump (#2) on beach road in Pattaya and just walk away.

In my opinion, all who provide that info to Thai authorities will be a great risk of identity theft or worse. There are lots of stories in the media, about Thai government database info being shared with third parties, and available for purchase on the dark web. Of course, not all data sharing is made public and reported in news media. Even info provided to Thai embassy and immigration, has been provided to third parties, I have personal experience in this matter.

I hope they proceed with 24 hours a day 7 days a week construction. That area always has heavy traffic. There seem to be no residential buildings on that section of the road. Lots of times, there is nobody, or only 2 or 3 people, on the job in many of Pattaya's public road construction job sites. Sometimes there is no progress for weeks.

Looks like there are multiple Sukhawadee House facilities. One did get torn down. Does anyone know what the public beach land depth is from the high water mark?

Many of motorcycle rental places block public parking spots with various space savers like orange cones, reserving space for bike returns like this guy. Also lots of rental bikes just permanently occupy public parking spaces.

During Covid there was a court case that said a tourist attraction, with lots of lights, south of Chol Chan resort, was on public beach property and it had to be removed. However, it is still there with multiple signs that indicate 2,000 baht fine if you enter without a ticket. Looks like its the place you mention.

What about kids that actually performed the murder, do they walk free? None should walk free. Should be put into juvenile detention centres for at least 5 years, with no chance of early release.

Some the parents pay zero baht. Kid just does community service. Nothing has been done to the Police officer who forced a false confession from the husband. See here:

The Bank of Thailand told the banks to avoid NPLs during COVID by offering non-paying customers alternatives, like stop payments on a loan. BOT didn't want Thailand looking bad financially during COVID and was hoping things would get back to normal after COVID. Of course the banks didn't stop accumulating interest on those loans, and interest started compounding upon interest and principal, resulting in a loan balance greater than the original loaned amount. Delaying payments helped some, but lots of people didn't understand the consequences of not paying when due and the Bankers' sympathetic offer to not foreclose during COVID. Borrowers now realize the asset is worth less than the loan balance, so they stop paying, which results in a NPL. Then the Bank takes ownership of the collateral, and tries to sell it. Lots of assets, like used motor vehicles are available, so no need to buy new.

Some of parents were police officers, not at the low end in terms of status and finances. Definitely at the low end of morality. Life is very cheap in Thailand, according to this judge. Did the judge receive some special consideration from parents, especially the Police officers? Also, what is happening to the Police officers who originally wrongfully charged the husband?

No competition here. Well the government of Thailand authorities and news media do read social media, perhaps even aseannow. I am hoping someone takes interests in enforcing the laws around Pattaya for public access to beaches as they are starting to do in Phuket province.

But the growth in assets and the debts, during marriage, are divided. To be exposed to losing half the growth in assets and gaining half the debt during marriage, will amount to a net loss for me.

I was married once before, not in Thailand. It was a long (5 years) expensive process to get a separation agreement and divorce. Only the lawyers obtained substantial benefit from the process. Can't see any advantages/benefits for me to get married especially in Thailand, especially based on the contents on the siam-legal website posted above. As I discovered personally through my first marriage and as the website states, at the end of marriage, there is only division of assets and perhaps sharing parenting responsibilities of children.

Why make the mortgage after marriage? I may not marry the person. At this time I have no intention of marrying her. Why would I want to be protected under martial law? If our relationship breaks-down, the debt/mortgage is still outstanding against the property.

There's guy on youtube called sanctioned Ivan that states an average workers' salary, non-skilled, is about USD$700 a month

Rats are starting to flee. Best to check every foreigner's visa trying to depart Phuket. Maybe start at the chatchai checkpoint just before bridge. Also check at the ferry docks and domestic flight departures. Every business on the island should have surprise visits during business hours by non-Phuket police at least once a month for the next 2 or 3 months.

Each district has to find a least 2 or 3 sacrificial lambs, bring them to the slaughter, proof for public and the Big Phuket police general that they are following orders and producing good results. This way the big guy can tell the Minister he his following his orders. As others have said, there are hundreds of foreigners working and living illegally in Phuket Province. Police in Thailand are for most part, very intelligent. 90% of the time, Police know exactly what is happening in their territories and chose either to act or ignore the activities.

I was told the best way to handle property purchase by a foreigner with a Thai partner was: 1. Have the Thai partner purchase the property into their name; 2. Foreigner loans the purchase funds (at market rates) to Thai and registers a mortgage on the property; 3. Thai provides usufruct to foreigner for 30 years, "to have and hold as if he owned the property", "owner has no right to encumber property without written authorization from usufract beneficiary, usufract beneficiary can transfer all rights of usufract without owner's authorization to any other beneficiary, etc. etc. Comments?

You assume too much. A judge will decide her punishment, and it may be only a fine. The worst part maybe that she is incarcerated until the court decides her punishment. Thai prisons are crowded, without basic amenities like toilets, showers, beds etc., horrible places for most foreigners. If she has a friend, they may provide her with a piece of cardboard to sleep on.

For a foreigner to work in Thailand, they need a work permit, she didn't have one, so she was working illegally. She may have been taking a job that could be performed by a Thai. So she has harmed an unemployed Thai.

I hope that Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul also have a chat with the Governor of Chonburi. Lots of beaches in and around Pattaya seem to have private structures built on public beaches, restricting access to public beaches.

Biden is set to lose the 2024 election just because he hasn't fix the horrendous southern border immigration issues adequately, especially not allowing the laws to be enforced. The volume of people coming across illegally is causing great harm to USA. USA is going to end up like Mexico and the other countries where the immigrants originate. Seems like Biden thinks the southern border should just consist of sign like "Welcome to USA", no fence, no police, no immigration enforcement.

Maybe Home Office workers are enjoying discounts/freebies and the convenient location, for a lunch time quicky?

When is the Chonburi Governor going to start checking access to public beaches in Chonburi, especially in the Pattaya area, and north and south of Pattaya? Lots of private structures, in North Pattaya, have been built on the beach, within 20 meters of the high water mark. In case the Governor can't find these structures, he can easily find them by renting a boat and looking from the sea. First place to check is south of where Na Kluea Soi 18, in Pattaya, ends at the beach. Some places have a massive stone/concrete wall, like near the Cove condo. Do Chonburi residents have to start organizing and holding mass demonstrations, like do they in Phuket, to get government officials to enforce the law, public access to the full width of public beaches? What about the government taking action against Government Officials who haven't ensured public access to public beaches. Is there grounds for charges like "dereliction of duty" with severe consequences? Could Minister Auntin have a chat, with the Chonburi Governor as he did with the Phuket Governor, to get things moving ?
