    With today’s long range weapons it doesn’t matter how long a border is as proved in the 2nd World War, just bomb the hell out of a country as Britain did to Germany and the USA did to Japan.

    Close Beach Road yes, make 2nd Road 2 way, how long would it take to educate people it was 2 way. For me the first people that needs educating are the Police from the top to the bottom so they can seriously enforce the laws on the roads.

    When did the Thai government ever think about businesses when it comes to alcohol sales, never !
  4. Jumbo1968
    It’s not as if they have far to walk is it ?
  5. Jumbo1968
    They escalators in Las Vegas to cross the roads.
  6. Jumbo1968
    Big mistake by foreigners making assumptions about the Thai government I would say going by past experiences.
  7. Jumbo1968
    Close Beach Road except for Baht buses and deliveries, I would also close central Soi Buakha to ensure it’s not used as a rat run.

    The airlines are still ‘recovering’ from Covid add into that staff shortages meaning fewer flights then the high oil price which has fallen but now OPEC has cut the output forecast is oil will soon hit $100 again therefore I can’t flight prices coming down not unless the airlines struggle to sell seats. I can see the 45 days being reinstated in October then again we will have a new government so no one knows what the future holds.

    Putin will be like a rat trapped in a corner, no saying like a rat what he will do ?

    Regular speed traps at one end with the Police waiting further up the road to stop them and pull them in, l bet there would a huge backlog.
  11. Jumbo1968
    Of course, they could tell by their records that giving 45 days wasn’t making money, 30 days then the additional fee to extend it.
  12. Jumbo1968
    You booked a flight knowing the 30 days was going to end on the 31st of March, t was never mentioned it was going to be extended was it ? it’s low season for Europeans now plus the high air fares isn’t exactly encouraging Europeans to come.
  13. Jumbo1968
    Not many people in regular employment get 30 days holiday never mind 45 days not unless they have ‘banked’ their holidays or taking unpaid leave. Are the government are trying to get people on a visa rather than stamp them in, monetary issue ?
  14. Jumbo1968
    I don’t think it would matter as the Thais would be able to buy alcohol some where, the ‘uprising’ would be with the foreigners who appear can’t go a few days with out consuming alcohol.
  15. Jumbo1968
    TPN co owner Adam Judd mentioned the other week on his news programme Police might enforce the 2pm to 5pm alcohol ban during Songkran, I haven’t heard anything since though ?
  16. Jumbo1968
    Currently free but once a few get ‘sucked’ in there will be a fee to pay, nothing in life is free.
  17. Jumbo1968
    I believe the reason it was not extended was to discourage more Russians arriving for long stay some whom are draft dodging, rather than upset Russia by banning flights totally from Russia like Europe and other countries in the world.
  18. Jumbo1968
    Only the other day Thailand signed an extradition treaty with Russia, coincidence ? https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/policies/40025716

    I was out walking yesterday around 3.30pm Thai man got of his motor bike and urinated at the side of the road, not the first time I have seen it either.
  20. Jumbo1968
    Therefore the flights are basically empty on the return journey ?
  21. Jumbo1968
    I drink Guinness in Cheap Charlie’s, it was 199 baht but now 209 baht the cheapest elsewhere is 240 baht. I have never tried the food but judging by the number of customers when I go around 4/5 o’clock it must be reasonably good. I can’t see how if some one eats there regularly the owner is making money ?
  22. Jumbo1968
    You obviously have never been hit in the face/eye with dirty water like I have, stupid farang ‘loaded’ his water pistol from the gutter and deliberately aimed it at my face. I had to be physically restrained or I would have knocked the fella out, grown men with water pistols obviously had a deprived upbringing.
  23. Jumbo1968
    TBH will many people actually pay the high air fares for Songkran
  24. Jumbo1968
    The people will just travel from Bangkok and let rip in Pattaya. Pattaya sees Songkkran as a big money earner..
  25. Jumbo1968
    I had a walk down Soi 7 and 8 yesterday around 5.30 most of the bars were empty, the ones on Beach Road had few customers.
