Member for one day and 34 posts? Oh, life must be sooooo boring in Bangkok these days
Wrong I'm actually spending a month in Hua hin. Yep booring and looking forward to getting back to lower Sukhumvit [emoji12] -
Well considering they did a back flip and are now saying side sois will be allowed to operate so why not have the street food festival? Side sois are streets.

That makes no sense. If your business is suffering you don't rent out your shop front to a business that's competing against you.Do you think that the food carts that pitch up outside so many 7 eleven's do so un-asked and with impunity? The sad franchise holders are so cash-strapped with their 'investment' in the CP empire, they need to rent out that space to make ends meet. I have noted a trend for newer, larger 7 elevens to have a large, designated, signposted 'customers only' parking area out front and a conspicuous absence of vendors. Maybe CP's newer franchise agreements prohibit owners making any extra money this way?Maybe rent it to a hat seller but never a food and drink seller
However I was talking about the thousands of mom n pop resteraunts across Thailand . They are hard workers to, why do they have to pay rent and tax?

Actually, both Thailand and Malaysia failed to spot the plane's trajectory, and the plane most likely traversed the peninsula where their two borders meet. If they can't spot a large passenger jet lumbering by their borders, then what the heck can their radar do? Perhaps it's just a hollow non-functioning expensive showcase, like the 25,000 security cameras which never work in Bangkok.
Wow only took 3 posts and we have some one bashing bangkok. Only on TV can a story about an aeroplane in Malaysia turn into a story about failed cameras in bangkok -
No, they probably don't pay tax but then again they're not sitting in front of the TV waiting for a dole cheque or some other social benefits handout like a lot back in Farangistan do. I complement any man/woman who tries to make a living - irrespective of whether or not they pay tax.
You simply can not allow squatters selling anything to not pay rent or pay tax.
How would you feel if you were a small resteraunt owner or bar owner and they set up in front of your shop? And you have to pay tax and rent... Yep thought so

This campaign will kick Cambodia tourism in the guts.
Half the tourists are there for the hassle free drug culture -
You nailed it.Since long bar/red-light occupation is not an indicator for the kind of cheap mass tourism that makes up for the numbers. If you want to see the masses I suggest:visit Bali Hai at 9 AM, do a boat trip to Ko Lan (NOT!).
watch the tour buses coming in
watch the crowds at Suvarnabhumi transport level heading to Pattaya, the pennant swingers followed by their herds.
...
Just read today that during low season May to July another 200'000 Chinese might come on top due to some kind of "ban" from South Korea.
I caught the catamaran to hua hin last week and was at bahli hi at 9 am for 10 am departure... I have never seen anything like it!
The pier was completely full like an exit tunnel after a major rock concert. There were hundreds and hundreds of them.
Clearly the tourist demographic in Pattaya is changing
Relying on "porn" the beer bar girl saying no boom boom now many customer gone no longer holds any weight.

Anything that does involve concentrating on the plot.
Sorry but cartoons or some type of fantasy with dragons and warlocks.
Best of luck -
Thais can't even walk a short distance, most expats in Bangkok would agree that walking any distance in Bangkok is just too sweaty. So what are the sidewalks for if not for providing cheap food? Bangkok is a filthy place, even so, I have never got sick from street food in 30 years. If you love to walk, live in London, probably the best walking city in the world.
Nonsense. Tourists agree it's just to sweaty. Or maybe your just an obese expat that can barely make it out of your room. Every expat I know has adapted to the heat and for those that didn't the last place to eat would be out in the burning sun.

These head injuries will come back to haunt you in later life.
You just had 2. How you know that's the end of them, sounds like your on a roll.
Bycycle in bangkok is insanity. -
Those links seem to be dead.

Most of the links you will get are going to be dead or 15 years old.
TV is great for where is the cheapest pizza or happy hours in beer bars but the majority are struggling to pay 4k rent.
Not the place to ask about condo purchase unless you want a run around

If they are thais below you, nothing on God's earth will disturb their sleep.
You should be worried about what will travel up through your floor -
Nearly human trafficking?

I'll bet quite a good proportion of Thai life gets on your tits by the sounds of it.
OMG lol.
I don't drive.
Did I say I want to change anything. Step back from the Hong tong my good friend
What's stressing you out dude? It's an open forum you can talk.

Speed limiters, no don't want - - too much trouble to circumvent.

12500 baht just to buy one? Could be a bit cheaper from China but it it would stop working a week after warranty expires
AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN -
I have never once been to Khao San Rd, nor do I intend to, far more interesting places in BKK.
Exactly, slurping chicken soup with smelly backpackers and stoned aging hippies is not particularly enticing -
This is Thailand (TiT) i'm sure there is lots of room for you in your home country to walk the footpaths at will, airlines leave everyday.
people complain about immigrants wanting to change their adopted country, now non immigrants want to do it.
I guess you got agitated and did not read my post properly , the bit about I live next to a bts and doesn't affect me.
It clearly doesn't effect you either, out of sight out of mind eh?
-
Food carts in side sois cause total chaos. There is barely enough room for 2 lanes and they show up and you have one lane!
Lucky I live next to a bts and don't put up with it. -
Yeah but why would a city like Bangkok ever want to end up a sterile, soulless bore of a place like S'pore?
With Nana Plaza, soi 4 and soi cowboy plus a thousand beer bars all screaming handsome man, it will never be boring! It will never be Singapore at least for another 10 to 20 years or so.
Nothing lasts for ever though. Change is inevitable -
Where to find a mall or restaurant open in the local area at 3 am, when p*ssed???
7/11 fried rice will do when pissed. -
I believe they all have to register.
How come there are so many with the same company name? Must be a thousand "Happy massage" shops across Thailand -
Lots of guys in the West have "do not revive ' tattooed on their chest, some have long term illness or just sick of living.
You could get that done in thai and roll the dice on whether you wake up or not
Or
Tattoo do not treat at bumingrad , that would work with all uninsured in bangkok
An elderly friend fainted outside villa market was taken straight to the Bumrungrad where he got double pneumonia.
2 weeks 1.2m baht which he paid
They never found out why he fainted
-
Sadly, neither location is currently served by the BTS or MRT (though Chinatown is getting close), and the beauty of street food is the convenience of stepping out of your 3 or 4 or 5 star hotel and stumbling across it. Not making a slog halfway across town to slurp up some 40 baht noodles.

Unfortunate spot to break down for sure, but if he is telling the truth, he did the right thing with hazard lights and cones. Some drivers here are just crazy whether their vehicle is restricted to 90kmh or not. I wish the passengers a speedy recovery and assume their well-being might well be down to the fact they were probably wearing seat belts.
I'm pretty sure they are all very seriously injured. Hit a brick wall at 120kph even with seat belt is going to cause major internal and external damage.
Bangkok bans its street food leaving foodies fed up, vendors in a pickle
