    About time they take bikes off unlicensed riders and impound them if they are rented and make the rental companies pay heavy to get them back, they will soon stop renting to any Tom, Schwanz or Garri without the appropriate driving licence.

    you are talking thais as well i hope, so all the kids have to walk miles home, that could be dangerous for them dont you think ?

    Thanks guys for replying answer!

     

    do you think If they catch me later amount of fine will increase now I think I should pay 20 ok 30k example; let’s say after 3 moth the fine will increase or not ?

    after 3 moth it goes up to butterfly and that is very bad

    I will try explain things for you people that do not seem to understand. every country in the world is controlled by the elites and that's how it is. Thailand is going to be controlled by the elites long after I die so most of you lot are screwed.....

    Go outside and tie yellow ribbons around everything you have and accept it because that's the way it is and that's the way it is going to be for a very long time.

    the voice of reason surfaces

    very well said

    A real man.

     

    Led 617 Squadron into action (600 men including ground crew) when less than 25 years of age.

     

    Crossed over the Mohne dam 4 times in the face of intense flak.

    fought for Britain and look what the politicians rewarded him with today,  over-run by people who are not british but have more say than the british people

    Sad but true....... When there was a need to fight in both world wars, Thailands death toll was less in both wars combined than two days road deaths today...... yet look at the size of the monuments...... Tin pot outfit of thieves....

    you obviously condone the slaughter of countless troops in 1st WW ( up and out of trenches day in day out ) both sides i might add, to satisfy the generals's ability to fight a war.

    and

    Thai economy is way stronger than the UK's

    I was reading an article yesterday talking about the army factions and what regions they are strong with and their relationships with each other.

     

    Utterly bizarre the way talk about past coups as if they were great military victories that go down in the folklore of Thai military greatness.

     

    Every country and army forms legends around certain battles and these become the anchor points of an armies history (battle of the Somme, Dien Bien Phu, Goose Green, Gallipoli etc). These battles give men a goal to aim towards..a kind of barometer of bravery and sacrifice.

     

    From what I can see these legendary battles or military events in Thailand are all centered around coups, suppression of crowds and killing their own people.

     

    You can just imagine the conversations in the officer s messes or militarily schools here recanting grand tales of Tripp’s going into battle against their own defenseless citizens and the glorious victory again at their own people who had no arms.

     

    Just pathetic.

    JUST ANOTHER KIND OF INDOCTRINATION

    ever heard of an army celebrating something it lost ????

    Why wouldn't they change such small stuff like 50 Pound notes :biggrin:

    Professional changers were always happy with the 500 Euro note.

     

    Being fussy about condition: that's true for minor/provincial bank branches.

    I wouldn't expect that at TT in Pattaya they care about a dogs-ear.

    With the many Brits around they should be hardened.

    Sure you should not take crumpled, worn out notes and such with any scribbling.

     

    And you still have a selection of other changers with comparable rates in Pattaya.

    no ink marks or tears that should read tear s  at exchanges jan 26  TT best bet for slight and i mean slight marks

    No that doesn't work either. Especially in high density condos with decks/balconies. So they should be forced not to smoke unless completely isolated. That would not be on decks and balconies in condos, hotels, apts. By the way it's not the odour, there are a lot worse in Pattaya. The problem is the coughing, irritation after inhaling second hand smoke. 

    they all sit in pub gardens now   very irritating

    I've said this all along. What is wrong with for example on the beaches having deckchair/ umbrella concessions that are non smoking and others that are for smokers, the concession providing ashtrays and making it clear cigarettes are not to be ground in to the sand. And smoking / non smoking areas in bars and restaurants, signified by one having ashtrays the other not? I am a smoker but I hate seeing butts tossed in the sand and all over pavements and streets. I carry my own tin to put them in. I was in Pattaya last week. Apart from the beach I noticed no changes on this. Open air bars and restaurants putting out ashtrays or providing them on request, not so inside...and that's fair enough. If I want to sit inside with aircon I don't smoke.

    probably still smell of it tho

    Unfortunately these ignorant, obnoxious lowlife smokers are at least 50 % of the Pattaya population. All the way from lowlife locals, all these oblivious Asian male tourists , the typical lowlife white males everywhere and these sorry couples all ages walking around smoking with nothing better to do. Impossible to enforce short of army patrolling all over Pattaya. 

     

    make all cigarettes stronger,  that'll solve the problem in a couple of decades

    Pattaya started dying the day they introduced smartphones.

    No, I wasn't a 'sexpat', but in the good old days, it was easy to have a conversation, or interact with staff in any type of social establishment.

    Now, especially with the younger generation's obsession with 'social media', modern day conversation is done with the fingers, via a phone mast. 

    used to communicate with my fingers back in the day 555

    never used to be all the freelancers sitting on their bikes along beachroad, they seem to sit there all night

    That bar/restro behind the spaghetti shop has a very poor service and clientele.

    better go across the street to eat a Sandwich in Subway or have excellent pizzas with multi fruit shake in Loafs nearby.

    service is not available it is self service and the clientele is excellent ranging from doctors to pilots to special forces 555
