  1. 480K? Police chief linked to drugs had 480 million confiscated. Hard to believe BJ only made 480 000
  2. Even better, next time they visit Thai place selling chicken with rice in Australia for more than $2, they should throw a hissy fit and be outraged at the price when in Thailand it’s only 40 -45 baht
  3. Hope once they return back home to England they will also be outraged if any place selling chicken with rice for more than 1 pound.
  4. Find it hard to believe someone would just king hit for no reason , other than a handshake. Mascot might be hiding few details
  5. He is done. whoever the driving force behind all of it tried 2 times before but failed, this is 3rd and final time this time round they made sure. Does not mean circus will not go on for a while
  6. Country has almost zero % unemployment where in real life translates into shortage of staff across all sectors. In addition lack of skilled staff across all sectors and yet government keeps idiotic restrictions and conditions with jobs reserved for Thai only. Or/ min salary caps. Thailand is a Buddhist country and yet temples do nothing to help the poor or homeless. Watchai in Pattaya owns half of prime realestate in the city, collecting insane rents and yet would not set up shelter or feed the poor.
  7. What’s next? Fried chicken as fat burning medication ?
  8. Potheads better to stock up , this time next year you be paying double and having trouble trying to find it . In the mean time police will be very busy chasing hundreds if not thousands who have plants growing in their homes
  9. If anyone to blame for this idiocy it is no other but Anutin He pushed to legalize it without any safe guarding , proper thinking and planning Now he is blaming foreigners operating illegally. I am not a smoker and could not care either way, but this should have been properly studied and planned. As much as all the pot heads are happy, do need to keep in mind, Thailand is the only place in SEA that has legalised it and Thailand is also a travel hub onto other countries. Plenty of knobs who smoke in Thailand and take some with them on to their next destination, only to end up arrested for possession of an illegal substance. On the other hand, you have hundreds if not thousands of people who have invested lots of money into opening shops but now will be forced to close down? who will compensate them? In case of Pattaya, there is a shop literally on every corner, almost as bad as 7-11, once they forced to close, they will also be in breach of their leases, who will force landlords to refund? and who will compensate landlords for their losses?
  10. Kind of ironic when Thai police motto is good guys in bad guys out I suppose applies to UK needs some more bad guys to replace the ones they lost 😂
  11. With them is not only about fees but also value that they put on. Judy had a case where I bought something for 2000 baht but there was a discount 500 baht , all showing on the invoice and yet they insisted charging on 2000 what they gonna do with registered post ? Open up each parcel and put a value on it ? manpower will need to triple to do all that and delays would be weeks if not longer in addition to many items possibly going missing or misplaced
  12. Is Thai government that broke ? It is bad enough as is with tax on items over 1500, they want to make it even worse? they worry about cheap products flooding the market ? But will tax individual parcels ? Great thinking
  13. So he was fired and charged but he does not recognise and accept it because it was not published ? Interesting that he does not mention any charges
  14. She is but reports said wealthy friend, well known local businessman owned and gave it to him free, unless there was another “twist” that I missed
  15. His rise through the ranks and fame was backed by 1 person, one who gets nice watches from dead friends. Moment that person lost power BJ started having problems. it is mind blowing how some can be that thick to think he is clean when he went from tourist police captain to LT General in a matter of a year or so, which would normally take at least a decade for anyone else. it is just as mind boggling how same people think he is clean when he has “friends” paying rent for his house and rents for his aids
