Back in the day in Issan the truck used to come to the village and villagers pointed out the strays to the man who collected said stray/nuisance dogs. Villagers were given plastic goods by the nice dog man. Dogs went on trip to Vietnam. Result: everybody happy.

Where does it say that Mr Tony was drunk?

Not true. Mossies from different continents carry different diseases.

With a few exceptions the expert economists on here seem to think that Thaksin is proposing an immediate rise in the minimum wage. It's clear that his proposal is to phase this in over 8 years. This is doable. I remember in UK Blair's proposal for a minimum wage was met with howls of derision from the negative right wing mob. Today, despite employers having to pay a fair wage the UK enjoys full employment. Go figure.

So you have to take your eyes off the road to look at a tv screen in order to drive safely? Hmm.........

You had to shoehorn your hatred of Thaksin into a post about the future of Thailand. Apart from (allegedly) a couple of visits to CM the guy has been gone for 14 yrs. Get over it. The lives of farang living here in Thaksin's days were not really adversely affected yet a few get really red in the face when he is mentioned. A bit like the gammon in UK banging on about "Commie Labour!". Cue........"What about 'his' extra judicial killings?"

What's YOUR record for the most refusals from a Thai cabby?

Never had a problem with Bangkok taxis. Many of those who complain, and I know a few, have an attitude problem. Yes, I've been ignored by taxis in the street in the rain but hey.....pop in a bar till rain stops. Now, if anyone needs an example of bad taxi drivers, look no further than Pukhet -
Bet that went over many heads.

Simply writing about a handful of towns and the way you sensed the locals felt towards you is unhelpful subjectivity. No mention of Korat, Surin, Si Sa Ket, Burirum and many more.

Not in U.K. Driving licences were valid until age 70 then renewed on application.

Ok I geddit: we're guests here as so many posters remind us but hey, it may be their country but it's our world. Many travellers have imparted knowledge to poor countries by way of technology, civil engineering and helped rid countries of dictatorship. Not saying this guy went about it the right way but to blithely trot out the old "we're only guests" line is to perpetuate the status quo whereby nothing changes.
