  1. Not so if you are implying the police know he is there already.

    When they started with the TM30 in Chiang Mai Imm police came by my condo building and others, checking EVERY foreigner, knocking on doors, checking owner list. I wasn’t there but surrendered later to be fined after staying years in the same room (not fair but got it over with) TM30 is sorted now a requirement not to difficult for most to comply with. Intransigent landlord and Apt managers an exception. Maybe the OP should just pay. It is a one time fine and updating TM30 is a piece of cake.

    I believe Data, you have not understood the economics of such Hawker Centers in Singapore and the hardship it brings to locals opposing to the forms of street classical food which encouraged food creativity in the old days much existing in Penang, Johor as well as the non qualitative aspects.  I will not like seeing Thailand falling into the same facet as Singapore

    And Singapore used to be Malarial. No reason foods carts, culinary creativity and vendors can't coexist with pedestrians, organized, and hopefully sanitary. All of Khao San Road is to be redeveloped in such a way according to the news.

     

    How about forgetting about anarchy, idealism of  a past, which wasn't that really great for "locals" in a non-qualitative way anyway? 

     

    Join the team, jump on the bandwagon and come in for the big win! The sooner people put this "street food" nonsense behind us the better. Nobody really wants to be a street person.

  3. It wouldn't really be "street food" if they were organized into centers. That's called a market. 
    Whatever it’s called we can’t have pavements, footpaths and sidewalks blocked anymore by illegal vendors. Washing disused in buckets. No toilets. Dropping food everywhere to attract vermin. A think of the past. Bangkok is not the third world. The adventure of “street food” best left to other countries.

  4. The previous post and quote are valid but there is no definition of “living in Thailand” and people doing back to back tourists visas ARE following the law(or they are only breaking some unwritten rule).

     

    Many countries set a 6 month per year limit for tourism. Thailand should do also. Max 182 days in a row, then banned for 6 months. Then also let people allowed visa exempts to go back to using them as they are intended.

  5. Coming from the south the old hippy trail went through Singapore where they did make some get hair cuts.My favourite was that passports were allegedly stamped 
    SHIT Suspected Hippy In Transit. 

    Even visiting Japanese students in the 1980s were sometimes given forced haircuts by Singapore Immigration. In the states you could not get into Disneyland. NO LONGHAIRS!

  6. How can I tell that you in all likelihood have a tattoo and justify it with your first statement?  These simpletons are too predictable.

     

    Btw, I think you mean to say "low level of education", not "low education".  How far did you go in school again?

    I will never get a tattoo or piercing, it’s not part of MY culture where it is associated with criminality (old thinking). Multiple Masters degrees.

  7. The Hippie trail to Bangkok was on a slow boat from Calcutta to Penang. Then overland. Was Penang that last chance , to get a haircut and buy some cheap clothes, and bathe, In order to facilitate entry?

     

    Those days nobody had intricate piercings or massive tattooesa. Everybody wore sandles anyway.

     

    Singlet or waistcoat (without inner wear?)

    I thought singlet is British English for a

    sleeveless t-shirt (wifebeater) ?

     

     

  8. Good ideas are everywhere, just no interest in implementing them.
     
    Helmet laws are a good idea.
     
    Sorry, not dissing you Chip, just venting. Smearing myself all over a road here is just one of my pet peeves.

    Helmets are great when you hit a low wire on your motorcycle. Your relatives can find you head in perfect condition neatly separated from your body.

  9. 45's racism. Going once. Going twice. SOLD!

     

     

     

     

     

    Right wingers don’t think Trump is racist. They are in fact color blind. As long as the person of color follows, without exception, an extremely narrow doctrinal platform dictated as a definition of membership in the American state as they see it. Otherwise they should go back to where they came from. 

    This required orthodoxy requires strict adheramce to failed trickle down economic theory, endless war and “American Exceptionalism” homophobic nonsense disguised as religious freedom, climate science denial, and complete subjugation of women in all areas of society. For some reason even European Conservatives can’t understand America can never have a economically rational health care delivery system like every other major economy.

     

    Finally, and most critical. GUNS GUNS GUNS.

     

    Think Ben Carson, Condoleeza Rice, and Michelle Malkin.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  10. Just whose fault is it?  The driver's load, the backhoe, tore down the wires the driver was obviously not aware of his load height and/or available clearance under the wires.
     
    20,000 baht and an apology to the corpse will not make up for the 30+ years of lost income by Khun "Mot". 

    It was not the drivers fault.
    The wires have been there years at normal height.
    Looks like they were doing some work and went for lunch. No Lineman around , no warning signs at ALL.
    The wire they struck was hanging across the street at windscreen level.
  11. Ok post="14369895" timestamp="1563606954" name="prakhonchai nick" userid="34358"] Confiscate ALL vehicles, cars, trucks and motorbikes, for all motoring infractions, be it racing, speeding, no licence, no helmet etc Keep them for 1, 2 or 3 months depending on the nature of the offence, and fine the law breakers for each offence committed. Where necessary suspend the licence (where there is one) or prevent one being issued for a suitable time.
     
    Separate a boy or man from his vehicle, and they will soon learn the rules of the road.

    On the third offense crush the vehicles in a giant hydraulic press, charge the owners’ family an “environmental fee”. If they don’t pay dump the wreckage in front of their house.
