  1. I find the concept that you "don't understand " why tourists wish to behave any differently on holiday than they would at home to be deeply disturbing too , especially the fact that you would seek to limit their activities and bring them into line with restrictions in your home country, Where ever that might be Would you agree if a Saudi Arabian made such a statement ? To suggest that allowing night clubs to open to 4am is akin to Thailand "selling its soul" is indicative of your ignorance of Thailand and nearly as laughable as your assertion that the revenue from tourism benefits only a minority <deleted>. ? Obviously you would prefer that Covid restrictions are reintroduced and that "other" people should generally be discouraged from visiting in order that your "friends and family " may feel less uncomfortable, MIght I suggest, that rather than allowing or hoping for the continuing decimation of the tourist industry here, your friends and family might like to consider visiting another country more appropriate for their sensitivities North Korea springs to mind, not to many farangs there I would imagine How on earth is being Thai in either Pattaya or Phuket equivalent to being "second class" (whatever that actually means)
  2. These "prominent" doctors no doubt also agree with charging tourists a premium for the second rate medical treatment they may require. They were probably involved in the proposals, Another "great" idea that may not guarantee "the boosting of the economy" or indeed further their desire to become a medical hub
  3. Feeling that way when leaving a bar alone could be symptoms of sex addiction, maybe one of those "doctors" could help you
  4. Not to mention a few members of this forum who seem obsessed about placing restrictions on other peoples activities,
  5. I have never been asked for any letter from the embassy, but I'm curious to know what they could or would write, that would influence an immigration officers decision regarding the granting of an extension for covid , Particularly as one of the forms has a box to tick when such a letter is not available
  6. Some people who visit Thailand may include a trip to one or two "famous" wats as part of their itinerary. but to suggest that people come here solely for that purpose is pure fantasy. There may well be 30000+ wats in Thailand however 29990+ wats are totally unremarkable and are not worth looking at. The closing time of nightclubs has no bearing on people who wish to visit wats If lack of beauty sleep is your concern suggest you try sleeping in a hotel close to a Wat and see what time your beauty sleep gets interrupted. You may start to think that wats should be restricted from banging gongs and chanting and wailing , until a more civilised time, to enable people on holiday to enjoy a lie in
  7. Well the first Quack is "secretary of the don't drive drunk campaign" so he is just justifying his position and his no doubt generous fees, The second Quack is trying to continue scaring us whilst at the same time highlighting his continuing "covid concerned" status media profile in the mistaken belief that anybody cares anymore
  8. If you have High limescale content in your water avoid Black tiles, try to find a colour that is not spoiled too much by a bit of limescale staining which will happen , no matter how hard you scrub them , and no matter what cleaning solution you use
  9. no problems in Surin at Kapchoeng last week, service with a big smile and 60 days added on the spot They even filled the forms in for me I actually quite enjoy going there

  11. Will there be a sub-sub -law for the owners of pickups who have had the doors and windows removed and the original engine replaced with a 10hp single cylinder kubota diesel engine ? there's a lot of those where I live
  12. The word "cab" often used in the names given to these vehicles does imply they are intended for passengers, They are not that much different than a small 2 door car
  13. is that actually an official manufacturers' description or just a phrase the authorities here have dreamed up? I'm sure I have seen seat belts in the back of some 2 door pick ups but they may have been fitted afterwards by the owner , do they even have "mounting points"
  14. its ok you've convinced me lol but the drunk cop who pulls you over might not agree so easily. Although if you argue with him for long enough he might eventually change his mind
  15. Well I don't enjoy a glass of wine but have no problem with those that do . The problem I have with alcohol is the people who develop a problem with it ( by that I mean triggering various forms of anti social behaviour ) all generally people who think they can drink more to alleviate their symptoms, that doesn't work very well either does it ? How pray tell to we know what "category" a new user of Alcohol will be in ? A wife beater ? A violent thug? a Bed wetter ? a Drink driver , or maybe an arrogant bore ? Why are you not aware of the fact that it is forbidden for those under a certain age ?
  16. So you smoked a little bit of weed, and couldn't handle it, that seems to be quite a common experience shared by the more vocal opponents, then you read a book and impressed yourself by learning a few mew words that for same reason you think I find challenging lol i'm guessing you actually had to look them up ! Most people would have just stopped at that point . But for some reason known only to yourself, you have chosen to continue your philanthropic research by questioning all the depressed people you meet! Magistrates as far as I and most others are concerned fall into one category,that of the arrogant self- righteous type, who consider themselves superior to, and fit to pass judgement upon others,. Indeed the fact that somebody considers themselves worthy of this position is the prime reason why their application should be rejected. How many cannabis users did you sentence to community service "for their own good and the good of society" during your cannabis induced depression ? "giving a little back to society" ? Hah,! massaging your own ego would be a more accurate description. On the occasions when I have found myself on the wrong end of the justice system, I was lucky , in that the severity of the allegations actually meant that people like you were not considered fit to pass judgement on me I , On the advice of my solicitor I elected for crown court where I was tried and following the directions of a proper Judge acquitted , You are not a magistrate in Thailand Regardless of what you think, you are in fact no different to me or the the rest of the people that your type despise .
  17. And also solely responsible for the unfounded and irrational concerns of non users today. amazing really
  18. are you suggesting that 20 years of cannabis use results in addiction to crack cocaine?
  19. I think its intentionally totally ambiguous somebody suggested that the "cargo rear" was the space immediately behind the driver, it could easily be argued that it refers to the normally uncovered area at the rear of the vehicle, Like wise "cargo bed" bed as in flat bed wagon, or bed as in where somebody might sleep such as the small rear seat in a 2 door. Either way, they have got you On the other hand it might just be very poor translation. One thing is for certain, if it is rigorously enforced it will be the cause of some major inconveniences for a lot of already fed up people,
  20. I doubt insurance companies have ever payed out for any of the above they are never ones to miss a chance to discharge their own liabilities All new cars manufactured in the last 30 years or so would have been fitted with rear seatbelts as standard, If you have been in a taxi without rear belts then they must have been removed, Why would they do that ??
