Bill Heinecke: "Crazy to give vaccines to tourists"
paul1804 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Making statements like this I think this guy wants to become a Thai politician!!! He certainly has some of the right credentials to not look out of place as it were!! -
Is there any country on the planet where there is no prostitution, I doubt there is even though many countries try and claim there is none. Its the oldest profession so get real, Thailand would have to be one of the largest prostitution hubs on the planet and its not going away any time soon so make it legal and support it.

Horrific death of 11 in passenger van crash in Thailand
paul1804 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have often said the Thai Department of Transport really needs to teach its citizens how to drive properly, the driving test here is a joke. They must learn and obey road rules, the lane marker lines painted on the roads mean nothing, they dont stop at pedestrian crossings, they pull out in front of you on a highway, they stop in front of you on the highway to let another driver enter which disrupts the main traffic flow and causes congestion and accidents. Roundabouts are complete chaos, they have no idea or training on this yet roundabouts are so practical. Motor bikes are the biggest offenders, no helmets, 3 on a bike, pull onto a main road with not so much as a glance left, weave in and out of traffic, drive on the wrong side of the road because they would like to turn right up the road somewhere, It is an appalling situation and really needs to be addressed by the authorities. I wonder why Thais drivers, especially motor bikes have no sense of self preservation?? Having a drivers license is a privilege and road rules should be learnt and obeyed, not taken for granted. When I sat for my Thai drivers license I watched a movie for about 40 minutes, I was the only Farang and watched the entire rediculous movie while the other 20 or so who were all Thai's slept! So I am not surprised when I see the road accident statistics here, it is very sad and the outcome of an irresponsible road transport department. -
When Will All These Annoying Tourists <deleted> Off ?
paul1804 replied to NickyLouie's topic in Pattaya
There are approx. 70 millions Thais and probably several million migrant workers so thats a lot of mouths to feed, how else would they earn a living if there were no tourists? This is a major tourist destination so if you are not happy with that I suggest you move else where, I hear Burma is pretty quiet right know, also Laos as long as you dont mind lots of Chinese!! -

And where would you find any accurate & truthful information about Chinese tourists visiting Thailand ?? -
More than 5M Chinese Visitors expected in Thailand next year

The overwhelming majority of the Chinese we get here dont spend !!! They come on Chinese charter flights, stay & eat in prepaid & mostly Chinese owned establishments etc etc. -

With Chinas current internal monetary issues I would think there wont be anywhere like the numbers of Chinese travelling as they were pre covid. Maybe the rich ones that do spend when they travel but the package tours that were coming to Thailand didnt spend here anyway so it wont make much difference whether they come or not. Seven 11, the roadside mobile kitchens and any Chinese owned restaurant or hotel where they had prepaid in China may miss them but for main stream operators it makes little difference. The more that do come just means more people spitting & littering in the streets!!! -
Well if it lost power and or listed really badly given the sea conditions it would be quite a task to keep it pointing into the wind ( direction of waves ) After loosing generator power they would have no chance in the conditions in the Gulf last night and no generator means no pumps sufficient enough to cope with a huge water intake. There should be an engine driven pump also but with Thai mainetance standards were they serviceable?? Mother nature can be cruel on those with incompetence !!

So now you are discovering the real reason the Chinese are in Thailand. Wakey wakey Thailand, the Chinese have an agenda and its not what you think. Dont let the corrupt Thai officials try and make you believe otherwise as the Chinese have an even bigger appetite for a quick buck than Thais do and thats saying something !!

Whilst no one has the moral right to beat another to death the deceased has himself to blame, firstly stealing & then refusing medical help. Sure it certainly sounds like the property owner used excessive force so there has to be a case to answer for but he didnt kill the guy or intend to. Maybe the stealing has been a regular occurrence and the owner has had enough !!

Red Bull case: Former senior prosecutor discharged from service
paul1804 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Reading many comments here and agree when it comes to certain things brown envelopes can work in the favour of both sides but when some little S head kills an innocent policeman and is allowed to walk due to his ability to produce very fat envelopes and high ranking officials tamper or with hold evidence etc thats where it exceeds anything thats fair or reasonable !! -
Red Bull case: Former senior prosecutor discharged from service
paul1804 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Another pathetic joke!! -
As unacceptable as this type of behaviour is I don't see why this topic should be headline news, it is because the guy is a foreigner. If it was a Thai guy it wouldn't even make the back page! Maybe Thais feel foreigners should know better and rightly so but sadly domestic violence is very common globally!! Yes woman invented the word "BITCH" and "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" but nobody has the right to beat their girlfriend or boyfriend!!
