My question was about getting rid of the party hardy guys that roam around Phuket, which these 5 Frenchmen were probably doing to run a police checkpoint. I am just guessing they were partying, maybe they were going to church in a hurry. I live in Phuket and there are so many pot shops it is unbelievable. Some open 24 hours a day. And you can't buy booze 24 hours a day can you? Just in Rawai on Sai Yuan Road, I counted about 30 in a short drive. So yes, drugs and alcohol control are relevant to the story because these guys were "probably" imbibing in something. Now I am not saying I'm against weed, but it definitely contributes to the mayhem that is prevalent in Phuket right now. In my humble opinion.

Thank Mr Anutin for that. His pockets are still full.

no. It was just a question. I was just curious.

Thanks. I've been wondering about that. BTW, I thought weed was going to be reclassified by Jan 1, 2025 so these party hardy guys would hopefully go away.

Two years ago I went to buy one an all sold out. Including Lazada. Last year I bought one early. Very sad.

And all other major newspapers around the world.

He should have stopped. The payment to the motor bike guy would be a lot less than what he faces now. Motor bike guy didn't seem to be injured too bad and the cost to fix up the bike not too costly. Maybe the car driver had other illegal issues. We will never know because there is never any followup story.

Or black. Who drives those monster cars. They are as big as an airplane container.

Little Miss Muffet should have driven through the terrible stop & go traffic in Cherng Talay and then headed down to the traffic clogged Chalong Circle and tried to navigate Rawai to see what Phuket traffic is really like, instead of sitting in a meeting. They keep building and building in Rawai, but no traffic "plan". Not a comprehensive development plan. Just a wish list. A plan has actual realistic goals and objectives with defined and measurable actions. As outlined below. . A goal is an achievable outcome that is generally broad and longer term while an objective is shorter term and defines measurable actions to achieve an overall goal. While different, the two terms are often used in unison when working on a project. This is because both are essential to planning and executing a project.

Good point. Where are the other 17 million tourists coming from? The numbers don't add up. But they never do, do they?

And if you shop at Lotus and don't have one of those member cards your receipt is printed out at the bottom that you are a tourist. Today I looked at the bottom of my receipt and it shows that I'm Russian (NOT). I always tell the cashier I'm not a tourist but they don't do anything. Interesting, I wonder what their marketing department does with THAT information.

Agreed. My dad wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to be president, but that didin't happend.

Is there a follow up story? Most of the time there isn't but you seem to know something.

My neighbor is a taxi driver. She is excellent. I use her from time to time here is Phuket. Maybe I pay a little more than the "cheaper" apps, but I can count on her 100%. Hard working and extremely nice. They are not all a-holes, just hard working. Communication is usually the problem.

We can only hope. 😂
