QR Codes Debut for Taxis: Track, Report & Estimate Fares
They should start at Suvarnabhumi airport. The last two times I ws there I took the ticker for the "official taxi" downstairs at lower lever. When entering the taxi the scams already start. "700 to center ok?". I said no I want the meter both times and both times the driver was fuming mad. Mind you, this is the official taxi at the airport. If they cannot control these taxi drivers, any other attempt to futile.

The story about that Valium is maybe the most freighting of all.

Foreigners rally against BBC's ‘Thailand: the dark side’ doc
Due to the backlash, decided to watch this and found there was absolutely nothing inaccurate. The only thing I would say is it focused on Moon Party and Phuket so obviously its not representative of all of Thailand. That said, these places are where a lot if not most visitors come to visit. I had to laugh when the Real Estate women showed a highest of the high end dream house in the country and says "obviously Thailand is not a 3rd World Country" or "the Dangers of Thailand". Maybe not but one house does not make the case. Probably I would give the film another title like "some things you maybe didn't know about Thailand". The criticisms of the presenter really wanting to paint an ugly picture of Thailand are real unfounded. I wont develop the laundry list here but she could have easily done so if that was her objective.

Knifing Soi 80 Hua Hin
Thats interesting. There were a lot of witnesses. I even have photos which I am reluctant to share in the website as they are horrid. I guess we can surmise the reason why nothing has surfaced.

Knifing Soi 80 Hua Hin
Last Saturday evening, there was a young Thai girl working at a bar on Soi 80 in Hua Hin that had her throat slit by a Farang (I was told European or American). This is a 100% factually true story because I know someone that happened to be in a nearby bar that witnessed the aftermath. I cannot find a news story. Has anyone read anything about this incident?

Why do people hate golf?
Golf is ok. I'll take Squash or Racquetball any day of the week over golf. Much more fun and a far better work out.
