Thailand target's many things but rarely get anywhere near the bullseye, now if they targeted foot in mouth gaffes from ministers and generals they would be world class dead-eyed dicks, presently they're just dicks...

One thing about the Marriott group is the best breakfast you will ever get 

The one in Rayong has a great restaurant and the pools are awesome and much less busy than the Pattaya one, come to think of it that was one of the reasons we liked the Sea view as their pools are really good as is their beech, shame really but I personally will not reward an organisation willing to stoop to getting negative reviews jailed, then again I have a moral code I try to live by

Please tell us all how much you paid for each nite of your visit.

 

Surely you weren't paying 6,000 THB a nite.

Thee last visit would have been about 2014 and it was expensive however I was working offshore at the time and more than happy to push the boat out but no I don't think I would have been paying that much but it would have been in the 3's I think!! 

I always plan ahead and book early, for anybody interested another favourite of mine is the Marriott in Rayong again not cheap but brilliant food and you get what you pay for, I have been to enough <deleted>ty places to choose never to do that again only ever search 4 or 5 star places!

Vicha said that the reason he accepted the responsibility even though he was 74 years old was to initiate reforms in the legal system

My mum used to say if you've nothing nice to say then say nothing at all, my opinion is that's <deleted>...

I was never good with <deleted> advice so I feel it's my duty to point out this guy has enjoyed a whole lifetime of watching/enjoying corruption and personally I feel it's highly unlikely he will change

Reforms? I hope so but doubt it, more of the same hypocrisy, lying, corruption and same old <deleted> different day, on past experience that is guaranteed....

However, he was certain that the Thai legal system was the “strongest”, but the people who applied it were the problem since Thailand has nurtured nepotism for years and it had resulted in a social gap in both the economy and justice.

Anybody who says the the words 'thai legal system' and 'strongest' in the same sentence is <deleted>in deluded, 'nepotism' however fits right in...

“When 12 - and 13-year-olds march on the streets raising three-finger salutes, and adorn themselves with white ribbons all over Thailand, it shows how corrupt people with power are,” Vicha said.

This guy is in position of responsibility, I wonder what he thinks about people potentially getting jailed for 2 years because they post a negative review on a website

Wonder if anybody with even a minimal degree of intelligence believes this will make Thailand's tourist industry more appealing to the foreign market

Seriously have to question some facets of Thai society...

I have been reading since I was old enough to get a junior library card in the 1950s and apart from Angola every country I have been to/worked in I have managed to find second hand books. I have about 500 or so hard copy books that I have read and reread over the years but a few years ago I met a guy who downloaded me 165 Gb of ebooks.

 

I have been catalogueing them over the years but had to start again in 2016 when my hard drive crashed and I lost 2 years work. Fortunately the downloaded stuff was on a seperate hard drive si I started once again. I try to work for about an hour a day and so far I don't think I am even 25% finished.

 

Up to 31 December last year I had converted 4,062 authors to the Mobi format and I reckon I must have about 30,xxx books and perhaps another 50,xxx to deal with.

 

I use a Lenovo tablet to read them on using FB reader which is a good free program.

Don't know if you have tried a kindle mate but if you've not it is a revelation compared to reading on anything else, the bog standard one now is just as good as the more expensive kindle paperwhite version other than not being waterproof, plenty of free stuff available too

I would love to comment but it has all been said!

Kudos to the news team for digging up this absolute gem gotta be a major contender for topic title of the year!!!

What a mess.........  I've had so many good times in Thailand over the years and to see it all come to this is so sad for everyone.......... F^%$# Pongos........  

The British Army's lack of hygiene has got nothing at all to do with Thailand, there's been gungy pongo's since King Alfred's squabble with William the <deleted>!!!

The problem ist that they prioritize the tourists to stay in the expensive hotel first after landing.

If they really need 2 tests why don't just let tourists make test 2 times in their origin country, so if one of the tests results positive, than just prohibited them to boarding and quarantine should be in the home country.

 

Tourist could make covig test 14 days before boarding and 72 hours before boarding. That's all. Why do they change so many visa rule like a ping pong, angency, hotel list, bla bla bla... and it took so much time and cost.

There you go using that new fandangled critical thinking but you've missed the point, if they are at home there is no opportunity to fleece them

As Confusicus once said 'to think like TaT, first must remove brain'

*Just to be clear for the hard of thinking he never really said that but I reckon he should have!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Lets me get this right, in Thailand a civil servant with no medical background rewrites covid 19 quarantine regime then spouts off to the press, <deleted>......!

Anywhere other than Lieland he would be held to account here he will probably be promoted to Ai Anutin's inner circle, come to think of it he's probably less of a liability but the bar is set pretty <deleted>in low....

Genius absolute genius, bunk beds well I never!

I propose he is forwarded for a noble prize this level of forward thinking from the LoS head of Prison Service is staggering

I hope he enjoys his well earned time in the spotlight....

Good policing that, very good for the crime stats too just tell everyone what you plan to do in advance and face saved all around and no need to do that pesky work

I seem to remember on a sweep of Pattaya they found no evidence of prostitution proof positive this works but unfortunately for the rest of the world's policing it's patented by the buffoon's in brown...

Blimey Steven, I reckon you are due for an unpleasant awakening sooner rather than later...

Prayut is being lined up for a fall, hopefully for you LoS can find another dim, vain buffoon to keep the status quo and earn your unswerving love!

Actually I am certain they will same as they always do, probably an uneducated, egotistical testicle much like the last few military hard men

Unfortunately I don't think they will find a leader to bring the country out of serfdom, that has already been predetermined but you never know, I live in hope...
