What are you guys moaning about? In the USA dentist are booked up for 3-4 weeks and often months ahead of time....And your already out 50-75 dollars just to walk in their office....Not to mention the $$$$$ costs of treatment.....

Great post......Some guys here just cant seem to get that many laws and rules and codes are very flexible here depending on which way the wind is blowing and the mood of the person interpreting the rules on that day.... Unlike in the West where Tax rules are carved in stone..

So has everyone been enjoying their shadeless afternoon walks along beach road..

One way to clean your ears out is unscrew the shower head you use to shower with....This will leave a nice concentrated stream of water from the hose... Make sure the water pressure in not to high.....Then spray the water into your inner ear......You can clean very deep in your ear this way...

Well if non filing is a crime then well over half the entire Thai population need to be put in Jail.....

You guys act like the Thai government is working very hard to dot every I and cross every T on this tax matter....lol.....Based on past performance on a long long list of other things they most likely are hopelessly lost in this very complex tax swamp... They have shown countless times they very very much like things unclear and not defined...This serves the brown envelope brigade quite well concerning all sorts of legal matters..

This is a almost great picture ( if it was not blurry) but anyways just look at all those lights FLOODING the beach with that harsh lighting......Yuck...

I bet there are 10s of millions of Thais who make over 60-120K baht who have never filed taxes once...

I would love to hear the discussions with the Japanese, Chinese,Indians,Russians and a whole bunch of other non Thai and barely any English speaking nationalities..

Its not just they ruined the beach in the day times but they covered the beach with those heavy duty floodlights....The same kind they use in prison yards....To say these lights are a ambiance killer is a understatement.. The very very very very best time at the beach is just as the sun is setting and before the bloody floodlights kick in.....Maybe 30 minutes a day....

I have not been to dental school but I have watched a few you-tube videos and I work real cheap.......Give it some thought....

What I learned from reading this is it gives me a headache.... How people can sit in a office all day reading piles of pages of this legalese I will never know...

Yep.....The ladies go to the beach same as before but now they are only a little less comfortable.........And what did this cost?.....Over the last 10 years they have spent over 2 Billion baht yes I said Billion ......To make ladies a little less comfortable...

Yes the seating removal and tree cutting is a world wide epidemic.....Its not only happening in Pattaya...

Almost no one goes to HOT Pattaya beach anymore Sunrise to Sunset 365 days a year...Go there any day of the week except festival days.....There are almost no people there ......I challenge anyone here to go see for yourself....

Get real man.....The complaints and anger from both Thai and farang alike have been deafening about what they have done to the beach for a good decade now.......They simply dont care what anyone thinks they will move their clear cut shade-less seat-less agenda ahead at any cost......Opinions dont matter..

This is exactly what needs to happen.....The Entire walkway needs to be napalmed then bulldozed, cleared of everything except the few remaining shade trees and rebuilt again from bare dirt.....Its the only way to make things nice again..

You hit the nail on the head here......But they are mostly just following their marching orders from above...

Not really......Its about funneling people into the new Neo-Pattaya / agenda 21 / a technocracy where there is no place for nature...

Sir wrong you are....Pattaya beach WILL be restored to look like the photos above...One day the evil doers who are responsible for Pattayas beach destruction will be gone......Maybe 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 or more years the nasty crew will be gone......And the whole disgusting beach as it is now can be ripped out and some thing beautiful will be built......

Yes this was the excuse for the destruction....But considering 3 lanes merge into 2 before walking street the 3rd lane is pretty much useless......The truth of the matter is the 3rd lane was only built so they could cut the trees as they wanted to do...

Thanks for the lovely pictures....This park and walkway are a dream come true. Simply fantastic....The way Pattaya beach use to be...

It all depends on the tooth for root canal pricing....For a front tooth you might pay only 7-8 thousand baht if you look around for a crown root canal its 11-13 thousand........But still way way way less than USA prices....

I just had a root canal done on a molar one week ago....And the cost was 12,000 baht with 2 appointments....The root canal was filled....And that was it....A crown is not needed on a molar root canal in most cases....Its a waste of money and time and purpose... I have a whole mouth full of crowns and root canals....So I know what I am talking about....Molars are strong enough just with a filling provided they are next to other teeth and not standing alone or in too terrible of shape with massive decay...

I would say the number of people who have 80,000 dollars a year in passive income are very few in number.....Heck I have a friend who had a good government job in the USA and he only gets a pension of 50,000 dollars a year....Even with Social Security he still does not get 80,000 dollars a year... No wonder they have only issued 5500 LTRs.........What is that like 2% of all expats? What were they thinking that expats would have 80,000 dollars a year appear from nowhere....
