  1. They were banned from putting up checkpoints during COVID. They are back now around the Pattaya area, but now have to be done more officially in most places. Tourists are still fair game for extortion in central Pattaya though.
  2. That's a lot of money to waste, and syphon off into greedy, deep pockets.
  3. Any luxury goods including liquor will probably be much more expensive in Thailand that anywhere else.
  4. I actually do think that. I have lived here 33 years and ain't no way some greenhorn expat knows anything about Thailand.
  5. A journalist and a health and safety professional as well. Any exposed end of wire rope or cable is a safety concern. So who is going to take responsibility for this incident? Nobody as usual I suppose.
  6. Of course, no updates. Wouldn't want to get tangled in their own lies now, would they?
  7. I am wondering if anyone has had any issues entering Thailand obtaining a Thai visa or entering Thailand on a Principality of Sealand Passport? I also have a UK passport and I can use that one if necessary, but I prefer to travel as a Sealander. Thanks in advance.
  8. They are Thai, cannot stand criticism and they must brag at every opportunity.
  9. Thai buys successful business for $20m. Just over a year later the company is bankrupt owing $12m+
  10. Indeed. I didn't do a tax return last year either, it is due annually in June I believe, so I was a few months overdue. I paid 25k to my accountant to sort it all out, and had an outstanding tax bill of 60k, which has now turned into a rebate of 120k, so I am OK with that! As you state there was a 400thb fine for filing late, paid to the Amphur. Those bringing money into the country thinking that they can just keep quiet and that they won't be affected by this may be unpleasantly surprised.
  11. Biggest Mafioso (allegedly) and convicted felon now has a ministerial position in this government. Is he under investigation?
  12. Don't know but it has always been the case that if you made it to the airport and were waiting on a flight, you were home and hosed. Not now the case apparently and arresting folk at the airport is a dog's act.
  13. They are not that fast. Top out at 160km/h and 0 to 100 in 7.3 secs according to Google. I test drove one for a laugh recently, and the new Seal… both handle like a bucket of sh*te on a roller-skate. The Seal marginally better, and it was the top of the range one and much faster than the Atto. Thailand is ill-prepared for these rapid electric vehicles. Fatalities on the road will increase as a result no doubt. They need to throw the book at the driver though. RIP to the deceased couple.
  14. No doubt, but they will certainly be aware of what is going on in the South of Thailand.
  15. Nor does actually being able to do the job, or experience in the industry.
