What value do these actually have aside from their age? They ain't even that old either.... Historical significance? Carved by someone famous? They look like tourist trinkets from the period Mr. Upton's father visited. Similar to the wooden junk available on lower Sukhumvit or Beach Road Pattaya nowadays. On the bright side, maybe those wooden croaking frogs or coke can tuk-tuks you bought while on holiday will be regarded as culturally significant in 100 or so years.

Golly gosh! Thais lying to cover up their inadequacies? Say it ain't so.

Beat me to it.

Children do the same until properly reprimanded and punished.

They've been in power for a lot longer than that. Elected administrations are merely a sham here to appease Western investors. We know exactly who runs this place and how.

It was another lie to get his nose in the trough. The current mob are way worse than the ones they illegally removed in the name of fighting corruption.

Yet they are queuing up to join the Police force to be recipients of those "slave labour wages". Go figure.

Telling the truth is antithetical to what their culture demands unfortunately. Lie, obfuscate, lie some more, feign ignorance... Anything but man up and take responsibility.

It's like dealing with pre-teen children that have been caught being naughty. Really.

Siam Seeds are decent, based in Pattaya/Chonburi but only online, don't have a store as far as I know. Google for their website.

The owner of Ganjawitch franchise drives a big black Mercedes, as I saw him in the one off Beach Road when it opened. It has a personalised 420 number plate as well. ????

Siam Seeds have Girl Scout Cookies thin mint pheno from San Fransisco which is the original GSC strain. Little bit more expensive at 290thb per gram but it is the original. They also give freebies with every order. I got some OG Kush free from them in the last order.

He is truly a man of the people then.

I drive daily in Pattaya and I see cars not stopping at red lights for pedestrian crossings on a regular basis. Is it getting better? Not in my experience. In fact I would suggest driving standards and behaviour are actually getting worse. Impressive that you took the time to actually photograph traffic to prove your point though, give yourself a big pat on the back. ????

That would involve real work. Not gonna happen.

The franchise which is more or less a pyramid scheme in itself, could not function otherwise.

Comparing Sat Divers to rec dive trainers on holiday islands is apples to oranges. I know several sat divers still working offshore including North Sea and not one of them has what I would consider to be a 'drink problem'.

Paramedics? You mean volunteer rescuers like Por Teck Tung or Soriwong Boriboon? ???? A diver medical is a requirement to work anywhere in the World as a diver. Maybe not here but this is the muppet show.

I extend that to the whole country, sorry to have to say that.

Depends how deep ya go but yeh.

Doesn't look too much different from many of the houses i have visited in Thailand. ???? The two worst of all belonged to farangs, before anybody starts.

Muslims who don't want it known they are out in Pattaya at 1:30am?

From how my friend described, it they are fully dressed as Police officers, on Police bikes and with their lights on through traffic.

None of which would pass modern safety standards.

At the same time the RTP were allegedly stealing the donated charity money.
