    There have been several proposals to move the capital to Nakhon Nayok dating back a long time. 

     

    Here's one from 6 years ago but the proposal was put forward a lot further back than that.

    Thaksin wanted to study to built a new capital already in 2003... 22 years later nothing, really nothing has happened. And do they really believe that Suvarnabhumi will be spared?? It is built on a swamp already....

    Yes they talk, but don't do anything...It will take years to create a new capital, and if we all see how slowly they are on Rama II road it will take even several decades to make it, but Thailand never thinks ahead, only when their are getting wet they will take action, far too late.. And than we don't even talk about the coast resorts of Pattaya, Hua Hin, Cha Am Pranburi etc...I am living about 15km from the sea, but I told my partner, maybe we will get a house on the beach after several years

    This has nothing to do with the time bars close. These are youth gangs. It does have a lot to do with how the kids are raised and what morals and values were taught to them as well as their lack of discipline. What youths were allowed out at 3am in your home city? This is ridiculous. Why the parents are not held accountable as well. 

    First of all the night is for bad ones... if the entertainment venues close at 1.00 am a lot less will happen, I know you will agree with that. Secondly indeed the parents, but if the parents think they are more than the lower class the kids will act the same.. I am more important than you, my father/mother is high ranked so nothing can touch me... and so on.. and the parents have the same attitude,, Do you know who I am?? Besides that how can people raise and educate people as the most parents did not get any education when they were young.. In Thailand nobody can say anything about anyone here, so in fact everybody can do as they want, Parents have to work, drop their kids by brothers/sisters/grandparents... In the Western world parents work too, but they raise their own kids... Here not..and with a lack of enforcement any law bij the RTP these things are happening.. and the parents will tell the RTP: they are young, I can't control them, I didn't know, same as in traffic accidents.. a lack of responsibility

  4. There is a difference between complaining and address issues....In the Western world we are allowed to discuss topics, as here in Thailand the same discussions always are being seen as complaining... An example was that in school we were with other teachers talking about the coming English Camp and how to deal with the kids, but a Thai English teachers told us that we were complaining again, but we just discussed some issues of the previous English Camp and how we could improve the problems we got there. Just to say

  5. Thai Buddhism not Theravada Buddhism, but a mix of several religions.... In the real Buddhism monks throw away their money when they go into the monastery, here in Thailand they do the same, but with other hands they will receive a lot of money from the lay people for praying at many occasions. Result is that most monks have good filled bankaccounts. I have seen several monks in Thailand smoking, although for monks it s not done, we have read many times that traffic offenders or other culprits entered the monkhood for penance for the wrong doings.. So instead of going to jail, they are being treated with all respect, although they sometimes seriously injured or killed someone... There are  a lot of monks now it seems that don't live without sex too... All give the monkhood and Buddhism in Thailand a bad name and I hear from people that they stopped giving alms to monks and temples, because so many problems nowadays.. I think it is time for the board of Buddhism in Thailand to stop this by making being a monk an exclusive profession.. which means that in fact only kids can grow to monks in a temple and all other should have flawless state of living.

  6. There are just too many holidays in Thailand.... How can people ever go every time somewhere?? The holidays could be halved without problems.. but as long as a holiday on a weekend day is seen as work, and therefor substitute days off need to be given, there will be no change .. This month Asaharn Buccha and Kao Pan Sa this Thursday and Friday is a 4 day holiday... The Kings Birthday is the next fo a 3 day holiday as 28 July is a substitute holiday...  And that is almost every month

  7. Who cares??? I live in a little, small Soi and everyday M.1 kids are speeding here in the soi to visit a friend, same age 12, 13 yrs old. speeding with no helmet and no clue what they are doing and really nobody is doing anything.. not the parents of the kids, not the police. nobody... I am waiting till something happen... It will not be if, but when... They are too stupid and they learn now to do things which result in accidents as these. 

     

    Maybe extra information, 2 years a go the elder brother of the boy who these motor crazy kids are coming to visit died on his motorcycle, so I suppose reason enough to be careful
