  1. when there was a coup there were less days of emergency decree
  2. The only way to attrack the tourists again is being a welcoming country.. Stop with the restictions on alcohol... educate for friendly immigration, stop double pricing, don't chase foreigners on motorcycles for not wearing helmets/driverslicense/masks and all that kind of stuff but treat them as guest, which doesn't mean that they also must follow the law, but it seems that the police like to fine and blame foreigners for everything. And make the country safer in travelling, robbing tourists And for long stayers.. easy visa rules as no 90 days report anymore, no worpermit for volunteer work, etc...
  3. with more than 200 protesters in jail for section 112 caused by the emergency decree, he should be ashamed. The person himself said that section 112 did not need to be enforced but this Government doesn't care and use it to silence people. And rubbish to blame the few thousand cases of Covid to keep the emergency decree.. The Governmern is and was never honest, lies and controls the media, and freedom of speech by this decree. They want tourists, but with the possibility that everything can change immediately they will not come
  4. It depends on what is seen as corruption.. A fine with a ticket of 500 THB or without a ticket for 300 THB..... Is that corruption??? Paythe police to do a proper investigation, or they don't it and let it go... as we noticed that in a motoraccident someone died and the police asked for 100.00 THB to investigate the case, but the people did not have the money so standard nothing was investigated as only speeding and an accident occured... It happens all over Thailand and I am sure that in many places the police is being paid for things, as gambling dens, karaoke bars with extras, and drugs..... We have to live with it I think
  5. He said out of experience.... ?????
  6. No body anymore so there is no proof to find anymore some one else could done it... Same as in Kao Tao... Than I am wondering why a artist is kept for months in the morgue after she fell from a boat.... Smelly
  7. sitting with crossed legs was not good for the space as they wrote a few weeks back and now the long hair....but indeed the loud conversations on the phones.. That is annoying.
  8. Correction it is only 1 man who does it....... and he is not popular for the Thai people....
  9. I thought we lived in more or less civilised country , not in middle of the bushes somewhere in in Africa where they have sjamans and local wizards... Why do people believe in this kind of non-sense
  10. I know .... And I was in the board of a charity society and I know it often worse than is showed and I am from a rich country. But even in my country there was and I speak of more than 25 years ago already people with almost no money for food. But nowadays let us be fair, people want to have , have , and have and buy a bigger house, more luxury car and than they come in the problems .. I worked in the bank for 26 years I know. I can tell stories enough and believe me in Thailand it is even worse.. Outside must be beautiful bit behind the door .......
  11. always speeding, no idea of a braking distancing, no attention for other people on the road. Sadly another victim , which was not necessary. It seems that drivers can not slow down ever.. in a car or motorcycle it is always fast and faster, no distance at other vehicles.. seems they like to push you from the road. Look on Tv, the news, every day you see even on the road by yourself.. Never a car will slow down, but drives like nothing to see on the road.. You need a doctor certificate for a drivers license, but they could better do a mental test
  12. Of course if you say something to a Thai and he doesn't like it or even look at someone you can have a problem. Thai people are never to blame, It is sad that these things happen surely because the country needs tourists, robberies, fighting and that kind of things willnever do any good for tourist industry. I don't know wha happened and whatever it was, but it is just a general opinion , as I have similar experiences, but never fought happily
  13. I am sure there is hunger in Thailand in some families. I noticed when I was in school there were kids who never had a breakfast, but most of the times families who are very poor don't say it and nobody knows it. It is a false shame to be poor not only in Thailand but all over the world, even in western countries. A good example was the help with the Covid how many people needed and were waiting for food. Shameful for the super rich that this still is possible in the 21st century
  14. It just depends on how your are living.. I prefer a short good life better than a long life.. My father died of a heartattack 65, as my grandfather and my greatgrandfather at 56.... My mother died at 64 of cancer as my grandmother of father side at 67, but my grandmother on motherside died at 91 but was many years Alzheimer and laid in bed as a baby...I am the oldest man in the famiy and I am 63.... Doctors can't say what will happen.. I have only high bloodpressure and an enlarged prostate.. But I don't want to be old with Alzheimer or die of cancer.. There is one thing sure in life .. we have to die.. than better quality of life than length
  15. iN Phetchaburi not allowed in Prachuap allowed in Samut Prakan not allowed... What mess it will be
  16. Restaurants and tourist attractions may also sell alcohol during the extended period, at the provincial governor’s discretion, the minister said. So in every province or maybe every bar / restauarant a different permission.. Deends on the mood and the envelops the governor gets???? If this Government can't make clear decisions for the cuntry but give the responsibilty always to te Governors.. Why do we need a Government than??? It should be clear for all and everywhere..... Lifted for everyone or no lifting at all
  17. I get a deja vu of the Kao Tao murders of Burma.....My first question is .. why would he murder the victim??.. Who has given the dog to the monk? If the mother and some one else were stealing from the victim, why not investigate deeper?? Who was JJ meeting ??? And why are there always spirits involved??? I don't believe the Lithaunian man did it.... just because there was no motive as the family would have a motive as their son would move away and they could not steal from him anymore .... as the article says
  18. It would be better to close the entertainment venue at 1.am, Thai people can't drink they only pour in till they are drunk. Alcohol and driving doesn't go together and with bars open to 2. am the problem only get worse... Tired,drunk and than go home.... Why are there so many accidents in the early morning??? My brother in law is a driver.. He can drive from Bangkok to Trang and back in one time and while he has to wait to he will drink a few beers....So tired, alcohol, and he doesn't wear glasses but his sight is getting worse...Just waiting till something happens I suppose and how many others don't do the same?
  19. The headline should not be : Alcohol sales ban lifted between 2pm-5pm. That is misleading It should be " Tourist hotels can sell alcohol between 2pm and 5 pm.. And how about restaurants?? Why make so much news out of nothing?? Lift the whole ban all over Thailand and that would be real news
  20. Still the stupid mask wearing... So outdoors no problem, but in a shoppingmall ,crowded bar/restaurant, club, you have to wear it??? Why not let the people decide to wear it where and when . If they feel safer with a mask they can do but no obligation.. Probably only reason to keep the maskwearing for the protests to control....
  21. No wonder.. In Phetchaburi Bigc they sell tickets for 90 THB each 2 for 190 THB and 5 for 600THB.. So the more you buy the more expensive the ticket get.. No wonder people don't want to buy anymore at sellersat these prices . People should not pay more than 80 THB and if sellers sell them for more.. don't buy them let them keep them...
  22. Wait a minute.. we legalize cannabis, thane we put and age limit to it, than we forbid tourists to bring it/or maybe use it, but when there is a full moon party you use as much as you want, and grow at home if you have permission without any check ever....and surely it is forbidden in schools. But we freed already inmates who were punished for it So confusing..... Would it not be better to scap the legalization and do a proper investigation, than a good education for the people and than legalize it??? Or just as in the Netherlands.. Go to a coffeeshop who has a license .........
  23. Maybe a much better plan was to let the police work in shifts 24hrs a day instead from 8.00 to 17.00
  24. That is the first time that I read minimal education for Thais people...Thailand is proud on its non fail education program, and pretend to have the best students ...so how would they explain this???
