  1. There should be rules for the decibels but with no enforcement nothing will work. Noise is too loud everywhere in Shopping malls/ supermarkets like Big C and Lotus's, many speakers screaming with as an extra a background music that belongs in a club, temples, outside parties that you can hear several kilometers from home, in cars driving around with commercials or private cars with boxes that are so loud that they never can hear a ambulance, schools and announcements of the amphur by radio and of course the karaoke bars and other entertainment venues, they want to open till 4 am but first they should be ready with all the rules of noise, checking age and alcohol stop for people who are drunk already. It is their responsibility in fact, but nobody cares about anything
  2. If there are no enforcements there is no effect. Severe punishment as revoking licenses and high fines will stop the overcharging much better. Tourists have no clue because who is going to inform them in time?
  3. Tomorrow is the 1st of March not the 1st of April... Ridiculous story
  4. In fact Thailand is born from Cambodia.. The Khmer were the first that ruled over the peninsula...So no claims can be made by Thailand in fact
  5. It is good to keep things as a heritage, but in Thailand there nothing else than keep everything.... almost no progress is made Everything must be Thai Thai Thai.... to stay in the past.. Ans although it is beautiful clothing, it are costumes for the rich and wealthy.. Ordinary Thai never had these
  6. No need they can use the transferred to inactive post police officers... there are many already..It can't be difficult to stamp a passport I suppose, but as they are inactive already it will be difficult to activate them
  7. Advice more than enough, but the Thai culture will never accept ideas from others. Everybody thinks they are the most important person and make their own rules. At the airport it is the same.. Long rows waiting.. Immigration officers who see that is growing start to come and open their counter in a slow way. The visitor has to make a pic leaving also as arriving , biometric fingerprints and as an arrival passenger they need a boarding pass.. ( In which other country do have to show that??) Than checking all the pages of your passport, write a story in the computer and stamp the passport. But take it easy.. rows will grow but they take their time. Where are the automatic passport checks?? Why not all counters occupied the whole day? Why boarding passes for entry? And if you have a re entry permit you have to go to the local immigration office for your address notification and 90 days paper.. Are computers not connected with eachother?? local immigration different than the leaving side and different again from the entrance side?? Maybe they should work on that
  8. It is not too expensive in my opinion, but it is free to accept the deal or not. If you don't want to pay or pay less negotiate or cancel it... Anyway Koreans and Thais are not a good match at this moment, and probably it is a part of it
  9. Sounds familiar... same here Blood pressure meds and very tired even change of medication did not work...I live with it an take a nap every afternoon and that works very well.. Probably it are the meds in combination with the hot weather, which makes you tired also
  10. hub hub hub... Thailand is the country of hubs... even more than the biggest Muslim country in the world Indonesia. Another hub.. false information hub.
  11. Amazing TAT.... 6 million divided by 8 multiply with 52 is 39 million ... and the high season has to come yet... Celebrations for you.....but I don't believe it. Arrivals are not always tourists, but can be Thai people just coming home from a holiday. expats and business men from a holiday or seminar and of course people in transit...
  12. I am wondering why we only hear Thai artists singing all the time.. Besides that Pheu Thai will be banned from these concerts as they disturb them like at the performance of Ed Sheenan
  13. Could be but the interest rate is not only for a country it follows the international rates too, and probably every country is following it.
  14. If they really want the country to move forward, they should have give MFP a chance instead of the witch hunt they are doing now on this party and leaders.. But in the land of dinosaurs it will take a very long time before the country even starts to move
  15. If there are no changes coming, Thailand will loose the connection with the world. Bad education that makes people lazy by outdated law of always passing for example, poverty will be getting worse, no freedom of press, speaking, and writing, everything is censured, and with many outdated laws enforced by army and a corrupt police force, double standards for foreigners, it will be a non attractive country anymore. The people should come together and demand changes, but the government divides more and more as they know " divide and rule". But if the people of Thailand work together they are stronger than any force. It is their country and they have to claim it back instead of now being in the hands of incompetent governments and army
  16. There is no need to help, the people with high debts. A assistance of how to use their money and talk with the creditors try to find solutions for paying back. I worked for a NGO and charitable institution and we helped so people out of their debts. It take a long time, but important is to see how people spend their money and that they have to change that....Everything here seems to be a problem of the Government, but people are responsible for their own deeds
  17. There was no brake failure for sure... The bus have stopped several times already with no problems, only when there is an accident it is brake failure, maybe because they are speeding and think that when they stop suddenly they stand still right away. Never heard of braking distance. or people are too tired and react different than when they had enough rest and sleep. Anyway RIP to the deceased and good recovery for the injured. It is always a roulette to drive with a person you hired
  18. Of course he want a lower interest rate.. He needs to borrow a lot for his 10k scheme and with the current interest rates it will be difficult and Sethra thinks with a lower rate it is easier to get approval of the senate
  19. Foreign maffia is not allowed.. All jobs Thai can do are protected , so these practices too
  20. My English is terrible as you don't understand what I wrote.. please correct it and teach me what is wrong... I am never too old to learn. Easy to give comments, but look at your own
  21. waaw what a progression 600 km 3 track railway.. It is about time since the 19th century nothing has been done at the railways anymore. Except the high speed line but that is endless building it seems
  22. Maybe the Government should start to review the outdated labour laws and requirements to get a workpermit. Sometimes people need so much paperwork and certificates and titles that it is almost impossible to get a workpermit. Best example is an English teacher and also for guides. The protection that jobs are forbidden for foreigners for jobs a Thai can do also is ouitdated. We all know that Thai education sometimes lacks the real skills such as English teachers who can conversate with you an have a lower degree than a foreigner needs. Same for guides.. where can you learn French/ or Russian or whatever language here in Thailand as many Thais not even are willing to learn English?
  23. not only for entertainment venues in Pattaya but it should be in fact all over the country and especially also for the temples. The temples with their activities are really producing too much noise, while in fact they should be a shelter for meditation and rest..But with a non enforcement policy and a refusing to change mentality people will gat ear damage and the sounds are only increasing
