That should not be too difficult, as when you walk around in Bangkok you will many places which sell e cigarettes  and vapes.. But for a crackdown you need a working policeforce, but that is difficult to fine anywhere in Thailand. Working is bad word

Thai people are not educated to lower their voice when they speak.. screaming is the normal here.. No wonder I suppose as everyone has an ear damage already because all the noise pollution in parties, temple activities election driving around cars and at home even normal talk is impossible... Go to a restaurant and the music is so loudly played that a conversation is impossible. But also at home.. my neighbours have a barbecue every weekend and they make a lot of noise, and at the other side there is a small restaurant with rice soup, where the owners speak so loudly I can literally hear what they talk about... and you have to know there is a soi between our houses and they live on the corner and I am the  third house in the soi, opposite site of theirs. So please stop with blaming foreigners for things Thais do same and more . Thailand is full of Thai people and only a few foreigners

TAT soft power to attrack tourists.. Why is nobody doing something about this kind of accidents... All busses should be checked before they are allowed to ride out, with decent driving times for the drivers and several drivers in a bus with a good education and responsibilty for the people they are carrying... But government, RTP and companies don't care about anything... Fines should be skyhigh and they will loose their license to open another similar business for lifetime.  But........ I keep on dreaming

Normal in Thailand.... so no news

Not only in Pattaya noise pollution.. Everywhere in Thailand.. Somewhere in a temple about 800m my place they play music so loudly that we have turn on more volume on our TV. Don't understand why neighbours don't complain to the temple and/or police... Although we know that both don't care at all. Enforcing max DB's is impossible in the land of smiles

What "filter" would that be?

To clean the drinking water...... ask a stupid question and you get a stupid answer

Waaw a crackdown again for 2 days and than business as usual... Drive around and see how many black smoke cars drive around and nobody cares... Just a simple new filter and problem solved, but if there is no enforcement no awareness  and no need to change why do it??

Checking if tax is paid is more important

It is all about e cigarettes that are in fact less harmful than normal ones... But for the normal ones there is no witch hunt like for the e cigarettes.. Probably the rich and elite who owns these factories are afraid of losing their profits to e cigarettes.. Solve the problem with all smoking and make it very expensive.. People will stop, and the tabacco industry will die out

Where is the Chamber of Commerce for?? All businesses should be registered, without any exception, and it should be checked if they work confirm their contracts.. Illegal hotels would be impossible as all businesses needs an accountant, tax pay, and annual fee for the Chamber of Commerce, register in the place where the business is and in case of condos you only can have one appartment to live in and  if you only can rent to long stayers with a contract for at least 5 months, and of course announce it to the immigration.

There should be a permission given for a parking lot in front of you business, door or whatever by the Government.. and the fee is a rent of that space, maybe 20k a year... Otherwise people claim to be the owner of the spot nobody can park anywhere anymore.. Many times you see they block parking space with chairs or pilons or whatever, but the road is not theirs and it should be forbidden to block the space. The police should check if they have permission and than no problem, but agh I forgot... working and enforcement.. Not in Thailand

and she showed too the latest raids by the police in Pai? the problems in Phuket and Pattaya? the scam of foreigners and the long cues at the airport?. It easy only to show what is beautiful and peaceful, but the reality is totally different in Thailand, no matter where you go. 

Tonglor again... maybe a proper working policeforce that checks and do their jobs would solve several problems...Or change the police offers who are working there now

speeding on wet roads....Thai driving education and use of common sense.... and maybe even some alcohol involved and of course tiredness as it is early in the morning... 

Shocking indeed... just as teachers dress up like women in school acts or teachers who stimulate coyote dancing to their students.. or students who make copulation movements on music.. Thai education is one direction. That does not mean I approve this act, but come on there is so much sex dancing around at temples and festivals and everywhere.. Kids grow up with it

Agreed..... I wonder what provokes these heartless sanctimonious c0ckwombles to make such dimwitted and ill thought out comments.... 

 

....  A guy with three young kids, desperate for the return of his wife, worried sick, clearly of very poor means and the only comment some posters can make is to pass judgement on the finances...

 

IF YOU ikke1959 and edwardflory are so great - find a way to help them out... 

... Get into contact with the Aseannow news team and find out how you can make a donation to support this family.... use some of this 'spare cash' you have growing on trees... 

 

 

There is more about the story and she is found already

A new reason to keep masks on... The company will earn millions as so many people never stopped wearing a mask and now the Government start to promote again... It would be wiser to wear a helmet than a mask on a motorcycle, but that is too smart thinking of me 

She not much worth than 20K???

also cautioned visitors against public disturbances, including cigarette smoking, cannabis use, and alcohol consumption in public spaces.

What are public spaces??? alcohol consumption in a bar.. is a bar a public space?? smoking cigarettes on the streets?? is that a public space?? and how about the netizens? They are all without sins??

What are these youngster doing on the street so early in the morning??? Where is the parental guidance and why are they not in bed which would be normal surely for the 12 and 13 year old..
