Mother Finds 16 Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Working at Bar in Pattaya
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Why was the girl running away from home??? Who put her in the bar?? just a few questions to be answered.. Not always the girls fauly as is being suggested.. loverboys are also active here in Thailand... But the bar owner is responsible for these underage working girls as waitress or whatever... They have to show an id card at least and if doubts, contact the police or parents .....Shame -

Phuket Tourist Police boosts safety with new High Season drive
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
More police officers to fine tourists as they are a real thread for the safety... no helmets, speeding, no driving licenses, alcohol consuming, noise making, driving wrong side of the road, fighting, peeing in the sea... all things Thais will never do -

Patong slams brakes on taxi conflicts to boost tourism image
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Make a decent registry of motorcycle taxis with requirements and give them a sign that they are approved by the Government, instead of a jacket that you can buy everywhere... If people don't meet the requirements or make problems remove them ...But such things need enforcements and that lacks Thailand in all subjects Same for car taxis- 16 replies

PM Paetongtarn Seeks Extension on Asset Declaration
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It seems that all high ranked people don't have a clue what their assets are and how much money they have... There is time enough to look into their books and count their jewellery and watches and cars I believe.. But they need more time to hide things or so... I know what my assets are and how much money I have in a few hours or even minutes.... but I have nothing to hide -
It is time to make getting workpermits easier than all the paperwork that is required now... That is the main cause of why so many people work without a workpermit.. The processs is long and a lot of paperwork for every workpermit even for the same company...Thailand still can't work with a scanner to put all documents in a computer but need still paper copies of everything everytime... Not 21st century anymore

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Paying tax is ok IF you get rights too... but now Thailand want to have tax from our income and assets overseas, and in the meanwhile they give nothing in return except double standards, no voting rights, no social security etc, while all imported goods are on very high tax, like wines and although they promised to lower the tax nothing happened yet since March. It is always a one way ticket in Thailand. I strongly believe after they chased the backpack tourists away and the people who could for one or another reason not apply for a long term visa, but contributed a lot to the Thai economy and families, now they want get rid of expats and retirees... This is not starting this year but already a long time the matter... Thailand doesn't look what is brought in but only how much money they can get out of you. i once was at the immigration office several years ago and an elderly couple was at the desk and their visa could not be extended. The man had not enough money, but he told the immigration officer that he had bought a houseof 5 million, and furniture and a car, and paid it all and he told the officer he could not have 800k on a bank account anymore.... And the officer said it is the rule and the wife started to cry..... I don't know the end of the story as I was finished with my stuff, but it just an example of the shortsighted ideas in Thailand.. Children and grandchildren will come and visit the parents/grandparents and spend money here, good for tourism and economy, but Thailand only sees short term benefits and destroys everything on the long term- 744 replies

Another issue that is only allowed for Thais.... Foreigners are not allowed to fight... Thai people can do as we have seen many times even in hospitals and that is no problem for the netizens... but as foreigners fight on the beach.......- 74 replies

It will be impossible to find the truth.. there is too much money involved and too many lies.. The only real thing that can be done is checking everyone involved and their assets and money... as always follow the money, but the panel will be probably find nothing and the truth will stay hidden... Unless the panel has a lot of money to spend -
