12-Year-Old in Critical Condition After Vaping for Two Years
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
This is a lack of parental guidance.. a kid that is vaping for 2 years and nobody noticed?? Something is very wrong. And you can call to forbid vaping, but in fact that is not the problem.. Vaping could be allowed but from a certain age and make it expensive... but first of all parents/grandparents take care of the children guide them and protect them. That was not done in this case and many more we don't know -

Look around you see them everywhere if you open your eyes...shirts like oversized bra's, skirts that barely cover their bottoms, tattoos all over their arms, back, legs and I don't know where and a make up where I could paint my house with... everywhere but only open your eyes -

No indeed if you see how many Thai people are tattooed from top to toe and how less clothes some women are wearing that they more like to be hookers than sexy that is ok.. But that is Thai culture but as a foreigner is doing something like that he is disrespectful. -
Thailand Cracks Down: Police to Monitor Foreign Nationals Closely
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The only people who damage the reputation of Thailand are the the Thai people themselves... The more they complain about foreigners the less attractive the country is becoming as a tourist destination. Thai people blaming foreigners but don't see their own xenophobic behavior, with laws and rules that chase foreigners away. Even expats and longstay visaholders are leaving. Thailand is destroying its own economy by being too conservative -

being naked is only allowed for Thais.... look around what some people wear on the streets.. It seems they are on the beach.. so called being sexy, but they don't know the difference between sexy and looking for money.. But as a foreigner take out his shirt it is a shame. Thais swim with their clothes on.. foreigners take them off.. I would know how the would respond if there were beaches for nudists here -

Pai's Deportation of International Musician Sparks Outcry
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Here in Thailand they none of all.. no brains, no computersystem and surely not less paperwork.. Yesterday we were at the Amphur to register a deceased member of the family. Just before us there was a couple that wanted to change their address.. I saw that the woman had to sign 6 different forms, and than the officer was using the computer and after 20 minutes she had to pay 20 THB and the address was changed...I don't understand this kind of wasting papers. why not simply 1 form with names from old to new address and 1 signature printed out of the computer... Easy, simple, quick, cheaper -

New Casino Rules May Bar Thais Without $1.5M Fixed Deposits
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Tourists don't come to visit a country because there are casino's...Maybe a few will visit them, but most tourists come to see the attractions, taste the food, the weather etc... Thailand was a top destination even without a casino, but now there are too many rules that is limiting the enjoy of a relaxed holiday... And in all countries there gambling addicts also here in Thailand were people are already in deep debts because of illegal gambling. It will be worse when casino's come, as the illegal gambling will continue too. -

Thailand is just tourist unfriendly, partly caused by outdated laws. There should be a revision of several laws just to make it matching with era we live in and not how it was 50-75 years back.. The amount of papers needed for a workpermit is terrible and the process is taking a long time...Why not make things easier? just by using a good computer system- 122 replies

Speeding and overloaded....... I have never seen a traffic light suddenly turn red... There is always first a yellow or orange light before it turns red... But here in Thailand it means speed up and drive before it is red while in other countries it means stop...But I forgot that is being taught in a real drivers course...

Thailand Eyes Senior Tourists for '25, Aiming for 40 Million Visitors
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Seniors are welcome...... but what changed in the past weeks?? Still limited alcohol sales hours, too expensive low quality wines, forbidden vaping, no volunteer work for long stayers without a workpermit, no able to play cardgames, double pricing in attractions and hospitals... indeed a number 1 destination for the elderly... Unless you are a Chinese one of course -

Thai Court Approves Thaksin's ASEAN Trip to Brunei
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The second time it is clear that Thai justice is based on money and friends.. Accused of violating section 112 Mr Thaksin got bail, while others are bail refused... but Thaksin has the money. He is not allowed officially to leave the country, but he has already granted permission for 2 times and more will follow, while other protestors are being kept in jail and being punished with more jail term time after time... And than Thailand dare to claim that is the laws are equal for everybody -
Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
All teachers in schools have the same problem. In every subject. There are too many students in the class, and only a few participate in the lessons and others only copy. I had happily a good relationship with the students and one day it happened that there was math on the blackboard. Most students told me they did not understand how to do it and i explained it was not so difficult. My English lesson became a math class and after 1 hour every student could do it and was happy that they inderstood it. But Thai culture does not allow to ask questions to a teacher. All about losing face -
