  1. Respect you have to earn and the votes of 14 million Thais being thrown away only because an outdated law is not the democracy Thailand pretends to be.. Maybe an opportunity for the EU and US to bring some sanctions in as they often do with countries like North Korea, Russia and other non democratic regimes. The decision is not democratic and of course people wilol talk about it but nobody shall invade Thailand. Best thing is to avoid the country as much as possible

    Soi 6 is not where families should be going, but we can't beat up a city because it has areas where tourists should not go.

     

    We can make the same case for popular tourist destinations the world over... For example, NYC is a popular family destination, but there are areas no tourists should visit. Paris has a red-light district, where families should not go. Istanbul is one of the most visited cities in the world but has dangerous neighbourhoods. 

    You are right, only the problem is that whole Pattaya is known for their sex tourism, while the cites mentioned have only some areas... and never got the name as sex capital of the world

    They do not box bronze final in Olympics, so she is guaranteed bronze if she loose. Both loosing semifinalists get bronze

     

    However, in 1950 the International Boxing Association (IBA) decided to discontinue the bronze medal match as the short time interval between the semi-finals and the third-place match allowed limited time for competitors to recover

  4. The medals Thailand should do much more for the youth of Thailand, however Thai TV is not broadcasting much or only at night.... In many countries youth will participate in sports especially when there are championships and the athletes are doing their best to win.. But where can you find any sportclub in Thailand, such as for athletics, gymnastics, basketball, cycling, rowing, volleyball, badminton or whatever where kids can play and learn and improve to become the future sportsmen... Nothing at all unfortunately

  5. Maybe it should be easier to get a workpermit.... Now it is an endless paperwork for employer and employee..... So that is why many stop with the procedure and work illegal.... Why not introduce a workvisa?? just apply for it and you can work in almost every job...Much easier, but in Thailand all jobs are protected even prostitution although it doesn't exists....Foreigners are being limited or jailed almost in  every job for not having a workpermit. Even volunteer work is impossible...Volunteer is without payment...and if people complain you can't even mown you own lawn........ Easy for people to blame but look at the reasons.  I know for foreign teachers it can take up to 3 months before getting a workpermit and that is far too long
