  1. Funny that the sexworkers are not mentioned. This news shows how much Pattaya is and will be a family destination... Never ... This has another meaning for something hard
  2. Next news about Lisa is that she wen to the toilet
  3. The court accepts??? It is their duty to enforce the law and those who commit crimes like this should be get a severe punishment wit or without showing remorse....That is the whole problem in Thailand...no enforcement of laws and punishments....Judges should should be working for the people, instead for the brown envelopes
  4. Small thinking... local alcoholics don't need a visa and those who are living here already and became alcoholics are a minority.. All the rest are normal people
  5. Thai people can't play sounds on normal level.. Everywhere you go there is much noise even when they speak with eachother they have to scream and parties and temples activities the music is so loud it can be heard km's far.. Today there is a kind of shadow show somewhere but we can hear it inside my house, and also in shopping malls, hostesses are screaming in the micro and nobody is listening and shopping at any Big C, Lotus's Tops or wherever seems like a club than a relaxing shop... So although I feel sorry for the tomboy in this case, but probably it was not the first time that she had too much noise,and it is known that loud noise is used sometimes as a torture.. No wonder that people act like this... it is the drop
  6. Thailand must update their old laws so that foreigners can do volunteer jobs too.. and must be tax friendly, scrap the alcohol control laws, lower the alcohol and foreign food import taxes, and be friendly to foreigners.... That will do more good than easier visa conditions...Don't see a foreigner as an ATM, or a criminal, or someone who will destroy the Thai culture...because that is what is being done now..
  7. Soft power with mostly music so loudly that you can't communicate.. or people who think they can sing..... sure
  8. Not enough money of her own and she must borrow 4,4 billion THB more??? Bit awkward. Same case as the watches of Prawit... borrowed from a dead friend...
  9. Soft power to attrack tourists..... Everything safe in Thailand, don't worry
  10. At last a normally cold season... It was years ago we had these temperatures
  11. This man is good for nothing.. He should do his own first properly as he refused to sign the Equal Marriage Bill which brought a lot of confusion all over the Amphurs in Thailand.. Besides that his mismanagement in the Covid crises and his anti foreigner policy and his own corruption with the elections, should be wise to keep his big mouth shut
  12. walking is as far it only will take a bit longer
  13. It is clear that vaping is forbidden just a smoking, but detaining someone for it???? Better put him on a blacklist that he can't fly for a few years...
  14. There is no dual prime minister system... Thaksin rules and his daughter is the marionet who will speak for him and do the things..
  15. Good...... let all the tourists and especially Chinese and Korean tourist go to Phuket... and with the expensive THB and extreme prices Phuket will be very happy and the rest of Thailand too... Better one part of the country than the whole country drowning in tourists
  16. And this kind of accidents are keeping tourists away... It is not safe to travel from A to B on the Thai roads... Maybe Thailand think that the foreign countries don't know about these terrible, irresponsible, and uneducated drivers
  17. The school and the neighbourhood should be ashamed.. They know what is happening and left the kid alone.. The school should have interfered as he did not come, and many other organizations failed, as we are used in Thailand...Nothing for the poor but everything for the rich.
  18. Not only the human trafficking is thread but also I think there nothing special anymore ... I was a few days in Bangkok and there were only restaurants as Japanese, Thai, Korean and Chinese and everywhere MK like style restaurants... Nothing else to find. Happily in the soi of our hotel there was El Gaucho an Argentinian restaurant a French restaurant and a Tapas bar... And the shops are all over the same, cosmetics, clothes, shoes and drugstores...So I was wondering what has Thailand to offer to tourists??? Shopping is very expensive eating is everywhere the same choices, and danger on roads and scams all over the country... No wonder people going to find other destinies.
  19. Mr Anutin is too budy with other things as he still refused to sign the law again. Except that it is a pity that th organization of the mass wedding did not announce what they are organazing. Simply a autograph will not attrack many couples, but with several activities it would be possible to get many people as they wanted.
  20. So what are they going to do? Many are vaping on the street, even policemen, government officials, guards, and many others.. How can you forbid something that is out of control already. looks the same as the law to wear a helmet. A foreigner is finef, the Thai can do
  21. and many provinces will probably not give the correct numbers as they don't want to be a dangerous looking province... Anyway as long as there is no better driving education and no enforcement of traffic laws 24/7 365/365 it will be dangerous on the roads and become even more every year.. Read the narticle of the 13 year old one who died on a motorcycle. as an example, and make parents responsible for the lack of responsibility to keep the kids away from their motorcycles. Here in my soi another 4 grade kid is driving around on a motorcycle...
  22. The Thaksin clan is several times removed by coups already... Why should it be this time different?? Thaksin is already too much involved and the PM is more busy with her family and business than with the country
  23. Same story all the time... 13 year olds are not allowed to ride a motorcycle.. where is RTP to enforce the law where are the parents and why do they allow it?? Tragic but normal in this country
  24. That number is lower than in the past years, but maybe that is why they made it 10 days. , This year average of 36 a day Last year 284 in 7 days is average of 40.. It looks better, although for many families more grief than party for 2025, and next Songkran again for other families and it goes on and on
  25. You are well informed... The law is changed from man and wife into person.... No man and wife anymore... all the rest is the same
