  1. With improper inspections, and low maintenance, and lack of educated craftsmen, there is nothing else to expect.... Many examples this week already, and put the low or non driving skills as an add and you have multiple chances of unnecessary accidents.. But as long as the Government, and the RTP don't care nothing will change
  2. And Thailand is wondering why they have a certain reputation......
  3. THey found out now?? Everybody with a bit of brains knew what he was doing in Dubai already and that it would be worse when he came back in Thailand.. But his welcome was more a return of moviestar, his acts in hospital were already a sign that he was manipulating and when he toured around the country he seemed to be more important the PM Setthra... And with his daughter pushed as PM he is back in power...and he got even a certificate for no wrongdoing....
  4. In the Thai system you are never sure what will happen..Every day there can be a sudden twist of a law being implemented.. No wonder expats are worried.. Look at the new tax model
  5. The THB will get stronger again... nothing can stop the value.... The floodings could have brought more work and income for the people in Thailand as they had plans to invest to take control measures.. but yearly don't do anything and only compensate the losses is nobody helped or got wealthier..
  6. This smart thinking... Lower occupancy we raise the prices ... result will probably be even more lower occupancy High season we raise the prices every time and we complain why the occupancy is still down...Than we complain that we have so many costs and ask for help of the Government, instead of lower the prices which will make the hotels more accessible for more tourists surely now the THB is soo expensive... You can search on website in foreign currencies and use the exchanges rates to see what the effects are... BTW the High end tourists are not endless
  7. So no meeting no payment.. a signature should not be enough.. besides sleeping during the meeting is same as not attending.... These old dinosaurs should be banned to proceed.. If they don't want to go, fire them. 75 should be the max age
  8. Nowhere a toilet building to be seen on the pic but a lot of bushes... just to say
  9. The investment in tourist industry shows again a lack of toilets.. These boys stand at the edge, but how many will go in the sea even on busy days and lots of people on the beach?? Solve problems by investments instead of making money because you lack to dosomething
  10. Money will solve all problems in Thailand that is easier than making the roads safer, so that less young people die, or that people will earn a decent income so they have more kids, or give decent education so that people can get better jobs and earn more... No taxes and taxes and higher fees will solve all the problems. And because there was never any investment because struggle already to make ends meet there is no nest egg as houses or savings for the elderly and the tourism will go down further and further with less income for Thailand as there is no investment for new attractions, or ideas and with the change of the global travel behavior in the years to come and the extreme old laws tourists will find better destinations..
  11. And they still believe that they are the hub best country in the world and don't need to update their laws...Thailand is at least 50 years behind the rest of the world
  12. What is "their " religion??? Thailand is not even a real Buddhistic country but a mix of several other religions hanged under Buddhism.. and in other real Buddhist countries there is no law that there is no alcohol sales on holidays
  13. The problems are not solved this way.. They should be enforced a good inspection that is not corrupt, a good working LTD department that knows how ancient some busses are and they should be forbidden to drive anymore, although they look almost new... and many more. That will do the job... Anyway there is much more for student safety to as overloaded vans, crazy busdrivers, and open cars etc.... Make Thailand safer is nice to say but impossible to do
  14. 240 THB... how dare they.. Card games... suppose it were bull running or cock fights that is allowed but a simple game at home you need to as permission.... Police officer we want to play a card game can I get permission?? Police officer : how much money is involved ??? I think 500 THB .. Police officer: That is too less to bribe us.. play it and we will arrest you/
  15. Are immigration offices closed that day too??can't find anywhere on internet.. And the whole alcohol sales ban should eb reviewed for the tourism industry...
  16. yes I have seen and heard it as a few years back it was in front of my on a Wednesday.......and gambling and noise whole night... and that in country that doesn't want gambling... Amazing
  17. Nobody needs to be hospitalized for high bloodpressure.....and all the other sickness disappeared as soon as he was free.... More proof needed??
  18. Bull races are always in the night.. That should be forbidden, people need their sleep too
  19. Nothing will happen, Thaksin got a certificate for good behaviour a few months back... and with his friends in the army and higher he is untouchable...
  20. What are the Human Rights in Thailand???if you open your mouth you be jailed....and than there too many inmates in a too small cell, with bad quality food, kids are being hit with sticks for minor offences in schools, and the corruption is only protecting the rich...
  21. Does Thailand has Human Rights??? How about the overcrowded prisons? protestors in jail without a bail possibility for nothing? No freedom of speech, reading and writings?? No equality for LHBTQ community, and hitting teachers with bamboo sticks in schools?? Underpaid work and not allowed to stay home for sickness or even burial as we could read this year, and that are not all cases but just a few. And the list can go on
  22. The Government said no flooding in Bangkok so, now maybe a bit of water in the streets but don't worry we will never solve the problems as in a few weeks the dry season starts and all problems are solve then.. And next year we do the same ... We predict no floodings anymore but we don't do anything ever about it.. It are only the common people who are affected..The rich and elite are always safe.
  23. Which countries do you talk about?? give some examples please..And besides that.. how many Thais have any knowledge of the history, the sightseeing of the countries they visit or even understand some English
  24. It is not about qualifications as a lot of Thais lack it ... It is that it is not allowed to do a job a Thai can do, and as all Thais can do everything, you need almost a university degree and dozens of copies to hop that you can get a job...
