If some farang prove to be inept as teachers, let 'em go, and hire new ones.

Also pay English teachers more than what they can earn flipping burgers at McDonald's back in the West.

No wonder many are inept.

Dogs are higher in status then motorbikedrivers, they can sleep at the middle of the road and all cars will avoid them.

"He has said that he wishes to bring the younger generation back to agricultural sector as Thailand is an agricultural country."

Sounds like Pol Pot.

No it will not.

What do think they have computers for.

Btw. do you know what happens when you claim an American passport lost.

Yeah, don't claim it as lost.

Give it a cycle or two thru a washing machine & blame it on your wife.

That way you've got a damaged passport instead of an "unaccounted for" passport.

And it has restrooms half the size of those at the Mo-Chit bus station

A decent parking lot where I don't have to make a 97 point turn to get my car in or out of.

Thainess,,,,,,,,,,,,

To me, it's where they hire me to teach them some very technical stuff that a monkey could do, were he able to read English.

I teach them. I tell them. I set up systems and processes.

They grin at me and I have a workshop with garbage everywhere, 6 inches deep in water when it rains every day, a squat toilet with no running water, replete with a vicious dog that must be either beaten or circumvented on one's way to said bog...being fed nuclear spicy Thai food, so bog encounters are frequent.

And........They ignore every damned thing I say.

That was my last job in Thailand, re-building 25 each, 25 year old Air Force trucks.

I swear it was like working with 10 year old kids.

Thainess.

I wonder if "Eat S&t & Die" at the countless irritating touts AND "You falang No Good Man" will be banned when fake watch sellers armed with bayonets will apply.

I'm quite certain this rule will be strictly enforced...NOT.

It will be, like most laws the world over, just another selective clause the Bumbling Boys in Brown can charge somebody with....If it suits the occasion.

Agreed, but I still feel badly for the Muslims that just want live their lives peacefully and fit into Western society.

haven't met them yet...

peacefully yes but integrating-no...

So what ? do you speak Thai.. go to the Thai temple.. forgot about where you came from.. do you live in a farang ghetto ? Pattaya .. Phuket ect ? Do you only eat Thai food drink Thai beers ?

Immigrants complaining about other immigrants not integrating

Sorry but i prefer to stay how I am instead of turning Thai, give those Muslims the same cutesy as long as they are peaceful.

valid points...but i try NOT to change my host country or live from their social security...and to some points yes i integrate...

Forsooth! At least we integrate to the point where we don't go around screaming about our God whilst shooting people...

How does one cut someones penis twice?The first time could have caught him by surprise, but the second time.........

Personalty. after the first time I would have bought steel lined underwear.

Yeah No Sh*t!

Fool me once but......That was Mr. Happy she messed with once before. Methinks I'd have choked her to death the first time around.

wish they would offer a 10 year like China.

Or the USA.

It means she dreamed about snakes.

so as usual the farmers only care more about their wallets than the health of the people .

How about getting the farmers to grow organic brown rice instead, as that would improve people's health and not wreck their lives.

The land tobacco is grown on is not suitable for growing rice of any sort, however there are alternate crops, whether they would give as good an income I wouldn't know.

No I don't smoke and think its a disgusting addiction.

I was just thinking today I need to plant a few bushes.

I bet they'd grow good in a big pot with the right kind of soil mixture.

Probably illegal for some unknown 1929 law that hasn't been enforced since 1929.

Does anybody have a cop friend that knows the answer?

Is it legal to grow a few tobacco bushes for private use?

I'd be willing to wager a beer that that they HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA whether it's legal or not, but they could make something up real quick, since the question has probably never arisen.

I wouldn't know a tobacco bush if you smacked me upside the head with it & doubt they would either.

I'm sure there are a million Youtube videos showing how to cure the stuff though.

they could always rename the city to RAT CITY

many rats in human form also available : jetsky, taxi maffia & hookers

LOVE IT!

Come visit Rattaya, hub of Rats!

Imagine a Thailand where the men get themselves gainful employment and work hard for their country rather than sleeping, scamming and generally ruining the country's reputation?

Especially in the tourist industry!

Probably angry because he/she just learned an alternate meaning of the word "Pussy" when he/she was so proud to be called one him/herself.

Go kick a bitch aggressive soidog if he/she wants to kick something, but then that might be too much like kicking him/herself.

Imagine what would happen to his competition if they were a duly licensed Farang owned controlled company?

Probably all sorts of nasty stuff with clubs, knives, machetes & fire bombs.

"Soravit said all food sellers should understand that they need to boil chicken blood before serving it to customers."

Ya think???????

True words of wisdom.

hope they do this with alcohol also

and guns

And...and...and... 1 liter fountain drinks by God!

The NERVE of some people, wanting to buy what could, potentially, might, may, be harmful!

Gimme a break...

While we're at it, banning things that is, why not ban all balconies in Pattaya? I'd wager they are the root cause of more deaths there than smoking.

so as usual the farmers only care more about their wallets than the health of the people .

So as usual, it's always "For the children" when it come to yet further, and further government control.

Pfff! It's not like this new "Law" would be enforced anyhow.

They can't keep motorcycles off sidewalks, keep helmets on motorcycle driver's heads, nor stop murders from happening, although all are "against the law".

I haven't laughed so hard since that announcement about making Pattaya a "Hub" for unspecified olympic sports and all the suggestions started pouring in.

Hitler had Goebbels and his Ministry of Propaganda, Prayuth and the junta have the Thai Researchers in Community Happiness Association (TRICHA).http://asiancorrespondent.com/126917/why-are-some-opinion-poll-results-so-positive-of-the-thai-junta/

The Ministry of TRUTH.

As I said, nothing new with the expected 30'000 tourists for the full moon party, that's since

years petty much the same, a little bit up, a little bit down, depends on the season but the

estimated 30 Million baht income for the economy astonishes me a bit.

Looking at the TAT figures from 2 years ago, the average spending per tourist per day

was around 4'200 THB. Now Koh Phangan is still mainly a backpacker island, but during

the 3 days of the average party tourist on the island, that might probably be considerate

higher. So lets assume, a good average for party people would be around 6'500THB for

the three days

(3 days accommodation <high season> around 2400 THB, food 900 THB, motorbike 450 THB, transport

to and from party 500 THB, entry to party 100 THB, Alcohol 1200 THB, Ferry to and from the island 1000 THB)

As there are already at least 25'000 rooms booked for this full moon party and 30'000 are

expected, that would more likely generate around 160 to 200 million THB. So I wonder ......

If there is only 30 million baht flowing in to the local economy in who's pockets are the

other 130 Million baht flowing?

Yeah that's the first thing I did was some basic math, such as 30 million baht/ 30 thousand tourists = they expect to get a whopping 1,000 baht per tourist???

Is that the foreign man's girlfriend? Okey dokey.

The ole' boy's Beer Goggles were on full blast eh?

Beauty is in the eye of the Beer-Holder though.
