Just another newspaper, telling stories to titillate and sell advertising space.  It's not "news" in Thailand, it's not even news in the UK.

 

It's just time for this years commercial sex "story".

 

Next year it'll be Angeles City, or Mumbai, or maybe back to Prague.

 

 

You forgot Madrid, Amsterdam & San Jose (Costa Rica).

Also Sousa in the Dominican Republic

And risk a defamation suit that the whistle blower will surely lose?  As absurd as it sounds, the best action in this situation is to get off and try your luck with another bus and driver. 

 

Without proactive action from the top (Laws and Enforcement) this will never change. 

They have a bazillion laws on the books, it's the enforcement part that will never happen.

There is no way I would have just sat there and watched the driver drink and drive. At the very least I would have demanded he stop the bus so I could get off. I've exited taxis in Bangkok before because I felt unsafe by the drivers erratic behavior.  My safety comes first and foremost. Hard to believe no one demanded him to stop if they truly saw him "guzzling beer all the way"

I was on a moto-taxi from Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya back home once after a day on Koh Larn back to East Pattaya, off Khao Talo (about 3 km) for 100 baht.

The guy was waving thru traffic up S. Pattaya Rd & ANSWERS HIS PHONE!

I told him to stop! And proffered 40 baht for his troubles & jumped off the bike.

I had about 300 baht in my hand as I found a couple twenty's.

He forgot all about his phone call and tried snatch all my money and started trying to kick at me.

Simple LOGIC... Passenger SAFETY FIRST!

Does not seem to be a concept they can relate to.

Thai Public Transport drivers drunk. Thats not exactly news to most of us is it?

I wasn't driving, my mate was, but he has done a runner. Seriously? And I don't know his name. Classic.

In total contradiction to what the witnesses said.

The only thing that puzzles me is why the Police didn't apparently breathalyse him immediately.

One does not have to search too hard to see why Thailands roads are the second most dangerous in the world.

 

They should put breathe monitors on ALL public transport BEFORE the driver even fires up the engine. Seal the driver & assistant driver up front (so some Yo-Yo can't blow for them) & make them blow every 1 hour to keep the engine running.

I think they call it an Ignition Interlock Device.

They fear there will be no somtam when they are sent to Mexico.

I was working in S. California years ago for a few months & would drive down to Old Mexico (San Felipe) on the weekends for something to do.

First time there, I got a bowl of tortilla chips & salsa with my beer at a bar.

A Thai would have LOVED that stuff!  I grabbed a big old scoop of salsa & almost died!  Rather spicy to say the least.

The Thais loves big plans and too boost about them, normally they end with failures due to corruption, feudalism and bad planning. 

Not so much bad planning it is ZERO planning (except how to scrape cash off the project).

They are westerners that have been here for 30 or 40 years that have never been to a temple out side of a friends burning or wedding.No Sex in Pattaya,No Money in Pattaya.

I've been to many temples, but kneeling on some burlap rug for 30 minutes...NO THANKS!

At least give me an old style wooden church pew.

The highly efficient and ever dutiful, and vigorous, and never ending work by the BIB have me quaking in my flip-flops!

Even the best story writers could not come up with a better story line than this fiasco.

Nobody would believe them!

I saw him walking from Pattaya to Hua Hin across the gulf.

He said the new ferry was too expensive & might sink as well.

I needed a good laugh! Thanks!

The Kings group bars are quite well managed, certainly no under age girls, and drug use  is not as overt as in some of the smaller establishments. You are right though, as one of the big players in the area they will of course have received advance notification of this - hence the zero positive piss test results.

I recall a Kiwi (newbie) buddy years ago on a different forum saying how stunning and tall the women were at King's-Something-or-other bar on Patpong.

Poor guy was in a katoey bar & didn't know it. BWAhahaha!

He said he'd never mess with any Thai woman taller than 4.5 feet tall after we informed him of his folly.

Drugs are fun! (If u can handle them) ??

Nightclubbing from grace jones + some cocaine + drinks + perky company = great (and the soundtrack of my life 15 years ago) ???

Drugs are for people who can't handle reality.

Reality is for people who can't handle drugs.

Oh yeah, how on earth did they convert cocaine into a creme???

teacher suspended?, ped should be locked up until the investigation has run it's course.

 

mind you the investigation into 10 young girls from nakon nowhere,  being groped/abused by their teacher, will probably be less thorough than the investigation into the poor bunnies, image theft case.

Don't hang him high, just low & slow.

Mr. Potato-Head.

Not much choice but to bribe & pay in Thailand.

They probably have to bribe the cops they report the shake-downs to, just to get them to notice.

Makes one want to take a pumpkin & turn the cop's head into a Jack-O-Lantern.
