The article reminded me of the unfinished overpasses on the railway line between Cha-Am and Hua Hin. They have been left part built with the protruding rebar ready for the next concrete pour exposed to the elements for around three years. I bet that's not in the civil engineers code of practice handbook.

Why you should never leave a negative hotel review in Thailand
WHansen replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You see the fear of negative rating reprisals on Lazada all the time. Before knowing what I now know, when looking at products I would always check the seller/product ratings, 5 stars out of 5, they/it must be good I would think. Then a dodgy product would arrive. "How is this possible, I checked the ratings" I would say to my girlfriend. Not being able to read Thai was my downfall. Showing my girlfriend the reviews, it became apparent that even if a Thai gets ripped off or is unhappy with service or product quality, they always give 5 stars but then go on to explain that the product was useless or damaged during transit etc. Strange but true, at first glance the seller is great and so is the product, dig deeper and the seller is useless and so is the product. My fault I know, but how weird is it to give top marks when you're not happy. I always let the boss check the product reviews before buying now. -

Some good points being discussed. Although i do believe the industry needs to be reigned in because it's a free for all at the moment, i would like to see more done to combat alcohol and Yaba abuse. Every day we read about the carnage on the roads from drunk drivers and Yaba users falling asleep after being awake for extended periods. It is not just on the roads, the sensless murders that seem to be reported daily are probably due in part to alcohol and Meth abuse. Prolonged use of Yaba (crazy medicine in Thai) messes with the brain inducing severe paranioa which combined with fragile Thai psyche is a dangerous combination. I'm not knocking alcohol or weed, i use both in moderation.

Barriers to transgender people accessing Thailand’s healthcare system

Fragile attention seekers in my opinion. Doing more harm to their cause than good with all these claims of persecution and shouting at the top of their voices. We get it, give it a rest. -

In a country where the average wage is so very low, it is easy to understand how so many people get caught up in this type of scam. The promises of a great wage and a better standard of living seems to make some forget about the risks. I hope they manage to get their money back from the scum agents.

It needs to be reclassified, it is out of control. What most smokers fail to realise is they are a small minority and weed is only tolerated and not accepted in countries where it is legal. His arguments for weed not to be reclassified is stretching the truth massively. And before i get slated.....i am a daily smoker of nearly 40 years and have spent a great deal of time in the Netherlands where as mentioned, although legal, is only tolerated.
