Liverpool Lou

Are you meaning there are other laws that fit that catogory? Or are you refering something else Mr Liverpool Lou. Interpret it as you see fit, Mr itsari.

But Lou nobody was talking about Indians in Thailand, you specifically mentioned Indian business owners in Pattaya. And I was asking how you KNOW that they are Thai citizens. That's the reason that I specifically mentioned Pattaya, which I believe is still in Thailand. I did not say that I know that the "Indians" to whom you refer are Thais, I said, factually, that many "Indians" have Thai nationality and that could apply to those operating businesses in Pattaya.

Have you considered speaking to your Chinese neighbours about promoting it to/through their community?

Huh? Isn't this an English language only forum?

So "appropriately" that it's generated exactly zero interest!

Yes. Listing prices and real value are never the same!

Not being snarky Lou but how can you be sure of that, have you been round and interviewed them all.? It seems that you are being snarky...have you interviewed them? I posted "many Indians", not "them all" [sic]. No one needs to interview all the "Indians" in business in Pattaya (and the rest of Thailand) to know that a lot of Indians in Thailand are, in fact, naturalised Thais.

My money would be on neither! Nor Colliers Thailand or the Employment Department.

Part-owned, but, so what?

It's not on its own, there.

Never heard that one before, aren't you confusing it with " being too big for one's britches"?

"No, so you can't go naked on a balcony". That's in the US, so, very obviously, irrelevant to Thailand.

You expect private land owners to build car parks for the public on their land?

How? Just out of interest. And when?

...and aren't in the least concerned (they have a tendency to be curious) about a few tiny humans who are not disrupting their food supply. 'Nuff said, indeed.

This is so sad. They can't just turn around and go to a 7-11 for their food. They are in their natural arena. The humans aren't. You are not a diver. How do you know that I'm not a diver but what is the relevance of that, anyway? Are you seriously suggesting that humans shouldn't venture into the sea (or any water because that's not our "arena" also)? That means banning swimming, paddling and all water sports.

This is so sad. They can't just turn around and go to a 7-11 for their food. You're right, and so sad also, they can't go to a 7-11 but they can just open their 4-foot wide mouths and gulp down gallons of plankton-containing water which is all they need.

Gawd. Pretty good guess, though, considering that the bike was owned by a foreigner, he looked like a foreigner and, if he was a Thai national, he would, more than likely, have carried his Thai ID card as they have to by law.

Doesn't take much. A person riding a bike at, say, just 40kph, that stops dead on hitting another object, continues travelling at 40kph because of kinetic energy; they don't stop with the bike. Low speed can easily send them across the road.

Could there be a connection here?

They follow the food, we are rhe ones who interupt their natural seasonal wandering for food. And, if they're bothered, as they're big boys, they can swim away but I doubt that they give a flying fish about a few humans swimming near them which can hardly be described as interrupting their natural seasonal wandering for food. There's no shortage of plankton or places to find it.

What was the drivel?

Only if playing for money, i,e, gambling, otherwise it is fine.

They can swim away if they're bothered by humans.

Yes, whale sharks and some hammerheads are protected.
