  1. I is not the heat that is a problem, but the humidity. If low humidity heat is easily manageable, used to 42 i the shade in Yemen, but almost zero humidity. JUST a blip why do people moan and groan
  2. Polce reform is two words, uttered every-time some Policeofficers get it wrong. There are TWO major problems with this. those that used internal corruption to get where they are want to see a return o their efforts and actions thereby hindering any real internal reform and the the other point is the PUBLIC. The Police need the public to Police effectively sadly virtually ALL trust is gone, Police not taking action as there is nothing in it for them ( quite from a recently retired RTP friend of mine ) plus the vast web of enterprises the Police are involved in officially or unofficially which `show that they are corrupt. If you sort out the first then the second will follow.
  3. So living here for over TWO decades { will be made to wear a MASK should I visit a Holiday Spot o stop what the transmission of a disease I picked up in my current home town 600 odd KMs away from Bangkok . Please can someone with a BRAIN educate the The Thai Government employee that thought this up , Maybe enter them into the Guiness Book of world records for stupidity
  4. No we do not SEND, BUT it seems some of our worst find their way to Thailand where compromise the answer to many problems
  5. e to the SO educated American Teen get is comeuppance. Typical mouth opens and complete rubbish comes out. Deport him never to return !!
  6. One poster hit the al on the head, for some Thai Polie no reward means no policing and sadly any officer who siad to me karma would not be greeted with a wai, more a formal complaint . The attitude of all of the officers involved beggars belief and this story should make the rounds internationally, to waqrn people of the incompetence and downright laziness of the RTP .
  7. Interesting story and the Governor is worried about foreigners. Really when your own backdoor criminals are throwing Molotov cocktails !!!!!
  8. While I do not condone Foreign workers working illegally, as in many countries one has to ask the questio if the job is reserved for THAIS WHY DO THAIS not want to work in those jobs. Possibly pure employers greed paying less or maybe the employer is a bad person and Thais have no intention or working for them/ Either way the reasons should be examined rather than just deal with the illegality .
  9. Well iof the TN were not so incapable they would not have lost a frigate in hugh seas, or even tried to blow one up with a stray shell from another ship. So theu have proven themselves incompetent, a fleet of smaller offshore patrol boats would be better suited in my book ur
  10. Although the incident is serious in nature, anyone notice that loads of Thais did nothing, had it been a Thai man, loads of THAI WOULD HAVE JOINED IN TO FIGHT< BUT HELP THE POLICE >>>>NARRY A ONE> Now that tells you something !!!
  11. !0 k is too low a figure for the parnts, should have been the maximum , no prison,with the children 10 years each. Sadly another typical cowardly act by THAi males who think that gangs can do whatever they like . the relatives of the victim are probably horrified .
  12. Good idea, illogical questions on the most part and sadly fail to see how this could affect National Security, but then as it is mainly Thais complaining, not surprised anything to do with the Monarchy s off limits
  13. Ah the Thai cultural Face saving and ego maniacs ruling the roads. All hail the nighty egomaniacs who are supposed to ferry tourists. Remove their licences for 12 months ( not that will deter them riding/ driving )
  14. The offendr should be immediately suspended pending the outcome and if found guilty, dismissed and lose any pension privilges . there is MO excuse for his behaviour and any police officer from anywhere who does this should be dismissed.
  15. So TWO so-called ( never heard of them internationally ) eminent doctors are having a spat over the cause of a possible problem following an MRNA vaccine which may or may not affect a living person and hasten that persons death. #Well done eminent DOCTORS , NOW you have sowed the seed of doubt so many will NOW not ge follow-up vaccinations to protect themselves and loosen the current general vaccination status of the whole country putting the REST of the population at risk. I wish I was that clever !!!!!
  16. Whle I recognise the need for security and safety regarding so-called VIP Motorcades involving royalty, often ad i have been subject to it the extremely long time one has to wait for a one vehicle motorcade with numerous POLICE VEHICLES ,for an extremely long time . OCE stopped as the motoprcade was passing through a nearby town 20 km away and took another 10 minutes to pass me. t Seems over the top considering in the UK with planning and sup[port minimal disruotion is caused at anytime and ALL MOTORCADES follow the law and never speed onl;y ignore traffic lghtsd naturally. Sad the RTP seem incapable of finding out how to move the Royal Family around without the immense disrution they seem to enjoy making the population suffer when all the public really want to do is to go to work, and take care of their families`, Not wait for up to 15 minuites for one person or maybe two to pass by without stop[p[ing or caring the problems caused by the RTP to daily life . `
  17. Off to source a really good waterproof bag to carry my phone and important bits. pl;uis a good lawyers numbger to deal with the people I HIT FOR Splashing me as I walk about just working
  18. Again we see sen ior npeop;e nte;;omg related agencies to dop the job one assumes they are employed to do. We have had senior POLICE TELL officers to do the job and now other agencies being told to do a job. Is it that THAILAND seems to employ staff from the senior to the junior p[ositions who maybe cannot do the taqsk they are supposed to do. ONE has to ask so many incompetent people being paid by taxpayers cash.
  19. No mention of an arrest yet, no wonder the Thais have no faith in the POLICE> If my child would need an ambulance for both of them !!
  20. Judging by many comments, I do not suppose for one minute that the political Organisations will benefit from the vote from a group of people who as far as I can determine from comments a group of people fuelled by the hatred of a country that provides many of them with sustenance even though many of them do not really deserve it . Good idea in my book can at last have a minuite say on how my UK TAX IS spent m
  21. While adter living here for over 20 years one becomes accustomed top the CULTURAL requirements of living here. THais themselves are in my opinion one of the most HYP{OCRITICAL countries when it comes to Cultural norms.They say they are BUDDHISTS< never have I seen more abuse of Bubbhist Norms than here. They trash any venue and the waste left is stupendous, their Family life is beset with abuse and even murder. AND yet they get upset by two tourists sun-bathing in bikinis, walk down any street with bars, women there wear far less an openly. AS FAR AS I CAn see ANY opportunity to bash tourists while saying they must obey cultural norms smacks of over-zealous nationalistic fervour
  22. Which off4icial thought for one minute that an Emergency Bridge system is for children to play on or use. Hopefully not a father if so pity his children. Such a senseless accident using equipment designed for vehicles as a childrens toy it seems.
  23. Oh dear , many concerned about being RACIST, how pathetic, missing out the simple fact this man a mere 30 something thinks it is normal to act this way and you are worried abou8t racist comments. Find him, emasculate him ( literally ) _ and leave him alone.
  24. The real question is how many continued to drive immediately after being found to be over the limit . P0ses a question should the POLICE NOW BE liable if such a person then has an accident . Many stopped pay money ( fine / bribe ) call it what you want and THEN continue driving. The Police must therefore be liable as they are condoning the continued breaking of the law !!!!
  25. The surprise is that it is NOT lower, considering the hype, the public announcements etc. But seasoned expats and many Thais these figures come as no surprise considering daily the toll is bad and after speaking over the yeas to many Thais, it s called Kerma, a sort of matter of fact acceptance of their fate often at the hands of people who care little for anyone else, completely alien to the BUDDHIST Faith
