South Pattaya Residents Fed Up with Restaurants Allegedly Throwing Trash in Canal
Reminds me of a converstion I had with a Thai lady once who asked isnt Thailand beautiful? Yes, I said but too much rubbish everywhere. Oh yes she says, but its beautiful isnt it. No I said, too much rubbish! I could stay there all day saying the same thing. She could not see the correlation between rubbish everywhere and the place not being very beautiful. I sometimes think they just dont see it.

Pattaya Police Chief Teams Up with Kuwaiti Ambassador to Tackle Kuwaiti Motorbike Racers
My guess is the notes asking for the offenders to drop by the police station when convenient are not working. Suppose its too much to ask the police to go out and actually 'police' the area with it being so hot and the internet signal for their phones never as good as it is behind their desks. Can they not offer rewards for locals to rat them out?

Pita ready to step aside if his party fails to win senators’ hearts
I read it differently. Yes he says he will step down but only after doing everything possible to form a government. I think he is asking the people to reinforce their vote for him, to be heard supporting him against the senators, whether that is by social media, protests in the street, boycott of senators business interests etc. etc.

I find the yanks over use music to dramatise, whereas the British dont and its more about the quality of the story and the actors.

Facial recognition - and other Thai banking fiascos!! - YMMV
Generally speaking he is correct. Thais USUALLY dont complain to anybody and especially anybody of what may be seen as a higher staus. In my village no-one will ring PEC when there are power problems. My wife and her family refuse point blank. Its seen as complaining about their service meaning a loss of face. One time we were running on half power for two weeks because no-one would call. You should get out from under your rock lol!

Facial recognition - and other Thai banking fiascos!! - YMMV
I had the same happen, home branch is Minburi, Bangkok but we live in Isaan. I was told I would have to travel to bangkok for a new card. No way around it. Ended up closing the a/c and paying a fee to open a new a/c nearby. They seem to catch you which-ever way!

Giant Centipedes
When living in bangkok we had some vacant land next door that some of the neighbours used to garden in. Often times these big centipedes would be flushed out, especially after rain. A couple of the ladies used to bbq them saying they tasted just like goong!
