Most of the smoke comes from other countries is true. the problem is the other countries are poor. burning is best for them. so who is going to pay the price to stop the smoke. It will not be a small number. maybe an increase in the price of rice with the requirment to stop buring. if caught buring, then fine them because they now have more money. of course, thai has to remain competitve

What to do if Thai police stop you and attempt a ‘shake-down’
ebean001 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have lived in other countries. it is best to pay your fine directly to the police. it is up to them to report it. this makes it simple for foreingers. it should be stanard practice. the alternative...arrest, court, lawyer, go to someplace you cannot find to pay fine....it really coild be a standard police to pay on the spot. they did it once where i lived in thaland. people got stopped. they completed a ticket, the person paid, and off they went. good idea. -

Thai government defends foreign land ownership plan
ebean001 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
how about someone who has lived here 15 years and spends 100,000b per month and already has a house but in daughter name. -
i actually honor Thailand for their driving behavior. there has never been a police stop of an individual car that i have seen in 15 years i have lived here. in USA there has been mulitple murders at traffic stops. huge fines. The drivers here are well discipline compared to other countries. i guess i am missing something in my 15 years here.

Lucky old you in Thailand with a young wife
ebean001 replied to webfact's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
i suggest you stop thinking of sex, etc. young woman probably not suited to be a good wife but can be. my point is being young is not the selling point for me. there are 24 hours in the day. what are you doing for 23 hours of it. give me a happy lady who i can make even happier. good enough for me. yes, her appearance must be acceptable but age is not the most key factor. -
Tourist Numbers Expected to More Than Triple in 2023
ebean001 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
i hope for tourism. it is a way the country makes money and they need less from me. i only wish they would set rules that encourages tourism. Bars should be able to be open until 2am. In fact, in big tourist area around the world, bars are open 24 hours. give the bars freedom when they have many customers who are having fun at 2am. it does not hurt anyone. The bar is making money. the employees are making money but most imporant the tiurist is having a good time. Why stop it? Remember, and never forget it, tourist have options. Tourist also communicate a lot. One big mistake and it will cost maybe 100s of tourist. -
Just tested positive- AAAAH! What next?
ebean001 replied to Hanaguma's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
all 3 friends went like this...home tested positive. sore throat, no temp, weak for 2 to 3 days. home test again on 3rd day...negative. then negative, negative. each was vaccinated with 2 shots. I think many get the virus and never know it. I have a riend who never tested. had the above systems and thought it was a cold. finally after 4 days they tested negative. -
Has Thailand reached the top of the Covid curve?
ebean001 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
here is a major count problem. many people get self tested at home. They get the virus but feel a little sick...sore throat, weak, little temperature. They stay home, take a drug, get better. Many do this. they never show up in the numbers. -
I have been brainwashed by American safety video that reminded me constantly ... "Speed kills". This flashes thru my mind when i drive. I got going to fast yesterday on my bike and all of a sudden the road turned to gravel. ooops. Too fast but i stayed upright. Once i was driving and around the turn there was a door in my lane. just the other day there was a large auto part in my lane. i advise everyone to slow down. it is things like i mention that can be very surprising. ... and can cause horrible accidents.

The high speed train to China from Chiang Mai to be completed 2017. Ooops, that did not happen but China now has a train to Laos. my question is this...China has almost 30,000 klms of track. If Thailand had connect with China, it would have been connected to nearly all people in China...including ex-pats. What would Thailand be like today?

i would like to see a casino in Thailand but it is probably a bad idea. Thais have been prevented from gambling. This adds pent up desires. way too many would go who would lose money they call aford.
