Meanwhile, a village headman allegedly involved in the incident has resigned, while police officers, who also reportedly played a part in the incident, have been dismissed pending investigation.
This sentence certainly gives the impression that the Thais were up to no good..

No... Mityon provide pick up service. Jomtien area to Pattaya Tai is 300 Baht. Unfortunately I have had to use this service a couple of times. So go down to Big Bike and arrange. Obviously you will be paying more to go out to the lake area.
In Thai it's called ka joke..fee for p/u service.

Where? Most seem to be overpriced by farang owners trying to claw their money back from currency crashes due to the strong baht.
I've been offered one for 3 million baht that cost 1million baht ten years ago. Real estate can appreciate but not at three hundred percent over that time frame and certainly not a condo.
Not that often you get to see a post that is so completely wrong... 555
Those foreign currency "crashes" mean the owners would actually make a profit when figured in their own currencies, which they were required to bring into Thailand to purchase the condo.
And real estate can not appreciate 300% in ten years? You haven't been paying attention have you?

The biggest province in Canada is trying this on? Allowing private retailers isn't enough trade off for delaying easy access for almost 6 months..
This will be interesting. I'm guessing this "plan" will not survive the push-back..

My experiences with laminate flooring (in two places) was meh. It "floats" and it sounds like walking on a high school dance floor in the gymnasium.
That's not a negative if you don't like walking on tiles in bare feet..like me.

We have almost as much oil reserves as they do...
Unfortunately from a business point of view, we actually have a beautiful country. Not a giant sandbox. This makes approving and constructing pipelines a delicate political exercise.

Yet Vespa can produce a 300 using the same frame as their 125 & 150.
Scomadi are also releasing a 400 & 450 scooter using the same frame as their 125 & 20

And that's a good thing?
I have sat on the Vespa ... too small.

Another great idea.
These are outlawed in many states in the US after they found that they increased the number of accidents rather than reduced them.
People were so afraid of getting a ticket that they’d lock up theirs brakes when the light turned yellow, get rear ended and then pushed out into the intersection to maybe be hit by another car.
In Minnesota, the state even ended up refunding the money people paid for tickets. T
This almost qualifies as "fake news".. I googled after reading this and the truth is far from what you state. Side-impact collisions were very definitely reduced while rear-end collisions were up slightly but less injuries. Better warning signs are needed. Also the longer the cameras are in operation the less motorists will be surprised by their presence, so fewer rear-end collisions.
The main issue is contracting out the issuance of tickets to private for-profit companies. This is a not a good idea, similar to for-profit prisons, in that there is no incentive to reduce infractions.

Oh.. and the offenders will pay up. Vehicle registrations are linked to unpaid fines now,

Red light cameras will be a money-maker. Most people are happier with them than speed-control cameras because people can imagine themselves being T-Boned by one of theses all to common red light runners...

For once - I’m quite happy to be a member of TV. Many posts , don’t really give a damn - and condemn the attitude of the expats ( oops sorry sexpats)
We live here- because we have escaped from the PC crazy, controlling , grey, cold , ageist , miserable home countries.
I am not some super member of TV - but I am consistent- I loathe the punters - the men who think it is totally socially acceptable to pay for sex.
This is my home - I hate the reputation it has around the world .
So OP - go about what good people do -don’t exploit poor girls - for a bit of stimulation of the nerve endings in your glans .
Be a decent human being
Up until the last few sentences you were doing fine. Well, not really fine because your post actually argued both pro-libertarian and pro puritan positions. Expressing your opinion.. It's just an opinion though, one of many out there.
The (judgemental) misstep was your urging that other people adopt your opinion. This very human failing is a unfortunately much too common and the cause of an unbelievable amount of chaos on this planet.
Everyone (until we are replaced by AI) works for a wage. Brains and brawn are for sale on the open market...
yada yada yada

“The best strains of cannabis in the world 20 years ago were from Thailand, and now Canada has developed this strain until up to this day, we can’t claim that ours is the best in the world anymore," said Dr. Nopporn Cheanklin, executive managing director of the GPO. “That’s why we must develop our strain to be able to compete with theirs.”

Let the strain wars begin..

They may have a private entrance, but the defining characteristic of a condo is that you own the space enclosed within your unit.
You don't even own the walls, floor or ceiling- much less the land it sits on (why foreigners can own condos- their ownership doesn't include the land). Just the space. So even if there is a private entrance, occupants have to cross common property to enter that private space.
You are not completely correct with regards to condos..
While you hold title to your condo, you also own, in common with the other owners, the building and the land it occupies. That is the "common property" or areas.
This is a concept that escapes many purchasers.

I would respectfully disagree with you Briggsy..
Former Justice Minister Paiboon Khumchaya definitely started the ball rolling on this issue. His reasons for doing so are well-recorded. He has moved on to a seat on the Privy Council, a position of perhaps even more influence. Thailand's prison system is heavily overloaded and changes are being considered.
The Sangha is in disarray and the monks managed to live with the two main plants for many centuries. The current attitude is much more recent. In fact, my own early visits predate it. Bangkok was wide open in the early '70's.
Thailand and many other countries will be watching Canada's experience closely.
Lastly, the bill opening the door to this has already passed first reading and since it's government sponsored, one could think that it might be a big policy step taken before the elections to come.

Not those kind of moths.. The reason I am 100% sure is.. I can spot them several meters away. I pick them off the wall and throw them outside. Otherwise, they continue to go as high as they can, usually the ceiling, where they hatch out and leave the casing hang there forever..
