  1. He has no sense of irony when uttering this public BS.
  2. This was inevitable once Thailand signs ANY contract with China. No refunds; take it or lose your deposit (commissions for which have already been spent.) The sub is available much cheaper at any branch of MR. DIY.
  3. Start in Pattaya where not ONE single taximeter has a working meter thanks to the special relationship the drivers have with their pals-in-brown.
  4. We knew it would come; a vaccine to inject Thais with baht. Is the programme open to farangs?
  5. Whilst shortening the queues by scrutinising the entrant in 30 seconds?
  6. As the senate is 99% Army it is hardly likely they will bite the hand that feeds them. Srettha doesn't have enough/any guns.
  7. Thais won't do jobs that entail work.
  8. Ditto & I've lived there for five years. During this time I've seen ONE cop riding a motor bike following a pick-up belching black smoke. He was breathing through the sleeve of his uniform by riding one handed. No arrest was made as the cop turned into Tops.
  9. Sounds like a very credible witness free of any ulterior motives.
  10. 200 a year spread over three years will set the Cambodian Army massing on the border.
  11. Their share of the swag had obviously been already agreed upon.
  12. It was announced there would be no tolls on the Sirat Highway on Maka Bucha Day until there were.
  13. This anti-foreigner sentiment is gaining traction particularly on the roads where Chinese tourists are killed regularly on a weekly basis.
  14. Agree. In EVERY walk of Thai society, corruption is endemic. Now is it Nature or Nurture? I cannot believe Thai children are born bent so they must learn it by observation. I firmly believe that the average Thai first meets corruption by interaction at the village policeman level
  15. In most countries criminals are often told not to leave the country, except in Thailand where they are encouraged to do so. I hope he got a UK Visitor visa without any trouble. I wonder if he used an agent?
  16. The real reason for the job which may start any year soon.
  17. The knife wielding abusive POS will disappear to another location where he will set up shop again.
  18. 'Meticulously' is not a word usually employed to describe a Government department except when employed in a witch-hunt instigated by ineffectual companies jealous of the foreigners' success.
