  1. Meanwhile on the roads, death-dealing speedsters and red-light runners are ignored every minute of every day.
  2. I'm biding my time till the UKP gets back to 70+ again.
  3. None of the Senate would qualify on these grounds; they get paid for nodding their heads when commanded.
  4. Dark glasses to ensure no one notices them looking away while mayhem takes place all about. Portable A/C units to compensate them for leaving the office for a couple of hours a day. Elasticated waistband for their corpulence to grow in comfort. A computer tablet so they can while away their time ignoring speedsters and redlight runners.
  5. The designs are not too bad for a 15 year old Thai.
  6. The Railway Road AKA The Graveyard; ignored by police every minute of every day, particularly during Rush Hour.
  7. To be shared equally among the above supporters for their pet projects.
  8. Another corrupt institution where wrong-doers escape proper punishment. Anyone trying to import stuff is subject to blackmail before their legitimate stuff is released by these crooks.
  9. Thai will never be competitive till Hi-sos are made to pay for their tickets. Ordinary folk can't compete with the politicians using Thai for their personal junkets.
  10. 51% of the price yet you only own 49% of the property + you could lose it all at the whim of a Thai court. Not a good deal for pensioners.
  11. So they do work if any cop ever bothered to check! Think of the number of speedsters/redlight runners the cops could nab with the added bonus of saving lives.
  12. What was a temple doing with ivory tusks? How do you destroy a wall of gold with your bare hands?
  13. They keep them in a jam jar on the mantlepiece.
  14. I've written two volumes about life in Thailand and specifically life & death in Pattaya. Maybe my invite is stuck in the post?
  15. The UK Guardian newspaper today reports a huge upturn in Russians buying 1 million+$ mansions; no explanation of how these draft-dodgers circumvented Thai property owning laws.
  16. Why is he driving a car with the steering wheel on his left?
  17. The main one being the conspicuously absent police presence?
  18. Doing what? Identifying the speeding, illegal driver; checking what food he was delivering? That might take two phone calls.
  19. AKA police who dislike working at night in case they meet any bad people; (they also dislike working during the day because it's hot.)
  20. Another one? When do Thais work? The police get so many weekends off it's hardly worth popping into the station these days.
  21. Classic Catch 22 situation. Testify & Prawit will learn your name; don't testify & he will be exonerated.
  22. Hi-So Thais who are connected and so eligible for freebies.
