  1. It's the only one that pulls in the tourists; and it's nothing to do with 'soft' power!
  2. Is having to keep 800,000 in a Thai bank mulish?
  3. So the scammer was caught living in Bang Lamung aged 34. What sort of visa did he have? He was allegedly sending expensive gifts from abroad.
  4. Pattaya police view taxi drivers as The Untouchables. Not one has been arrested for not using their meters in the last TEN years.
  5. There was a similar incident in Pattaya last week with a mentally deranged cop. Added to the child massacre last year would suggest random checks are insufficient.
  6. How do you condone an area? With lots of 'likes'?
  7. In answer to the question in the headline, here's another one; 'Would you buy a used car from this man?'
  8. Lots of classrooms in Thai schools have students on roll who never attend lessons yet are credited with pass-marks at the end of the course.
  9. This plane is needed desperately now Thai Air have scrapped free tickets for VIPs and their gardeners.
  10. Prawit the Chivalrous; he loves the ladies.
  11. My cop S-i-L was demoted & lost the use of a car for not 'earning' enough.
  12. I live in a house with a big garden. I never go in it in case I meet even a little one. I sleep badly, convinced there's a four metre python in my attic. My snake phobia helped me on my new career as a writer; my short story about a real encounter was my first paid gig with The Pattaya Trader.
  13. S/He'll be charged with causing Pattaya police to work after the hours of darkness. I've wandered about that building at 1am desperately seeking a working cop. I now know to climb a pole outside to get some attention.
  14. I visited Bang Saen for a couple of weekends. It's like the Wild West with not a sign of any police anywhere; complete mayhem on the roads ALL night. It's a University town so lots of young people with a death wish.
  15. What is the solution? I've been banging on about Pattaya/Sattahip cops for years having fallen foul of them personally & witnessed their blatant extortion up close first hand. Almost daily there are RTP scandals reported across the country. Thailand will always be deemed a Banana Republic until it introduces Law & Order.
  16. Yet nothing is done; nothing has been done (in my 20 years here) and nothing will be done except have meetings.
  17. Most sensible adults would support the easing of these daft rules; the problem is there is a dearth of such people in Thailand.
  18. whilst killing thousands annually with lung cancer.
  19. Motor bike taxis give lazy Thais an excuse to lounge about on street corners indulging their smoking hobby.
