Take the money. It might get more dangerous if he pursues the case.

Photo-cops. No wonder there's never any arrests on Pattaya roads.

Unless you have a senior cop-in-your-pocket.

She would need a very good imagination to invent all those nonsensical figures they publish every other day.

Thais complicate everything. I park three times a week at a hotel with possibly 2000 parking spaces. Usually four of these spots are taken. Vast numbers of spaces are roped off. It takes two people to admit my car and issue me with a printed ticket which I have to get stamped by a 3rd assistant so I can leave. Surely it would be cheaper to have a co-driver to check for any children's bodies before they switch off the engine at the end of the day?

96 MILLION! AOT or TAT figures.

I've never seen one that big!

So totting up (guesswork only): seven police (the whole of Pattaya police force) armed with long poles with hoops on (AKA farang-catchers); four immigration officers laden with nine kilograms of papers from the last year of the Germans stay; six Public Health staffers with a certificate in artificial respiration (between them); five employees of the Pattaya News - one reporter and four photographers; and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

There will be the usual up-tick in drowning and deaths on the road from drunk drivers + the odd falling bullets from illegal guns; but Prayout has shown his Uncle face.

!

In so far as the whole of the Thai police force (except the envelope collectors) are in Bangkok guarding inconsequential politicians, this is a moot point.

When will they EVER get this many? As usual a monopoly results in stupid prices; it's probably cheaper to fly to Europe than the local islands.

No pointing; no crime. How do we know she didn't flog the phones?

How can Pattaya Plod tell? The only way is to stop & search; ask for passports; if no have, take to station. Welcome to Thailand. Wait till TAT hears about this!

It's the roads with curves that defeat Thai drivers. If the Romans had come this far there would be no problem.

Why would Thailand vote for another be-uniformed candidate who has no views or opinions but there to get his snout in?

Soi dogs and RTP are the biggest turn off for potential tourists. Get rid of both and the Banana Republic tag will go away.

'Pattaya Walking Street painting is now finished, and ready to impress tourists,'. Damn! I thought it said 'pointing.' I was looking forward to the photos.

Because local Plod can't tell the time.

Ah - there's the fault.

RTP do so little, they are continually dependent on whistle-blowers AKA 'concerned citizens'.

but only four will ever be open at one time.

You could say this of almost every Immigration office/police station across the land. It is so ingrained that the villains don't see it as corruption like a perk of the job.

The whole of Thailand suffers at the hands of six monopolies/cartels. They fix prices and supply. They are more powerful than the army or police who they bought long ago.

'They're all wrong.'
