  1. You forgot rabid dogs and predatory police.
  2. The scruffy individual who extorted my wife wore a brown uniform.
  3. He'll be back on the beat in 48 hours after a wai, 200 baht fine and a million in a brown envelope.
  4. Do they have committees for every thing? I believe Prawit is on over 300; it's the free lunches that attract him.
  5. Forewarned is forearmed. I bet you could test 329 patrons in any pub in the world and get better (worse) figures than these.
  6. Unless you are one of the few in power who is being paid to look the other way.
  7. I've been a full-time non-resident for nineteen years.
  8. As opposed to the polystyrene ones that silt up the system for months?
  9. How can you tell the difference between the invisible cops of Pattaya and those of Sattahip? Having suffered at the hands of both, I can tell you there is no difference.
  10. Thainess. This story is just above the robbery of a wheelchair bound victim. Isn't it about time Pattaya got a police force?
  11. Another triumph for Pattaya Plod in stamping out speedsters. I venture out on the roads about four times a week. I never see a cop but watch horrified at the four vehicles who run EVERY red light; keeping a wary eye in my rear mirror for the speedsters who are going to undertake and veer in front of me. Why are traffic police never seen?
  12. Well that's a relief! I thought the pictures were post by TAT.
  13. The auctions are secret & only the police/generals are invited. I am appalled (but not surprised) that the Thai Justice system, AKA Baht, is allowing him to continue to enjoy the benefits of his corruption.
  14. You cannot educate dog owners; they are blinded by sentimentality. Thailand is 80 years behind Europe in dog legislation/enforcement because of people like you. The average uneducated Thai sees nothing wrong with allowing dogs to run freely in traffic; to defecate/urinate anywhere even in school playgrounds; owners are deaf to their pets' noise throughout the night. This insensitivity, I suggest, is not solely due to emotion but perhaps a lack of intelligence?
  15. It tastes as good coming up as it does going down (after 12 pints.)
  16. A former brother-in-law used to make a living out of making the local police arrest stats look good. He would confess to a variety of crimes and get paid 300 baht a day in Surin.
  17. Never found one to equal my take-away in Burnley both on taste/quality/price. Why is Indian food so much more expensive than that in UK?
  18. I thought the omnipotent Prayuth had banned these? Would the perpetrator have robbed another disabled male in a rare mano-a-mano?
  19. The photo looks like end of shift at the town hall.
  20. With 40 million baht I could buy a little place in Europe that does not have a crooked police force; roaming packs of (rabid) dogs; annual floods/droughts. Hmn - choices, choices.
  21. At least RTP is better than Columbia and India! What an achievement!
  22. The 2nd charge is the more serious one and sometimes carries the death penalty.
