  1. I like Trump's attempt: 'Thighland.' Or Lieland. Or Pie-in-the-Skyland.
  2. There's not one walk of life here that is not riddled with corruption - even the temples. That + an unwillingness to work does not augur well for Thailand's recovering economy.
  3. The real reason he continually fails to sort this problem is his brother-in-law is contracted to replenish Pattaya beach. Next up the mayor is going to sort out the laws of gravity.
  4. And they mock their neighbours in a smug superior way. Thais view Laos as its inferior despite them having vaccinated more % of their population. Myanmar is where their slaves come from. And farangs are merely 'dirty'.
  5. There's not a single area of Thai life that is not open to corruption; even the temples.
  6. Attended an abortive AZ clinic in Pattaya yesterday. (It was for Thais.) We were turned away at 10 past opening time (9am) because they only had 500 doses! When will Anutin realise that no-one wants his lucrative Chinese rubbish?
  7. Yes (floor 6). I went yesterday too as there was a an abortive AZ clinic for Thais. They were turning people away before opening time (9am) as they only had 500 doses. No wonder Chonburi is closed for business.
  8. Good luck with that figure. Educated Thais have already recoiled from having the Chinese vaccine (so beloved of Anutin!). I attended an abortive attempt in Pattaya yesterday for the AZ vaccine. They were turning people away well before opening time time (9am) as they only had 500 doses! No wonder Chonburi is closed for business.
  9. In a nutshell. But don't just stop at Education - widen your net to include politicians buying substandard vaccines; police ignoring crimes because there was nothing in it for them; hotels inventing patrons to qualify for grants ... please feel free to add;
  10. Prayuth & Co have given themselves immunity from the law so this action is merely grabbing a headline.
  11. Not for what they do. They are petty dictators in class; inflicting knowledge rather than imparting it. I did 39 years at the chalk-face in UK. Thai teachers would not cope with the work load for two days. Naturally I have taken a keen interest in Thai education matters; 'guest-starring' in a local school and overseeing a 'niece' who lived with us. I despaired of checking English homeworks because of the teacher's mistakes. A typical homework was 'cut & paste everything you can find on French Impressionists; print it out on your own printer.' A week later the 25 page assignment was returned with a single letter grade (A-) not withstanding a totally fictitious painter invented by me which I had inserted, devoting three paragraphs to a certain Alphonse De Gaulle.
  12. I know a motor bike taxi driver with one arm - works locally in Pattaya.
  13. The photo shows a police station under water so I guess the police will not be able to work again.
  14. Pattaya Pattaya have had a free double dose of Pfizer walk-in at Central Festival for a couple of months now.
  15. Thai teachers should learn to handle money. They have a sense of entitlement way beyond the job they half do. All the above plans usually boil down to writing off the debt which teaches them nothing so they repeat.
  16. How hard can it be to stop speeding? A few cameras ... oh, and a police force!
  17. Can't believe 200,000 tourists a month will flock here to watch the beach disappear.
  18. After years of providing the same to her customers.
