    Pattaya police's laissez-faire policy continues to pay dividends.

    Sounded like prostitution to me until I remembered Pattaya police have decreed there isn't any.

    I think many, in official capacities, don't see they are part of the wider picture; they are in their own closed space. Just as Thais will blunder into others without seeing them, officials have a very narrow concept of what their job entails.

    He looked deaf to me.

    I watched every episode of 'The Bureau' (5 series?) - an absolute gem.

    I watched the 1st episode of 'The Agency' last night. Despite a stellar cast (Fassbender/Gere) it was unbelievably dull.

    I agree with the OP. Bedding is extremely expensive & (often) of poor quality. I bought my 100% cotton sheets from an Indian suppliers near TukCom. They tore very quickly. My TGF cut them and sewed them together. She sleeps muffled in a duvet and I get the (now) single sheet. I would be grateful for a tip on where to buy the afore mentioned Chinese stuff.

    Most Thai dog owners are deaf and ignore their pets' noise which can go on for hours at night (in my experience). I do not condone this offence but have often thought of tossing poisoned food in the direction of the owner.

    Immediate sacking offence. Lots of Thais in official capacities do nothing because it's easier.

    The difference is, the UK Force police the roads. Here they only appear after the event.

    Why do we only see a bevy of cops when there is a photo-op?
  12. mikebell
    I think having rice three times a week is a possible cause.

    Meanwhile on every corner, meat is marinated in carbon monoxide for hours in 30+ temperatures served by someone with no toilet/hand-washing facilities surrounded by dogs whilst sending dense clouds of smoke obscuring the road and contributing to the Thai haze.

    My neighbourhood Swedes drink at home; loudly until the early hours disturbing those with jobs, babies and dogs.

    I've started doing it when I see a cop in Pattaya.

    After enduring a month of English summer where the temperature rarely reached 17, it's a brisk 24 here at 7.30 and I am considering putting a shirt on!
  17. mikebell
    Exactly my first thoughts; there does not seem to be a Thai word for 'maintenance'.
  18. mikebell
    I never buy any shoes. I just trade them in at any shop which insists you go in barefooted.

    It's nearly the end of the month.

    Stepfathers are actual motherfockers.

    Silly me. I bought & paid 100% for every brick; every stick of furniture; every plant in the garden and thought that equals ownership! Meanwhile an ex-Prime Minister was buying and owning 100% three UK houses AND a football club!

    It saves the police doing anything resembling work.

    My son was held to ransom when his sisters sent him some Honey Locketts for his birthday. Because he lives in Bangkok he suffers from a persistent cough. It cost him far more than 35 baht to liberate them. It's a scam; a thriving industry, for as long as I can remember.

    Once Pattaya forms a Police force, these taxi drivers will have to obey the law.
  25. mikebell
    Plod rapidly on the scene after the event.
