Some more great imagery.

Did you have to go back the following day to pick up your passport? I was baffled by the fact that after all documents are checked the IO doesn't grant the visa there and then. I assume it's so Immigration can collect a share of the 40 baht car parking fee for the two minutes it takes to collect your passport the next day.

The only way to get Pattaya's invisible police to work.

A rare moment of congratulation from me for Pattaya BIB. I'd love to know how this was achieved without 'acting on information received'.

Thank you.

Tried to find it but TPB seems to have stopped working for me. Anyone give me a new favourite address?

I thought four-letter words were censored on this site?

I thought Walking Street was a RTP sub-station with a permanent police presence? Does the rest of the invisible force wander round in the dark with its eyes shut?

It's so startling when a Thai accepts responsibility for his wrong doing that it has to be commented on by the media.

I wonder what the 40K workers did?

Callous. A life sentence behind bars should be standard.

No other country would accept 50 Thai police officers.

Plod will investigate but never does anything about this simple maxim.

There is a genre known as Fiction which brings untold pleasure to millions.

Me (and apparently - you.) I enjoy his distinctive writing style. You're not meant to take his stories as gospel.

I thought these careers were for Thais only? (And the drug dealing.)

Obviously with not enough men. 'the suspect smashed a window and leapt from a third-floor balcony, evading capture with the gun in hand.'

Ex-pats do so as a matter of course and not because of jelly fish.

There's a novelty.

'They' was the sorting office. They photograph each (important?) package & allocate it to a delivery guy. They wrote the wrong number which was compounded by the insouciant guy tossing it over a fence without getting a signature. The Spanish Embassy approved my (GF's) application within three days. They have not delivered a single piece of mail addressed in English in six years; Xmas/birthday cards binned. More importantly they did not deliver my Proof of Life form from the DWP which meant my State pension was stopped, causing me great stress and complication.

It's the only place in Pattaya that we see a regular police presence unless you count the uniforms on show outside Beach Road police station.

BIB = Boys in Brown. RTP in whatever location have the tools but just don't use them. Sometimes it's laziness; a desire to stay in A/C comfort; other times it's for financial reasons.

'The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing' My whingeing is mostly aimed at RTP & in particular Pattaya's Kwaistone cops. Do I take it you see no wrong there?

Wearing a short skirt. Not me.

Now she has revealed the winning number, the price of 10818 will go through the roof. (In any case, the winning ticket has usually been sold to a Hi-So, before the draw.)
