    As a fellow writer, I'd like to jump to the defence of the author. I liked his jaunty style and some of his imagery was excellent.

    Every couple of years there are feasibility studies, (costing millions) for monorails. None come to fruition simply because baht bus/taxi drivers will not allow it.

    If you allow your dogs to wonder freely, not on a lead, you can't grumble at what may happen to it. (This goes for the Pitbull owner too.) Roaming dogs cause accidents - chasing motorbikes/running in front of cars; indiscriminately bite kids; urinate & defecate on every soi, whilst their owners, (sometimes wearing face masks in the interest of HEALTH) ignore the disease-spreading potential (not just rabies).

    Kwaistone cops.

    Yet no one gives a hoot about the daily slaughter on the roads.

    Must try harder.

    Check out the number of new millionaires in 2008.

    There'll be more quarrelling over declining customer numbers when TDAC starts to bite.

    'Police Officers Undergo Firearms Refresher Training to Boost Operational Efficiency'! A headline oxymoron. Police officers and operational efficiency should never appear in the same sentence. I never understand from whence all these police materialise. You never see one for months then, produce a camera, and hordes of photo-cops miraculously appear .

    Are the girls free-lancers or bar workers? I thought there was a shut-down time earlier than 5am? Some would say the law operates within the sex industry.

    You could say the same for Bangkok but at least there are the occasional reports of fines for meterless taximeters. I've lived in Pattaya twenty years and have NEVER seen a report of police upholding this law. At one stage there were public notices at various points on Suk stating the flat fare to other points of interest.

    Pattaya taxis are kept in business by the other local mafia who refuse to prosecute ANY taxi failing to use its meter.

    Education in Thailand rivals RTP for corruption, criminal involvement and all round uselessness.

    That's why he called it 'a plan'.

    This is to artificially pad out TAT's numbers. The truth is, they've all gone to Vietnam where there is none of this TDAC nonsense to contend with.

    Watching 'The Nest' - set in Glasgow; a surrogate 18 year old having a baby for a local tycoon; (sub-titles needed.)

    Hi-Tech from RTP; laughable.
  18. mikebell
    All pomp and circumstance for nothing. It's an excuse to prove RTP/Army do work (occasionally) and do exist.

    There are not enough parking spaces to accommodate the number of cars visiting the town hence the roaming policemen searching for a clamping fee.

    How can Thai police be undercover! They look Thai so they won't be approached by foreign 'ladies'.

    AI could have been programmed to adopt an ironic tone?

    Thank you. I live in Thailand full time and have done so for 20 years. How do I cope with your 'if they let you board the flight without the TDAC QR code,' comment? I'm just going on holiday to Spain and you're suggesting I might not be allowed on the plane back!
  24. mikebell
    So that's why they avoid being seen on the roads.

    The writer has a fine sense of irony.
