    I recall a baht bus crash some years ago when multiple children were killed when the driver and his wife had an altercation.

    Thank you for this. Because of my hearing disability HMRC have accepted my UK daughter as my proxy. DWP have ignored my frequent email requests. I've contacted an email for complaints twice in the last two months with no success! Like the Thai police they are answerable to no one.

    I switched off after the headline said 'say Pattaya Police.'
  4. mikebell
    Like Road works?

    'Safty First.' This official notice adorns numerous building sites.

    Linking Pattaya police with the word 'diligently' is a bit of a stretch. Surely confiscating a bike with illegal papers puts the onus on the companies renting out these bikes (which contribute massively to Pattaya's parking problem.) Making it difficult to reclaim the bike would further discourage this practice.

    The reporter was happy to oblige.

    Standard Operating (Thai) Police procedure: if there's no baht to be made, do nothing till the uproar is too loud to ignore.

    I watched 'Eric' (TV series) with Cumberbatch - good characters/dialogue + a brilliant performance from Sherlock.

    If they named the restaurant, weekend bookings would treble.

    Police impersonating police. They've clear footage of two of the officers so it should be very easy to identify IF they were cops or not.

    1st you need a police force.

    I wish I had a baht for every time I've read variations of this story over the years. How does a pump for discharging sewage into Pattaya Bay's pristine waters suddenly go into reverse?
  14. mikebell
    Sounds like an almost total fabrication. I'm sure there are dubious products at The Made In Thailand market. (Guess where they are made.) How many bald tourists would go to a secluded spot to buy hair restorer? Sounds like sour grapes from locals who are jealous of these suspicious vendors.
  15. mikebell
    So the early warning system failed?
  16. mikebell
    Unlike the average Thai who never accepts responsibility for any wrong-doing. I am not just thinking drivers here.
  17. mikebell
    waste of money. Since when has the average Thai driver paid ANY attention to road traffic signs/symbols or markings. It would be a different story if the town decided to form a police force.
  18. mikebell
    AKA INACTION.
  19. mikebell
    Start with the police owners & collectors of monthly 'protection' money.
  20. mikebell
    They will 'fine' a couple of cops for dereliction of duty and the next cycle will start anew.

    Tucked up in bed. After my bike was clamped, I had to go to the main station to have it released. I walked round the totally deserted building for a long time before anyone answered my cries for assistance; it was just after midnight.

    After my TGF slipped on the non-slip bathroom tiles, I bought some heavy duty mats for both of us.

    I did not have a camera then. I spent years and thousands of baht on lawyers' fees as the Thannachart Insurance agent was totally all at sea. I eventually paid off the 'victims' so I could get on with my life. The cop extracted 15K from my wife (I learned later) or he 'would make my next year's visa very difficult.' There are some readers on this site who have wondered why my comments seem anti-police from time to time.
  24. mikebell
    Plenty of real cops guilty of impersonating police officers.
  25. mikebell
    Why would an innocent victim be carrying 3.3 million in cash?
