Another success for Pattaya Plod.

Before he is sacked?

Give every Thai cop 1000 baht to arrest the land owner on whose land the 'wild fires' occur. Problem solved at a cost of ONE million.

'AirAsia launches Takeover Thailand campaign with celeb partner' = The Thai Army.

The admirals are very happy; they've had/spent their inducements. Billions have been spent already (see Srikcir above). Scrapping the whole idea now is not feasible even for a Thai flip-flop government.

Judging by the long tailbacks on Pattaya Tai yesterday, Pattaya is full to overflowing.

Oh the irony!

Does this mean they need farang sperm donors, only I'm free most weekends?

When police seize these assets, what happens to them after the bad boys are jailed?

Doesn't leave many safe spaces for shelter.

RTP get another day off from not working on all the other days?

When RTP do the illegal re-enactment; another photocop opportunity.

If I watch horror I get bad dreams! 'Beyond Paradise' (old but S2 coming up) is gentle comedy with some characters that we can care about. Saw 1st 2 'Shogun' episodes last night; absolutely sumptuous and the bonus for the hard of hearing (me) is 70% of the dialogue is in Japanese with clear subtitles.

The last word is laughable. None of the three parties above move at more than a snail's pace. There will be committees formed; meetings held; action plans drawn up; all to no avail. Thais like their bass rhythm; their pick-ups are mere boom-boxes; speaker vans are the most ludicrous selling mechanism ever invented creating slow-moving jams alienating potential customers and polluting the area. If the customers are there till turned 2am every night then they can't have a job which has normal working hours.

Were the officials false or his claim to have paid?

3 minutes from my home. Thankfully I am confident Pattaya police will get to the bottom of it.

Nearly 10 a day? + how many on the roads? No wonder the Thai population is shrinking.

It reads like a TAT report where statistics are used to prove the opposite of what is really happening.

Does this mean all the meters in Pattaya taxis will start to work? Will Pattaya police force take to the roads?

Ask Pita if he agrees with this verdict.

Another airline added to my No-fly list; along with Finnair.

He has the common Thai lazy gene; by doing nothing he can never be wrong but still gets paid.

How can it be National? The rules vary from office to office.

It is unfortunately the one nearest my family. On my last year's visit I was harangued in broken English by one of the workers for putting my case on a belt five seconds before he was going to give me permission. I was 81 and roundly cursed.

A police campaign maybe lasts an hour & is then forgotten.
