  1. We've had THREE this WEEK! Why doesn't Pattaya's Authorities form a committee and agree an edict forcing all balcony railings to be raised to five foot. The Committee could be called Health & Safety for Tourists.
  2. How old was the child? Why were they helping at nearly midnight?
  3. 'Authorities launched an investigation and later arrested Mr. Phatcharin. A breathalyzer test discovered that Mr. Phatcharin’s blood alcohol level was reportedly over 195 mg/dL, exceeding the legal limit of 20 mg/dL by a significant margin. Nongprue police seized a gun from the driver as evidence and are pursuing legal charges for driving under the influence of alcohol against him.' 'authorities are currently attempting to verify the driver’s claims that he is a police officer but as of press time has not released a statement around this.' So rapid action on arrest; significant slow down on whether he was a cop or not.
  4. This junket was her doing a spot of widow-shopping. What a frivolous waste of officials' time. Just look at the number of hangers-on & fawning sycophants in the picture: surprised no photocops got in on the act.
  5. A worthy goal but everyone knows the best way to achieve this but no one will grasp the nettle. All dogs are unhygienic & spread diseases through dog dirt/urine in every soi. Even those with careful mask-wearing owners are allowed to roam free to bring down motorbikes & cause cars to swerve violently into pedestrians. Rabies costs lives and money for vaccines. '47 dogs underwent spay/neuter surgery and received life-saving vaccinations against diseases including rabies, distemper and parvovirus.' A mere scratch in the numbers.
  6. Daily? Lots of unlicensed, unhelmeted, uninsured Thais at large.
  7. Why does one need cigarettes, fresh Thai air is just as carcinogenic?
  8. I am a retired teacher of 39 years experience. Just before I turned 60 I tried to retire & draw my pension. I was told I would lose 5% per year on every year before my 60th birthday. I clung on for another 2 years.
  9. It is to counter the smear campaign mounted by the election-thieves to rid themselves of opposition.
  10. It couldn't have been so massive if Pattaya police were involved, there's only two of them and they 'work' alternate days! The number may have been swelled by the photocops AKA male models who turn up when there is a camera on show.
  11. I knew it couldn't be a Thai driver as they would have hidden under their mother's bed.
  12. Imagine what rank she could achieve if her uniform fitted as snugly as those of her male colleagues!
  13. There's a long queue of Indian customers outside the shop.
  14. I live in The Bermuda Triangle AKA Pattaya where no taxi meters work. The invisible police are as bemused as all tourists/locals as there has not been a single arrest in 19 years!
  15. I did bad with Sweden who drink from breakfast all day/night long and I don't even own the property.
  16. My first 2 questions were rhetorical. If Pattaya's invisible police don't notice diesel pickups polluting the roads directly in front of them, they're hardly going to do anything about the regular bonfires.
  17. Do the police know there is a discernable pattern of such activities? Do the CCTV cameras capture any of the motorbikes number plates?
  18. The Thai Education minister would not know the difference between North & South Korea.
  19. Thai drainage engineers manufacture perfect mosquito breeding chambers every 10 metres that leave six inches of stagnant water before the next overflow pipe.
  20. https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:24hrs;@0.0,0.0,3.0z Check out the local hot-spots.
  21. Thank you. My area seems remarkably fire free despite clouds of smoke drifting in from wats regularly burning rubbish.
  22. Probably a similar figure to the number of babies abandoned by Thai men at the 1st sign of Morning sickness.
  23. Does the police have access to this app? Is there a website I could guide them to? How would I check the area around me in Nong Prue?
  24. ALL envelopes MUST arrive by the usual deadline!
