    After one lesson when I was forced to use this, I was christened Deci Bell by some clever students; much preferred this to Belly.

    Particularly not the police who only appear for a camera shoot.

    Just when I thought it was safe to go in the garden!

    1st you need a police force.

    This only works sporadically, dependent on high the public opinion clamour is.

    How much of this gigantic budget will be spent on forcing RTP on to the roads in an attempt to cut the daily road kill?

    Thai Justice - the best money can buy.

    Well not on here. I think it's appalling you are not allowed an opinion without being sued by ANY Thai company for expressing it (if it's negative). Remember TripAdvisor issuing a caveat after the Koh Chang debacle? How would everyone expressing an opinion on AseanNow feel if their contribution was met by a legal summons? Thailand - the land of suers/sewers.

    How can the authorities be sure they are foreign?

    And at 6.16 am! There can't be much traffic and certainly no cops.

    to fund their new cars.

    Seven New Laws; One Old Police Force = No Progress.

    The price you pay for a joint Sino/Thai rail project.

    I am 81; I don't see the age gap as significant.

    So Pattaya Plod had no idea until they were told to go to a given address.

    Wearing a white T-shirt does not make you high-visibility. A few in police uniforms during the DAY might deter the criminal element. Pie-in-the-sky, I know, as Pattaya only has six uniforms.

    The Russian Mafia is now involved in the massage scene?

    I want to marry her.

    In 20 years I have met a number of honest Thais; that number is four.

    I did the same nearly 20 years ago. Now I am back being an older member of Gen Rent as a farang here cannot own his own house/land & a Thai court stripped me of 75% + costing me a similar amount in legal fees.

    I've been here nearly 20 years and seen no signs of 'move forward' except when the authorities try to besmirch the political party of the same name. Every year I get 'Dé·jà vu' as the annual cycle continues: flood/drought; corrupt politicians/police; and in possible times of progress a coup d'état by the army to deny democracy.

    Quid pro quo.

    In cases like this, it is often hard to tell whether it really happened or is just another attempt to discredit MFP.
  24. mikebell
    It is striking; 1st because it happened; 2ndly because it is proactive.

    Hence my use of this example of Thai ineptitude.
