  1. Then they should be in fours. Perhaps 4 feet is a bit excessive, but certainly larger than 1 foot, given the amount of water that falls in a tropical storm. Obviously they can't do the job, given the floods. However, did Beach Rd flood or was it just Buakhao?
  2. How could you check the pipes where they are under the road? You can't see into them from the road side drains. A "few" doesn't count for all. I have always taken an interest in infrastructure, and the infrastructure in Pattaya is a disgrace to civil engineering, IMO. If the drains were not blocked, then the problem is elsewhere, but a problem they apparently can't solve for 30 years.
  3. The laugh was for the size of the pump outlets. They should be at least 4 times as large, IMO. The VDO is of Buakhao, and that has always been a problem for floods. I guess nothing much changes away from Beach Rd.
  4. Doesn't matter how big the pipes are if the road drain holes are blocked. They never seem to get that bit right, and I doubt they ever clean out the big pipes under the road- hence they fill up with sand and rubbish. Anyway, the best way to deal with the problem is to take the water directly from the bottom of the sois out to sea. No messing around diverting it along the road.
  5. Why do people not use anonymous forums to complain? I'd never complain on line if I thought they could identify me.
  6. The beauty of cheap Thai hotels is that they are all concrete, and no carpet in hallways etc, so a fire would be confined to one room. I usually stayed in cheap hotels. Guest houses are sometimes flammable, but usually only 2 or 3 floors, so hopefully won't die if go out the window down a sheet.
  7. Perhaps it's time to remind posters of the forum rules Our Forum Rules and Standards of Conduct can be summarized as Be Nice, Be Respectful. We encourage all members to be nice to each other, to help each other and to enjoy the forum and its content.
  8. Wrong thread. This one is about Biden's speech.
  9. LOL. Plenty of posters on this forum already convicted him. Tell them that.
  10. I doubt he liked Obama. Are we not getting a bit OTT on the language? Jai yen, jai yen.
  11. I agree, and if they can prove he colluded with the Russians, the North Koreans, the Chinese and anyone else not American against the USA, execute him. Oh, they already tried that, but nada.
  12. No. They only need one piece of evidence to convict him. Are you claiming they would give him a longer sentence based on the number of documents? Any conviction would render him unable to stand for office in 2024. The longer the delay, the more suspicion will arise that it's a political witch hunt, timed for the elections. Personally, I think they have been alarmed at the reaction and don't know how to proceed without enraging a significant portion of the voting population. Be ironic if this, IMO, farce gets him elected again.
  13. So, arrest him now, and the others later. Just do it!
  14. Many Republicans in government organizations disliked Trump. I thought that was common knowledge.
  15. I'm waiting for the court case where the government has to prove they were a threat to the security of the USA. If they were not, it's caused a lot of trouble for nothing much. If the FBI were to raid Clinton's house, perhaps they might find some of those missing e mails, LOL.
  16. No, it hasn't. I haven't noticed any difference. To say more would be off topic.
  17. Only needs to be guilty on one document to be arrested, and didn't posters on this forum claim that they knew exactly what they were looking for?
  18. I live near the sea. The rise since I was a boy is so insignificant as to be meaningless. I hope you ain't claiming the sea level has risen higher in different parts of the world.
  19. You need to provide proof they were all unarmed. I can't find anything to say they were so, and the photo on this site shows an armed officer. https://www.npr.org/2022/08/09/1116575413/mar-a-lago-fbi-raid-trump-search While he may not have gone into the building he is apparently part of the team that raided the place.
  20. How many mid-market bars/sports bar/Irish pubs/steakhouse/Japanese/world cuisine etc. does Pattaya need? It's already got all those. However, there is only one Walking Street. I'm constantly amazed by farangs that want to destroy the reason folk like me loved Thailand and replace it with some horrid version of the <deleted><deleted> they come from.
  21. It's Pattaya's Neverending Story.
  22. None of which denies that God exists. The God I believe in made all that happen.
  23. My theory for what it is worth, is that this universe is just the latest in a series of Big Bangs. Everything in the universe eventually falls into a black hole and is ejected in a Big Bang to form a new universe. So how did the first big bang occur- God is the answer.
  24. Which is caused by pumping too much water from underground. That is nothing to do with pollution.
