I've seen several fights between Thais and farangs over here; it usually starts one on one with some kind of misunderstanding then progresses to someone becoming physical, then onto several Thais jumping in to help their colleague, and if you're close to a motorbike stand.....watch out(!) because guaranteed they'll get in on the action! Pack mentality at its finest!
Take a look at Sihanoukville Cambodia to see how things turn out; pretty much ruined because of the casinos. Locals have not gained anything from the casinos because of the Chinese zero dollar tourists that go there. Pretty sure the investors--Chinese(?), will be the only ones that gain anything from building casinos.
Because like a LOT of the laws here, the police don't enforce it. Simple really!
Some times I don't stop because I'll get rear ended by somebody wanting to run through it. I ALWAYS check my rear view mirror when/if I stop at these.
I remember years ago when they forced the rental bike companies on Beach Rd and Soi Pattayaland 1 and 2 to move off the street. They did.........onto the footpath of Beach Rd. 55555 TIT!
Instead of a "swift transfer" how about a swift firing.
It reminds me of the BIB, in a lot of cases after being found guilty of a crime the punishment is usually a transfer to an inactive post. TIT
I'm not advocating smoking or vaping, but seems to me that vaping is the worse of the two evils. I never smoked but both my parents did for many many years and they never had any lung problems.
One of the reasons I keep ALL my bank accounts open that I have in Thailand, even if there's an insignificant amount in them. I was going to close one or two of them since I hadn't used them in years but the manager at the branch told me better to keep them going as it's going to be harder in the future for farangs to open accounts.....she was right.
Exactly, the movie Idiocracy explains this phenomenon, the human race dumbing down because instead of the smartest reproducing the most, the dumbest are reproducing at an exponential rate. It was a grade B comedy but has turned into a documentary.
