This is looking bad....better stock up on bottle water and be prepared to bath in the local dirty klong Rice farmers will continue to pant rice until the river runs dry. Nothing will change their minds.

how to educate an-alphabets ??

Can't understand why 2 or 3 places can't apply for late licences then everyone will know who they are and people wanting a quite nights sleep can book a room away from them.

Exactly. I thought that Sai Gaew Beach had already been designated as a 'nightlife' area, and thus we normally stay on Au Wong Duan, or other nearby coves. Within a walk or short taxi drive away.

The concept of "zoning" seems so hard for these people to comprehend? Or is this just a show of strength from other business operators with military connections?

Zoning is koncept which would be ok,

But in thailand the zones are made by Big Brown envelopes !!

in 10 years i have been only 1 day in CM,

for what to go there ??

Out in the boonies... well, which dogs do you think get eaten first? A load of stupid softies around here, the onlt aggressive dogs have been brough in from outside.

the Burmese brought them to LOS !!

not only in village,

i have this in streets in neighbouhood in " Central bangkok "

My wife warns me even in daylight to enter some of this sois !

Forest people they say !

I call it Jungle education !

Why you stay in such a city ??

Do you have any worse city in Th than pattaya ??

its your fault !!

leave - run - as long as you still able to run !!

Remember the next time you get a road rage fever over something that the guy you flip off could easily have a gun in his car and be having a bad day and doesn't particulary care for farangs anyway......Often read stories of farangs like I'll show him, or I'll whip his butt etc etc....not if you're dead you sure will not.

Generally NOT a good idea to get into confrontations.

correct !!

My wife always tell me, cool down, leave this Idiots to go !!

It seems this hint of my nice wife is " Live saving "

Should we still call it Land of Smiles?

not LOS

but LOOS - like loosers -

but can stay also for land out of smiles ;

By the way, in some US states you allowed to save your parking rights with your gun ,

so when it is allowed in US , why than not prktice it here too ??

RIP - 3 lifes for a parking lot

The hospital declared them to death before they arrived the hospital !!!!!!!!!!!

A very clear diagnose in distance;

Would be nice to know which hospital is this,

or is it the OP ??

Taiwan is not China !

Fingers oof !! China !!

It's a little over 300 dollars. Hardly worth the effort or risk to anyone who can afford a vacation.

For a Chinese " tourists " $300 is a lot of money, and beside, a scam is a scam,

some people enjoy running a scam just for the hell of it....

Those Chinese who can afford a vacation here are very rich and $300 will mean very little or nothing to them. Do you think Chinese who go abroad on vacations are that mean? I have lived with them for 6 years and I think you have missed the point entirely.

55555555555555555

therfore you see them all boohed in 5***** star hotels only,

and a la cart sea food restaurants and bars are stuffed with this " Reach " Chinese tourists !!

55555555555555555

You realy know China !

where did you live there ??

Of course the vendor is going to say he didn't scam them , why admit his guilt? For the amount of money 12,000b divided by two 600B each not hardly worth it and I doubt the insurance would pay anyway. Looks like another saving face exercise to assure the punters everything is fine in LOS

"12,000 divided by two is 600". Please check your calculator. Yes, we know, you used a cheap calculator that the Thais "scammed" you into buying.

they would get propably more back from the insurance, as what they paid for their arrangement !

In this case, I beleave in RTPs statement !!

It's a little over 300 dollars. Hardly worth the effort or risk to anyone who can afford a vacation.

not for Chinese !

they will do it even for smaller, if you give them the chance !!

so the RTP - policeman decided already:

No Thai involved !

They will court Mr Vitamin B !

went 2 times to pick up and VIP fast channel,

documents check are the same, just only few people there, as of the ! high ! fee !

so mostly no que, no waiting time, thats why its fast !

"I'm asking because I have a friend that is overly paranoid, he sells stuff on ecommerce sites from West to West, nothing to do about Thailand. He also has a business in the USA that he controls from over here, again, nothing to do with Thailand."

Actually, it has everything to do with Thailand, because that is where your "friend" is when he works.

So, as he is, (according to the letter of the law), working illegally, I would think that the RTP do have the powers to seize his laptop and any other evidence.

he work in Thailand without ! work permit "

that is illigal !!

Police can act !!

A mayor is the owner of the bar -

thats everywhere in Thailand - high officers and politicans ownening such premises,

renting out such dirty locations to mafia and dirt,

so they " wash " their hands in ! Clean ! if something happens;

that money would have used very quick in Thailand;

Many GVT officers would be keen to do this job !!!

Just might bee that a granting permit " provision for the officer " would be higher than the funds

planned in Nepal :-((((

hey dont say anything about Khan Air ,

have they got 8 stars ??

the good guys are the ones with the BIG Brown envelopes,

( best carried by the Visa guys )

The Bad ones are which dont fill up the envelopes !!

Khap !!

Oil is a very small part of the cost of a tire. It's the refining, manufacturing, added goodies including belts and carbon black, shipping, wholesale and retail profit, warehousing and all which doesn't change with the price of oil. There's a lot of co-polymerizing involved in making the synthetic rubber. Again, the oil is a small part of the cost of a tire by the time it gets onto your car.

Cheers.

if oil price goes down,

gasoline keeos the price, when back up,

gasoline goes up too;

Maximising for revenue dep and businesses,

customer always the looser;;

people living along the Khlong, say , it never will happen;

and i live closed there !!

I am surprised that she actually showed up in person. I am guessing her attendence was manditory and no excuses would be taken.

her attendance were just in Dubay for instruction
