  1. they are not allowed in the west because of the risk of back flow into the water system - in most countries water is safe to drink from the tap - not so in Thailand I am not sure what the real risk is in terms of backflow - I am sure it is very small to zero - a non return valve would solve the issue anyway
  2. covid is over Anutin - and so are you................. 1.5% popularity lol - how impressive - I hope you can take a hint and ##### ### Is this recent covid focus an attempt to cancel/delay the elections - it is only going on in Thailand - wouldn't surprise me
  3. there is a solution - another constitution change (which I support) and put it to the people in a referendum - wipe out the senate and restore democracy - as it is right now these #### rs still hold the power no matter the result of an election - that is just not how it works
  4. I think you are right but I don't think the Thai people are as divided as they were before - IMO they will not tolerate another coup I also hope that those that take over will fully investsigate the current mob for serious corruption and lock them all up had to laugh at Anutin who actually thought he was popular with the people, just shows how out of touch and delusional this fool is, Anutin bye bye - what was the last poll ................. 1.5% support lol
  5. why would there be outside interfence - what was the point of this announcement ? they were murdered - do your job and find out who did it motive - money or an ex boyfriend is a good place to start
  6. should we have a poll of how many people wish it had continued for another 7 days or how many people and businesses are glad to see the back of it and get back to normal Yes Thais are fully entitled to celebrate their new year every year - but not this nonsense going on for 7 days 3rd poll question - is 7 days far too long and should it be restrcted to 2 days
  7. what ? the current online system is working fine, the actual need is questionable has anyone heard about a fee of B100 being introduced for 90 day reports, I suspect the person telling me this is rather confused
  8. meeting the finacial requirements ............................ was that a joke an agent and a backhander renders such requirement redundant
  9. a good start would be forcing those that have been in charge these last 13 years to disclose their earnings while in office and where the money came from, all police and army high ranks can do the same being able to hide it does not inspire confidence does it ? - one of the first things Prayut did when he took office - remove the need for finacial disclosure - that is a red flag right there
  10. I had to net off my balcony, they were nesting there and had made a massive mess, they are persistant I will grant them that and once they have established a home are very difficult to convince otherwise, they still find gaps in the net but are slowly learning this is not a safe place for them to be, slowly they are getting the hint
  11. from today 20th will be like nothing ever happened
  12. remove this nutjob from society asap, how is he out on bail after attempted murder, this girl is now in danger from this lunatic
  13. They literally expect you to pay whatever they ask and when you ask for the price you are insulting them and taking the conversation down a direction they don't want to go (face saving terratory) especially if they are intending to rip you off, of course this doesn't happen in supermarkets 7/11 etc were prices are clearly displayed but think of the many places foreigners go in Thailand were prices are not displayed - mom&pop stores being one of them - bars/entertainment venues are other good examples - a falang asking a price of something is treated as an insult not a right especially if by design (not in all cases) their intention is to rip you off
  14. been that way for a long time, as long as you empty your wallet often they will tolerate you - they expect foreigners to spend and even pay extra for things, best policy is I have found is make sure you are clear about the price of something before making a purchace especilly in establishments that don't have it displayed - they will make it up on the fly
  15. simple to audit unusual wealth gained since 2013, but of course those in charge exempted themselves from such things - better bring a team equipted with spades if you want to find unusual enrichment - most Thai people won't understand the 8 figure numbers
  16. so what, leave her alone to enloy her holiday
  17. nonsense - maybe he had the flu or some othere health issue even if he had covid - so what, the world has had enough of covid - move on are you reporting health issues due to air quality - nope, a far bigger risk than covid
  18. two words - one beginning with B and 2nd beginning S is this again people trying to be noticed who knows
  19. for gods sake give it a ## rest priority threat to health - roads - drunks driving - air quality ................covid........ move on, it is OVER
  20. "stabbed himself". ...............yeah right
  21. or stay at home, I don't mind songkran for 1/2 days but this 7 day thing is hurting trade every year, people either leave pattaya or don't go out or go out very late (like me) to avoid it, they are shooting themselves in the foot, every venue I went too late on was literally empty, how many years will it take before they realise that 7 days of this madess is hurting business - it is obvious to most people why aren't they getting it
  22. 160b for a 2km fare - is he having a laugh, max 100b 30b minimum fare for 1km - 10b for 1 extra km and 5b for each km thereafter is the official fare
  23. I know more people that leave than stay, I also know people that stay at home instead of going out - one day of this ## is ok but in Pattaya it goes on for 7 days - it really is not a nice place to be my observation is that business takes quite a hit during this time, the exact opposite of what the OP is claiming
