    Your post is stupid beyond belief. Its not the shops fault its the payment system thats the problem. They developed software and forgot to add a way for a foreigner to pay, simple as that. If I was behind you in a queue and you did that I would make you put everything back yourself. What a pompous attitude to take.

    Agreed.. , but I do not believe they "forgot" a way to pay..hehe.. There is a reason which is yet to understand....It might blow over like everything... It will create too much problems in the long run.

  2. Fantastic.. I wonder if we can still buy a coca cola, food, car, motorbike.., repairs, gasoline, snickers.. What is the difference really and where do they draw the line? Anyone knows.. It cant stop at utility bills.. What about hospital bills then or Insurance bills?

    If you do put signs up in English you must put the name also in Thai to avoid the higher rate of Tax, it can go in the bottom corner

    Very correct.. This is the law.. You probably did not pay for your signs.. In phuket it used to be (for a medium sized sign) 1500 baht or maybe a little more a year.

    So, by accurately turning in violators, a person could earn thousands every day.  Right?  So many questions.

     

    Is not wearing a helmet an offense?  How much?

     

    Can you set up a camera + recording system at an intersection to catch hundreds of violators?

     

    Will the person who turns in a violator receive 24 hour police protection?  It will certainly be needed.

     

    Would a falang need a work permit to do this?

     

    Would it be safer to have the actual police do this, thus saving money and not creating violent reprisals?

     

     

     

    All of these points where my exact same thoughts...Welcome the police of state. or is it the state of the police that speaks volumes.. No in fact we neeed "the eye of the pineapple" idea to strike again.. Start spying on your neighbours!! You can even earn money on it... NOT!

    Yeah, i call it a wooden deck but had some plastic wood from the HomePro in mind that we saw a week ago. Regarding the metal i will keep it in mind as the ground is a bit lower there meaning rain water collects which might increase rust and other problems with any metal. Regarding the sun we are pretty safe there, that area has shadow from about 4pm onwards.

     

    Thanks a lot.

    They use some kind of smartboard. A builder would not propose a wooden deck if you dont demand one.. There are various versions of it. Some have a warrantee of 10 years. I have one sala area with just that and the only thing that eventually demands some maintenance are the screws holding it down. Use stainless steel grade A or zink og galvanized screws which in phuket you only get in boat shops. (as far as I know). The deck looks like wood and feels like wood, but its basicly hard plastic with some epoxy in it.

  6. Its super easy.. Dont have to be poor when you are collecting bottles or other recycle materials. In scandinavia one 1.5 l. bottle gives you 10 baht in recycling money ... Add that together with lets say 500 bottles a day in a 5 day week.. Thats 10000 baht a month for cleaning and recycling.. Its a win win for all.. That 10 baht is added to the item when you buy it of course.. Its up to the buyer to recycle it and get the money back or not.
