And what about the other pawnshops? How much did they lend out? 433 pawnshops registered in Thailand. https://rentechdigital.com/smartscraper/business-report-details/list-of-pawn-shops-in-thailand

Dumb, dumber and dumbest. Dumb - the Thai politicians who came up with this idea. Dumber - those trying to invent the rules. Dumbest - the Thai developers who will try and write the software to implement it all.

It worked for the old girl - twice.

Silly man. Everyone knows that tom yum gai is much tastier than chicken rice.

That is the answer, ask for the tickets and payment receipts. They are getting greedy. It used to be 50 baht for no helmet and pulling over everyone in sight, the last week of each month. I believe that it is 1,000 baht these days, and that is with an official receipt. It increased last year (?)

Then Singapore would brag and point out that Thailand had krappy border controls.

And the lies trip effortlessly off the government's tongues.

They are supposed to be able to swim OK but some beginners cannot. When the instructors finds out, here on Samui, they send them to a friend of mine who teaches swimming.

Poor lass. Highlighting probable corruption in the department and it appears that the seniors were the ones involved.

I would imagine that most 'cash sales' go into the grey economy and are not on people's books. As far as I know, the grey economy is not included in the GDP. Happy to be proved wrong.

Yes, and the Thai version is even worse than the original.

Bangkok Post gave an update today on the accidents that resulted in fatalities. From the Bangkok Post

Thailand's stance on human rights is indefensible. It's record is well documented world wide. How Thailand was ever allowed to sit on the UNHRC is just beyond belief.

It's a sad day when I read the above headline and say "Again!" I hope that I never have to travel on that overpass. Or even underneath it.

Nine people caught smuggling drugs over the Full Moon Party period. Maybe organised from KPN. Lots of cannabis plantations can be seen when riding around the island.

100,000's of females might disagree with you. However, a girl who is smashed of her trolley may be at risk. Again,100,000's have survived that with no trouble.

A bit of a sad comment to belittle someone's valuable and possibly life saving contribution to the community where she lives. Well done Khun Sawai.

Why was the 16 year old Lek not arrested and kicked out of school?

So numerous complaints and the BIB's finally do something.

Thailand should never have been allowed onto the council. Their record on section 112 is another reason.

Well spotted. Now we know why most Thai criminals are repeat offenders.

Thailand went through those crossroads a while back. They are firmly in bed with China with no intention of moving away. They are taking the move slowly so that people get used to it and do not complain. Europe would have been a better bet than both the USA and China but China had the clout. Expect to see a lot more Chinese influence here.

Sorry guys and gals. 2 kg less cannabis in the bags please.

Sadly, he won't last long. eg Pita.
