  1. Ahh. Here come the fix to keep them and their friends in power
  2. That is not my experience having lived here for more than 20 years. I have been in need of the police support on a number of occasions and found them to be helpful and sympathetic. Stolen kayak - recovered. A farang on a motorbike was attacked and punched by a drugged up local rich guy - sorted. Local Thai crashed his scooter and his friend accused me of causing the accident - police said no. Security guard beaten up by a local 'Mr big' - resolved. Two lost kids - found and so on. I have never been asked for money or a bribe.
  3. They are banned already. There is a legal limit to the %age of tinting. I think that law still stands. The RTP argue they they do not have the ability to accurately check that %age - ergo, tint away!
  4. I guess that you have never tried walking in a straight line through a jungle?
  5. Parked taxis have always been a problem. They spend ages waiting for that 'big hit'.
  6. I see that the 'watchman' is wearing ear buds. Is that so that Uncle Tuu can tell him what to say in meetings?
  7. I think that you will find that prices have really gone up over the last two years. Especially gasoline.
  8. No it is not. Medicinal cannabis is legal. Smoking it is not. The confusion is the problem as explained in the article. There are lots of restrictions but people are not aware of them.
  9. Always good reporting from the Thai Enquirer. They are usually prepared to report the truth rather than the 'political' line. (Unlike many Thai papers.) Thank you
  10. All in hand. Next project will be the monorail. (It has as much chance of happening as the bridge!)
  11. Try telling that to the food delivery drivers, couriers and postmen. They all sound their horns when delivering to places around here. It saves them from having to dismount.
  12. Take USD. Accepted everywhere when I go. Usually receive change in dong.
  13. Every other click!
  14. Thank you for that lom. I went there today. Very good service. I needed to upgrade my reading glasses and the pair that I use when working at the computer screens. New reading glass lenses - 1,800 baht. Fitted to the existing frames. New work frames and lenses - 4,300 baht Consultancy 1,000 baht. They will all be ready tomorrow. The bad news - cataracts. Not too bad for now. He suggested waiting before considering the operation.
  15. In a different article, I read that the dog smells the chemicals that coat things like flash drives etc. That is where the photos of the victims tend to be stored. It is not a drug sniffing dog. I cannot remember where I read that article now.
  16. Thailand is in anyone's pocket when it suits them and if there is money to be made by those in power.
  17. Seems that submarines and F35's are not going to be much help against Thailand's biggest and most aggressive enemy. ????
  18. No it is not. Everything will be 'blurred' is the basis, in order for Prayut to get back in. The result is a forgone conclusion. ????
  19. No decline of quality tourists on Samui - plenty of Indians checking into the villas up here. ????
  20. Totally agree that Thailand desperately needs PIF's. I still remember them from the '50s and '60s. Do not dazzle (headlights on full beam) Parking (never on the brow of a hill or a corner/bend) Careful overtaking (again never on the brow of a hill or a corner/bend) And so on infinitum. Well said.
