New Finance Minister expected in April as economic malaise deepens
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Dear Mr PM/Finance Minister Please stop giving tax payers money away on dodgy projects. Help people to work for a living. (Clue - more workers pay more taxes.) -
Strange comments. If you live in Bangkok (or any other city) as your moniker suggests, then keeping shoes on in shops is normal. Bangkok is not Thailand. I was talking about Thailand where I have found shoe removal is the norm. Even in our local immigration office until recently. This incident happened on a small rural island. Not in a city. 'Open season on white skin people'? That is only a complaint from foreigners regarding the bad press that some white skinned people are creating. Let's see. Swiss kicking a doctor Kiwis beating up a policeman Russian kicking a pregnant lady etc etc I suggest that it is open season on entitled idiots who happen to have white skin.

Monkey food theft leads to motorcycle mishap in Lop Buri

Good idea. Dig a pit. Put food in the bottom. When the monkeys come to eat it - pour in concrete. -
Man wanted for fatal drive-by shooting surrenders in Phuket
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Because we are all reading in English language papers. Thai language papers will have more on Thai naughty folk. Bad news sells. Good news doesn't. -
Removing footwear is the norm in Thailand. Far from stupid - I think that it is a great idea. Beats walking dirt, dog poo, whatever all over the place. Maybe the lady lives in a shophouse? We do not know. It could also be her home. The victim is the owner of the shop. Forget your western approach of 'it's the law'. No work - no dosh.

Thai police seize 10 million meth pills worth 300 million baht
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I wonder how unhappy Yospol is when he reads that his mate received 300,000 baht for the job, whilst Yospol only receive 10,000 baht. -

Termite Control Recommendations.
Tropicalevo replied to beatlebones's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
The area where I live is infested with termites. Even though we sprayed the land before we built, they continually reappear. Over the 20 or so years that we have lived here, we have tried many different local companies. After year two/three, they disappeared with our annual fee. The current one that we use (Ecopest) have been brilliant. We have been using them for about 12 years. Not the cheapest but by far the most professional. They come every month and spray (a must for termites) and even come on request if there is a new problem. -
Chiang Mai Immigration Requiring Your Monthly Income?
Tropicalevo replied to jeffandgop's topic in Chiang Mai
But a photo of you there is nor proof that you live there. You could be just walking by. I suspect that these are not new rules, just tightening up of old, out of date ones. -

I cannot see why the head of this group is even involved. What victims? Maybe just another gofer being paid to twist the knife in BJ's back? -

Dissident Russian band returns to stage after Thai detention
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They were arrested in Thailand because they had the wrong visas. Thailand was going to deport them to Russia.
