  1. Nice move, as I see these a**holes every day in Krabi. Will it help??? No, not one bit! They WILL get their new exhausts anyway....

    It is just another show to let the 'people' know where the Thai priorities lay. I wish from the bottom of my heart that loud exhausts pipes were the biggest problem in Thailand... Can we PLEASE get on with solving some REAL problems in Thailand?!?!?

  2. You can see my avatar, I like dogs!

    BUT any dog that is walking around, outside in the public area with or without collar, has to know how to behave himself. That is the owner's responsibility. If the owner does NOT take the responsibility (he might be Thai whistling.gif ), and his dog misbehaves, these things can and will happen.

    Som nam na!!

    Come to the south (where the Thai moslims live) and you will find out that many moslims accelerate their cars when they see a dog on the street.... I know of several dogs that are purposely poisoned (and they were not on the street, but within their compounds!)

    IF a free walking dog would attack me (or my dog), there is a BIG chance that the dog in question would 'disappear'. Up to your own interpretation what that means whistling.gif . Thanks for your attention wai.gif

  3. β€œTo the best of my knowledge every single bar in Patong has to pay at least 500 baht to some government official each month,” he said.

    Get real - 500 baht .... never, much much more and the 'some government official' would be the neighbourhood policeman.

    Exactly LinK, and I was thinking the 100k was on the low side as well.

    The 100K might be right, but that would be per day, definitely not per month (big discos and gogo's)

    Bars pay 10000 THB per ST room per monthwhistling.gif

  4. I will take 2 cards, but I will pay at the end of the 20 years; just conform Thai standards whistling.gifgiggle.gif

    Only VERY stupid people (or tourists tongue.png ) will get a card; normal people do not have 2M THB for another card with no obvious advantages for the holder. BTW, it does not say anywhere in this post what you are supposed to get for 2M THB plus 20 years of 20000 THB (total cost 2.4M THB)

    The only one laughing is the body that issues the cards (government? TAT? 'official' mafia?)

    Good Luck with your cardcheesy.gif

  5. Last Tuesday I did my first border run from Phuket to Ranong. I used <removed>, and was NOT happy at all!!! They promised a VIP mini-van with 9 luxury seats, but it was a normal 14 seat van, completely full. They did NOT comply to their schedule, lots of confusion with driver and company. Breakfast and lunch was nothing special, just the usual road stops. According to schedule we would be back at 1730, but it was 2030.... I understand Thailand very well, but 3 hours difference is just too much... On the way back, driver went way too fast and took too many risks, 3 near misses. As usual (in Thailand), they do not realize they are responsible for 14 lives!!!

    No experience with other companies yet, but I will never use KBV again....

    Prices: start from 1500 THB for the simplest trip to 1900 THB (go to casino). Of course this is Phuket, and prices are twice what they are in 'normal' Thailand. From Krabi to Satun (border run) is 800 THB and Phuket to Ranong is 1500 THB. Distance (and time) about the same, but double price, but half quality.
