pattaya is a victim of its own success and a lack of forward planning. the lack of septic treatment will limits its further growth. we are doomed to read this story over and over again in the future. for now it is nice to be able to go over to koh larn for a swim.

 I agree with most of what you say, but do raise an eyebrow with assertion/hope "the lack of septic treatment will limits its further growth".... sane, logical, responsible decisions hasn't stopped them before, so why should it in the future?

He's American, but calling someone "mate" is not. Perhaps call him "My Yank Wank" (I'm 'Merican, so okay). More fitting I suppose.

While they are "at it" how about tougher laws for military?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree....

just a block off the old chip

A bully with a government job

 Yeah, well Donald Trump won't....er, what? Oh this is local news.....

never mind

No problem for me, as I live in Jomtien, Jomthien or Chomtien.... or is it Chomthien. Whatever. I like the signs where perhaps use spell checker, so massage place might list "200 bath". Now that IS a soapy for sure.  At times I wonder if they misspell on purpose, so as to get your attention.

 When you go from one alphabet to another there always will be variations in how it comes out of the grinder. Think I'll go have an appun and watch old Arsenun match.

Trump was invited? Or just decided he needed to get out of Dodge?

Maybe French immigration won't let him in, as he has been identified as terrorist threat

May I suggest that all police stations, immigration offices and other government offices be paneled in rubber? Make it safer when we are bouncing off the walls.

Hmm which will come first: Thai elections or Trump go to UK?

Big enough story to make BBC news. I won't post link to avoid harming Thailand image & computer crime law

If Trump wants a beautiful new health care bill, Republicans will have to start over from scratch. Current bill is simply a tax cut for the rich, full stop.

" Bus routes would be introduced first to get the public used to the routes first before the tram became fully operational. "

that worked out so well last time they tried that..... BTW how those metered taxis working out?

Tour buses out is easiest solution, but no money to be made from that

Some might say they stay in spite of the women.....

If one were a pimp or bar owner, perhaps could call self "wh***monger"... most guys are consumers, not suppliers, if we use this definition of "monger": denoting a dealer or trader in a specified commodity.

I thought maybe autotune broke or something like that...

Did a little math, if correct works out to 1,770,000 baht per parking space..... could get a decent condo for that kind of money

Let's hope they don't adopt the "Philippine model"

did they also storm the police station when it was about the Red Bull scum?

 

I mean .... killing a policeman....

I don't recall son of red bull ever going to the police station.....

North Korea wants guarantees there won't be regime change. They don't want to attack USA, Japan or S Korea. It would be "game over" if they did so.

 This is similar to build up before US attacked Iraq. Saddam wasn't going to attack USA either.... that didn't work out so well, did it?

Maybe they can team up with coal miners

"The show must go on!"

"share the wealth"..... of experience?

Would have been such a laff riot if there'd been a road side food stand with customers under the boxes when they fell. The guy videoing is a moron

 I thought the rule in Thailand was that any foreigner dying here has to have an autopsy (hopefully by a competent examiner), and one would think that would apply double to death under mysterious circumstances. Was Belgian embassy informed as soon as she was found? Did they just say "Do whatever you want & get rid of the body?" I doubt it.

 And who decided to cremate her? No consideration that she may be a Muslim or a Catholic, where cremation is not acceptable. Rush to cremation of body stinks of coverup.

When I visited Japan in 83 there was somewhat similar program for students of English to practice skills acting as guides in Nara. They were English majors, one was fond of J D Salinger novels, as I recall. The guides weren't there just to help with police, and service was free (I did buy the two young ladies lunch, however).

I feel so much better. I now understand those police driving on sidewalks were in pursuit of ghost cycles trying to evade capture
