Opinion Editorial: What’s in Store for Pattaya in 2024

And more sleaze ! -
Tip of the Iceberg; real figure would be 3 to 4 times greater than that. Shows up the pointlessness of restricted Alcohol sales in Supermarkets etc and the 'fuzzing out' of drinks in Movies and TV programs, ban on public advertising etc etc, all completely useless in a Nation where everyone thinks what 'they' want to do is ok and nobody and nothing else matters ! Government and so called 'Police' completely inept and their own Workforces are just as bad as the average Somchai. Indeed; often worse, as they think they are 'special' and 'above' the ordinary Folk.

Alcohol Wholesalers Hit By Weak Holiday Season Sales

The Chemical Piss they call Beer doesn't deserve high sales, especially at high prices, lowered alcohol content and less in the bottles than there used to be !! -

Revolutionary reforms: Government’s 90-day plan to boost economy
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The 'Nations Fortune' is already in the hands of the Six big families who control everything in Thailand. A 'New Era of Prosperity' will not apply to the Ordinary Folk scratching a living while bowing at the feet of those they are brainwashed to believe are 'above them' ! -

Thai tourism revolution: Duty-free ditch and booze bonanza
trainman34014 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They are their own worst enemies when it comes to Taxation on Booze. Drop the ludicrously high Tax on Wines and Spirits for all Domestic Shoppers and start allowing a larger flow of decent Beers on the shelves at sensible prices and just watch the Tills ticking over. Another Brain Cell would give them Plant Status ! -
Well; there was me thinking the TM6 was a dead duck as haven't filled one in when arriving by Air for at least 3 or 4 years. Last week we went down to Malaysia via the Land Border South of Hat Yai; had my usual Re-Entry Permit, stamped out and away. Coming back the same way some days later was a different story however. Got to the Border Immigration Point; long queues at only two open Kiosks, so 35 minute wait and on reaching the window i get my Passport thrown back at me by an Irate Officer yelling ''Where's your entry form ? '' Not knowing at that point i needed a TM 6 at a Land Crossing point i was a little confused and asked ''What Form ? ''. The Guy then had a mini fit throwing papers around and vanished from the other side of the window without saying anything, so i just waited and apologised to the Muslim people behind me in the queue for holding them up, as they had been waiting just as long as me and the queue was getting longer every minute. After about 4 minutes the IO appeared carrying a Sweet Water Drink in one hand and a TM 6 in the other, the latter being thrown at me through the window without comment, so i duly moved to one side and filled it in and upon completion i was summoned by the people who had been behind me to return to the window, which was very nice of them considering none of it was their fault. Another 5 minutes passed and all done and once again my Passport was thrown at me, at least this time with an entry stamp ! Returning same evening to Chiang Mai; next morning it was TM30 time at CM Immigration, which seems to become more arduous with every visit, this time it took the Mrs nearly 90 minutes to get the job done. The way things are going with all these dumb rules for us i am considering never leaving the Country again and restricting any trips to Domestic Locations only. As for the attitude of Thai IO's; things have never changed much, they are as arrogant as anyone could ever be in complete contrast to their Peers in other Countries, who are always Courtious and welcoming wherever we go. So; the TM6 is not a dead duck after all and in relating this story to other Expat friends i have not found anyone who knew it was still needed at Land Border Crossings.
