  1. These Morons they think they have a proper job when they can get into any position where they can steal money, even from Kids !
  2. The Thai's certainly know all about being Racist for sure !!
  3. One way means both ways to Thai's; construction or no construction !
  4. 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.
  5. In Thailand nothing is an Emergency until it happens; they see no further than today, or at best tomorrow !
  6. 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 !!
  7. Ah yes; same here....it's called a Casino !
  8. With extended drinking hours the death toll is much more likely to go UP by 10%. Watch this space.
  9. According to Police Boss Man they don't have enough money for Patrol Cars and not enough Men either !!
  10. I wondered where Mr Blobby had gone !
  11. 23 when i got up this morning in Hang Dong and 31 now. In my 18 year experience Thai Weather Forecasts are as unreliable as just about every other offering !
  12. 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' !
  13. Not stopped off in Sri Lanka as yet but not had any problems with US, just long queue's !
  14. A bad experience for you Mate. We've been down several times and never had a problem.
  15. 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 !
  16. 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.
  17. Now we know how he got wealthy in the first place !
  18. Look no further than members of the current Cabinet most likely; either that or High ranking Military Officers and/or Policemen !
  19. As the reputation of Thai Police is absolute S++t; why would ANYONE want to wear their uniform ?
  20. Most of them have never seen a Parachute, let alone wear one !
  21. No; it was the BMW that dropped him off at the Airport !
