  1. ''Intelligent Policies'' are unheard of in Thailand !
  2. Wishful thinking if ever there was. How are all these 'Top Men' supposed to find the time to do things properly when there are other more pressing factors to take care of; like playing Golf, taking one or more Concubines out for Lunch, figuring out when the next Overseas Trip paid for by the Tax Payer is coming up, how to get ones finger in the pie of the next Corrupt 'share out' etc etc....it's a busy life for these Guys !
  3. Can never undersatnd why anyone doesn't look at their stamp when they enter any country ? There's an old saying...''Always read the Smallprint'' !
  4. Ah; so we all need to be Shrinks if we expect a return smile in a Supermarket !
  5. Give most Thai's, especially Men, a plate of food and a bottle of beer and all else fades in the memory, even if it only happened yesterday !
  6. Just walk around any Supermarket and see all the unhappy Farang faces. Don't expect them to smile back or acknowledge your existance; i just can't understand the attitude of many of them but hey, each to his own happy or miserable World eh !
  7. New Power Plant 'approved'; now all that needs to be sorted is how much each Official is pocketing out of the Project before a sod is turned and once that's decided it will probably be at least another 5-10 years before the thing is working...if it works at all !
  8. Seems to me that Americans are either in one camp or the other and no matter who leads that camp they will vote for them like sheeple if they are a good person or bad. I am not American but i would not vote for Trump if i were as he is basically a Man that only cares about himself and every time i hear him say 'America First' i always think what he really means is 'Trump First' !
  9. Seems to me that this is just another way for the Immigration Boss asking to bolster his staff numbers to cope with all the extra work. Never mind about the overcrowded Immigration Offices wher we Expat 'Customers' have to wait sometimes for hours to get our Extensions etc sorted, they just don't give a Fig for those of us who support the Economy year in and year out !
  10. And the dozy Cops will probably not find them and they will be back to finish the job !
  11. Nope; he will be a Rule 43 Prisoner and will be in with all the other Kiddy Fiddlers !
  12. Becuase of who they know and not what they know; same as all 'important' jobs in Thailand !
  13. According to my Thai Wife the majority of Thai's only use about half or less of the Language. She used to say even Yingluck couldn't speak Thai properly !
  14. Thailands Bravest will 'Investigate' and this will end with a few Wai's, a 500 Baht Fine and another 500 for disturbing the Cops slumber !
  15. Your last two words lead to horrific problems here.
  16. Sure; he went to an 'All Pass' school like all the other Dimwits running the Country !
  17. How about an 'App' for 'Safe' and 'Legal' Riding methods !
  18. I have Thai people living around me with truck loads of 'Degree's' according to them but the majority of them and a lot of other Thai's i meet are actually well behind others in this part of The World. General Knowledge...Zero, Common Sense....Zero, Accountability....Zero, Responsibility....Zero, very few seems to be aware of what's happening around them and just seem to live in their own Little World where they are Legends in their own minds !
  19. No worries for anyone in our lifetime; it will be at least 50 years before it's built !
  20. You can put in as much money as you like but nothing will change other than certain people's wallets getting thicker !
  21. Seatbelts ? We will never know but what i do know is that every Thai that gets into my Car has no intention of putting on a Seatbelt until i tell them that if they don't wear one they will not be travelling in my Car !
