It's all a terrible misunderstanding; everyone knows that when they say don't panic it means PANIC !!

i am married since 2012, renewing extesion each year ok but why so much documenten 5 cm A4 2x pictures, blue book etc marriage copy etc.... is it not enough with some passport copies and a marriage certificate yearly from the amphur and the bank book with required balance, time to go forward with some immigrations laws, they are outdated.

They have to show you they are earning their 1,900 Baht !

Majority here are born with sticky fingers; some will live with Relatives until the old ones die to get their hands on any riches while others grow tired of waiting, seen similar cases twice in our Village in the last five years.

I live on Samui and never drive after Dark anymore!......

 

So many times I have had "Motorcys" come towards me on the wrong side of the road and with no lights after dark!

 

But, being a "Farang" if I hit and killed or injured them it would be "My Fault"

 

Also, I have seen young Thai mothers riding motorbikes holding their small Babies in one hand whilst chatting on a mobile phone (tucked under their chin)!

 

I am not joking!

We live in Chiang Mai and i haven't driven after dark for about eight years now; it's just not worth all the risks owing to all the Idiots who call themselves Riders and Drivers, the majority who can't pass the very simplest Driving or Riding Tests, don't even turn lights on at Dusk or in Rainy conditions, Riders leaving Indicator Lights on after turning, recklessness when  cutting off corners or entering a Main Road from the left, jumping Red Lights etc etc, the list is never ending.  No; much easier and safer to stay home after Dusk and let the Idiots all kill or main each other !

They've known about this for at least 25 years and have done nothing about building a new Capital City on higher ground or moving to another City in situ; so let them all drown.

Meanwhile; the smart Bangkokians have been buying Property much further North for many years, hence there are thousands of empty second homes in Northern Moobahn's just waiting for people to arrive with wet feet.

Pork went on that list too but it made no difference whatsoever.   The Government 'Price Watch Lists' are just window dressing.

NOBODY gets any product into Thailand without greasing palms; so you can be sure any 'Ministers' at these talks will be looking for Brown Envelopes !

Doubt that is necessary. A-nut-in Bangkok probably owns the factory himself.

Mr CP owns one !

Darn - there goes Pattaya beach again.

'Officials' happy with that as creaming off the Budget time again !

No News here; normal behaviour !

Great Idea; let's just call them ''Red Light Area's '' and get on with opening them !

They are not shouldering the increases at all but passing it on to the Consumers while the Government does nothing !

Execute him by pushing him down a set of steps while blindfolded and his hands tied....

Steps about 50 Meters high should do it !

They need to put their money where their mouth is then and bring Childrens Car Seats down to a price people can afford; have you seen the price of them here ?

Anyway; more window dressing to make it appear to The World (yes; that big place outside the Bubble that Thailand lives in ) that all is well for Health&Safety in La La Land !
