"Both police denied this and said that posters should get their facts straight before damaging the good name of the police by posting incorrect information"

Boy are they in for a shock if they ever stumble across TV

The one I know about is drinking all day / all night long.

 
120sqm, two floors, right in the middle of Asoke, Bangkok thanks

I do find it a bit amusing how readers get this "picture" in their head about another poster. I don't give a stuff about folk knowing who I really am, have posted many pics over the years.
 
So for Mr.McFishy here is my clock, my hoooose with trusty stead and one of me (heading for 70 and Mrs.Trans heading for 50) taken two days ago....
PS..Yes I am holding a fag behind my back....[emoji23]
 

Why is age relevant....?

I rest may case!!!

They write receipts, LOL it's a scam. and I know of quite a few who got off paying 0 baht. By the way that area is frequented by many many more Thais than Westerners, and I have never ever seen one being fined, and they do litter....
 
My home turf LOL

I think we already established that I don't litter, but I guess you have a little trouble reading. Or are so self centered that you didn't even bother reading... As to harsh fines, you have a lot to learn about the area that much is certain. Hint, enforcement is geared to tourists and no receipts are offered.

yes you may smile, normal people are offended by the rip off practice. Funny how you are so against street vendors, but have no problem with people pulling this scam.
 
But what else can be expected from someone who actually believes the Junta is fighting corruption !
 
Must not be in Thailand very long, you have a lot to learn, so much is clear.

Who says I have ever been fined ? I haven't. That being said, if you impose fines on people for littering, one should provide a few waste bins here or there. Are you for real ?
 
I suppose they aren't there to ensure those motorbikes can use the pavement without fear of hitting them..

Yeah and that leaves more room for the litter police handing out fines, oh progress !

 
Hey, guess what? That's exactly what is happening. And there doesn't seem to be much of a people's movement opposing it. Funny, that. Guess Thais will do what people have been doing for millenia: adapt. And enjoy a slightly less stressful environment, especially for their kids. 

He may regret not taking vacations

what a load of BS

Why would would a sane person do this



"But what is most shocking are the studies that suggest how many cigarettes’ worth the smoker is inhaling in an hour session on the hookah pipe. I always felt it might be the equivalent of having two or three cigarettes.

Not a bit of it. Some studies suggest that an hour on shisha is like having 100, even 200 cigarettes. That “cultured” hour I used to spend could have been like the full time smoking of cigarettes for three days.

And looking back that is exactly what smoking shisha did to me. It re-addicted me to nicotine and cigarettes in double quick time, almost before I realized what was happening.

In this regard the junta’s no shisha policy might be doing many people a favor."

Oh, you are talking about a 400 m stretch of road in Bangkok. I thought we were talking about a Bangkok wide issue.
 
I have not walked between the two stations in the evening for a number of years. I do remember walking through there and finding it a nightmare getting through when it was all blocked up, and generally i like street stalls, food carts etc. I enjoy having them, it is part of BKK life for me.

I'm talking about lower sukhumvit between asoke and Nana where there was extreme congestion . Your talking about a few food carts in a lower tourist area
Still you should have known About the curfew unless you never been to that area before 7

What 7pm curfew? Street vendors are out all day.

Dont gloat too much because at the first opportunity all the street vendors
will be back same as before 100% guaranteed...
Street vending is a way of life in Thailand and that will never change....

It was rumoured the 911 terrorists dined there and discussed the attack

This seemed trollish from the beginning, and perception was right (I am one of few that live both in Bangkok and Jomtien).
" Very few who have made the transition from one to the other and been remotely happy about it. Except people in Pattaya who have moved to Bangkok, of course." Oh bloody well "of course" is provided as some sort of evidence and/or reasoning skills. Show us your data methods.
The remarks about airport & Bangkokians having "nice car waiting for them in parking lot" vs taking a taxi is more economics than smarts. If the OP had brains he might do what I do: take the train into Bangkok. It's faster, safer, cheaper for openers. If going to Pattaya take the bus to Jomtien: faster cheaper and safer again.
 I don't want to use the word "stupid" so suppose "thick" is adequate.

There are some truth hidden in the article. We live in Bangkok and are definately not Hi So's. but I would still not venture out in shorts.....

 
Just need to restrict the traffic getting into the city centre in the first place.
 

In any case, it's unfair to blame the street vendors for what is a city planning failure.
