Popular Post Dart12 Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 only thing I can say...is check a store or two today. I bet some go thru with the 2 day open event. Whoever said don't give your money to the local mom and pop places if they are charging double. Hell no, I'm on the opposite side of the fence. They've now earned my business AFTER prohibition is over. Paying double? that's biz 101 of supply and demand. It's earned and deserved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're taking a helluva risk right now, I'm MORE than happy to pay. Again, most of them don't carry my brand so I'm screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough Thais not complying with the restrictions to make the government use draconian measures. Rules are rules, no exceptions. Why don't they stop them driving then, to fix their year after year huge road problem....? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driving issue has been around for many years. Covid-19 is new. Give it a few years and lockdown rules would be ignored too. Seriously, the road deaths don't seriously affect tourism and the world are watching each other on this one. There's a global race for countries to be virus free, and borders to be open to visitors. Thailand just wants to be first with everything (including road deaths). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not fly so far from my country just to drink tea or coffee, on the beach. Thanks for the memories. Geezer Just the tip of the iceberg to come. Expect more of a Chinese control format taking over here while the Generals pockets get hugely filled.

High on the agenda for zero baht tours is a stroll down Walking Street, the ultimate opportunity to see scantily clad girls and selfies. The Indians, although not big spenders, tour the bars and Walking Street nightly. Indians and Chinese are big massage parlour fans too. If adult entertainment ended in Pattaya, you would see the virtual extinction of all tourism, not just farang mongers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the control freaks are also working on making the vaccine for alcohol consumption that will prevent you from relaxing, getting inebriated or enjoying yourself.

After watching all the incompetence coming from the gov and their lack of concern for the people, even going above the gov, the people have had enough...... They've completely destroyed the country and peoples ability to make a living and they think they're going to carry on after all this is over.. ......... Look at the place........ It's a sad situation when you can't sell three of the most sought after commodities in the world...... Food, pleasure and entertainment ...... But looking on the bright side, we call all enjoy a nice lemon soda while watching marching bands and military parades.......

The other is to implement total control over all people like China has done but calling it reaching a plateau like Bhutan is at. If they even try this the Thais better grow some gonads to toss these fat pig headed ego maniac self righteous Generals out on their behinds having to go into exile or prison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 superpowers in Thailand. The King's Guard and the Queen's Guard. Most of those that initiated the coup were ex Queens Guard and rely on them to stay in power. Over recent months, Prayut has been desperately been trying to curry favour with the Kings Guard. There's been a new kid on the block since 2017 and he has the King's Guard.

Johnny Appleseed Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Think the booze ban has to stay in force until the curfew ends...imagine being a policeman trying to enforce the curfew with drunken idiots running around!
