Get real, old curmudgeons playing the holier-than-thou card are a joke. Until the drunk drivers ride over your wife or kid, then perhaps one sees they had a point! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarrySR Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I saw that checkpoint, slowed down to let about 7 motorbikes get in front of me, that jammed up the queue and they let me drive past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe time to start another? Why do you propose if you do not accept on your line people who request ? thank you anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 For most of us, I would prefer the cops here, unless there is a real need for one. Then, it is roll of the dice. At least the cops here stay out of my face, and when they do hassle me, I push back alot. I mouth off to them, I raise my voice, and I make a real stink, if they are engaging in "petty mordida". Usually they back down, and if not I give them 200 baht. Rarely more than that. Impossible to do in the US. And if you need law enforcement, outstanding forensics, or a good detective, you can get it back there. Not here. Not likely. Always remember one thing. The police here are not engaged in law enforcement. They are revenue collection agents, and they each have their own franchise. Nobody will ever touch them. They are protected at the highest levels. They do as they please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I posted this on Feb 24; "If anyone is interested in joining a Line group in Pattaya where falangs post police checkpoints around town day or night, send me a PM and I can add you." I've added all members that sent me a request (aprox 7), so I'm not sure what you're talking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokairportlink Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I also sent a request and you didn't reply. You do not seem to be able to check your Line friends requests properly. Anyway your Line group is now dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Line id isn't the same name I use here. Edit: I belong to 2 Line groups where people post if they see a police checkpoint, both on mute so no beeps in the middle of the night and both still active. Forget about asking me now, I'm not in the habit of helping those that are rude. Edited April 29, 2022 by bbko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the field useless for notifications you're actually interested in. It will never go to zero unless you go in the group to view that rubbish. Personally i found it annoying so left, no need for it really if legal anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
