If You Could Remove 3 Things From Thailand...

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Now before I start, I did think about this topic before posting - it's no big deal, it's just a question that isn't that daft really is it?

But if you could take away three things in Thailand that you or that you think the country could do without - what would they be?

I've yet to choose but I suppose fast food would be one of my three.

[The_Moog]

1) Soi Dogs

2) Holes and motorbikes on sidewalks

3) Naughty nightlife.

[tuky]

All the rubbish would be a great start.

[ProfessorFart]

1) Tuk Tuk Drivers in BKK / Baht Bus drivers in Pattaya

2) 50% of cars in BKK

3) Social Order Campaigns.

Specific to Thailand, come on Wolfie that's a lazy answer relevant the world over.

Pollution, basic liberty restricting laws, my girlfriend

Corruption can always work for you as well Scamp.

[Jai Dee]

Agree with the Prof on BKK tuk tuks and Pattaya baht busses...

Not wanting to sound too sanctimonious, but my number 1 pet hate in Thailand (and yes I know it's impossible to eradicate and I know I'm probably gonna get flamed for it) is corruption... it's everywhere you go, at all levels in society and government.

D@mn... just previewed my post and someone's beaten me to it!

[aletta]

1) Depts to loan sharks

2) Deforestation

3) Corrupt military personnel

[ProfessorFart]

1) Hypocritical English teachers who feel they have 'moved on' from the girly scene and now see themselves as moral crusaders, criticising those who enjoy the naughty nightlife, despite having spent their formative years in Thailand whoring it up big time.

2) Poor quality expat authors.

3) Spiders.

[Boon Mee]

1. BKK Traffic.

3. BKK Traffic.

Hmmm, well I dunno Madness I dunno - no more than pollution.

Where do you draw the line anyway?

[HarryHacker]

Whistles!

[bkkmadness]

Pollution can't work well for you Scamp, late night drinking venues and paying off the police foir minor offences often can

Here's another one, f.ucking faulty fire alarms in buildings, my ones just gone off again for the second time this week. Of course if I don't post anymore today I may have just burned to death

2) Outdoor burning of everything in sight.

3) Songthaews in Chiang Mai.

Nice.

2) Poor quality expat authors.

That could be me.

3) Spiders.

Are you serious?

[ProfessorFart]

Yes! I've had one too many nasty spider encounters in Thailand!

[The_Eye_Of_Sauron]

1) Thai men

2) Toilets

3) Signposts - especially those in the middle of the pavements.

2) Poor quality expat authors.

That could be me. 

If you remove the word 'author' Scampy is spot on with his analysis

[Darknight]

1) Corruption

2) poverty

3) replace poor laws by well enforced regulations benefitting everyone.

Unfortunatley this would make thailand :

EUROPE

[CharlesDavid]

1. A certain d1ckhead running a particular bar in Pattaya.

2. The necessity to make visa runs rather than simply report to any immigration office in Thailand.

3. Gaping potholes in the road

I don't think it would be right to post the name on here.

Suffice to say this is a guy who I have had trouble with in the past, someone who I have seen make a completely unprovoked attack on one of his customers and I have heard that this is quite a regular occurence in his bar.

If you've come across him you will know who I mean. If you haven't you are better off not knowing him at all.
