smokie36 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Remove all Farang that will not accept that they do not make the rules here. Remove all Farang that believe that everything is perfect in Thailand and nothing should change. Remove every alternate farang on an arbitrary basis, without reason, cause or justification. Force people to wear clownfeet. Encourage more daft ideas. SC I think its unfair to remove the farang without giving them a chance to redeem themselves. Therefore I propose building a Coliseum and forcing them to walk over hot coals while eating an ice cream cone each Songkran would be good for this event. The winners would have to wear the clown shoes afterwards for five years. The losers go home until they have learnt how to juggle at least five Thai girls at once without complaint.

Make all working girls carry at least one condom while working. 5. Any man dressed as a woman should be forced to get the first round in. 6. Any man dressed as a woman should complaint in the morning. 7. Theft from tourists should carry a mandatory sentence of 300 years. 8. Hotels should make breakfast free of charge. 9. Proper Danish bacon should be served at breakfast not streaky bacon. 10 All vehicles should drive in the same direction, even mopeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least reduce the amount of whining/whinging on TV. Yes to the first point. No to the second - it would increase the noise from whiney expats who have had to go home because they don't meet the new rules and who - once they have gone home - realise what a wonderful life they had in Thailand, even though they spent all their time here moaning it wasn't like home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necronx99 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 All these good ideas have already been done. It's all taking place in a special trial area. Clearly marked on any map as "Singapore". You just have to pick yourself up and move there. Me, I like things just as they are, well really I liked them as they were 20 years ago but as it is now will do. i like cheap incompetetant tradesman. I like that I can buy my way out of a ticket with a corrupt cop. I like that streetfood has almost no safety regulation I like lax regulation around most things I like etc.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain countries do actually require this eg...if retiring in South Africa, you have to lodge around US$10k with the goverment when your visa is approved for repatriation etc if so required...if you do decide to un-retire and move out the country your money is refunded...personally think its a good policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think anyone who has actually taken an annual vacation in Blackpool should have their passports revoked immediately and prohited from international travel for the rest of their lives and make them go on holiday to either Butlins or Pontins.

StreetCowboy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 A lot of people have posted suggestions which seem negative - mostly based on inhibiting the freedom of others to enjoy themselves in Thailand as they see fit, or to behave as they see fit. I can see that proving impracticable to implement, but maybe Thailand would LOOK better, if you turned a blind eye. We should really think hardest about what we can actually do to improve Thailand for ourselves. To improve Thailand, and this forum in particular, I am abating my banter with blinkered and blethering bigots. SC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 What i would like is for kids to be taught the benefits to maintaining the natural beauty of the country by the use of rubbish bins. Why not the Adults as well? Maybe most people are quite content to live in a large rubbish dump. I do my best to keep the area around my home clear of rubbish but it's a losing battle. About 8 months ago rubbish bins (from recycled tyres, an excellent idea - well done Thailand) were delivered to this village and for the first time, a regular weekly rubbish collection. Mostly, you are never more than 3 metres from a bin, but still the majority just drop their rubbish where they stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
