55Jay Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Increased drug check points; cops getting done for drug dealing; saw the other article here with video on those folks who did the set up on the traffic cop taking 400 baht - after YT suggested a video on cops arresting people at check point with pistols in their cars (I think it was in Pattaya, not sure) and group of punks were saying to the cops, "Hey, my Daddy is big guy so and so, blah blah blah!" as they stuffed said punk into the cop car; destroying counterfeit goods...... Cynical or realistic, perhaps one equals the other, but is there an effort being made or is this all coincidence? Each article, even effort, taken individually, would seem like just another flash in the pan by BiB, or whomever. Collectively though, what's up? Some on here say they prefer Thailand as it is, don't want it cleaned up too much. Actual traffic tickets with the option to contest in court later vs. roadside "fines" and be done with it? Give the cops a serious raise + hold them strictly accountable? Then, for example - - Annual property taxes based on market value of your house, in order to pay for squeaky clean government services? - More taxes on beer and cigarettes and no subsidies on other key items? What's the ideal balance for expats in Thailand, according to expats in Thailand? Not forgetting about the Thais, but since this is an expat forum.... Wouldn't it be odd to have Thailand be like the UK, or the US, or Australia, all clean, neat and proper (on the surface), like a lepper surrounded on all sides by countries that... aren't. ASEAN? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttelise Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I often wonder where the valuations come from, is it 1.8 billion baht divided across 1 million items. 1 x fake LV bag cost US $3.50 to manufacture: retail value B1,800 1x genuine LV bag costs $9.60 to manufacture: retail value B18,000 Or is 1 fake Ferrari going to be shown at full market value For sure it is!
