crazy government people here..

.....and the PG has announced that the transport department are putting the price up for meter taxis "to thwart taxi cheats"..............just legalize your problems away.

it seems the aussi ambassador was threatened by a cop

Don't let go, Larry. The more you push, the deeper they're putting themselves in it..

Just stay away from the Jetskis. Do not use them they can not scam you.

I think the Jet Ski operators on Patong are perfect Brand Ambassadors- finally some honesty about the state of Phuket.

This is a good opportunity to show how PW elaborates the story. The official is the head of the passport office reports TPN, whereas PW has her as

"a senior Thai official." Either way her remarks sum up Thailand's attitude toward foreigners- "give us the money and shut up about it, farang!"

Don't let go, Larry. The more you push, the deeper they're putting themselves in it..

If only Larry was Chinese, then they might listen to him. :) :)

A seminar was held.

Everybody wai'd.

The Governor spoke about fairness and the value of the tourist.

Everybody smiled.

Everybody nodded.

................... then they went back out the next morning and continued to do the same thing.

Thainess.
