Drug use in Thailand and in places like Pattaya are rampant, owing to the fact that it's readily available

and cheap and Pattaya people are no different, and if you randomly urine test people on any street

in any city in Thailand you will find that many are using...... as for the stealing, this will no be Thailand

if workers will not steal from their employers.....

Local administration staff stealing !! I am shocked.

Druggies in a government office???

Maybe that is why so many crazy decisions are made, staff are high.

[FATOZ]

Purple urine, they need to find a new dealer

[NongKhaiKid]

Smuggling, drug use, playing games on computer and texting.

Beats working !

Dig a bit deeper and see what you find.

Ah yes, first in line (again) to state the blatantly obvious. Have some coffee before you do this 'stream of consciousness' nonsense.

While we're at it, since when has pilfering in the workplace been a uniquely Thai predilection?

Should have said they were just honoring Prince like others around the world and his hit "Purple Your rain".

Officials under influence? The first thing that came to mind was: under these circumstances maybe that explains the idea of the new questionnaire for foreigners.

No sweat; they will explain that they had been drinking tea made from the flowers of the Butterfly Pea.

Stealing eh? But why sell it to shops that have been recycled, is the local scrap merchant not a good payer?

"Officers in The Division of Public Works"

Sure goes along way toward explaining why the construction projects on Beach Road have been going on for years with no completion in sight.

Maybe the Army will get it sorted out when they arrive next month..... And maybe not!

Certainly another "don't hold your breath" moment. Based on his failure to deliver anything truly meaningful in Bangkok after all those grandiloquent speeches before he assumed the mantle of PM as a civilian, I foresee a quiet 'extraordinary general meeting' of the most influential Chonburi stakeholders where beyond some minor cosmetic changes and some token, showcase busts and reassignments, it will be business as usual. Talk about living the irresistible force paradox.
