Better making all guns illegal AND police locking up guns after work

the legal guns are not the problem (except those of the police)  Most of the crime are committed with illegal guns.

So make sure that posession of illegal guns disappear.

Normally it is the driver who causes the car to hit something it shouldn't.

 

I understand:  the car lost face -not her (can even be seen in the foto)

[Thai wife doesn’t really want divorce after affairs...]

Very hard situation for you. I feel sorry, had a similar experience long time ago. I think you feel the truth and  know what to do but you are also afraid of it. Not doing anything makes your situation not easier.

 

I could understand if  you are still looking for a happy solution - which is unlikely unfortunately. After you made a clear and honest decision the pressure will be gone and unexpected wonderful things that you can't imagine now  might happen later - bringing you and the children happiness again. My experience.

 

But take care that she doesn't kidnapp the kids and disappear.

[Pattaya’s reliance on foreign tourism must end, local officials told]

Again - they got it all wrong.

 

Seems they want to eliminate foreigners from their equation

 

They should face it - Pattaya - Thailand -  became big, rich and famous

not because of their own effort, qualities, intelligence, honesty

but only because of the foreigners and their money.

 

Without that they would not have known what to do with their beautiful geography.

They would still be in their rice fields

 

I nearly consider wishing thaksin back

 

Hopefully they will not destroy it now

I have not been there very often - and was there with my wife. Like bangla road,  it was such a vibrant, thrilling colorful lively place - even if only to eat, drink an watch. First hurt by that  unworldly tourism minister with her stupid "family resort" idea then punched into agony by that virus. I would deerly miss it if it will not recover.

I understand the logic:

 

make a coup

have an election

if they don't elect who you want elected

have another election or go back to square one
