British man fined 5,000 baht for naked stroll on Krabi beach
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Krabi News
Krabi may be a tourist destination, however there are lots of Muslims who live there and they are a lot more conservative than say places like Pattaya. This stupid tourist is lucky he was only fined for his lack of common sense. IMO Some posters who think Thailand should be like their home country, should be happy that is is not. Cheers. -

A tourist on a rental bike, riding on Kamala beach, not very intelligent of this person. I hope the rental company was informed. -
Russian Man Arrested in Phuket with 351 Days of Overstay
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Wow, almost one year overstay should be at least a 10 year if not longer ban for this guy. IMO, I wonder if being Russian he will get a lesser time? -
Two Estonians fined for smoking on Finnair flight into Bangkok
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There are international laws about smoking on a plane, and vaping should face the same fines and jail time, in my opinion. How these brothers got a lesser fine and not jail time so far is less than what they should have gotten for smoking on an international flight. -

Is the modern corruption what we used to call ancient Chinese secrets? Just wondering. -

So this jerk is a duel citizen Thai and Chinese by the sounds of it, I do hope he gets a good fine and has to explain his attitude, especially if the car isw a rental. -
Foreign woman criticised for urinating on Bangla Road, Phuket
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Well the Chinese still have this activity being done very often. I saw it during many tours in China. When you have to go and there are no safe alleyways to dart into, what other choice is there? Peeing your self lools and feels pretty horrible. For the Thais who were offended, quit being so sensitive. Really, I have seen many Thais relieve themselves, during my many visits to Thailand as well. -
I also seen a clip where a Texas solar farm was severly damaged after a hail storm passed over a large part of it and totally destroyed a lot of the solar panels. Oh and those large windmills are pretty high maintenance as the blades, and bushings are not that long lasting and the blades cannot be recycled. Of course we the public do not get great news stories about this situation. At least Thailand does not have cold weather problems, with frost issues and such. Not sure how the big windmills operate in high winds as well, or if Thailand has enough windy days on the plains to make windmills viable. Just my thoughts.

Teenager Injured in Violent Clash on Phuket Bridge

It is the wild wild East these days, lot of guns out there, be careful with facial loss. -
None of my Thai relatives plan on getting an EV any time soon. They do not even trust the hybrids. Most of my relative have either a Honda, Izuzu or Toyota and plan to keep them 8 to 10 years. The charging stations are not easy to find in the smaller places in Thailand, The same goes for western Canada. The large cities in Canada have some charging stations, but in smaller towns, it is hard to find a lot of charging stations. Granted there will be more and more charging stations built in Canada, but for now I would only be interested in a hybrid as it will get me to my destination for sure. Harvey

During my klast visit this year, I seen more than 50 percent of Motercycle riders without helmets. Women especially do not want their hair mussed up. The amount of toruists without helmets was troubling, and i bet a lot of them did not have out of country medical insurance. I am happy to be back home in cooler tempertures, even the snow on the ground does not bother me. Hot season in Thailand is not for me. I also seen many drunk people riding motercycles, and am not surprised to read this story of a young tourist dying from a crash. RIP to this fellow, and good luck to all of you with this hot season.

Kiwi Brothers Slapped With 5 Charges For Assaulting Policeman
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
So these 2 NZ boxers have rich parents. I guess the nanny or nannies did not teach these 2 spoiled guys much of anything. Jail time and then bann them for a long time is the way to go. IMO -

Thailand to welcome 36 million foreign tourists in 2024
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I found Thailand to be too hot from the last week of February until I left March 13th. My next trip will be in the November to early February period, when some cooler temperature should exist. The food is still great, and prices for most places to stay were not much more expensive than they were just before the COVID hit. Good Luck with the hot season you hearty expats, and tourists. -
How “peacemaker” Thaksin is stirring up Thai politics
Stargeezr replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
As a Canadian visitor, where we have our own political problems, I cannot comment on Thai politics. I chat with some expat friends and soon we are talking about more serious sports like Football, hockey, and such. Winter has arrived in most of Canada now, so i am looking to escape to hotter places soon. Thailand food is great, people are mostly friendly and the guest houses and hotels are nice as well. -
