  1. Most of the smoke comes from other countries is true. the problem is the other countries are poor. burning is best for them. so who is going to pay the price to stop the smoke. It will not be a small number. maybe an increase in the price of rice with the requirment to stop buring. if caught buring, then fine them because they now have more money. of course, thai has to remain competitve
  2. I have lived in other countries. it is best to pay your fine directly to the police. it is up to them to report it. this makes it simple for foreingers. it should be stanard practice. the alternative...arrest, court, lawyer, go to someplace you cannot find to pay fine....it really coild be a standard police to pay on the spot. they did it once where i lived in thaland. people got stopped. they completed a ticket, the person paid, and off they went. good idea.
  3. he would have lost that in the evening. no big deal. i would not even report 4k. i would think that I probably spent it and forgot that i did.
  4. how about someone who has lived here 15 years and spends 100,000b per month and already has a house but in daughter name.
  5. Drugs are a big business world wide. Good luck to thailand for taking a strong step.
  6. i actually honor Thailand for their driving behavior. there has never been a police stop of an individual car that i have seen in 15 years i have lived here. in USA there has been mulitple murders at traffic stops. huge fines. The drivers here are well discipline compared to other countries. i guess i am missing something in my 15 years here.
  7. i hope the police, parents, etc can find fun events for these kids. the worldis getting boring. allow this again .. just have proper people around for protection.
  8. i suggest you stop thinking of sex, etc. young woman probably not suited to be a good wife but can be. my point is being young is not the selling point for me. there are 24 hours in the day. what are you doing for 23 hours of it. give me a happy lady who i can make even happier. good enough for me. yes, her appearance must be acceptable but age is not the most key factor.
  9. i hope for tourism. it is a way the country makes money and they need less from me. i only wish they would set rules that encourages tourism. Bars should be able to be open until 2am. In fact, in big tourist area around the world, bars are open 24 hours. give the bars freedom when they have many customers who are having fun at 2am. it does not hurt anyone. The bar is making money. the employees are making money but most imporant the tiurist is having a good time. Why stop it? Remember, and never forget it, tourist have options. Tourist also communicate a lot. One big mistake and it will cost maybe 100s of tourist.
  10. the vast majority of road deaths are motorcycles driven by young kids who get alcohol from ??? they drink, drive, and have accidents. go focus on them. most of us walk to the bars or take public transport.
  11. all 3 friends went like this...home tested positive. sore throat, no temp, weak for 2 to 3 days. home test again on 3rd day...negative. then negative, negative. each was vaccinated with 2 shots. I think many get the virus and never know it. I have a riend who never tested. had the above systems and thought it was a cold. finally after 4 days they tested negative.
  12. here is a major count problem. many people get self tested at home. They get the virus but feel a little sick...sore throat, weak, little temperature. They stay home, take a drug, get better. Many do this. they never show up in the numbers.
  13. I have been brainwashed by American safety video that reminded me constantly ... "Speed kills". This flashes thru my mind when i drive. I got going to fast yesterday on my bike and all of a sudden the road turned to gravel. ooops. Too fast but i stayed upright. Once i was driving and around the turn there was a door in my lane. just the other day there was a large auto part in my lane. i advise everyone to slow down. it is things like i mention that can be very surprising. ... and can cause horrible accidents.
  14. Since people can test at home and the virus has little impact on their well being for 2 or 3 days, I assume the number rinfected is xx times more. What is xx? Something tells me that number is very big. Also, the illness is so mild, many get the virus and do not know it.
  15. What's the borderline between a bar and a restaurant? The difference is in their license.
  16. The high speed train to China from Chiang Mai to be completed 2017. Ooops, that did not happen but China now has a train to Laos. my question is this...China has almost 30,000 klms of track. If Thailand had connect with China, it would have been connected to nearly all people in China...including ex-pats. What would Thailand be like today?
  17. i would like to see a casino in Thailand but it is probably a bad idea. Thais have been prevented from gambling. This adds pent up desires. way too many would go who would lose money they call aford.
  18. I think everyone knew this. i only read the article to see if there was something else to know.
  19. national income of no less than 60 billion baht which is about 1000b per person
  20. article was 61 people arrested for drinking at bar. that does not help tourism.
