LomSak27 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Must be 1/3 to 40 per cent less people on walking street today. Shocked but happy. I assume Chinese tourists make up the bulk of that.1/3 missing. Chiang Mai Experts are there some certain vacation seasons for the Chinese tourists. Did summer season just end? Does anyone know?

One lady on the news was arrested I believe 6 times. She said the fine was only 400-500 and she was making 1500/day so considered it "cost of doing business". I believe she was told that next time she would have to do 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need help quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinobot Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Fines won’t work, the Chinese don’t care about some measly baht taken away once in awhile. The real punishment for being caught feeding pigeons should be the cops deleting all selfies taken during the offender’s current visit to Thailand. THAT would put an end to it real fast.

You need help quickly When it comes to feral (townie ) pigeons, I don't think so. They are an absolute pest and unlike any other bird I can think of. I live fairly close to Tapae Gate and have to make just about every roof space etc pigeon proof. It has even got to the stage where you can't leave food out as well as the kitchen windows open, otherwise you have pigeons in the kitchen. It is beyond a joke. The other day I caught one in the kitchen trying to break its way into a packet of porridge oats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have every right to look for food their ancestors were dinosaurs unlike ourselves who have become 7 billion pests. Birds should not be picked on when all they are doing is surviving. I have birds all the time landing on my balcony, sometimes stepping into the place, for me its a joy for others they will disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 There is a strange poetic irony in seeing the coming together of earth's most populous nation and earth's most prolifically breeding and urban bird. Something TS Eliot might have had fun with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChakaKhan Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Cops were at TP gate today as I spoke to them and asked if he was there about the chinese-birds He said yes BUT he just stood there--I would guess to look for sellers as the chinese were still doind bird selfies.....but at least nice to see an effort....

chainarong Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 My experience with Mainland Chinese suggests everyone is on a lower platform than them, so I can't see much co-operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
