Maitdjai Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 "Alibi-Fining" is very easy! "Inspecting" means, to move the...! OK, ok, but we must check out first, if (hopefully) some "Aliens" doing also business there... Fined, and case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And next they should inspect businesses on Phi Phi. It is known for years that large amounts of untreated wastewater get dumped back into the ocean there. It would take a huge investment to get things straight there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 First warning. 10,000 baht fine. Second warning. 100,000 baht fine, and a further warning, that if we catch you doing this again, your restaurant will be closed permanently. Third warning. 500,000 baht fine, and closure of the restaurant. You have 10 days to sell off your equipment, then the doors will be padlocked. If you are serious about the environment, then you do something about it. And if it means nothing, then Prayuth and the local authorities, continue with their ridiculous and meaningless proclamations, and do what they have been doing for the past five years. Nothing. Absolutely nothing to benefit the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais will take you to the 3rd strike & bugger off without paying a fine. 1st offence 50,000 baht fine, plus making sure water/waste disposal is routed so as to avoid pollution. offend again you will be shut down... end of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
