Popular Post DrDave Posted January 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2021 Considering his family owns a considerable number of businesses in Patong, guess who all of their employees will be pressured to elect? 'Asked why his brother Mr Prab is not running for election, Mr Pakrit explained, “He has to mainly take care of the family’s business.” ' Oh, Prab will be taking care of the family business alright with just a tiny bit of "help" from little brother! “I want to follow up and carry on our father’s will in order to listen and solve problems of people,” Does that include carrying on the tradition of corruption, intimidation and importing "voters" from another province? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 All Prab’s heroic efforts in helping the people of Patong get through the last 9 or 10 months will no doubt pay off, he fully deserves what is coming to him, even though he is using his brother as a front. The current mayor Kebsup has done absolutely nothing for the Thai people since the lock down crippled Patong. Most of the people that voted for her last time will be long gone. She doesn’t stand a chance this time round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess the citizenry of Patong will have to choose between someone who has accomplished very little in her term, and another who's family has a deep and well-known history of corruption, extortion and illegal activity. Not much of a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However cast your mind back to the last time the Beach Road underwent major works under the direction of the late lamented mayor of the day and the fiasco surrounding the manhole/drain covers. I foresee the same excuses being rolled out in (around) June time.... “there is no money in the budget for fixing the manholes” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong is riddled with corruption from top to bottom and the best us expats can do is to try and ignore it and get on with our lives – – that's provided our lives are not cut short by large potholes, flooded roads, landslides, hanging cables and whatever else hasn't been maintained correctly here. It's a joke, but not to laugh at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Am I the only one who sees the funny in the location at Royal Paradise Hotel? A hotel is a bland big concrete structure devoid of soul. Located in the heart of the homosexual section of Patong, before the exodus, one drove in and out past a series of short time massage parlors, cheap bars, and ran the gauntlet of ladyboys and prostitutes. He is the retro candidate and what Patong needs is someone new and forward thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
