  1. Can’t finish a road project in and around Pattaya No chance in completing a monorail in any reasonable time. But I guess it will give the mayor a chance to tell them to hurry up and finish

  4. Monorails in Pattaya is the stupidest idea I've ever heard of. Not only will it be expensive to build and use, but it'll be an eyesore. Be sure someone will be getting rich from this white elephant.

  9. So is it illegal for cops in Thailand to work part-time as security as common in the US? Really, they lose all their rights for their private life just because they're cops? What and stupid country. BUT WHAT IS WORSE< MUCH WORSE, why doesn't this country arrest everyone involved in TV and movie production, surely there are tons of uncontrolled police impersonation going on there. Throw the whole lot of the thai film industry in jail. What a joke! I NOW HAVE NO RESPECT for Thailand. What a delusional mentally deranged country!

  12. Better for Thailand to spend the money on developing the country as a tourist and vacation destination. Forget about conventions which only happens once every few years for a few weeks.

  14. May not be able to tune in to the first live show in a while this weekend, unfortunately. But I am interested in hearing your thoughts, as a long time resident of Phuket (and notable critic of the taxi mafia), on the difficulties in establishing reliable public transit in Phuket.

  16. Can't believe Minnesota even made the list for the 2027 Specialized Expo! The state is FUBAR and is in chaos, with crime and social engineering gone wrong! It may never recover, just like other states that have followed suit!
