News Forum - Move Forward Party opposes alcohol ban on Buddhist holidays
That is a very good point and something I never thought about Because even when serving in a mug, they were be much slower than a normal night BUT.......They would know full well the rules when they bought the bar/club I am not advocating for alcohol bans............. -

News Forum - Move Forward Party opposes alcohol ban on Buddhist holidays
Exactly. Just in the last month there have been *three* dry Saturdays, and while it's easy for armchair commentators to wave it off, it has real hard consequences for tourists and businesses. My friend is visiting Thailand for a week, and was shocked to find out his weekend was ruined - waste of time and money coming here at this time. Guaranteed he will be back less often. And what about bar and club owners? 3 weekends out of the month ruined - and that's when they make the most of their revenue! It's probably not going to bring them under, but it's also completely illogical to restrict private business like this for non-reasons. Stop the non-alocohl days. Stop alcohol curfews. Completely. Like a normal country. If it doesn't bother you then shut up - it does not concern you. It does bother and hurts many, many others. -

So the solution is to collectively punish and restrict everyone - including those who don't break the law? no - the proper solution in a normal country would be to enforce the law, arrest and prosecute drunk drivers, and throw in jail anyone waving a knife. Yes- of course it's easier to pretend to be "solving" the problem by gestures like restricting alcohol hours - but that hasn't stopped anyone from drunk driving or random violence - it just allows them to pretend they're doing something against it while avoiding real solutions (enforcement). -

News Forum - Phuket immigration issues yellow cards to Thai landlords and foreigner
Phuket- the gift that keeps on giving. Great way to make foreigners feel welcome in an island entirely dependent on income from foreigners. Giving landlord "yellow cards" will just contribute to xenophobia and reluctance to rent to foreigners. As usual they keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over again. -

News Forum - 97 year old Thai grandmother abandoned on road by daughter, found soaking in rain
Children are not a pension plan. Of course there is a limit - someone who is too old to work themselves can't keep taking care of their parents. And that's my entire point. There is zero planning for the future. Completely irresponsible and selfish IMO.
