News Forum - Another Dutch national arrested in Phuket for illegally entering Thailand
You seem to think you are meeting the majority of Thais, but you are actually meeting the minority of Thais. I have seen bar girls with tattoos but they only represent 1% of the population, unfortunately, many farangs think that is the norm as they never meet standard Thais. -

News Forum - WasteShark provides solution for polluted Chao Phraya River in Thailand (video)
That thing would be like using nail scissors to cut your lawn. Its about 20 times too small. The river in BKK already has a fleet of yellow boats designed to remove debris including weed growth which would stop that toy in its tracks.- 1

News Forum - Phuket officials swoop on encroaching beach beds, umbrellas, and restaurants
"The classic disaster was at Surin Beach, where there were some excellent clean, sanitary well run restaurants/beach clubs with immaculate sunbeds with canopies beachside of the road. This is what many tourists expect and are prepared to pay a little extra for." In a past life, I lived in Toulon, France for a couple of years and anyone who's ever spent much time in the Riviera has seen it done right (as well as in Spain, Italy, and any number of other places bordering the Med) and it's DELIGHTFUL. Really, the coolest thing ever. Before that, I lived in Japan for 5 years, on Sagami Bay, south of Tokyo and Yokohama. Every beach had the seasonal temporary structures. Beach bar/restaurant, one right after the other. Food stands galore. Also, DELIGHTFUL. Blows my mind. ... Another one... I came to Thailand a lot in the late 80s (when I lived in Japan), Pattaya mostly, and during the days, we'd often hop on the motorbikes and drive out to Jomtien. I can't recall there being anything much on the other side of the road but jungle. All the stuff, the quaint little beach bars, were all on the sand. It was terrific. Here I am 35 years later, and I live in Pratamnak, Jomtien, but I rarely go down to the beach. I go to a couple other places I know where I can at least sit in a restaurant that, if not right on the sand, at least butts up against it.
