Yes, a land that sees the rolls of dunny paper stacked 10 high in the shop window far more pleasing to the eye for our visitors than the colour and smell of hundreds of fresh flowers, outstanding.

A friend, resident of Pattaya, sent me a message saying the traffic in Pattaya had been really bad with all the BKK people visiting from APEC.
He said there had been a large unexplained increase in the number of stray dogs there also.

Oldtimer,
You are right about Thailand doing a great job hosting APEC but Thailand is always a great host regardless of what the guests arrive for. ÝThailand has much to be proud of. ÝI am divided on my thoughts of what is good for Thailand though. ÝI know the cost benefit ratios of what they did to make this happen. Ý
I am not talking about the p4p costs either. I am not saying the lack of garbage is a bad thing. ÝI am saying it has a cost. ÝIt also has a root cause that is different than the root cause in western countries. ÝJust because a western society does things a certain way does not mean it is best for Thailand. ÝEach good thing Thailand takes from the western countries comes with a bad thing. ÝThailand does not have the infastructure yet to take good things from the west with out bringing in many bad things. ÝThe garbage issue spoken of by NaughtiusMaximus has its root cause in a different base than western societies. Ý
Replace a coconut gourd overnight with a plastic bottle without the infastructure to deal with plastic bottles and you have a problem. Ý
I am always careful in saying what Thailand should do. ÝSomething that appears to be good does not always work out that way. ÝCareful what you wish for. ÝWhen Thailand changes things they need to be careful of how and why they change them. ÝAs long as they do not give up the wonderful things that make them Thai to get the werstern so called advances is the way to go. Ý
I don't have the answers. ÝI just know for all of Thailands faults I prefer it to almost all other countries I have been to. ÝI would be curious as to the take of the expats because I can only judge things from the perspectives of my Thai friends who live there and not that of expats. ÝI have never done more than vacation in Thailand but have had Thai friends to guide those trips. ÝPlease enlighten me if you can. ÝI enjoy different perspectives. ÝThey are what make life interesting. Ý
Occassionally I even learn something. ÝI have no doubts that many of the posters on this board have insights I might have missed and although I may not agree with everything said I do respect it. ÝI do not think my way is better than any other. ÝI acknowledge only that it is different. Enjoy life. Accept everything and judge nothing. Ý

Hey Old Timer, I second that emotion...
Nice post Deep Diver....
For me one of the nicest things about LOS is just that "LOS". I have lived in Germany for the last 26 years and although I love Germany and its people, I simply adore Thailand and it's people. The friendlyness and general attitude of the Thai's is incredible....
This was bought home to me when I first invited a TGF to stay with me in Germany for 3 months. After 2-3 days, she asked me, "Why everyone angly me?". I had to explain to her that most Europeans (and in particular Germans) don't go around smiling at everyone... She did not like Germany...
I love LOS.
TC.

Before we go any further I do read the forums and keep an eye on posts but it is hard to get a general view of what is happening overall so:
Are things back to normal post-APEC - specifically
1. Do MPs still not open till 6pm weekdays?
2. Sats and Suns 2pm?
3. Are the boys in brown still nosing round Soi Cowboy and NEP?
4. Is nudity back in SC and NEP gogos?
5. Was the rumour about no booze before 6pm ever true and if it was is it now?
Many thanks -- answers only from people in BKK. Pas sÈrieux s'abstenir svp.
Thanks

Pas sÈrieux s'abstenir svp.
Quand on indique cela, il invite un threadf*ck plus grand.
