Round up the dogs
Dear Sir.
I thought City Hall would have taken action on the amount of dogs running
the streets, after the 3 year old was killed by 2 dogs. Do we wait for it to
happen again before action is taken? Don’t round them up in the middle of
the day as they are Thai dogs and they sleep then. They are a menace, so
please clean the place up. Where I am there is at least 30 dogs; by the time
I finish this letter there could be another 10 pups. We don’t want to change
the name of Jomtien to “Dog City”, do we?
Yours Sincerely,
Jock Tnuck
Ban rogue jet ski operators
Editor;
Your article about the latest attempt by City Hall to reign in the rogue
jet-ski scammers has left me even more convinced than ever that City Hall
has no serious desire to actually do anything about them ripping off
tourists.
City Hall are mooting insurance to cover 2,000B damage to the jet-ski,
victims of accidents would not be covered for injury or death. Hello! Is it
just me missing something here, or is it City Hall? It’s pretty obvious by
now that there is not a hope of anything actually being done!
Simple solution, employ inspectors and fine and ban any rogue operators -
problem solved. (Ed’s note: for what it’s worth, that’s exactly what City
Hall has started to do this past week. See page 3.)

Who’s kidding who?

Re: Councilman lobbies for Jomtien Beach erosion funds (PM Friday, 21
September 2012).
In the 10 or more years I have been coming to Jomtien, that stretch of beach
between Soi Chaiyapruek and Lung Sawai has never had much sand - indeed,
it’s better now than years ago and I remember when half the road was washed
away for a year or two! Who is kidding who about restoring the beach that
never was?

Enforce traffic laws
Editor;
Ref: to Thailand’s ambitious plans to increase tourism. With street crime,
natural disasters again, political insecurity, jet ski scams, and the crazy
driving here, it’s about time the government police got a grip. (Start with)
some zero tolerance on these problems instead of turning a blind eye or
(giving out) spot fines of 200 baht and letting them drive away again with
no license. What a joke. They drive on the pavement, on the wrong side of
the roads, and who’s in the wrong? Yes, you, because you are on the correct
side of the road or walking on the pavement.
Then you see the parents with their children perched at the front of the
motorcycle with no safety hats, etc., and oblivious to any other road users
or traffic lights. Will these children grow up to see their teens? I think a
very few will until the law is enforced.
If they can’t drive within the law, take the vehicle away from them. Stop
playing at law enforcement and get a grip so it will be safer on the roads
and pavements for the tourists and the locals.
PS - I am British and I spend nine months at the time here, and I’m still
very nervous about driving and crossing the roads.

1000 Questions
Who can perceive self
in front of a mirror
exploring your anima?
Who can perceive our fate
as life is about beyond
expectations?
There’s no ambassador from God
or His emissary to our destiny.
Otherwise we trespass the divine field,
flaunting what lay to our fate.
But we come moving of nothingness
and we move on with patience,
challenging the game of fortuity.
Praise ourselves we move on
and survive everyday.
And exploring thoroughly
the chances to live, with
one thousand questions
to our destiny
