Red Motorcade
![]() A few hundert Red Shirts on motorcycles and cars got applauded by onlookers during their parade on Pattaya's South Road.
![]() The Red Shirts run People Radio stations nationwide and People Television, a cabel TV channel.
![]() Traffic Police escorted the peaceful demonstration.
Wrong Movie
With Police and Military posing at almost every corner of Bangkok (and Pattaya too), visitors get the impression to sit in the wrong movie.
It seems that the much praised Land of the free is a farce.
Thai Citizen against Bangkok's Elite
The red shirts rally would officially begin at noon on Sunday, March 14th, when leaders of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) would read out a statement demanding the government of the aristocratic elite to dissolve the House of Representatives and hold a general election.
Acting Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said tough action will be taken against law breakers during the red-shirt protests.
Starting Wednesday night, a total of 50'000 soldiers, police, civilians and volunters had been deployed for peace-keeping operations. They include 30'000 troops.
Only a few companies of special forces, on special missions, were armed, Mr Suthep said.
A so called peace-keeping centre is located in a safe place inside the compound of the 11th Infantry Regiment. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban will stay there during the rally, Mr Suthep added.
Army commander-in-chief Gen Anupong Paojinda reaffirmed on Thursday that he, navy chief Adm Kamthorn Phumhiran, air force chief ACM Itthaporn Supphawong and all their subordinates will not stage a military coup.
Thai Military back in Power
The Thai government has announced that it will invoke the Internal Security Act (ISA) from 11-23 March 2010, in Bangkok and seven surrounding provinces.
The ISA puts the military in charge, with powers to impose curfews, restrict numbers at gatherings and man check points if they deem such measures necessary.
The Thai army is now in charge to keep Abhisit Vejjajiva's unpopular government in power.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva already cancelled a planned trip to Australia.
I have never thought about giving up. I have to do my duty and take care of the country, Thailand's Prime Minister said on March 10th.
I will not hold on to power. If the House dissolution or my departure will make things better, I have no problem at all, Mr Abhisit stated on March 11th.

A source close to Tony's told me, with the new attraction Tony's likes to show the world how much nicer Thai girls are... Elegant Doggy

Thai law...
![]() According to the new law, discos have to close at 03:00, but Thailand's intelligent lawmakers forgot(?) to regulate the opening time.

Silly Alliances
If I am booking my flight with Thai International I want to travel in a plane and with the service provided by Thai International and not being pushed into an aircraft from Swiss, Qatar or Lufthansa.
It is like booking holidays in Thailand - but waking up in Russia.
I hate this worldwide carrier alliances.

http://www.pattayamusicfest.com/ (Slow, thanks to Adobe Flash Mania!) Clean Up!
![]() After the recent clean-up at Pattaya's Police Stations and the removal of some of the corrupt chiefs it should be possible to remove Pattaya's most stupid traffic regulations too. The photo shows that almost everybody is ignoring the 'odd and even dates' parking regulation on Pattaya South Road.
The Game is Over
![]() Sapphire Club replaces Soi 15's Gamebird 2, once an Irish Pub.
Copycat Raids
![]() On March 9th 2010 Police raided Soi Buakhaow Market for copycat products - they confiscated all illegal copies of Thai music and Thai video CDs & DVDs.
![]() The lovely Police didn't touch any products violating international copyrights. Apparently Pattaya Police is protecting Thai brandnames & products only...
Update: Police informs that in the ongoing crackdown on counterfeit designer name products, Chonburi Provincial Police organised another inspection of shops along Beach Road on March 10th. They arrested two women for selling fake Adidas and Puma designer shoes as well as another woman selling fake designer clothings.
Apparently Police missed to pay a visit to 2 well-known Shopping Centers on Pattaya's Beach Road usually full of fake designer goods. Both shops belong to a honorable member of Pattaya's High Society. It seems Police catch the small dealers only and let the big ones do their business...

Walking Street on the way to a Dancing Street
![]() On the second floor of Champion A Go-Go and the Ring The Bell Bar was once a Karaoke Bar called Maya Club. During the last few month we heard a lot of speculation about the future of the venue.
During the last few weeks a billboard announced that Powers Club is looking for dancers, coyotes and show girls. Showgirls can earn up to 15'000 Baht/month, dancers and coyotes up to 10'000 Baht (+ incidental earnings), the billboard said.
![]() Contrary to its announcements, Powers Club A Go-Go wasn't ready to open on March 9th 2010, you have to wait a few days more until you can climb its stairs...
Goodfellas Coyote

![]() Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln for 119 Baht only!
![]() This unnamed and inconspicuous restaurant is on Naklua Road, about 150 meters in front of the turn-off to Soi Phothisan (or Photisarn).
A nice Thai lady runs the kitchen. She likes preparing delicious German food and is happy if you appreciate her cooking! iFarang™
Development Aid
If you understand the mechanisms of development aid it is an easy task to redirect the millions into your own pocket.
Development aid is made to enrich politicians and not to help the neediest.

Resolve the European Union before its politicians waste your last cent.
They financed all that unfinishid 'projects' all over Greece, Portugal and all the other 'underdeveloped' European countries.
These people are responsible for todays problems. Stop their behaviour as soon as possible.
