Dangerous dogs

Editor;
KOTO advocates humans to walk elsewhere from where dogs may be in a dangerous mood. Gary, a neighbor’s dog mauled the woman and tore up her face. Should she leave her house? This is unacceptable. The Bible does say that “man has dominion over the animals” and should protect them and remove those who would kill a baby or in this case, permanently scar the woman. This same dog bit my neighbor across the street (Soi 10) and he had to undergo shots.

Dengue Fever here?

Editor;
Dengue Fever here? Who is responsible for this area Nongprue Municipality? Fah Mi Aad Kan Village just off Siam Country Club Road Soi 13.
What you see isn’t from the recent rain. This is what this soi has looked like for several months now. It started with drain pipe after drain pipe breaking; approximately 9 times. They try but without success so they just let it sit. The system in this area near this soi is falling apart. It’s flooded with water, and the area seem to be a war zone with everything breaking including the road they just paved. The drain pipe they also replace was 5 times smaller than the original so even when there isn’t a broken pipe the water can’t drain from the heavy rain fast enough so the water just sits for days. The road will soon collapse from the weight of the water. When the rain stops the weather gets hotter. I believe this area is a breeding ground for Dengue Fever?
Who is responsible and when will it be fixed?

Disappointed

Editor;
I know this is Thailand and things are different here but I was disappointed when I read your paper yesterday. I am talking about the short story about repainting the lines on Third road. I guess the excuse for the person who wrote that story is that he just wrote what this Mr. Pinyasinee was telling him but I still found the story to be racist. Saying he thought that “Thai” drivers would respect the lines ... My feeling is that Thai drivers are amongst the worst I have ever met and I have been to 45 countries so far. Pattaya is also worse than Bangkok when it comes to traffic. I got angry when reading that story and just wanted to let you know that it will be the last time I buy your paper.

Ed’s reply: Sorry you feel this way, Nikko, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what you’re talking about. The whole point of the story was that the “Thai” drivers (as well as all other drivers) were not obeying the rules of the intersection, and maybe by repainting the lines they would start doing so. If you decide not to buy the paper again, that is of course your right. But one would hope that if this is your decision, you’d make it based on something with a little more substance than a non-existent slight to foreigners that you are wrongly calling racist.
