Thank you City Hall

Editor;

It had been quite sometime since the Pollution Solution Group replaced the old posters and removed the staples on Pattaya Beach. All of the beach-chair vendors were very happy to see us, as they all wanted the new posters in their place of business.

We want to thank Khun Umnat Chobthum, Chief of the Natural Resource and Environment Promotion Subdivision at Pattaya City Hall; Khun Apichart Puetpan, Deputy Chief Administrator, Pattaya City; and Deputy Mayor Verawat Khakhay.

Without their help many things we do would not be possible. They and others at Pattaya City Hall have been assisting us for many years, along with Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome and too many others to mention.

It has been a priceless honor to serve them and the King.

We wish them all the best for the New Year.

Thank you

Un-walk-able, ugly and dangerous

Dear Editor,

I was walking along Wong Amat Beach on Sunday when I came upon this long pedestrian walk that is broken into a million pieces.

I asked the people around but nobody seemed to know why except that the sand under it may have corroded after being washed by the waves.

It is now not walk-able, ugly and dangerous.

Amazing Thailand.

Stunned and shocked

Dear Editor;

Following the death of Kim Jong Il, I was stunned and shocked watching on television the hysterical scenes of emotion paid by the North Korean population that appear huge and excessive. The dictator is one of the worst and inauspicious in our epoch.

He put North Korean people in a dead end obscurantism depriving the country of the basic supports of democracy and freedom, the pillars of a sacred right for any country and his citizenship.

Kim Jong Il, and before, his father, have reduced North Korean people to a level of zombies, exerting on them undue influence over their insane power on a personality cult.

I liked reading comments of many newspapers around the world. A European editorial named Kim Jong a bloody dictator. “Mors tua vita mea,” said by the ancient Latin people, that is, “your death is my life.”

Let us hope that the death of Mr. Jong is the beginning of a new life for this attractive country with a wake up and full recovery of a lost freedom. Who knows, maybe soon the dream will come true.

Best regards,

Concerned Farang
