» Re: "Senate shoots down casino bill", (BP, Sept 24). I note that in your article, Senator Vichaya Suwannaprom cites Sydney, Australia, and its casino access policies as a potential model for Thailand. As an avid reader currently residing in Sydney, I would be remiss if I did not make the following observations about our two casinos.
Which rules count?

Born to love noise

» Daniel Reid in his June 3 letter, "Kill noise monsters", is right. There is a department to deal with noise pollution. I found this office at the Bangkok City Hall about 15 or so years ago, tucked away in a corner, staffed by 10 people, all who were playing computer games when I walked in. I was there to file a noise complaint. None of the staff knew where to find the complaint forms to fill in. When a form was eventually produced, there was little enthusiasm for anyone to listen or help out. I finally went outside to find "someone in authority" to light a fire under these people. At least I got the ball rolling after a few hours that should have taken a few minutes.

» I heard some Thai youth were due to protest older people's inaction in this country on global warming yesterday in Bangkok. Given the horrors that await them if little or nothing is done by our leaders, I hope they are successful in getting some action from people who seem totally oblivious to the problem, or are too old or inflexible to care.
