Report Thai Police Launch Helmet Crackdown to Boost Road Safety
cardinalblue replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So the whole crackdown is nothing but raising the fine from 500 to 2000 baht? what have they doing the last 20 years? Thailand is still at the top for motorcycle deaths and injuries in the world every year there is no comprehensive program involving early education and training in school or part of DMV efforts or community outreach programs their whole program is to raise the penalty to the equivalent of starting fires…and we know how ineffective that has been the rains will clean up the air pollution but will have the opposite effect of riding in the rain and wet/flooded streets -

So the owner has 5k baht to clean up the mess…if no damage just collecting trash and cleaning the rental….that cost is way less than half the deposit so the owner actually made a few baht should have collected the extension monies in advance forcing the renters to clean the place if they wanted their deposit back (which is always at the iffy/mercy of the owner)

cardinalblue replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
The point is the poster is correct...You invite theft though obviously the thieves have had no idea bike values... Where i come from which is the bike capital of America, only 10% of bikes are recovered...Very sophisticated pro bike thieves at work...Not stupid enough to do what happened here -

not smart to lock such an expensive bike outside and at night... Not smart to list on FB asap -
I am not going to quibble. Living in Thailand is 1/5 of the cost of living in the USA. The US does adjust for COLA regardless of overseas living so we are lucky. I do understand why countries don't give adjustments. We are talking big money savings to those countries given it is so much cheaper to live overseas...

Pretty sure the child can’t leave thailand on an expired thai passport but can come back if the passport expired when the child was gone… I just got my 14 year old child her new thai passport and they wanted to see my passport and my wife’s thai ID/passport and we both had to sign a screen document what I don’t know is what you have to do if one or both parents are not present with necessary documents… must be a way given that parents divorce die or out of province/country good news is they delivered it by post within one week to home address at least in Chiang Mai
