Five Phuket Boat Drivers Test Positive for Illegal Drugs
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Are these boat drivers really any different than taxi drivers? All are at the wrong end of the educational spectrum… -
Thailand is still a paper and pencil culture unable or unwilling to take the jump to our high tech world… total lack of trust in people and unfamiliar systems so gravitate to the lowest level of a system possible - paper and black pen

British tourist’s lost wallet returned by Thai hotel worker
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Still baffles me why people carry/need mounds of cash on them…first of all how do you get 30k cash into a wallet… never should have more than 3k baht in your possession as a general rule and definitely not walking aimlessly on a beach, a hike, in congested tourist areas ripe with thieves and low lives stupidity and humans are interchangeable -
Road safety appeal amid surge of New Year holidaymakers in Thailand
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand is forcing two separate systems of driving (cars and cycles) to share one road - it doesn’t work -
Zebra crossings are for show only…drivers are not taught to respect them God forbid that proper signals co exist with painted crossings and are operational and complied with by drivers it’s all about not wanting to spend/invest in the pedestrian infrastructure vs losing a few folks here and there life is cheap in Asia is reinforced every day on Thai roads

Thai woman arrested for selling her masturbation videos online

Did she dominate the screen? -
Thais and Thai culture don’t handle any form of criticism… the objective is not to get to the truth but to protect the person and their image from guilt or wrong behavior quite sad reflection on the culture and why things never improve or strive to get better…there is no will or mindset individually or collectively to correct/punish bad behavior… Basket of fruit or a wai wipes away in some cases despicable behavior…

Are farangs inadvertently colonizing Thailand?
cardinalblue replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You live in a very small part of thailand only residing/visiting in expat communities… why don’t you randomly select some rural village in NE thailand and see how you fare on isaan food only or some northern town not named CM surviving on white rice and low grade chicken/pork? time to release the bubble wrap… -
5 year old girl killed in accident between electric tricycle and pickup
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Is the air pollution that bad for the EMTs to be wearing masks? I compare it to driving with parking lights at dusk…use your headlights to project since one is moving forward…otherwise, it looks foolish -
Hi..Can a foreigner call for an ambulance in Chiang Mai…??
cardinalblue replied to mikey88's topic in Chiang Mai
Calling 1669 gets you to the nearest hospital but can you request a private hospital of your choice in route? -
Why the tigers currently in gov care and these future ones aren’t sold off to either zoos or animal rescue/conservation venues globally? Thailand can’t even get proper road/traffic infrastructure sufficiently to minimize road fatalities/injuries, why does one think there is money available to correctly take care of these big cats…. rather than seeking what’s best for the cats, thailand is trying to hide/ protect their image of how badly it manages wildlife so the world doesn’t know the truth… swallow your pride and fragile ego and let competent organizations/other countries participate in re-locating these animals away from thailand/SE Asia

I think people hate golfers’ attitude more than golf…

PM2.5 dust surge: Bangkok on alert, schools may halt activities
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
It’s an uneducated population and even worse a public health dept running the show the proper and only effective PPE is a N-95 or higher… yet, all you see is hospital masks and cloth handkerchiefs that provide no protection vs these air particles
