  1. Wasn’t fire associated with the caveman? He has a point…it is not an advanced culture as it is stuck in its traditional ways and preservation of status quo….There is no will to change and that has been the status for the 20 years I have been here
  2. Maybe assisted suicide - now allowed in some states… not every pathetic soul can be saved…pretty damn young to call it quits…
  3. But the driver doesn’t use an inhaler… does dozing off and reaching for an object mimic the same behavior? will the screamers be charged? I bet the driver didn’t get a tip… How did the company get them to their destination and return? Sounds costly for the van company or it should be… why in the hell bring Jesus into it….have some decency
  4. He probably rode around the barrier his whole life…it finally caught up to him…. poor driving behavior is normal here as there is no enforcement/punishment
  5. Please no more fumes…the air is bad enough
  6. 100% agree….air pollution is an absolute not a relative comparison…to say it’s better than 20 years ago speaks of incredible ignorance…150 200 250 are truly unacceptable numbers…anything over 50 on a regular basis should mean red flags all over the place
  7. Traffic is not a consequence of crowds/holiday influx …traffic is caused by lack of surface streets (poor urban management) given the # of vehicles for that area… Traffic is an issue in any Thai city of size
  8. I was told it’s a Peruvian nut…
  9. Forget the opinion follow the evidence… I would put a tail on the wife…the guilty ones aren’t too bright and if her brother (hint hint) is involved, a Thai man will soon be around to provide that shoulder to cry on
  10. My guess it’s an inside job…what is sad here is banks don’t guarantee amount levels when errors mistakes corruption or fraud occurs dangerous to have more than a few bucks in Thai banks
  11. He wasn’t trying to steal it…he wanted to test drive it first b/f renting it was an all understanding
  12. He is in complete denial, liar about numbers and want to see his interview surveys that he is not doing… a bad experience is told to 10 friends…once these blind Asian golf packages end in March, the numbers will drop significantly thailand has had 2 days since the first of the year under 50….most over 100 and recently over 150 meaning last 2 weeks if he was educated on facts, WHO recommends under 25….thailand own artificial number (not based on science) but on marketing is under 50 which CM doesn’t meet 95% of the time between Feb and May lsst year was an aberration…why? Because it rained a lot during this time frame… The current gov policy is to rely on rain to clear the air…just pathetic
  13. I know of two cases in CM where the foreigner won court cases of deception… the key was having a proper documentation trail…
  14. The whole driving system is a joke here - DMV, training and education enforcement punishment and now driving instructors… and road carnage continues…
  15. Stupid idea to allow strangers involved when cash is not secured… cash and carry society here lives on…
  16. How does he gets access to the children and the getting the children to do behavior? there must be scouts with boots on the ground? His Thai is that good if manipulating directly? Or is he selling images that he bought from middle men? can’t imagine he doesn’t have extensive Thai connections or access to networks?
  17. The only solution to CM’s air pollution is rain…after the rare of 2 consecutive nights, the AP has returned with vengeance after 4 days of under 100… my advice to CM tourists is ONLY come between June and December…even Dec is starting to become AP the other 5 months are an embarrassment
  18. Thailand is still a paper and pencil culture…drive thru window much easier
  19. Enjoying the air? It’s hitting 300 ppm today….challenging for worst in the world and you live there… at least you don’t die of old age…COD will be clear or should say smokey…
  20. Darwinism at work… people say Thais regret their actions later….if that is the case then why do these same events continue to happen every day? there is no lessons learned nor action plans developed to prevent these bad driving behaviors… waiting for the next mini van or bus crash where 8-20 more victims die… gov and community groups are either incompetent or just too lazy to properly resolve these issues b/c 1. Costs 2. Try to change human behavior in the Thai culture is virtually impossible b/c of an attitude and a lack of willingness to change and 3. Just don’t care about safety
  21. Very clear - your 90 days report was January 29th… it has nothing to do with when you apply or get a visa… after 90 days regardless of whatever your visa status, you are physically still in the country after 90 days then you must report… pay the fine for not paying attention to detail…
  22. For people who want to travel, hard to believe they can’t get vaccines in their own country… most travelers prefer to be vaccinated prior to traveling and do what is necessary to get vaccinated b/f traveling… I don’t see a huge demand for it…China?
  23. The problems are cognitive (learning/obeying rules) and attitude (aggressive and selfish)
