Saying he was arrested b/f being deported? What a stupid sentence How else would he be deported? A magical carpet ride?

Usually people turn blue/ purple but green is new to me… I guess nursery school is cheaper than proper day care…but under two strikes me as too young being in a school environment where who know how many in a class situation?

Pit Bulls have nothing on the mafia on ear removal…

Do you wear a helmet?

Who cares if ‘20 or ‘21…that is up to the buyer to know what he is buying…what the buyer doesn’t know if it is a lemon… the lemon laws should kick in…

Why test immigration? You are at their mercy…get it done this week or make your plans for the border using up all your remaining passport pages

What’s next? A little Switzerland in the mountains? that’s rhetorical question…Thailand has such an inferiority complex so nothing can stand on its own…

Sorry but emergency road personnel within a me driving first thai culture is a Laurel and Hardy comedy hour… the blame is 100% thai DMV and enforcement

Should have been handled quickly and properly at the time of the incident by the local police… obviously it was not if higher ups are involved… Define attack and results…hospitalized? Injuries? Personal feelings hurt? too much missing in this story

A huge cultural problem…safety is not a priority at any level for thailand….it’s viewed as a cost with no consideration of benefits… life is cheap here and continues to be…

I wonder how many cyclists compare to motorcyclists on the mountain? 1/10, 1/100th something in between? Low hanging fruit basically, it’s will kill the recreational cyclist market who are doing day or overnight trips on the Mtn…people are not going to pay extra or inconvenience friends for sag wagons…I can’t imagine a heavy cyclist volume to start with? trying to give the image of safety or make up for the 29 preventable deaths on an I’ll-prepared ship? if the roads are going to be slick or wet, maybe require a PFD on the uphill portion and generate a vendor market at the bottom? 500B to rent? I don’t think thailand has any law requires cyclists to mandatory wear bike helmets? Wouldn’t that be more practical and let the decision- making up to the rider?

Why in the photo inside a room are they wearing PFDs? The horse is already out of the barn they are not following what their admiral said “with or without PFDs, they don’t impact the rate of survival” That quite alone pretty much sums up the cultural attitude of why safety is not a priority nor important in planning, preparation or operations…. they get exactly what they should deserve/consequences whether on roads, waterways, train crossings or nightclubs/buildings/construction sites…. safety is a strictly a cost and we ain’t going to invest in it…we will go with fate as it reinforces the old slogan of “life is cheap in Asia”.

The officer killed is not young… “the dead officer was on his way back to the station….” That is quite an accomplishment

Was it deployed that first night of the sinking?

What happens if the 2nd sub gets in the trouble? Will the army be on standby? I wonder if Thai navy ships have safety officers?

Where was the Thai coast guard?

He hasn’t done time yet…maybe they should waterboard him on his way out if the country? What a horrific crime…maybe he was stoned too and forgot?

Ridiculous - emergency rescue in nature is all about timing…hours not days Mai bpen rai attitude overshadows a sense of real urgency… it’s no longer a rescue but a recovery mission…3 nights in the water vs say had they put the rafts in the water b/f sinking to give them/anyone a chance standby for what? All about image…

ill-fated vessel or ill-fated management? Never accept personal responsibility.. And the life rafts were not launched….hard to believe they had proper emergency drills and practice…instead, the crew goes down with the ship…I wonder if the captain was last to depart? Lived here long enough to know this is par for the course…

Maybe they were practicing how they wear helmets as it carries over from every day life… Life rafts and vests do add extra weight if speed is a criteria…safety first signs only apply to construction sites here… Maybe time to rethink priorities…

That hitchhiker is kind of on the heavy side with short legs

So the villagers said it was normal for this guy to scream ( mental health issues) so let’s not investigate or follow up what’s the definition of crying wolf?

Pure negligence w/o accountability - so the clown show continues

Any visa change status requires a report to the TM 30 office

Add proper sanitary landfills to POTWs and thailand might transition from third world to developing world… has not happened yet….
