Over 30,000 people going to trial !! That will take years ! No, decades !  And where will they store all the cars !!  250 every day .  Drivers are getting a big wake up call. Maybe they will stop falling asleep at the wheel ! Praise to the police for a change.

A point that has been missed....NEVER  carry a wallet. Guys put it in their back pocket and it stands out like dogs balls !  Ladyboys cant resist !!  Only carry cash in secured pockets. I have told endless people that I have seen with wallets in their back pockets. Easy pickings. 

These people dont celebrate anything. They just go for an all out piss up, shagging and a fight for good measure.  They can keep Phuket as their "Holiday Island in Paradise"  Its a sh*t hole now.

Cant see any people in the back of the pick ups !  Probably got out and walked, it was quicker .

Probably safer for you now you cant ride your bike on the road. Or do you ride on the pavement ?

The truck clearly cut across the lane the car was in, no indicator and obviously didnt look behind.  100% trucks fault.  However, if I was in the car I would not have got so close to the truck. I always give trucks room to move. Here we have big signs on all big trucks " Do not overtake when turning"

They are only just warming up ! Wait for tomorrows figures. Over 93,000 nicked in 1 day ! Thats incredible. I hope the increased number of check points and publicity will make a difference, but I doubt it.

And the caption is ......." Why wont you piss in the bottle ? Nobodies looking"

Somchai said that cameras are very expensive. If he buys one he cant afford to drink !

I like the fact that he stole the taxi right in front of the police !

There is nothing more stupid than riding in the back of a pick up. But because it has been custom and practice in many areas (taking workers to building sites, kids to school and so on) it would be difficult to change behaviours. Easy solution? A little bit of lateral thinking may help here. How about speed restricting picks ups with flat bed passengers to 40km per hour. This would resolve the social issues and introduce a measure of care/safety. Logical thinking really but logic never seems to apply in Thailand.

How can you make a limit of 40 Kph ?  Thais dont know how to drive that slow and if they did there would be massive traffic jams, road rage, resulting in deaths, and when the pick up gets hit up the arse going so slow all the people in the vehicle will be severely injured Dumb idea, but its a start. I have no suggestions cos there will be no positive result. And the PM expects these poor people to vote for him if they ever have an election !!!!

Please dont call them bikers. They are just kids who ride low powered motorcycles very badly and get caught !

"This is our way of life"  But it will soon be your way of DEATH !!  Will PM take responsibility for this U turn that will eventuate in the deaths of many people over Songkhran period ?  Of course not !  Will blame it on everything else he can think of.  In Thailand The Buck Never Stops Here  !

A more sensible law would be that all persons in the pickup tray be seated and max.10 of all ages. Infants under 5 to be carried inside the pickup. Max.speed 80 kph.
No standing whilst the pickup is moving.

And all passengers in the back must wear high quality crash helmets

They recently said that Songkhran celebrations should be subdued and quiet as it is still the period of mourning.  Now TAT want a big parade and see the money potential as more important. How pathetic !

It says that they have already built a submarine service centre but have got no submarines and it looks like they never will

I have never seen it mentioned, but does Thai Navy have any skilled submariners ? So who the hell is going to crew these subs ?  Maybe bring in some foreigners to teach them ? Doubt they will ever go to sea.

Surely they were party leavers, not party goers, if they were headed home!

Very lucky not to be Party Gonners !

Dont forget it was a hire car so the company will want to proceed with charges so the blame is put 100% on the driver so they can claim insurance money without any problems

I suppose it committed suicide after chewing the cables

Sure, there is a ggod thing to clean up the streets, but it´s going a little bit too far.
First it was all the vendors and street markets that was shuffles away to different corners out the cities outskirts.
Now it´s all the beggars that are shuffled away.

 

I don´t say that anyone should need to beg for money to make a living, but in some kind of way all this clean-ups take away a big part of the country´s heart and soul.

So would you like this mob begging near your house ?  Dont forget that the so called beggars on Sukhumwit are run by gangs and lead a terrible existence, children included. They are cases of human trafficking used to make money for the gangs. Dont see that as heart and soul of any country

Dont forget that Vasu Exchange on the corner of Suk Soi 7 is often a bit better than Super Rich

I don't think you can go through the Thai side anymore, I left in Jan and the Thai side is automated, has one assistant to assist the Thai people only

That is correct. Tried to go through last Friday night with wife bit like you say it is only machines, so had to queue for 45 minutes.  From arrival at check in to getting through immigration took about 1 1/2 hours. Thai check in was half closed too.  Had to get in a long queue at the bottom of the escalators.   Pathetic !!

I haven't dived in Phuket for years cos its crap ! Nothing worth seeing. I hope they all get closed down and the sea and sealife has a chance to recover. Ban the fishing boats too.  They wont do that though, will they ? Cant milk them for more money.
