Envisaging anything other than a bursting bank account is beyond the capabilities of most Thai officials.

Blame it on who????
Lets stick with the numbers of visitors to pattaya islands by all nationalities including Thais, and blame accordingly!

No matter whose fault it was, in theory, would the injured guy pay money to the cop who came to the accident and wrote the report, you could be very screwed. ( Of course, did he visit him in the hospital ad the chat might not have been in your favor.)
Don't wait too long, go to the coppers, try to find out what the report looks like, or you could find yourself in a very bad situation. If the guy paid the cops, pay them more. Sorry, if that might sound insane, but there's no right and wrong. Money rules.
My neighbor, a younger teacher was heavily intoxicated when he crashed with a motorbike driver who's also drunk. Both vehicles were brought to the coppers and when the teacher's mom went to them and paid the cop 60 K, the report was changed in a way that the poor guy who's hospitalized and less drunk than her son, was the only guy who was drunk. Mom's dad was a big shot at the same police station a while ago...
He could get his Nissan pick up truck from the station and bring it to a place where they fixed all for zero baht and even resprayed the damn thing, just because he had # 1 insurance. But same insurance wouldn't have paid one baht if he'd been drunk. I felt so sorry for the poor guy in the hospital who had broken bones who was all in a sudden a criminal who'd destroyed a teacher's vehicle being intoxicated.
The offense can easily become a crime when they change the story in a way that you were speeding, did a red light, or anything similar. Be careful out there, it's like a jungle with plenty of poisonous snakes.
I agree with everything you say...... all of which speaks for “get a dashcam”! A dashcam is a particularly good investment for farang drivers here........

Sadly the repetition of these high profile cases that get thrown out on such poor excuses has started to dull my feelings towards Thailand
There comes a point when you go with the flow so to speak or get ripped up in the tide, getting to the point where I dont even follow the stories because the outcomes are so obviously predetermined
Maybe this is the case that restores my faith, odds of this happening?..........

Empty planes will be cheaper on fuel than full planes..........
Maybe Thai should just keep the planes in the hangar, unless VIPs need a study trip. That would save even more..
Soon Thai will be making billions in annual profit.

Unfortunately this also means having to change the whole mindset of a government and ruling elite who, in almost everything they enact for this country, do so for the good of big business and against the interests on the average citizen, in this case the public interest.
I would say that in general, Thai authorities act in their own interest before any other interests. Big business provides the right “arguments” (brown envelopes) to align the authorities’ interests with their own.

I would recommend baan amphur beach... Easy to park, wide beach, gentle slope, quiet, few rocks, (btw, bring a poop scooper, it's also a family friendly beach!)

On this issue, I will guarantee you one thing.
We will keep receiving conflicting and contradictory advice from a wide variety of official Thai sources for ever and a day.
Absurd laws, selectively enforced...... pretty much SOP for Thai authorities

I would suggest Kaeng krachan national park..
about 3 hrs from bkk.
camp at Baan krang or phanoen tung, though you need 4 we to get there, or an old pickup
lots of wildlife

Flip! Flop! Almost seems part of the standard operating procedure here.
Bring out a cunning plan, introduce it with gusto, then decide its not so cunning, and pull the plug.
Another cunning stunt for a day

I think it is highly inappropriate for a Thai to raise a hand against a Chinese Sahib....they come here to bring order and prosperity to the colonies. It smacks of mutiny, I say!!!!

How to motivate Thais to pay the money back?
in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Posted
In my experience, Thais paying back a loan is the exception rather than the rule.
Simply forget about the concept of borrowing......asking to borrow money is a face saving way of asking for a gift, there is really no intention to pay the money back.
