Just another day on the roads in Thailand the "Hub of Road deaths"

All of Pattayas sewerage is dumped via large pipes 300mtrs out into the sea untreated (keep your mouth tightly shut if you go swimming there)......60% of Bangkoks sewerage untreated ends up in the Chao Phraya river......hospitals abound in both locations

...and if...just if...they arrived in Bangkok via the BTS...or by large bus...would the driver of the BTS train be summoned?...would the drivers of the buses be summoned?.....I guarrantee some of YL's supporters arrived by their own car.......is the driver of the car (Uncle Somchai from Nakhon Nowhere) going to be summoned....this summoning by the police is so absolutely pathetic and childish.......

More hot air.......nothing will happen........nothing will change......Thailand "Hub of Daily BS"

Myanmar Authorities are lying...!!!

...Add in the poo and god knows what else pouring out into the sea...and then back up onto the beaches..add in the tunnel fiasco.....plus the LB's continuing to rip jewellery from tourist bodies...scams...taxis with no meters.......etc etc......and you have "A World Class Family Entertainment City"

I have found Bic Easy Clic from Lotus to be very good at 110 baht per 4 blades.  Did not like the more expensive 4 blade model.  Previously used Mach 3 and there 5 blade models.

lopburi3 is correct with his post...I have been using the above product for the 8 years I have been in Thailand...8 years ago the packs of blades were 65b...today they 110b...no big deal

The Gillete products seem to be increasing in price weekly...my local Tesco has some packs of 4 Gillete blades at a ridiculous 900b.

The Barbasol foam cans are the way to go also (American import) at Tesco...avoid the Gillete ones..to expensive.

As an alternative shaving cream go to The Body Shop and purchase a pottle of "Macca Root" shaving cream...around 600b ..expensive but will last you a year or more (no BS)...this stuff is a "natural" cream derived from some peruvian plant...and will give you the closest shave imaginable...like a babies bum.

You will need one of those old fashioned shaving brushes to use the Macca Root product 60b and these are  available at Ma and Pa shops...or your local mens hairdresser.

long post......but this is an important "man only" issue...right.....hahaha

Immigration said that airport officials did not provide them with an updated arrival schedule and consequently desks were left unmanned and unable to cope with the influx of passengers.

1. So did anybody at Immigration get off their arse...pickup the phone and call airport officials and ask for the updated arrival schedule?....NO..!

2. Did the immigration boss pickup the phone and tell the off duty immigration officers to quickly get down to DM as we have a problem and large queues (and yes.... you will be paid overtime)....NO..!

3. Did the immigration official blame the bad weather and 3 planes arriving at once as being the problem?....YES..!!

Aaahaa...so it was the damn weather again and the 3 planes were at fault for arriving at the same time...right I got it..now I understand.

Well Koh Larn is falling well behind Koh Samui in the "trash surplus" race......Koh Samui has a 250,000 tonne 3 story mountain of trash....C'mon Koh larn...C'mon...C'mon.......you are currently running 2nd.......somebody's  gotta be first

Yep..he has a role to play...just simply invoke Article 44 on North Korea...and everything will be okay

It was the ships fault......never the person in charge is it.......

............One of the victims said the gang told him that his name appeared as the person who sent a parcel containing drugs from Chiang Rai province to the South. 

“I was told the recipient had already been arrested and I was implicated,” the victim said. “In the midst of confusion, I was persuaded to transfer money to a bank account.

“I did so out of the belief that I would get my money back later. When I could not get it back, I alerted the DSI.” .........

Could get my money back later.....oooh come on.....

No mention of the school that was at fault for employing an unlicensed driver. Blameless unnamed. Not even an apology, let alone a pathetic excuse. Just incredible.

My thoughts also...the school should be named and shamed...and the big question...Are they going to continue to employ unlicenced drivers?

RIP to the little lad...so sad to read...my condolences to the family....six years old...makes you want to cry when you read this sort of thing...

.......but I have to say this.....How the <deleted> hell did the driver not see the lad in the back of the pickup....I mean...How <deleted> big is a pickup backseat....<deleted>...!!!

I think the driver was at some stage of his life was "deprived of oxygen"...brainless moron ...should be charged with manslaughter...and locked in a stinking hot prison cell........

If anyone involved with the scheme just send me $20 and I will pray for you. 

Careful with this one from Chris above...it's a scam...

Better idea is to send me 100b to Pyramid House Post office Box 150m  c/- Post Office  Nakhon Nowhere Stupidville Thailand...and I will tell you all how to get your money back by return mail.

"Around 70 to 80 percent, or around 2,000 pieces, need to be taken care of. We set up this system since 2006 so it needs to be maintained," Kobchai Boonyaorana, deputy director-general of the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, told Reuters, referring to various equipment..."

Prasert Kunneang, public relations officer at the National Disaster Warning Center in Bangkok, said "the tsunami warning system is tested daily and Thailand is prepared in the event of a future tsunami".

"If there is a tsunami tomorrow, the warning system would work," Prasert told Reuters.

So exactly what is the current position??...Kobchai indicates "it needs maintenance"......Prasert says 'it's working and Thailand is prepared if there was a tsunami tomorrow"

Come on lads...get your  facts correct...

They have the "dob in a motorcycle/car on sidewalks" thing running...why not extend it to "dob in a person dumping/throwing trash" from a vehicle......both with a monetary reward to the person providing the details of the "trasher"

There would be good money to be made if the 700 tons recently collected from the  road running parrallel to the Kanchanapisek Expressway is anything to go by....

All that is happening to date is a case of dealing, not very efficiently, with symptoms of the underlying problems. Until they effectively resolve waste and sewage disposal issues any cleanup will be merely cosmetic and temporary.

Sent from my Moto G (4) using Thaivisa Connect mobile app
 

Exactly...all very well for these videos showing the "cosmetic" cleanup....until they STOP pouring raw sewerage/waste water  trash empty bottles, plastics and leftovers from the thousands of food sellers into the ocean......nothing absolutely nothing is going to change.

Good on Sophon Cable for highlighting it......but how long will they continue to do so before the infamous Article 44 is slammed on them "for ruining Thailands reputation"

"Turd-aya".......World class family resort?.....yea right

Warrant, translated into English, they think he is in America,so he moves

to Spain,or any other country where English is not first language,so they

have to start all over again, just issue a Interpol Red notice,if you are really

wanting him to face justice.

regards Worgeordie

My thoughts as well Worgeordie.  And of course Vorayuth is reading all of this...or his Bangkok friends are feeding him the latest from the clowns in Bangkok...and at the same time he is checking his world atlas locating a non-English speaking country with no extradition agreement with Thailand..

Thailand "Hub of Clowns"

So a survey by  American based Bloomberg in 2015 determines what is causing the road deaths in Bangkok and is just released in 2017 2 years later.......!!!

The causes are painfully obvious......any person with half a brain standing on the side of the road in Bangkok could "determine the causes" in 5 minutes.

Why was it necessary to employ a New York based company, who are under investigation by the American Government for massive tax evasion. (Google it)...I digress....

One "cause" not mentioned ( and of course Bloomberg wouldn't mention it would they) is the complete and utter lack of enforcement of existing traffic laws by none other than the RTP.

If they did their job properly the tragic loss of so many lives in Bangkok from road accidents would reduce all on it's own accord.

One puzzling question is why just highlight Bangkok? 

Thailand is second in the world for road accident fatalities per head of population....a figure I believe is mis-reported....I place them first.

Don't...!!....from day 1 you will only own 49%  of the business....with 51% being owned by some Thai person ...where else in the world would you hand over 51% of YOUR business to someone......

Aaaah....finally some "family entertainment" in the "Family Entertainment resort" 

Your ex is full of BS with her threats/accusations....so meet her halfway with some BS of your own........tell her you are not now going to leave Thailand but instead will take a break in (some place) to think things over and call her again in a few days...(all BS of course)......and then get your bum out of the country asap.....as one poster has already mentioned...if  she "plants" drugs in your apartment/clothing then calls the cops you are <deleted> big time.....likewise if she organises a hit on you.......(Yes I know I am commenting over the top here ...but better I say it than not)

You know doubt have been here long enough and read enough news reports to realise what a Thai person is capable of if they have been spurned/crossed/embarrassed/backed into a corner etc etc etc.
