  1. a/ Exploitation is wrong in any form. b/Promiscuity is rife among Thai youth and aided/encouraged by social media and an assortment of apps such as Line.
  2. Undertaking, overtaking. turning and even trying to drive in a straight line safely are manoeuvres beyond many on these roads.
  3. But all international "tourists" arriving will at some point be departing. That's how it works in tourism !
  4. OK, so call it an "arrival" fee but payable on departure. Then Thai citizens/passport holders and other exempt classes of visa holders won't need to pay. Ticket machines in the Dep hall . All tourists will either still have bt300 on them or access to exchange booths. Perhaps the Chinese hordes could buy them at 7-11 along with their cup noodles ?
  5. However, this fee is not applicable to Thai nationals, so how will ticket sales/prices be administered ?

  7. Better hope the beast doesn't go " rogue".
  8. Fail to see how this will "reduce road accidents".
  9. Yep, don't need/use the card but you'll still get charged an annual fee if you don't cancel it.????
  10. On the plus side. there are far worse places to end up than Petchabun, which is actually quite pleasant !
  11. Far less serious. but all this bull. denial. lies. missing evidence etc bears a strong resemblance to events regarding certain "investigations" on Koh Tao and appears to be the normal operating procedures.
  12. None of the 200 surveyed had experienced the thrill of a minibus ride then.
  13. Social Media is currently the instrument of choice. there being little alternative.
  14. Tell friend to find a bargirl with an ATM card and get her to "launder" it for you for 100 bt commission.
  15. Read the link, people. and many of the questions posed here will be answered for you ????
  16. Especially in parts where you find weed growing freely and kratom tea being sold by the roadside !????
  17. Only it's not sleeping is it! Perhaps they will go bearing gifts ?
  18. They concluded it was "meat eating" due to the numerous KFC wrappers discarded nearby,
  19. Exactly the same experience twice at the toll. A scam involving showing you your no plate written on their pad with explanation that it had been phoned in from a unit somewhere for some road offence. Also "pay bt2000 or go to the station". Stood my ground and was screamed at "this Thailand, I Thai police". Eventually got away with bt200 a a very nasty taste in my mouth. Happened again a month later. tried the same story, but backed down when they realized my Thai missus was in the car. I guess most unsuspecting tourists would be intimated enough to pay up. Easy pickings. I think maybe they chose me as I had Krabi plates on the vehicle .
  20. Coming from parallel to the tracks before abruptly turning left onto them, doubt that he could have seen anything anyway ! Perhaps he ignored a No Entry/Left Turn sign there, as the traffic has not stopped on that road. Crazy that there appears to be no barrier either !
  21. If looking to drive at the speeds attributable to the model, then I would suggest any roads that incorporate u-turns ! As much as I'd love to own one, couldn't imagine a poodle down Soi Buakhao being to relaxing. Wouldn't be too keen on parking in Lotus's' either! ????
  22. Indeed so, as have just received a letter from them to affirm my tax status. The account already being open and active.
