Bangkok ranked 2nd best city worldwide, best in Asia for digital nomads
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
When it comes to ranking government will use it to their advantage what they don't like sweep it under the rock that is the solution to fix it. When I see all the wires hanging I'm concluded long time ago service would be good???? These rankings are done by a guy who came for a few days got comp at the best hotel, dined at the top places and provided the best pussy Bangkok has to offer bonus a bag of goodies???? -
People push or freedom of choice but now they have it seem to denied others like to criticize those who choose to continue wearing. I'm not Thai but glad they are starting to make decision to live with it that being said I believe regardless of vaccination covid is still present doing the simple thing like wearing a mask, using alcohol and watching my hands have kept me and my family safe covid free I and family have decided we all will continue the same protocol. I'm headed to the States in two weeks I plan to wear the mask throughout my journey until I feel and decide it isn't necessary.

My comment had no reference to your post but it was made based on the original story! I didn't quote or single you out! Personally I don't feel the need to bring up the race " Chinese " as the guy is dead. Thai news like to do this in my opinion the execution is a common practice with many Thais and take the focus off as if it doesn't happen! To me this is the same if there is an accident by a foreigner itakes National Front page. Maybe it was a Thai Chinese????

Dangerous and selfish trucks
thailand49 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Road congestion or not you keep your distant rule of thumb enough that you can see the vehicle in front their rear wheels. As a commercial trained driver these trucks are normally used to haul dirt but the rear mat attached taking a guess if the truck bed loaded dirt can fall below the bed and kick back up to the rear vehicles if you are following close enough? But usually your standard mug flaps would take care of that problem unless you follow too close reason back off unless you want your windshield cracked? Like logic here it escape me with things at times but shouldn't be of any surprise there are double deckers buses modified right out of the factory that they aren't balances when going around corners as noted no enforcement so in time people do what they want many times we just say to our self? -
Just like the Darkside, of course there is another mayor on that side! Nothing really has changed sure they cut a lot of dead wires but at the same time many were roll up and hung on the poles as it this was the location to store their stock. Take a look at Nernpludwan, there are more roll up wires hanging at the poles than before. There is like a handful of operators yet there are thousands of wires!

True but let me stir the pot a bit, what you say in regards to reaction time is correct but one has to think in general 17 you are dump and full of cum age provide us with a bit of wisdom even common sense to not go as fast more cautious to reaction time. The six death I've seen weren't by hanging wires, not because of youth and quick reaction time to see and avoid but due to stupidity thinking their youth and belief they were invincible????? Him being a foreigner I could take a real good guess the hospital he is at. When you get to that age it is about making you feel all fuzzy and safe inside they will run expensive test like test just to milk the <deleted> out of you. At that age it is always run test on your head? Years ago I slipped at home wet floor crack my head opened my son took me to the hospital clean the wound 10 staples ready to go home then head guy came in realized I wasn't Thai now I should be kept over night for observation although wound was closed suggested open it back up so he can make sure again. ????.

This seem a common thing with the RTP, I remember talking to a captain at Na Jomtien in regards to s friends accident which the other party made a written admission but yet in a later meeting they wanted my friend to pay the party 200,000 out of goodness of his insurance agent he said They would pay 100,000 the other 100,000 he has to foot himself. The captian said you would feel better about yourself I smile and joke I would feel better if I could slap you across your face. Told him next meeting before we come will come with lawyers never heard again.

Thailand is in fact the medical hub of the world? So is their science they have found sound the alarm call out fire in a Crowd then retract we got it under control. Certainly any virus is no match for Thailand, I wonder where is all the wonder drug and vaccine they announced last year. Whatever happen to the AZ being produce here? The copies of Pfizer And Moderna?

I've been with UPS, have a number of family and friends with FedEx which patent after both really well run companies no nonsense strict! DHL, I know is from Europe (Germany?) old well known company known mainly for International how well run I'm not sure in the States they seem to be known for their documentation service. I was once associate with a company trying to grow into the U. S. Market against UPS, FedEx called Airborne Express in the early 90's it was a temporary stop paid well with benefits during the Dot Com so it's growth was fast and easy I pretty much dump majority in the company stock. It didn't take long to realize the inmates were running the show I might have been the only guy who wasn't stealing from the company.. I felt it time I cashed in all my stock and took a vacation. A year or two later DHL wanted to into the U. S. market quickly to compete they purchased Airborne spent a ton to advertised in the 2012.Olympics. I don't think thereafter it was more than two years they folded the yellow tent and went back to their old business plan. The purchased of airborne might give you a clue? When it comes to International very few fly their own aircraft that include UPS, FEdEx, USthey contract to many commercial airlines so the process of tracking is very important then you have the individual countries and their setup of course training. When writing I remember the company I had problems it was TNT, now from my experience I check my mutual funds to make sure I wasn't invested in them????

First, regardless of what you have done in the past I would educate yourself as to the regulation to confirm you are correct. Several years ago I order some sports equipment particularly two dozen balls. I get a call one day then a confirming email that I needed to fill out forms that they needed my passport and they would pick it up, when the driver came said copy is OK, day later I get a call why you give us a copy? In the conversation she said you can come to our office Sirichai said it was on Sukhumvit I cruise down back and forth called back no office is at airport. In the end I turn the whole thing over to my son they thought based on the number of balls felt I was a import exporter, office wasn't theirs but Thai customs, the shipping person could speak English but barely could read or understand the difference between original and copy. After a month still around and around shipper sent me a new shipment using another shipper. Ask for a manager start thereafter!? Good luck.

I know this organization well they are correct with their assessment. Many moons ago my brother was able to obtain a pure breed his intent was as noted not the best not even a year old he was over a hundred lbs I was told not even a pit stood a chance. One day my nephew ( special needs) and I went to his shop to pay a visit prior there wasn't a dog he ever met that didn't like him. Pulling up the driveway he heard the vehicle he came from under his huge Subbuban Chevy truck 4x4 chained up on his iron bumper it was scary the truck if the brake weren't on I firmly believe he could move it. My nephew just shook his head and said " that dog is nuts ". A few months later the <deleted> hits the fan I was called by the police my brother was arrested on a separate matter and the dog was in the pound my brother ask if I would take him I was the only one who he has ever been in contact. I don't need to tell anyone the answer I gave him. I contacted the organization they went and got the dog in the end one of their trainers wanted see if he can be salvage a few month later I contacted the organization as what happen he was too far gone to be a pet the military took him. ????

Here is my take before I start yes it happens everywhere but in different degree? Since responding is basically in Thailand here Is the difference in degree in general you can't do much about it If anything In Thailand but complain like we are doing the minority say we are bashing Thais But we are just venting because we can't do much about it. I can't speak for Australia but from talking to others from the West you have more say or to do something about it. Although I'm Big supporter of private Unions I'm not with public ones Because of what the ops had posted in his experience in general I too use the phrase jokingly those who work for the government can't Hang in the real world. Politican justification they must pay more than the private sector to get the best and brightest has failed. I've seen and read a number of public union contracts particularly transportation come away shaking my head. In the West, you do have a say an avenue If you have the will there is a way unfortunately I've brought action against a number of agency in my City you dig long and hard sooner or later you will find a smoking gun. Without listing the big stuff here is one small one. I drove a commercial vehicle at one time I basically a route in one location there was a YMCA, so during lunch I had to find a commercial location for an hour there was one in front one day as I park a police vehicle pulled up as I finished parking I walked in with my gym bag to check in started to get lip from the police after a half hour of jawing I left without him knowing I got his badge number and vehicle number. I found out from the clerk YMCA later on my deliveries the police was there on his own personal business that his base was across town I went down to file a complaint to the police commission after the hearing it didn't go well for him. That is the difference you do have recourse not here in Thailand for example unless you are Thai.

I'm starting to see more and more Pit bulls the last few years, when I do I always noticed the dog pulling doing the leading in what suppose to be the owner walking them. To be honest, if this ever happen to anyone in my family and it is a pit bull owner there will be no forgiveness no amount of money is going to buy me off nor an apologies. The dog will have a big hole in his head so will the owners after I put them through some suffering. And I fully understand it isn't the fault of the dog but its owner but I'm not going to pet the sucker and tell him o.k. you made a mistake don't do it again. Whether people like it or not it needs to be put asleep those who don't feel free to adopt it. As for the bending down it stops them in their tracks it would mean one has to stay in that position at what point does one know it is safe? Dogs bark get nervous when they sense fear? For years I've cycle here in Thailand use to do a annual ride on my own middle of the night from Pattaya to Bangkok I never felt threaten by vehicles or trucks but got chased by lots of dogs on my ride but I never panic I just keep a pace and after a certain location they would stop same whenever I go out jogging carrying a sharp metal bar. Last two years and as recently as two months ago I was bitten now I just go to the park in a secure area there are more and more it seems no longer wanting to take a chance you got to protect yourself the government leaders in each province or district aren't.

They don't even teach or lets be fair touch on investing in High School now what makes a person think it would be taught in school here outside of a Business college? Plus majority are so poor they can even purchased toilet tissue why would they know what a share of stock might be? ????

Kidding, does a Thai need a calculator? For years each night I flip the channel to Bloomberg to check the futures! For years although I did my best to explain to her she doesn't really get it neither does my daugther in law who suppose to have a master in accounting. Just the other day her mother was visiting saw me standing in front of the T.V. asked what was I looking at? I joking said this is your future what you see in Green is what you might get and same with if it is in Red! ????
