I find it incredible that people do not watch out for themselves when passing a ZEBRA crossing! Even here in Europe people just wanders straight into the street without watching if cars coming are aware of them passing!! People get killed all the time at these crossings! In Thailand they have been neglected by everyone for decades! How on earth would anyone believe that things could change over night??? Use traffic lights at these crossings! That would help!

Myanmar Junta Accused of Surge in Child Soldier Recruitment
harryviking replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
These Child Soldiers will be a problem as soon as the war is over. They will be a reason for serious crime and visitors to stay far away from the country. I say Myanmar will not be the place to go for decades to come. -
I am Norwegian and will agree that an English Breakfast is the best, but a bit much to start the day with! Good? OH YES!! But as a LUNCH only! π

Lol! Good question! I guess it is the "War against drugs" that has been brainwashing people to think all drugs are BAD! I say alchohol is so much worse. In my long life, lived through the 60s and 70s, I never saw anyone smoking getting in trouble with fighting and the like. Those drinking did that a lot! Weed has got a bad name due to this I guess...and the lame politicians that have no clue what weed is. Bars are losing customers too! Take a look at the alchoholics roaming the streets at night making things dangerous for people! Any weed user doing that? Also notice all the billions of dollars being used in the fight against drugs. Some people earn a lot of money. Take on the hard drugs and leave the weed alone....as long as they do not spice it up to levels that can make an elephant fall!!ππ

Thanks! The thing is that I normally now stay for around 6 months a year and the rest "back home". I planned to do this for about 3 years more. I do of course need money there too so 65K deposi in Thailand every month would not work well. I will therefore deposit 800K for the next renewal and just move here full time a little earlier, starting to deposit the 65K each month 12 months. Good to have this cleared up. Thanks again.

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
harryviking replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
As a person with 50 years experience on motorcycles and been around Thailand many times on big bikes, I can definitely agree! The Thai need to upgrade their skills for obtaining a driver license like they do in Europe/Scandinavia! That would help a lot. More Police on the roads in "undercover" police cars would help too! Not a small control once a month to collect money for a party or something! Thai driving licenses are a JOKE!!! BUT...I am sure there are nations with similar useless drivers....lets say India, Russia, China....... πππ Just take a look at China. Anyway, a written test will NOT make you drive better! You should TEST DRIVE to do that! -
