Hey If you guys think Thailand is a non-broken thriving metropolis then more power to you.  I'm just dropping a note in the suggestion box on my way out.

Thailand is the freest country in the world.

Should also require a special license to place an infant in front of the driver on a Motorbike. This specialty would have a maximum IQ requirement of 80. 

never happen nobody here could manage that score unless paid for

A wise move i think...the average Thai who is used to riding a motocy struggles with a "big bike" and then we have the dumb ass farangs who cant even ride a motocy properly trying to ride a "big bike" as well...

 

I would think capping the motocy at 125cc and anything above that is considered a "big bike" 

i think this person is in  need medical attention to the brain, is idiots in cages who kill them. they should be made to drive golf buggies & have tests to drive larger vehchles, get a life you loser

The coach went as far into the cave as he did because he thought there was a back entrance. He then encouraged the boys to dig their way out, thus wasting air and energy. Didn't tell anyone they were going in. Idiot.

Technology has moved on a lot in six years.  For me, SSDs are amazing.  Boot times are so much faster.  Therefore I'd be inclined to say farewell to the old laptop.

Download Driver booster 5.2 is free & look on you tube is easy to get the pro for free, it fixed my problems on old pc that was crashing IRQ not less or equal, give it a try before wasting money on the i7 garbage. i do gaming use old 775 extremes . to get the same of new shit costs 40.000 plus & still runs all latest game  mae pan rai, try it

Since January 1st of this year the 15 day entry rule at land border crossings no longer exists. It was rescinded when the ministerial order limiting land border crossing for a visa exempt entry to 2 per calendar year.

Thanks for the info Joe, it changes often here & i do not keep up to date with everything like you, cheers

Just now, sanemax said:

I did, its 30 days 

http://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand/changes-visa-exempt.php

 

Well the change the laws here often mate, hope it works out for you, when i used to do it was 2 weeks, cheers

Just now, sanemax said:

But have you been on a border run in the last few years ? After the rule change ?

i only use it every 3 months know because i have a multiple entry retirement visa, before that i had to cross the border every 2 weeks. if you atemt it you may be lucky just make sure to take your flight intenery with you, but to be safe i would use the option to extend at local immigration office to be safe. google it australians only get a 2 week entry  by landcrossings mate

On 12/23/2017 at 5:35 PM, ubonjoe said:

a. No problem at all to get a 30 day visa exempt entry unless you have already done 2 of them at a land border crossing this year. You could cross and immediately return if you wanted to.

b/c I cannot help with those 2 questions.

Australians only get 2 weeks crossing the border here. i know have lived there over 20 years. just go to your local immigration pay the 1.900 baht to get an extension, cheers

Thank you so much for your quick responses.

 

Do you think that a train ticket or a bus ticket from Nong khai to laos would be sufficient ?

A ticket back to France would be much appreciated

These kids that were driving were obviously way out of control. Why not just yield to the other driver? Why the need to keep up, and overcome? What is that? Where does that lack of self esteem come from? And astonishing sense of inferiority, a lack of manhood, no self esteem, one could speculate forever. 

 

I have been saying for a long time now, the youth of today are very scary people. They have little perspective on anything, and it seems that most parents worldwide, have lost the art of parenting. The very fact that this kid would act like this is proof, that his mother and father have been absent on the job. I am very, very fortunate to not have children. But, if I had them, I would be very strict. Children need boundaries, much like pets. They will test you, to determine where the limits are, and will try to find how far they can push you. These days parents are so hung up on trying to be "friends" with their kids, they hesitate to show them the limits. I see that everywhere I go these days. Here in Thailand it is very pronounced. I hear it is worse in China, where the parents spoil their kids rotten. It is very bad in the US. If I were in the position of this mother, when we got home, he would be locked in his room for a week. No school, no play, no TV, no devices, no screens, 2 meals a day, some water, and a bucket for elimination. With a padlock on the outside of the door. He would learn very quickly where his limits were. And my guess it that he would straighten out. Please, no lectures on parent cruelty. I am NOT a believer in political correctness. On any level. Kids are kids. Parents are parents. They owed it to these kids to teach them something, about basic values. Anything.

 

And why are these drivers speeding in the first place? The primary reason is the toy police force. Nobody, and I mean nobody takes these guys seriously. There is absolutely nothing in the way of a deterrent here, and both the local governments, the central government (weak Little P.) and the police do not take traffic safety seriously. Not even one iota. The safety of the public means less than zero to the small men in charge here. Nothing. They show that on a daily basis.

 

When I was growing up, we took drivers education classes. They showed us these horrendous films, of semi trucks crashing into cars, and literally obliterating them, and everything inside. Also, they showed very graphic images of head on collisions. Even as a young kid, it left a lasting impression, and I realized driving was no joking matter. Especially when you have your friends, or loved ones in the car with you. I am constantly astonished at the kinds of chances people take here, with their entire family in the car with them. Why? What is the logic? What is the reason? Why take those risks? Often, when someone cuts onto the highway in front of me, as I am doing 100kpm or more on the highway, I look in my rearview mirror, and there is nobody behind me for quite some distance. Which means, had they paused, and waited 2 or 3 seconds, there would have been zero risk to them, their family, or me and my family. What can one even say? All of this matters even more when driving a motorbike, where there is no protection. 

 

The only way to survive here on the road, is to be patient, have eyes in the back of your head, drive with caution, and always, and I mean always watch out of the other guy. Chances are, he does not have much driving skill, nor patience, nor reason, nor common sense. You cannot be too careful on the road here. Especially considering that the toy police offer no traffic safety, nor enforcement of the law. 

 

 

Same as driving anywhere in the world, western countries are a lot worse. lots of Mr Ma Goos, i have lived here 23 years, no problem, in western countries been run over by idiots, so why people like to bash Thais, if it is so bad go home

The OP is an opinion piece patched together by some Reuters employees. 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  

 

Iraq I War showed how wrong the US was, to worry about whether, in that case, Iraqi defenses could hamper vanguard USAF tech.  

On the other side of the coin.  Prior to and during the VN war, the US military had no doubt its superior tech would force Viet Cong to capitulate in a short time.   How wrong was the Pentagon on that call?  56,000 dead young American men wrong.  

 

War is many things, but always unpredictable. N.Korea won't be able to shoot down stealth US aircraft, but that's a relatively small component in what would ensue in a war there.  

 

It's like a homeowner, when he hears a prowler breaking into his house:  the homeowner puts on a bulletproof vest and says to his wife, "that prowler won't be able to pierce this vest and plunge a knife into my chest, isn't that great?!"    The wife knows there are a whole lot of other harmful things a prowler can inflict.

 

I think the VN would have capitulated if the Govt asswipes had left it to the military, try reading the bright shining lie

Last year I cancelled my Thai marriage because of advice given on this forum. Advice that suggested it was a bad move getting married in Thailand because of the possibility of Centrelink reducing the OAP. Has anyone had this actually happen to them, and if so, how did Centrelink become aware?

A friend of mine lost about 1 third of his pension marrying a Thai over 10 years ago, the next year he got divorced to her so  got pull pension back, but still lived with her, i do not know how Aust govt found out, maybe a jealous friend, could be many things, cheers
