Look at all the badges, he's a tourist cop for god's sake?

the decals on the top of the sleeves simply tells him which arm belongs where........

"Thailand has paid out 64 million baht in compensation to the families of the 47 victims and survivors of the Phoenix boat that sank"

- so boats are allowed to operate without public liability insurance?

- mandatory insurance for tourists is a must for personal protection, but not in lieu of failure by the likes of boat operators to have insurance in the first place.

Lane discipline  and thoughtful driving is whats needed. Are there these many deaths in Europe where there are no speed limits in some areas.

Just teach the <deleted> to drive properly

Oh, they mostly drive properly - it's just that they are inconsiderate to other drivers!

They should restrict maximum hours at a stretch that commercial drivers can do.

And most importantly, enforce the <deleted> laws.

Not sure which is more shocking here: the results of the study, or the fact they needed one at all to discover what epxats here have known for years?

 

Ah, but expats do not know:

1. Highway No. 1 between the 708th-726th kilometre markers; 

2. Highway No. 2 between the 20th-36th kilometre markers;

3. Highway No. 4 between the 126th-130th kilometre markers;

4. Highway No. 9 between the 30th-38th kilometre markers;

5. Highway No. 32 between the 132nd-137th kilometre markers;

6. Highway No. 41 between the 366th-379th kilometre markers;

He waited for yellow lines for no overtaking to overtake, thick as shit basically

Probably just admiring the yellow artwork on the road, contemplating perhaps it should be in red.......SMH.

Sadly much of the beach trash is washed up from the sea, only a proportion being litter as such. This is a national issue, or even global, not just a local one.......

 

 

Shameful Local authorities cannot be allowed to use "washed up from the sea" as a get out clause! It is excellent that the youth of today are able to expose 'authorities' through social media.......long may it continue...

The OP has not specifically mentioned Thai women, so how is this topic even Thailand related? In-fact this is rather derogatory against women. Why not ask, does your husband treat you like a servant and only want`s you for sex. 

Lol, if OP was referring to any other nationality of women, why would he raise the topic in TV?

Good work!

Just crap reporting, again.

Sounds pretty crafty, not to mention practiced, to my ear. No need to over-react, but would keep my eyes and ears open.

Cannot believe such incidents are even being discussed here.........

I don't have much money in Thailand, and it's usually for thing like requesting a document (for immigration), or changing a phone number.
I know what I'm signing for with the title and content of the document, but it's always asked before they fill it for me, unless that's a form I filled myself.

 

In the context of this thread, that's not how your comment came across to me...........Ok, apologies!

Why don't you simply tell them you'd like to see what you are signing for? Pretty dumb to sign up to anything anywhere, especially in LOS.

What sort of a brain dead person wears a 120,000 baht gold chain, in Pattaya, at night?  Common sense would tell you that flashing an expensive gold chain is nothing but a magnet for thieves, especially in Pattaya.  
 

Not everyone has knowledge of risks in Pattaya, especially if one is a tourist.

Even if the risks were known, it does not make it right. 

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss!

Some of these polls are stupid.

How about a poll for common sense?

ages ago, had lots of Minis, 970s, 998s and 1275s

 

all of them were good for 210 + km/hour - that was GREAT FUN,

 

this about 40+ years ago

 

(Europe was flooded with fairly advanced tuning kits for Minis, for a wee charge)

 

BS

So.....finally they realise that a visa fee (or not) is the determinating factor in choosing a holiday destination?

The Brits can only blame themselves for the poor state of the Pound, which will get worse, as the British economy, including the City, is deteriorating, as they voted for Brexit inspite of all the warnings, which unfortunately, are slowly but surely coming true. The Tories have to understand that you can't have it both ways - either associated with the EU and then accept free movement of goods and PEOPLE, or cut off all ties, with the expected results.

 

There is absolutely no conclusive evidence of any benefit or not, of Brexit, so I wish people would stop speculative comments. 

If it required a work permit, so would changing oil in your car, cutting the grass in your yard or making home repairs which none do require a work permit.

I know this is a stupid troll post, but lets use some common sense.

...indeed common sense prevails......OP must be a complete nervous wreck to even ask the question in the first place.......if a WP was required, then it would extend to even flushing (exerting pressure) a public toilet.......what about the cases of aliens spotted cleaning up rubbish on the beach, and de-facing graffiti from billboards, etc.....were they arrested for not having a WP? Thailand will really be a laughing stock of the world if for a minute WPs were considered a legal requirement in these "common sense" areas. I'll put my coat on again.

Sounds warped to me !

...........and what is the Dec '14 photo of the beach supposed to depict?

Warped indeed.

This is clearly wrong and damages Thailand's image. Thailand's very own respected international air safety ratings survey, conducted by social welfare students at Chula Uni on 1,243 Thais from 70 villages from Jan 5-6, puts Knock-Air at 7 Stars.

......yeah, what do these Airlinerating.com people know?
