You mean do well as in economically?

A disciplined, patriarchal system? Like Myanmar, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, Syria, Saudi Arabia, China? Chaotic degeneracy of 'liberal democracy'? Where do you get this stuff? I guess you are from the latter. Do you resent your upbringing? Your survival chances? The opportunities open to you? The privileges? Hard to see how life could be any easier under a degenerate liberal democracy, but you still yearn for an authoritarian regime. Why? Because it doesn't apply to you and you have no experience of it. Just neo colonialism. Extraordinary arrogance to suggest prescribing a political system for "some countries". Name them!

His legacy is the dreadful constitution that set up the 250 stooges and is causing chaos right now which is probably why he's doing a runner. Plus, he leaves a deeply divided nation. His royalist sympathies led to the prosecution of over 1000 people under the 112 laws, the rounding up of student activists and incarceration without bail. He and his kind - the senile Nowit et al - have had their day.

I've never really "got" the classification of addiction as a disease. I was addicted to nicotine, still am to some extent, but I quit. Used to drink but quit. Switched to low carb diet - you may laugh, but giving up sugar, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta etc is not easy after 70 years. To me it's simply STOP. Now how many other "diseases" can I cure like that? And regarding weed addiction. At university, the worst that could be described as an effect of smoking it, which we middle class white undergraduates did daily for months at a time, was the reluctance to get off the floor and go to lectures and seminars. No psychosis, no CUD, MAD, SUD nor any other depiction of addiction. Really, cannabis abuse, if it exists, is surely most likely to be caused by poverty, deprivation, and social situation, not the supposedly addictive properties of THC. Compared to crack/opioids synthetic or otherwise.... Well, I don't think there IS a comparison. It's just guilt by association.

Isn't it the PC/laptop version that's being discontinued?

No, you do it online.

Put the cables along the new drains that took a year to install. Job done.

Er, cables and bushes seems an odd combination.

They're going to have to dig up the road or lay overhead cables via support towers to cross the road to get to customer cable inlets. Why couldn't they have just laid the cables alongside the wonderful new drains? Access hatches all the way down. Easy access. Out of the way. In fact, why don't they do that right now and scrap the stupid central reservation. It's already caused one mash up. How many more?

What about access? Maintenance? Additional cable laying? Etc etc etc. And the cable companies? Are they going to replace the hundreds of cables that currently are carried up the sides of the road on poles? Whatever the answer to that is, I still say what they've done with the central reservation is unworkable. Welcome to another ghost town created by City Hall.

I read somewhere they intend to lay cables down the middle. ????????????????????????

Absolutely. And getting out for people who got there on their bikes or cars, baht buses etc etc. Forced left and then u turn prohibited!

Why would I know anymore than city hall? It wasn't my idea. But regarding the central reservation itself, I believe the plan is/was to lay cables down it. Another year's work I imagine. What a disaster! What is your take on it all? Do you use Thepprasit? Frequently? How do you find the no right turns virtually the whole length with everybody looking for a place to U turn? And those forced left on joining it then also looking for the next u turn spot.

Wise doesn't handle THB. You have to use Dee.

All this chat about Thepprasit and the central reservation overlooks the actual subject of the OP, which is the wreck this woman was involved in. We'll probably (!) never hear the full story, but luckily, half the members of AN appear to have been witnesses, so I'm sure they will be able to set the record straight about what actually happened. Call the first witness! No, on second thoughts, we've heard it all before... She was probably..., 100/1 on she was..., I reckon..., If you ask me..., Maybe..., Could be..., I guess..., Who knows? They can't drive so what do you expect?

I read somewhere there had been approval of the scheme after canvassing on Thepprasit amongst the businesses. I find it hard to believe. Well, impossible really.

That is interesting. I didn't know Nua pre barrier. I saw businesses disappearing though. There was a pool shop up near the junction with 3rd. The whole row is derelict now. There used to be a very affordable attorney near the bottom end. Got a will written there for 4k. But, no right into Makro, and then no U turn at the Sukhumvit junction. What do they suggest you do then?

Ask city hall

You doubt it? Is that supposed to be a convincing reply? Don't tell me. Your guess is... Could be that ... I'll bet 300 on... Even City Hall weren't able to come up with any figures for the alleged accident rate on Thepprasit. The point is, Thepprasit is a highly commercialised road. There are shops and businesses and Sois the whole length of it on both sides of the road. Access to these is now seriously restricted. You have to travel 100s of metres up the road in order to U turn to get back to where you want. Those businesses are going to suffer no end. It's not like Nua which has relatively few commercial establishments. God forbid they try this on Tai or Klang. Or 3rd. In addition, the central reservation takes up valuable road space. It's not a help. It's a hindrance. It's now a major problem, not a solution.

How can an agreement between two parties be preserved with the death of one of the parties? Supposing the land was inherited by a third party. Are you suggesting it will be encumbered with a usufruct? I don't believe a usufruct is transferable. The new owner might agree to a new usufruct, but in any event, the old one will terminate. But, maybe I'm wrong.

That's what I was getting at. Add to that the fact that this would be done during probate and I can only see trouble. Using Thais as proxies has hit the headlines recently in the cases of numerous Chinese companies using just that method.

I meant the part about under the watchful gaze of a court, a foreigner sets up a company full of Thai proxies.

A novel idea. Well, to me, at least. Has it been tested?

How can a written agreement outlast the signatories to it?

The idea was to explore all their options. The one year option is just one, and if it doesn't sell in that time, what then?
