in the meantime vigilantes roam the streets carrying weapons in their vehicles and with quick tempers and waste no time at taking the law into their own hands should they suspect somebody tried to disrupt their day, and lets not forget teachers beating toddlers in schools across the country, tuk tuk drivers ripping off tourists, rapes , murders and a list of other crimes which mimic Thai soap operas...all of which never see anything close to the investigation, punishment, follow through of prosecution, loss of face, or even jail time that this tour guide is facing....

I'm scratching my head

This is news?

Nice to have a top priority...its enforcing that is always the issue..and that never happens here..therefore..priorities are never dealt with

I hope the family sues...this report is such blatent BS

In the US..I believe all purchases of lottery tickets are of course spit out by a computerized machine which usually documents say and time of purchase...and there may even be cameras synced in to verify any disputes

yes more dachcams...never mind law enforcement and education

Congratulations

A Hub Thailand can be very proud of bragging about

Well, good question sir.
A fairly weird one (country i mean) once their 'amazing enchantment' has finally ceased.
And a pretty unfit one where - practised - judiciary is even slightly concerned.
Amongst others ... 

IMO..the culture in general just hasn't learned the concept of taking responsibility...like a little kid..they act out of impulse without thinking of consequenses...and then assume that just saying "I'm sorry" is sufficient enough to move on...and of course there is no solid form of law  being properly enforced here....

First of all...this should read..."Drivers license road competency rules become stricter"

secondly ..we all know that any idiot can walk into a doctors office and obtain a health certificate for 50 baht without any kind of checkup....so whats the point of this?

oh well...one area Thailand can't be the hub of

This gets uglier and more transparent by the day...

oh brother!

the Thai male ego is so so fragile...what happened?

Keep pressing!..I hope you find justice

Hey look...as long as they believe that accidents, deaths, etc etc is someones fate or karma..then why would anyone think they will take some kind of progressive action to change things

this kind of anecdotal nonsense is totally unverifiable and totally unhelpful.

I'm sure they are good and bad students and teachers at schools but the survey is about adult usage of English and anecdotal evidence only reinforces pprejudices rather tan enquire about the real causes.

oo

Several months ago I spoke to an English Teacher in CNX.  She was Filipina(never lived in an English Speaking Country) and said most of her students(elementary school) just repeat the English words she says.  As soon the students leave her class they pretty much forget everything.  

and the reason why they choose a Filipina to teach is because they can get away with paying her a Thai wage which is half the price of what an native speaking American, Canadian, Australian etc would demand

Good for the Univ of Georgia for rubbing their face into the truth...its time to wake up, get off your self centered greedy lazy asses and do something to contribute to protecting and caring for the very land and water that provides for you

Good for him..I'm sure if he goes back home, all the relatives will be at the border waiting

what defensive measures..tell the truth and just say the idiot deserved to be kicked off because he created more of a traffic hazard that could have injured other people....Good job police for stopping a potential problem!

Are you sure kicking him off the bike was the only way left?

just my opinion...I'm sure they were screaming at him to pull over many times..if in fact that was the case..we don't know...just my guess...so what else was there left to do?

Looks like they were in  pursuit and he wasn't complying to stop so they resorted to stopping him the only way left
