As we can see, they don't tell us yet how they classify a big bike.

Perhaps it will be interpreted by the 'arresting officer'.

Cry me a river!

Police said they have worked out the suspect's escape route and are tracking him down.

And just how did they manage that??

Thai's exacting standards.

Standards are the same as laws - no matter how 'exacting' they are useless unless; a) people follow them and, b) someone enforces them.

what does this mean ?

A staycation (a portmanteau of "stay" and "vacation"), or holistay (a portmanteau of "holiday" and "stay"), is a period in which an individual or family stays home and participates in leisure activities within driving distance of their home and does not require overnight accommodation.

Thank you Google!

you expect to get run over in your living room yet alone standing in the middle of the road ????

My house is behind a concrete wall and 20 metres off the road so I should be relatively safe!

2020 - 2014 = 6 years

chemicals that went up in flames in Beirut's deadliest peace-time explosion arrived in the Lebanese capital seven years ago

So is it 6 years or 7 years?  My math is usually very accurate but........... It appears it was onboard the ship for a year before unloading.

Slowed?  Do not red lights mean STOP?

According to this site there have been 8,634 deaths as of this minute.

That is below minimum wage unless they are on a 16 day month.

Not very painful to replace the exhausts.

Why not crush the bikes?

Much more effective if they crushed the drivers!

pick-up carrying furniture that was reversing down a busy main road in Pathum Thani north of Bangkok. 

And this makes the pedestrians at fault?  What a load of hogwash!

And just why anyone has that many cats - the python should be turned loose on all the stray dogs!

They also suggested the 76-year-old law be updated and made relevant for the Internet era.

It makes one wonder how many other outdated laws are still on the books.  One I am aware of governs snooker halls - 79 years if memory serves.

Glad you found a place with a lengthy guarantee. Sadly it is the few instead of the many places that does this.

The glaring warranty labels on many appliances are misleading.  I have several in-line water pumps with a prominent label indicating a 5 year warranty.  when the pumps quit working,

as they often do, and warranty work was requested I was informed that the warranty was only for the motor not for the pump. 

When will the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) apply some standards to construction especially with regards to electrical and plumbing installations.  If standards are, or have been, applied the standards are in dire need of upgrading. 

Difficult to insult a non-existent trait!

A feel-good taxi driver story was long overdue!  Thanks!

So the go go dancers standing hanging on a post shuffling their feet will now be able to say they are just following the government edict.  The 22 rules will make for some boring bar evenings - sitting a meter away from each other, no contact, masked, no pool, no darts.  May as well sit on the sidewalk at 7-11 where drinks are cheaper and the girls are strutting up and down the streets.
