A large number of the Electricians here also do not meet any standards.

Lottery numbers please...(asking for the Wife)...

Agreed Ralf, I can only assume they fall into the lack of enforcement trap, the same as I see so many tourists riding without helmets, with flip flops, with sleeveless shirts, or no shirts. They seem to lose to reasoning of consequences, or they leave that thought at the airport on arrival.

Being a tourist He did not know that driving the wrong way while drunk is a reserved occupation for locals only. He lacked the neccesary skills to get away with it.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else noticed that the Thai news are not saying Thaksin is a de facto prime minister any more, they have changed His title to Father of the prime minister.......I wonder why......

I believe that the Royal pardon reduced His sentence from 8 years to 1. The main complaint is that He did not serve 1 day of that 1 year sentence.

No mention of the police charging Him with riding with 3 on a bike then..........sarcasm alert on.....

I am in no way condoning the actions of this plonker, however................... Should they not be doing this to the thousands, upon thousands of Thai drivers who commit the same offence day in & day out. They would rake in millions of Baht a day.

Baffled me too Smedley, let us hope it goes the other way very soon.

Now that is funny.

Why blank out the number plate in the video, name & shame them, or would that leave someone open to the archaic stoneage defamation laws here?

Just beat me to it, Sir...

Absolutely 100% correct.

Caption competition....... "I think I will take.....errrr......this one. Should keep me in the Wife's good books for a while"

You cracked it, there are no realistic safety protocols here, just knee jerk reactions, with no real safety guidelines, or build quality. Every time is the same, did they not order a crackdown a couple of years ago when a minibus caught fire and killed a group of Myanmar workers? Same again, in a few weeks it will be forgotten. The only crackdowns here are the ones on the officials rear ends nestled comfortably in their big office chairs as they count the envelopes.

It seems to me that the people who are trying to manipulate the news, such as all the covidiocy lies, etc. are putting this out because more and more conspiracy theories are being shown to be fact, and they are trying to discredit them.

Exactly, the WEF want CBDC all tied to a digital I.D. so they can control your money. It is so plain to see, but sadly there are still people who say it is just a conspiracy theory.

My mistake, I never looked that close, once it was credited I never looked farther as I knew I would use it soon. Thanks for the info.

I always use C.O.D. as I do not trust Lazada with my card details, (or anyone else here), I have been lucky so far in that I have only had to return goods 2 times. However, with Lazada you do not get your money back, but get a credit note to your account, that would be a nightmare if it was for a large sum.

Well, The pavements looked just like that in the photo when I first came to Bangkok, in 1980. I have heard, and read so many times from so many Mayors that the issue will be addressed as a matter of urgency. However, I will put money on them looking the same in the next 44 years.

Well said Sir. When I mention it to the ostriches with their head in the sand I am told to adjust my foil cap. Until I explain the analogy of thirty people paying 50 pounds cash for services there is still 50 pounds there. Whereas when people pay with cards etc, the banks take a percentage so eventually the bank owns the 50 pounds. Plus, as you say, once everyone is cashless (as the WEF want), the banks can charge you what they want.

I believe it may have been a very poor attempt at humour. Which, when you think how many little childen died, alongside their teachers in that tragedy, it is pretty sick minded.

That is what I was led to believe reading the article, however, talking to the boss this morning She said on the Thai news the driver ran to get a fire extinguisher, and He, along with another person were trying to get back into the bus. Guess we may never know exactly what happened apart from the usual money before life attitude coupled with the obvious corruption and ineptness of the regulating authorities..... Still bringing tears up everytime I think of it...

Exactly what I said to the Wife this morning. I told Her about the hammers for the windows as She said the reports say they could not break the windows, also no emergency exit at the back where a dead teacher was found holding two or three children. So very sad that money comes before safety. Also, how long will these "inspections" last. I remember when they made it compulsory for buses to have seat belts, and I would put my pension on probably less than 20% are either still fitted, or in working order.

NO, WRONG, I for one was not aware of this blatant discrimination, like thousands of others, so crawl back under the stone you squirmed from.
