I have can't get health insurance in Thailand because of pre-existing conditions.  

Then you'd best go back home before your luck runs out. 

Reporters were drunk!

Is this for the staff only? Or is it new? I have been through Mor Chit literally hundreds of times and have never gone through a metal detector. Albeit last time was about 3 months ago.

The third floor hasn't had a detector there all the time but the ground floor has. Security up top was lacklustre as they are harmless north eastern folk.  

Good luck sealing the back door to morchit,  how will they screen all the arrivals by mini van or bus? 

My wife thinks I'm missing something spiritual and said I  should have become a novice monk for a while like most Thai men. 

I now think she's right where do I sign up?

Yes its a no brainer. Night time entertainment is the lifeblood of this area, young people on holiday do not go out until very late evening, so 3am - 4am is a sensible closing time.  p.s. I am not a teenager, i am in my 80's so would not use it myself, but young people  will and do.

Based on what? 5% of the tourists. Don't see many Chinese at these hrs. The only way the Junta will allow longer opening hrs is if a number of bars can make a business case for it. I'm sure the numbers decline significantly after 2am anyway. 

You'd think face recognition could be put to use every one has there mug shot taken on arrival.  They would only need one or two to be caught and thrown in a stinking Thai jail for a few days. I bet this women was shiting as passing through immigration on the way home.

If I was the victim of bad driving/ riding I wouldn't let them anywhere near it until I had a back up copy, as mentioned by a previous poster. I think the first thing I would do if I ad an accident (after checking everybody was okay) would be to quickly take the dash cam down and put it in the glove box.

Good advice this. Best to power down the dash cam normally. The other trick is to give the cam a light tap since most are programmed by default to record individual files in another folder each time a certain amount of G's are exceeded. Usually the last 3 min of footage is quarantined in its own folder. The other advice is to check it actually records the reliability of sd cards and the dash cams is poor. Top dollar doesn't always guarantee the cam will last forever. 

An android phone (>v3) with a OTG cable and memory card reader can back up an entire sd card (32g) in 10 min on the spot if the cops demand it be passed over at the time of the accident, maybe not practical but can be done.

Moto taxi are the violaters. So makes perfect sense to ask the perps to report themselves?

Yes typical Thai logic. 

Why not crush their bikes and fine them another 20k?

Good on him he is doing what the cops should be out doing. He should fine them other 200b for stupidity and believing such a stunt,  like someone already said this sort of thing has gone on for ages and an fbi badge!!  

If the money went to cleaning the environment and improving facilities like toilets then wouldn't be so bad but when I was on phi phi and maya last week all you see is guards ready to take the money and sub standard toilets rubbish on the beach etc. Doing the maths on arrivals even at 200b per person you could employ an army of workers to clean up and improve facilities. For my money railay beach near ao Nang is just as good as these islands without the 400b fee.

I don't know about a slow down? Last week and 3 months ago when I went to maya Bay it was packed with tourists but it is the high season. 

Excellent needs to be carried out before sundown today before the Thai's forget all about it. 

Sack them all and hire Burmese or Cambodian workers at half the hourly rate.

Needs to be established if it was accidentall or premeditated as thoughtless as that may sound.

I hope they will bring the music volume level a bit down of these joints same as they did in walking street Pattaya.

Yes agreed the volume along walking Street in Patong is ridiculous compared to Pattaya. Obviously the bars are competing for customers by increasing the volume.  Turn it down to 40db at midnight and lights out at 2am...easy. 

'How about to connect these wifi hotspots with an mini bus transport system?,"

Now there's a thought! An extension of the grab app you can use for a taxi.

A mini bus drives along and knows exactly where to stop and pick you up, more buses can  be dispatched depending on demand. 

I believe easyjet in the UK have a fat policy. 

Jewish stock take. Coffee shops would be a dime a dozen in korat the insurance would be an easy way out 

criminal syndicate= dissidents

Please there is no government in thailand so refrain from the word "government"  it's a junta pure and simple. 

Junta =a military or political group that rules a country after taking power by force.

I find most Bangkok's bts commuters good compared to my home Melbourne Australia. I've seen people urinate in the corner, idiots that cause fights,  people affected by alcohol or drugs make a nuances and dheads that just have to stand in front of an opening door preventing your exit. The bts isn't that bad compared to some 

Ratchathewi Junction up pethchaburi towards pantip you can see every 5min a motorcycle ride on the foot path.  Should be good picking for the bib to nick offenders. 

Thai airways = 4 stars for safety  

Even Malaysia Airlines has 5 stars for safety..... That must hurt no wonder they don't comment 

In addition to condoms Prep and pep are viable options. Prep is about $20 per day and falling.  Pep is good for up do 72 hrs.  Not sure on the availability of these drugs in Thailand but the day will come soon. Also copies of these drugs may only be months away if not already. There are side effects with these drugs but there use as a temporary measure to possible hiv exposure may be justified.

What record? I have seen those minivans packing 12 big farangs.

Correction 13. The mini bus from Pattaya to Bangkok I went on Wednesday had 13 seats with seat belts. 4 rows x 3 + 1 up front. not sure if there was provision for 4 in the back seat so maybe it's 14? Anyway felt OK for this normal sized 180cm farang! 

If it's any indication....I along with 2 of my family sat on a plane 7 days ago from Australia . after the door closed we were able to change seats so we had a row by ourselves. Most of the people in the last 20 rows (3×3) could do the same. 

IF the planes aren't full they won't get anywhere near the estimate .
