Moreover Danang beach provide amenities for beach goers such as taps by the beach to clean up the sands before leaving beach and clean beach toilets all free of charge. A shame for pattaya beach facilities.

Time for him to take this opportunity to repent and live an austere life like a monk. A good way to pare down his karmic debt.

Thai workers especially those in blue collar work some of them tend to slouch off after drinking at noon. They never return after lunch break. Even for line assembly making it a headache for line managers . This excuse I heard from my Thai friend who has a factory in Rayong.

Marriage is not solely for physical needs. Spiritual and mental aspirations too . a close buddy or companion to share life with and to grow old together.

I have a teenager son who just got his bike license to ride to school . I got him a full face helmet but he skipped using it as much as possible favoring his other helmets for convenience. I guess as parents, we can only do so much and hope for the best. Teenager need to blend in with his pals and I guess peer pressure is also the reason for lax of safety behavior as well. Last week, he came back with the news of his friend being in a bike accident outside his school , showing me photos of deep gashes across his face lying unconscious on the road. He was not even wearing a helmet . Did my son take the incident as a safety education? No. He attributed the incident to bad karma or bad luck and go on with his life.

I had seen many instances of young schoolers under 14 riding to schools in rural places all over in Thailand . I guess Thais are pragmatic about this as public transport is lacking here. The police are also complicit in this pragmatism.

I am a Malaysian so maybe I can give a better insight on this issue. firstly Malaysians are more proactive about road safety. Diligent adherents to license, helmet were drummed into the younger communities constantly especially in towns and cities. You do get to see some riders without helmets during Friday prayer sessions but these are mainly in villages . Traffic police here are more diligent pulling riders violating traffic rules as well as checking valid documentation.

Different sectors of Thais with different priorities. Don’t lump Thais into a single entity. They are not, historically and in the foreseeable future too.

No need to go visit usa to see the homeless tent cities . You see those similar states in impoverished shanty towns worldwide.

A pistol shot normally do not drop down the person unless it was a killer shot to the head. If not, the guy would have more than a few seconds to act before dropping down. It is only in movies where a shot would bring down a guy in succession.

Skirmishes along borders is just like two siblings having a go at each other once a while to let off steam not to annihilate one another .they want to maintain the status quo.

The architecture of the old temples were untouched. They just replaced the Hindu deities with Buddhist one and used them as Buddhist temples. I have seen these too in Cambodia not only in Thailand.

Whether in criminal or political dramas, follow the money.

Exceptions for humanitarian needs, such as urgent medical care, student education, and essential daily life activities. I think Thai authorities allow goods and services to cross border on foot but not vehicles.

Why demeaning the Chinese ethnic ? There are always good and ugly nationalities all over the world. I am ethnic Chinese and I behave like a good world citizen wherever I go. Polite and courteous.
