I may be wrong but only Immigration or the courts can do this, not hospitals, but laws will probably be different in different countries.

and the people who are killed or badly injured by them.

Well some if not all of these motorbike rental shops are/were owned by the police.

How does a size 72 sound? A nonsense post deserves a nonsense answer.

I agree with you, but why is the print small in the first place? Why can't it be the same as in the rest of the policy? Don't answer that. Does the policies ask in proper English "will you be riding motorcycles" or is it in some sort of legal jargon? If the insurance companies ask in normal print "will you be riding motorcycles? Then the problem is almost eradicated. So why don't they do that? Again don't answer that.

Would not be surprised if the electricity companies are going the same way as the banks and insurance companies and screwing ordinary people. I understand companies have to make a profit, but they should be fair about it, let's have an example, someone's electricity bill is 5000Bt, or £200, how much profit is made on that? 50%, 100%, 500%, maybe even more. I have no idea, but when people become millionaire's several times over, surely something is wrong somewhere.

Yes I understand that, I do not frequent bars although I have made the very occasional walk in Nana Plaza. I was really referring to the quietness of the road from Soi 3 down to Asoke. You have got it spot on about online. All I am saying is the main Sukhumvit Road was always busy in the years up to around 2017, I remember saying to myself not too long before the pandemic started that the streets were so quiet and believed, and still do that certain immigration issues have caused long stayers and expats to leave Thailand.

And you have???? This debate is over. Now run along.

To hell with the greedy shareholders, and I am no communist.

I know your feelings and I respect them, but it would seem most of the posters are like me, we do not want soldiers in any part of government and as I said, and stand by. any government will do me if they are all well educated politicians, they are all for themselves anyway. You live in lower Sukhumvit, you must have noticed how empty the streets were and the nightlife, and that was before the pandemic, compare that with 2014, then from about 2017 till about 2019. The soldiers chased many expats and tourists away.

Round about my small town/village here up country, nearly all the pictures of Anutin have been deliberately knocked down, and I am the only farang who lives here now. The only pictures of that despicable man that have not been vandalised are the ones in the town centre.

There is far too much greed and capitalism amongst big business. ie if something negative happens and your average business loses money ie one country invading another, a pandemic, they always pass all the financial losses on to the public, to me that is wrong, they should bear some of the losses themselves. there should be some thought to the people who made them rich in the first place. Most of the people at the top of any big business are financially secured for life, they should start being fair to the very people who put them in the position that they are in.

"We need to send a strong signal to the Thais," Just who are you referring to here? The soldiers making an a$$ of running the country or the Thai people themselves? If the former, then yes, I agree with you, if the Thai people themselves, no! Countries all over the world will have their share of scammers, especially in tourist area's. I find that most of the Thai people are decent, and honest, but I admit that some of their behaviour has gone back a bit since the end of the pandemic, but not their honesty.

As long as the Thai people keep the soldiers away, anything, or any method to get into government will be fine, and will be an improvement on the last nine years.

What does BF stand for? Do you have to be so lazy with your typing??

The thing is the soldiers chased away hundreds of expats and tourists because they don't lose out personally financially, it's the country that loses out, the ordinary Thai person who depends on tourism for a living who loses out big time. If the soldiers really cared about the country and it's people and not just themselves, they would trying to encourage tourism and expats to come and live here.

I think the answer to that is you can refuse to take the piss test, but you will have to go to the police station to do it.

Two words, soldiers and greed.

Just typical insurance companies, they will take loads of money from you for years, then when you reach 76 it's bye bye.

Techno???? Music???????????

Pocket filling somewhere will probably have something to do with it.

He should just get himself and the rest if his soldiers back to their barracks and parade grounds where they should have stayed during the last nine years instead of misruling the country.

Heh! Heh! The UK used to be a Christian country, look at it now, an ethnic "minority" PM. Also what about Scotland? A Muslim First Minister. Thailand may have had a soldiers government for the last nine years, but even with a soldiers mentality, that sort of thing would never be allowed to happen in Thailand.

As many as they want I should think, as long as they are not trolling, it is a public forum after all.

Caretaker??
