Thanks, I have just adjusted my post reflecting this.

I did not see the full road markings in the video, but should the guy on the motorbike not have left the inside lane clear for vehicles wanting to make a left hand turn when the road is clear?

Most Thai's do not have the brains or common sense to realise this. I make no apologies for Thai bashing where driving and riding are concerned.

I have often pumped my horn at traffic not moving when a light turned green, though not as quick as the vehicle in this case. Some lights take a very long time to change, so some drivers are still texting on their phone and need a reminder that the lights have changed to green. I have noticed, that since mobiles and smartphones have become the normal for people that this now happens a lot more often.

How do the Lazada delivery charges work? If a buy say 4 items, ie food, then I buy 1 item later, will that item only cost me 25% of the previously bought 4 items. I am just trying to find the most economic way of buying items of food.

So will a truck pulling out on to the road in front of a motorbike. Although I think that particularly in heavy rain, the motorbike rider should be riding very slowly especially with two young children as passengers on it, and be prepared for any vehicle coming out of an entrance on to a main road in front of him.

What is ED?

The next general election?? When was the last one. Please remember that I am talking about a general election with the Thai people doing the voting, not just the generals and senators, but all the Thai people who are eligible to vote.

and you can bet there will be one. The pandemic made a lot of people rich, too many to mention. It is only a matter of time before something else comes along that will make people rich again. Governments the world over will be ready to pounce. Remember, you read it here.

If I don't agree with anyone's rules anywhere, I repeat anywhere, I will not obey them if I can find a way around them, which I usually do. But the most important thing is, I will never do anything to the detriment of ordinary people. If anyone cannot live like this then they should just stay in bed...

Good post, though I do not think things are hard for the immigration officers, yes they are also police officers. They just make up their own rules to suit themselves, every IO is different, they won't lose out on anything. The normal police officers are different, they have lost a lot of their bungs from the bars, clubs and other businesses because they were closed during the pandemic, so as far as what I have been reading, they are trying to compensate for this now by putting the screw on if you know what I mean.

Ferrari Joe. ????

I Bet you do. ????

I feel that way about every Labour PM in the UK in my lifetime. They are supposed to be the party of the working man, but never were. A working mans party with all these Sirs and Lords and they are all stinking rich. Even today their leader is a "Sir".

"honest competent politicians."?? Do they exist in any country? Probably, but not when they are in the position of running a country. Obviously I cannot comment on any other country, But in my lifetime in the UK, I cannot remember any PM who was honest and competent, though maybe some more competent than others.

If it is not a dot or full stop that is aggressive, then what is? Two or more question marks maybe? But again, being aggressive is not always a question.

George Jones. Greatest ever country music singer.

Vince Gill. Great voice range for a country singer.

General Election????????

Govt and military unable to justify why allocated budget for payroll went in shortfall for September Government and military???? I thought they were both the same. ????

He was probably educated at a Military Academy the same as the unelected suspended PM he is deputising for. It is therefor hard to imagine economy being a Military Academy subject.

Just a typical soldier, leading a country when his IQ is about equal to the average Thai walking in the street.

Very true, but what if the person who causes the accident to you has no insurance. Do you just have to accept it and that's that?

"we are seen as a cash cow if we are in an accident." That is one of the reasons I only keep enough money in Thailand for living expenses. They cannot force you to sell your house as it is not in your name. In other words, no one can get what you haven't got.

When you read the Thai news either here on AN/TV, or anywhere else, why is it there are always reports about people being killed and seriously injured on the roads, but rarely if ever, do you read of some underage kid, who was killed while riding a motorbike. That must happen very often here in Thailand every day.
