the GPS technology has already been proved to efficiently prevent accidents in buses

Good job. It went from 'horrifying' to today's simple 'horrible'.  I guess, in a way, he can pat himself on the back for trying.

TIT - Typical In Thailand. Why are people surprised by this? Moving on...

Last year, this year, next year, the year after....

It's the same as the travel time of the Pattaya/Hua Hin ferry. Thai standard unit of time vs. Western standard unit of time.

Obviously suffering  from thainess syndome = voluntary selective short term memory loss

The Department of Land Transport has already been ordered to make sure all transport vans are equipped with the GPS device

What the hell will a GPS tracker do anyways?

Is it going to bitch slap the driver awake if he falls asleep?

Is it going to monitor his blood to see if there is any drugs in the drivers system?

Is it going to warn the driver that his tires are almost bald and driving in the rain may endanger himself, his passengers and everybody else that he crashes into?

Is it going to take control of the vehicle and miraculously save everybody?

Putting a GPS tracker is about as useless in saving lives as putting GPS trackers on all tourists who travel in the country.

Pure 100% un-adulterareted bovine psychology.

The Ministry of Transport will allow tourists to ride a ferry boat between Pattaya and Hua Hin for free ...

Don't they mean 'guinea pigs' or 'test subjects' instead... at least until all the kinks are worked out.

yeah, sweet thought, and ,i would dare say produtivity would surge also, but  then i woke up  . T I T.

Productivity would not surge as 3/4 of the work force would be in a catatonic state without access to facebook. LOL

This happened yesterday morning. Not today.

Great job on the part of 3BB for getting their system back online in less then 3 hours. Was able to get back online quickly compared to my former ISP TOT who would take a few days just for sorting out a short on the cable.

Preaching to the choir. Yet, falling on deaf Thai ears...again.

How stupid is this...

Dear hacker,

Please don't hack our website, it will ruin our beautiful country's image.

In the mean time, all the stalls that sell the same stuff along 2nd road and Beach road goes what...unnoticed?

Actually, there is a rumor floating around that the increase is only for the foreigners and not the Thai themselves. I do not, repeat, do not know if this is true.

My intention is NOT to add fuel to this rumor but, to see if someone can confirm or deny this rumor.

Hey! I've seen these guys before.

Oh, wait...that's my LINE stickers. Nevermind.

A national park fee was introduced but it has emerged this week that most of that went into the hands of influential figures who have robbed hundreds of millions from the state and from the island in protection rackets.

Of course they made millions; Thai entry fee 40baht, foreigner entry fee 200baht (400% more expensive for foreigners)

I am not against dual prices as long as it is reasonable.

Should count her lucky stars that she did not crash into someone more important then her. Otherwise, this whole "treatment in a psychological ward" bovine psychology would not help her at all.

For those wanting to travel to Pattaya from Bangkok, be advised that the mini-vans at Ekamai stops their service at 3pm. You will be directed to the govt bus service window and arrive at the Pattaya Nua bus station instead.

I have yet to find a mini-van service that will drop me off near Victory Monument or Central World area. If anybody knows of one...please share.

The catch: Patrons could use pot as long as it isn't smoked...

I admit that I have not touched the stuff for nearly 30 years, and things may have changed since then but, can someone explain how a person can use pot but not smoke it. Are they going to ask the waiter to bake them special brownies?

I am confused, you can or cannot use the water way for loy krathong?

You think the major cause of accidents is caused by children? Lol

That's not what I am saying. But, good one for spotting my error. LOL

Drivers ed Thai style...and then we wonder why so many road accidents.

If she had hit someone more rich or more popular or more HiSo, the outcome would clearly be very different. We would see the police actually do their jobs quickly.

A good campaign poster for not doing meth I'd say

 

interesting that they tested this girl for drugs and not the BMW girl.....

Because she did not throw herself on the ground and begin chanting, praying and speaking in tongue same as the other girl.

I asked a dozen different Thai drivers (friends of the family) what the difference was with all the yellow separation lines painted on the roads and none of them knew apart from indicating which side was which. Lack of driving school is my guess... Learning from an uncle, father, brother, a relative, etc. only teaches them how to operate a vehicle but only a little bit about regulations.

BANGKOK: -- A RESEARCH centre has been set up to facilitate Thailand’s shift in becoming a “smart country”.

I can have sooooo much fun with this caption but, I am still on my first cup of coffee...
