Big bike forced off road by car on Bangkok highway - video
Zack61 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
As usual the change of lane was done without using the indicator. I’m not sure why car manufacturers even bother to put indicators in Thai cars. They either use them way too late, or more often, not at all. -
Thai woman accuses renowned lawyer of stealing 1.8 million baht
Zack61 replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
Hard to find an honest one here. They start off as if they are on your side but ultimately sell themselves to the highest bidder and often in cahoots with the opposition team. Reminds me of a joke I was once told about a lawyer. Goes like this. It was so cold yesterday that a lawyer had his hands in his own pockets. -

Elderly Swiss man busted with gun at Phuket Airport

Which leads me to believe he might be a bit touched in the head. Anyone in their right mind would have known they wouldn’t have been able to get away with it. -

British National Killed in Sattahip Motorcycle Accident
Zack61 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
It reminds me of a common roadside sign I used to see in India many years ago. Slow is a four letter word. So is life Speed is a five letter word. So is death By the looks of the photos speed was involved on this occasion. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
Zack61 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If you define socialism as opposition to significant tax breaks to the filthy rich, raising the minimum wage to a liveable wage and offering affordable health care to those unfortunate enough to be on the minimum wage then she is guilty as charged. Sounds like you might be paying her a compliment. -

Fatal Dog Attacks in Thailand Prompt Legal Reevaluation
Zack61 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Stray dogs are a menace, not only can they be aggressive, they are also a road traffic hazard on the congested Thai roads in built up areas. Motorbike riders are more at risk when these dogs are allowed to mix freely amidst traffic flow. Serious attention is required to quell their numbers.- 61 replies

Rising Baht Sparks Fears of Another 'Tom Yam Kung' Crisis
Zack61 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My first hand experience of exporting from Thailand is that the cost of shipping has amplified the problem. Shipping costs exploded during COVID and have not come down and now fewer shipping options are available leaving exporters at the mercy of these costs. I no longer bother engaging in exporting the products I was having manufactured here as I can’t compete with manufacturers of the same product in my home country.- 106 replies

Man Dies After Attack by Mixed-Breed Stray Dogs in Ubon Ratchathani
Zack61 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
These attacks seem to be happening more and more frequently. What a terrible way to die. Authorities need to act on this sooner rather than later. Put aside their Buddhist beliefs and start a culling campaign otherwise these sort of attacks will continue. It’s not just the roads that are deadly but the sois as well. I’ve been told (never tried) that the best way to disable or disperse of a dog in an attack is, if you can, grab both front legs and reef them outwardly apart as hard and as violently as you can. Hope I never have to find out if it works. -
Elderly Woman in Tears at ATM: Receives 10,000 Baht to Support Family
Zack61 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I fear for an elderly lady living in my orbit. Whenever her long lost relatives hear of this she’s likely to get a request for a “loan”. She has such a soft heart I know she won’t be able to say no. I hope I’m wrong. -
