Thailand’s dangerous road status confirmed – again!
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Pickups are bad but I’ve found the worst for causing accidents to be female motorcyclists wandering across the road without looking. Oftentimes cannot turn head or look in the mirror. Mind boggling. -

What would you tell your 18yo self?
daveAustin replied to Sparktrader's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What would you tell your 18yo self? Go with your gut. -
Careful what you wish for... you have ordered roads and correct parking = home countries. No thanks!

I don't see them voicing much opposition to the ingesting of alcohol either. Let's ban it all, eh. I mean why not the one when the other clouds the mind even more so and also has a knack of killing on a very regular basis. I'm sure that would make Thailand's tolerant Islamic populace happy. The article is typical and basically immaterial. But if the confused government cave and roll this one back for the sake of assuaging the Islamists, doctors (and related big pharma drug pushers), the dinosaurs and irrelevant fuddy duddies, as opposed to laying down rules and regs, it will be a monumental issue for them.

Maybe on the face of it but they are as susceptible to it as any person in any nation. Society and monetary system!

How do you cope with skyrocketing premiums from health insurers?
daveAustin replied to DUS's topic in Health and Medicine
Could you not try to negotiate with them on the premise that you might be inclined to go elsewhere unless they adjust their premium? -
I hope you don't have kids, but thanks for the laugh. Are you a 'teacher' perchance? And, in, if you're country let's say, you could not afford the cost of several uniforms, or your son misinterpreted what the teacher said and said teacher stapled a degrading sign to your son's chest in front of EVERYBODY for whatever trivial reason, that you would be cool with that? Wind your neck in, my friend. If you are a teacher, you should be ashamed of yourself. Quite pathetic and sad really.

Bangkok police was checking for weed
daveAustin replied to problemfarang's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Bit dodgy for cops to be pulling people for carrying (given the high up warnings they've had about making a fuss); I mean one can even board a plane with it in a bag. Perhaps they think they got it from a random vendor. Lighting up in public is of course illegal. -
Bad experience at CW
daveAustin replied to Searat7's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You shouldn't have to make an appt for pick up, since you have the date. Just turn up with PP and wait for them to stamp it... or not. -
Wow, why not write it on their forehead! Will they buy a new shirt? Unbelievable how some of these local teachers carry on... cutting kids' hair off etc. Lucky they didn't mess with the wrong mf's son and get a nice slap for their efforts.

I used to hate him too. This whole liberalisation thing could be a master stroke. Keep the little man happy, reduce prison population, get the drug users onto benign weed, convert some of the alcoholics, make people some money (including himself), quell the protest movement, make the government look cool, p$ss off those guys in the south.

The cannabis debate continues, but can Thailand control it?
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No, it cannot control the debate; there will always be narcissistic, self-centred elements of society that want to stop people from doing something. The best way forward is to 'zone' them out and keep moving along. -
