I don't know, but why don't people slow down when there is poor lighting in the area... are they dumb, careless or both?

They don't get the concept of defensive driving. It's all about being fastest and first. No consideration for others.

50 to 60% capacity means also 40 to 50% empty. Don't know how much their operation cost is, but it seems like very tight margins....

So? I'm talking about people having sex in public, which part you can't understand?

Seen that in Thailand too. Admittedly 15 years ago..... part of a stage performance.  Would not go to look for it though, but did not bother me too much. 

Dont think he fell asleep. My guess is he was distracted and focussed on either the radio, gps, phone, beverage, cigarette or whatever else can distract driving.

RIP

60 M over 5 month for Phi Phi avarages 1,000 tourists at 400 baht per day. Sounds entirely plausible. 

According to the protesting boat operators the number of tourists went down. If at the same time total revenue went up, it seems to indicate some holes in the system were plugged....

I need to see it to believe it.... 40 sounds good to me.

Just tried this, as I wanted a new card with chip. DOES not work for us. "Applicant MUST be THAI citizen" message comes up.

555...At least you got some kind of notification in advance.  My True ADSL just went dead...no warning whatsoever. After 2 days calling CS, a rep told me new lines were being installed and I would get a new Fiber/VDSL connection in 6 days, so 8 days, no service.

When I was finally re-connected, I received 30/5 Fiber/VDSL and so far, so good.  

Same here. Went off on a Saturday while back, but got it fixed on a Tuesday... All good, but was pretty miffed about not being told in advance and having to call several times to get somebody to install new fiber line and modem. The installation is done by subcontractor to true. They seem to be completely overwhelmed with the work load...

Sorry, I forgot undertaking is not actually illegal here.......as Sumrit has pointed out......

Clearly the taxis fault here in Thailand. From what I see the taxi boxed in the pickup.  

No foresight and anticipation on either side mind you.

I too would like to know if and when Bail is returned. Also would love to know the outcome of her immigration appointment. Guess it is just a formality for convicted criminals, but who knows what will come of it.

With the baht gaining strenght, imported goods should become cheaper. Why am I not seeing this happen?

Rare or medium rare, depending on the cut.

What a terrible accident. RIP.
still cannot fathom the physics. Looks like the car overcame 3 obstacles, the thing on the floor, the concrete and the guard rail. There could not have been much speed involve. How much can one really accelerate in one yard?
Can anybody calculate mass * speed= force? Even a relatively flimsy rail should have given the driver enough time to switch gears, no? I am asking here, not speculating or making a statement. Just dont know.

Some foods just look naturally appalling. Every once in a while I like some corned beef hash, but realistically the appearance is always something between dog food and vomit.
Botched western food could fill entire forums. What exactly was revolting and why was the EB's inedible to you?

On a positive note at least they know there is a problem and try to solve it.
Better solution to me would be a speedlimit enforced by cameras and automatic fining.

No harm done. Restaurant gets popularity for Tom Cruise endorsed chicken.... thumbs up.

The pickup is clearly at fault for overtaking in that situation. Never the less both reacted kinda slow.

Ko Samed national Park is exactly the same.
200 THB for foreign adults and 100 THB for foreign children.
For Thais it's 40 THB for adults and 20 THB for children.

It's ALL about the principle, Land of smiles they say, sure we understand why !!!
Outrages and completely wrong!

I'm over 20 years married with a Thai lady and have 2 children, they all can enter under the Thai rate but the moron asked me to pay the foreign fee, <deleted>!

 

Know exactly how you feel. Was in the same situation. I think what makes it worst is that koh samed really does not portrait the image of a national park..... 

Fees could be build into the hotel rates. 

Another amazing expirience we had was driving through khao yai. We were 3 thais and one foreigner in the car. As I drove the car, the rate for the vehicle was the foreigner rate....

 

 

 

And I thought my 1 hour waiting at immigration two weeks ago was unreal.... had just a short flight, so no priority lane....

I like how - according to TV members - every proposition of the Thai government always is a risk for the tourism...

 

Seriously, ithis could have an impact mainly on the sex-tourists that frequent the beer bars in the red-zones, and so it could be a good thing (IMHO) but even if Thailand would decide to globally forbid beer, there would be still millions of real-tourists willing to visit the country.

But would they come back? 

I hear you and agree, majority of tourists are not deterred by increased alcohol prices. The ones that eventually might not return are people on avarage budgets, who come regularly once a year or so. They might look at Spain, Mexico or anywhere nearer to home and cheaper.

Yes walking street is not for shopping its an party entertainment zone nightlife redlight district..u probably better of in your isaarn village where the only entertainment venue in a radius of 15 km is the 7/11.

Exactly, an elaborated red light district. What makes you think Issan village? Never been there. Prefer Bangkok, Hua Hin, even Bang Saen for that matter.
Nothing wrong with Pattaya, if that is what one is looking for. I just dont recommend it for family with kids.

I made a mistake a couple years back and went to walking street with the family.  The place is definately not for shopping..... we were not impressed and frankly I felt bad about exposing the kids to that scenery. 

Understand however the attraction for younger folks and singles.....

Nobody can win in a situation like this. I know its hard to keep calm, but in the interest of not getting shot, suggest to stay passive. 

Dashcam is a must these days. 

I wonder when the Island will be declared Magic mushroom Full moon party capital of the world. 

Why is the place not cleaned up? I mean everyone knows what is going on there and the full moon parties are infamous. Just google it. 

 

Rest in peace .

Still putting someone in jail for feeding fish is ridiculous.
I am all for protecting the invironment, but there needs to be a balance between the "crime" and punishment. Fine her 2,000 baht and spread the story.
