Most of the trucks are old and not roadworthy, maybe they should look into a nationwide re-inspection and re-education and get someone to enforce the rules. Also why they not get 2nd hand cars/trucks from other asian countries like Japan they still in good quality and very cheap, these relics should be replaced and the import tax slashed for the sake of public safety.

Nice idea, but doing this is going to cost the hi so truck company owner money, TIT ain't gonna happen.....

Dreadful, poor child & poor family, & for all of you playing the blame game on here, may you should take a long look at yourselves & show a little compassion...

They will all have driving licences, will be wearing helmets and be sober

What? just like all the car drivers then???

Thanks I will have a look, & everyone else problem sorted, was a blocked ink feeder pipe...

Ah, got it, it's the black ink, thanks everyone...

yes nozzle check page fine, it also prints photos with no problems, just anything from a word or PDF doc it wont print...

Had to go to Canon Thailand to find the right model but its made no difference... still exactly the same problem...

Already deleted that, its not printing PDF docs either, tried looking at office support which suggests creating a new word template, unfortunately it doesn't explain how to do this, I find any microsoft help for things like this particularly useless, presumably to keep "jobs for the boys", going to try uninstalling the printer driver & reinstalling again... Bloody annoying....

Thanks for the reply, tried this, no difference, what gets me is the printer head is moving back & forth across the page as the paper goes through but no ink is coming out, yet if I print a JPG file no problem, baffling me...

Hi there, I have a less than one year old Canon ip2770 printer that I have used for printing photos & office stuff, since the last windows 10 update I have found that when I try to print anything from word, I'm using office 2007, everything goes through to the printer seemingly ok the printer sounds as though its printing & the paper feeds through but comes out blank. I can still print image files with no problem, Ive updated the driver to the latest which is still not that new but says it's compatible with my version of windows but this has made no difference, has anyone had a similar experience? & does anyone know what might be causing it & any fixes? what mystifies me is that it still prints photos with no problems straight from my pictures but no longer prints word files from the same folder...

Sounds like a crazy law to me, so people on bikes are going to have to do anything up to half an hours detour to get across the river cutting through the middle of Bangkok to, say get to work? So if they have one they're going to jump into their car instead, causing more traffic in a already traffic choked city? wind could occasionally be an issue but there has got to be a better way of dealing with it than this. Also knowing the Thai government's attitude to road safety Im sure this has much more to do with the convenience of car drivers than any safety issues with wind & bikes...

Sad...

I ride a BMW F650GS Dakar & would like ideally for here a BMW F800GS

Can't any of you give the benefit of the doubt and see that possibly things are changing for the better? Yes, the latest incident brought this case back to the fore, and social media has been helping, but in this day and age the police will not be able to continue covering up for the guilty, at least in cases that are brought to the attention of the public.

Take off your rose tinted glasses, The idea of anything actually being changed by the Junta, hand picked by the hi so to make sure nothing actually changes is laughable...

Something else that will never change here, too many gov officials getting backhanders from the sugarcane truck owners etc. for allowing the overloading, can't go rocking the boat now can we.....

Id say no they're not smarter than Thai kids until they've both been to school for a couple of years, but given the shocking state of the Thai education system all the Thai kids actually get more stupid year on year whereas the european kids get more intelligent, so very quickly this changes. it's disgraceful that the Thai government spends so much money on education & produces a system that actually makes the kids more stupid. Of course we all know that a lot of the money spent gets stolen by officials in the ministry of education & the directors & senior teachers. This corruption needs to be stopped before any improvement will be seen but of course TIT & this corruption is so deeply embedded in the culture that nothing will be allowed to happen, plus of course the government & the elite who pull their strings do not want an educated population as the more educated the population are the more likely they are to stand up against their exploitation by the elite.

You can't have educated serfs & peasants, they won't put up with the shit from their lords & masters for ever & sooner or later there would be a very bloody revolution....

Well thats one less that they really didn't need for the local Wat... Might make them a little lighter on brown envelopes though...

Flat block of two dimensions

Neon totem pole to the sky

Keeping scores of people stacked up so high

Above the ground

But all they can hear is the sound

Of the wind in the antennae

It's a human zoo

A suicide machine

Starfish of human blood shape

Tentacles of human gore

Spread out on the pavement

From the 99th floor

Well, somebody said that he jumped

But we know he was pushed

He was just like you might have been

On the 99th floor of a suicide machine

Hi rise, hi rise....

Stuck inside a hi rise block...

I always find it comforting just how many Hawkwind fans there are on ThaiVisa.....

At some point in the rainy season I'd say...

Will have a read, thanks...

Just a thought, if I don't want a image used without my say, (obviously once its on the net you can not stop others also using it on the net)

I resize the photo to something really low resolution before I upload it, then it still looks ok on a PC but is useless for downloading & printing.....

If shes hot blackmail her into sleeping with you and take over the final business when its completed.

What he said... That's the one.....

And also the migrant labourer. I first met them in my own country, their next stop was Sellafield or the Channel Tunnel. We travel the world, earning money from the sweat of our brow and our bold endeavour. I'd post an Andy Stewart song, if I could..

Yes, you're right.

If it's of any interest I once lived in Folkestone and got to know some of the guys who built the tunnel.

PS. I might start a thread soon about awesome sports commentators. I looked at a few goodies on YouTube today and came across some megatroncic rugby commentary. You simply must watch this:

I think he was maybe too partisan to be a truly great commentator

Yes totally partisan, so much so that it works as a great bit of Rugby commentary, magnificently incorrect.....

I'm 53 so I don't think that I'm all that old, I know a few under 50s dotted around Chaiyaphum province,

But I'd say that you really need to have come from the countryside to be able to appreciate living in the sticks here, you will get bored very quickly if youre a city slicker I would think...

Crossing a pedestrian crossing & expecting the traffic to stop for you is fairly high on the list I'd say....
