Yet another hit and run.

Anyone doing this needs to be prosecuted. 

They only mention finding the shooter, however several were stabbed also.

Good they caught her, hopefully a lengthy stay in jail follows.

4.5 billion, I wonder what the actual figure is for corruption yearly?

Considerably more I expect.

So no mention of being banned from driving or losing his taxi license ?

Indeed, in the west that would be automatic. 

Here they would no doubt argue he wasn't driving. Not considering he might well have done that after his little sleep.

That needs to be fixed quickly, I hope those close to the subsidence are insured. 

The figures quoted suggest the Condor flights will be full of tourists that wouldn't have used another airline.

Highly unlikely.

Seeing a life vest used here might be a rare experience. The reason so many drown is that no one teaches them how to swim when a child.

Exactly, we taught our son at an early age, he is one of the few in the village that can swim.

I have only ever seen life vests at holiday resorts, where they are mandatory for all.

These crossings are more a hazard than a help.

However, as with all road related issues, it all comes back to the police not enforcing the laws.

If they did consistently then people would learn. Eventually!

I've already decided if a dog is causing me to crash I won't be swerving and crashing I'll be taking the dog out, discuss

Exactly, anything smaller than me and I  don't risk myself if dangerous.

Blocking traffic in Bangkok, I'm surprised nobody else stopped and got involved. 

This is bad this year, I hope people are prepared. 

Luckily we're far enough away in central Thailand to miss the floods.

If he fell for this scam he shouldn't be allowed out on his own.

More likely it's an insurance scam.

Certainly took there time to arrest her.

I assume the film/photo from the car was from a concerned netizen, more commonly known as a voyeur.

It's a poor image revealing not much really, as its happening in an almost enclosed Phuket tuk tuk only visible from the rear.

Sadly this is not unusual.

That's really unlucky, it's not often you hear of elephant incidents. 

Many people underestimate the power of flood water.

Vehicles get swept away, let alone people.
