Yes, there is no much choice in Thailand. But are they allowed to drag a girl on their lap in a wheelchair and driving like Niki Lauda? I saw several of these "Tri-Cycles" with 2 people on it. And this apparently is not limited to Pattaya.

On my 1st accident in Thailand, I hit a pedesstrian (on a Sunday) who was crossing a 6 + 4 lane and stoned drunk. I had no camera at that time and the cameras on the street was out of service. The pedestrian flew about 20 meters away and broke his leg. As this was happening at a crossing with a police booth, police was very quick to handle the case. After the police took notices, I was told to go home and to present myself at the police station the next day. The next day, I went to the police station and the whole family + extended family of the pedestrian was there. The sister, who used to work in Pattaya and spoke some English, asked 300,000 Baht for damages to her brother. The police officer who was handling the case advised me to get a lawyer and let handle the case. Which I did. The lawyer send one of his "female" servants to visit the pedestrian in the hospital and recorded the meeting. He told her that "he was stone drunk and didn't see me". "He was also too drunk to do the stairs of the pedestrian bridge." 2 days later the case was handled at the police station and my insurance agreed to pay 25,000 baht if they dropped the charges. Everybody accepted and the case was closed. The lawyer charged me 15,000 baht for his services. That was the lesson when dealing with the Thai authorities. Get a lawyer and let him handle the case.

I was last week a few days in Pattaya and watched these "vehicles" driving on public roads (the side walks were all occupied by parked motorcycles or selling stands) and many of them were developping a decent speed. My question: is a Driving License required for these vehicles and why/why not? Why is a driving license required for vehicle "A" and not for vehicle "B"?

I read many times stories about all countries opting for the Digital Currency and how this will give the ruling parties a complete control over the citizens. Read many times horror stories about China, where such policy is already implemented and people could find themselves in a situation of poverty just because they spend money on something not acceptable to the ruling party. But that was China, far from my bed. Until I found yesterday this leaflet in my letter box, inviting all citizens of Johoi to "register" for a Digital Health Card (QR-Code). But registering is only possible WITH A PHONE. Seems that citizens are really like Cattle being led to the slaughter house Translated copy of the leaflet:

Forget all the 3rd party applications or paying to youTube (= META). If you have a Tablet, PC or Notebook simply go to the link on top and delete "Ube". The result should be "Yout.com/xxxxxxxxxxx" and brings up a meny to download the file in different formats.

To be fair, I did many times follow the instructions on my Garmin GPS and Google Maps on my phone and if it was not a littlte bit of common sense I would be send on a road to nowhere. Recently, I wanted to visit the main Buddhist center in Korat, but noticed that it was located in the Military domain (although accessible from the main road). The Garmin GPS showed a blank field without roads in the Military zone. Google Maps wanted me to drive around the military zone, but I could nowhere enter the MZ. I used my own common sense and entered the road the Buddhist center easily WITHOUT and GPS.

Criminals who are given the death penalty should be listed as "volunteer" to donate their organs as well. Serving the community.

I am not for the dealth penalty, but in such cases I prefer to carry the Chinese penalty on. Dismember him while still being alive and sell the body parts.

I am so tired of hearing this. If you want to buy a second hand car ONLY because it's cheaper, go ahead. When I was looking for a second hand car, I fixed a budget and went to the second hand car dealers. I found several cars, younger as mine, at a better price. Asked for a copy of the car book and went to the dealer where the car was purchased. The car NEVER went to a dealer for a check. Asked the insurance company about the car and the car was involved in 1 or more crashes. You like to buy cheap? You will be paying the cheapo car very dear.

Any tech-savy mobile phone shop is able to take the memory chip out of your phone and read the contents of the memory chip (there are programs to do that). Fingerprint, facial scan, etc. are not a guarantee that your information would be safe. And surely not nowadays where that information could be easily faked with AI. https://flashfixers.com/recover-data-dead-phone-chip-off-data-recovery/ I "cracked" the memory of the mobile from someone and you would be astonished if you know what was in there. Even files which had been deleted a years ago were easy to access. The only way to protect yourself is to go ASAP to your bank and cancel your bank account if your phone is stolen. Second, avoid storing any information on your phone that could be used against you. If possible, use a "phone wipe" utility to reset your phone's memory (Google). Don't forget that your phone is linked to your accounts (Mail, Google, Microsoft, etc.) and it is very easy for a hacker to access this information once your phone gets stolen (saved passwords).

I was thinking to bring my car to a "Confiscated Vehicles / Auction" place, but I have never done that before. I was a few years ago on such an auction and there were cars of every age and every brand for auction. Some of these cars on auction were ready for the scrapyard. In Korat, this is almost every month. But expect to get at least 50% less that the price in mind. Also, most of the auction money goes to the auctioner for his costs.

I had that option already in mind, leave the car with a trusted friend and hit the road. I have no doubt the the friend would send me the money (minus expenses) when the car would be sold. But I would rather not involve anybody in this. What is a "tent"?

I want to sell my car asap to leave Thailand. Problem is that I can not wait unti a possible buyer would show up. In my country, there are a lot of car resellers who are willing to sell your car and sometimes to buy your car. In Thailand, I know that there are companies like "Car for Cash" which are giving money for your car. But I doubt that they would be interested in an older model. What other options do I have to sell me car fast?

The same goes for a lot of other breeds (Doberman) and owners of a Lion as a pet. The animal is only serving as an extension of their dick (status)

If you are talking about my PA insurance, the premium increase was only the Age increase as listed in their insurance. No other increase. I have no burglar insurance on the house I rent, but I have a fire insurance and an Insurance for my belongings by flood or a fire.

In most countries, one can only get a firearm AFTER PROOFING that he/she is capable of handling the firearm. In most countries, one can only get a drivers license AFTER PROOFING that he/she is capable of handling a vehicle. In most countries, one can only operate a machine AFTER PROOFING that he/she has learned all the safety rules to operate that machine. It would not be that difficult to allow the ownership of an animal AFTER PROOFING that he/she has learned how to handle the animal and eventually pass an annual test.

Almost every car/motorbike insurer let you bend the insurance to your needs. I have Viriyah for my car insurance and I adjusted the hospital claim from the standard 200K baht to 500K baht. The difference in price is worth the hassle when it comes to an accident. I have also a PA policy with MTL and I am glad I took it almost 10 years ago. Had a few accidents in all these years (not car/motorbike accidents but dog attacks and house accidents) and the footed the bill without discussion.

It would be far easier to put down anti-social nobheads like him and let the dogs grow up in a peaceful and loving family. Why some people in this group always put the blame on the dogs is way beyong belief.

The "Perpetrator" is a member of the RTP. Everything will be swept under the carpet after a week, the boy and his mother will be get the message that they better keep quit about the matter and life goes on the beautiful Land of Smiles. Just my 2 cents input in this thread ....

Thai people does care when something like this happens. But they have a different approach to it. Wish the "Ped" bad luck will backfire on you and Karma will send back luck to you in double. That's why Thai people will never wish you bad luck. They let Karma get the guy.
