Confuscious

I don't know everything about VAT, but in my understanding VAT is a Tax on the ADDED VALUE. As sending something by post or a similar carrier is not adding to the value of the item, there is no VAT to be paid. If the VAT was paid in China, when sending the package to Thailand the VAT paid on China could be reclamed back. Same like when you buy something in thailand and export this to another country, you can reclaim the VAT paid in Thailand back at the airport. Or am I wrong? If Thailand wants to apply an additional IMPORT tax on all postal packages, that's a complete different thing and I am not sure that other countries would be happy with that.

"Can anyone explain this" -> CLICKBAIT POST!!!!! ChrisKC, JimTripper How can the Moderators accept this.

This is the same all over the world. Not only in Thailand. I remember a case where a policeman was murdered by a drunk driver in Belgium and the case was not even reported in the newspapers. The driver was a member of the national football team.

Unfortunately, this taxi driver was not driving a Ferrari. Otherwise he could have done a runner.

There is no image "A" or "B". Most of the posters have figured that out without further questions. The question was why a driver license is not required for a particular image (wheelchair assisted by electric traction) but is required for another image (electric 3-wheeler). When assigning random images to a question they can be named by "A, B, C, etc"

Why are their faces blurred out? Name and shame the lawlifes publicly.

Enough cases publshed about people who go the deatth penalty and were proven innocent later. No way to bring them back to life. But I am for the death penalty the day you face the death penalty and I am willing to fulfill that on you.

The police report and eventual fine depends on the level of the injuries. If the pedestrian will stay less than 14 days in the hospital, the charges against the taxi driver will be "MINOR injuries". If the pedestrian will stay more that 14 days in the hospital, the charges against the taxi driver will be "GRAVE injuries". Also the charges depends on the report of the hospital about the accident. Example.: Will the pedestrian be able to recapitulate work after 2 weeks or not?

2 possibilities for this guy: 1. He goes into exile. 2. He has an accident and dies.

Is that the same NACC who investigated the "watches" case which were given by a "friend"?

There is no "sex-tourism", it is a Buddhist thing.

Exactly

I had 3 accidents with my car, and 1 of them was serious for the other party. On all 3 accidents I let the insurance AND my lawyer handle the case. If I would have left it to the insurance, I would be in fault and pay for everything. Lucky, my lawyer didn't accept the crap from the insurer and I won 3 times But I accepted the offer from the police in the 3rd accident and let my insurance foot the bill (1st class). No big change in my insurance the year after .

You answerred your own question here. The limit of the insurance pay-out would be 3 million baht (according to your post). A few weeks in the ICU can be more expensive as 3 million baht

The normal handling of accidents by the Thai police is to blame the person with the 1-class insurance (experience) and keep everybody happy. As for this particular accident, i would say that as crossing lights are not working the priority rules need to be followed and the car should stop for the motorcycle.

Even with a class #1 car insurance, the payout in case of an accident has a limit. As this guy is in ICU, the costs can reach the top of the payout very easy.

I don't really car how many times a day Thai people eat. But what makes me puke is the way thai people eat. Mouth open and showing how they chew the food to pulp and some of them making loud noises while chewing or slurping the food. Did nobody learn them to eat with their mouth CLOSED?

He was anyhow better off dead after putting himself in fire. He would have been disabled for life.

Reusable bottle, used worldwide during many centuries. And you can use it even for wine.

What was wrong with the old water dispensers? Why did they need to take them out and replace them with plastic bottles? When I grew up, there used to be almost everywhere "free water taps" where you could drink fresh water. People who needed to drink more fluid carried a Tin can with them. Even almost every Spanish used to carry a bottle (bodeja) with fluid with them. As I recall, nobody died from that. "Plastic, the future for mankind", Diatribe of the Green movement in the '70's.

Claiming that reducing the amount of people on a pickup bed will not reduce the number of death/injured people In an accident, shows the IGNORANT you are and not worth to have a discussion with. Thus you admit that reducing the amount of people on a pickup bed will have an impact, although not big, on the amount of dead/injured people in which case I will come to the same conclusion that you are not worth to have a discussion with. Goodbye

Enforcing the law about the number of people in the load area of a pickup is not going to end the road safety problems but it will surely reduce the amount of casualties. The same way as enforcing the law about the number of people on a motorbike or not wearing a helmet. Rome was not build on 1 day.
