  1. A new year and the same old empty threats rear their ugly heads yet again. When are these people going to realize that actions speak louder than words. Until they start releasing actual footage of devastated DUI miscreants being marched off to start their prison sentences then these so called stiffer penalties will never be taken seriously.
  2. Obviously safety belt failure. Happens all the time.....when you don't wear one!
  3. A legitimate manufacturer's warranty is perfectly possibly. Although you would almost certainly have to activate it yourself, probably online. A Lazada seller's warranty? Anything longer than a fortnight is generally is very rare. As mentioned above, LazMall sellers or failing that, a LazPick seller are your safest route when buying expensive electronic items on the Lazada platform.
  4. They do catch thousands of drunk drivers. The problem is that the punishments for being caught are nowhere near harsh enough to become a deterrent. And of course, some that are caught just make a phone call to a friend or family member in a high position of authority and get off scot free.
  5. There are no more fees to pay. When you return, you just hand over your passport over to the appropriate officer and sit and wait for them to stamp you passport. Sometimes they may still be waiting for confirmation that your extension has been granted and you will have to return in a couple of days.
  6. Woman C must be one of those unscrupulous taxi drivers who picks up naive tourists from the airport and takes them on a long winded tour when in reality, their hotel is only a kilometer away.
  7. Or alternatively, the kids were messing around with the fireworks unsupervised.
  8. Has anyone ever bothered to tell the owners of the thousands of second hand tyre and wheel shops that are everywhere in Thailand that the safe life of a tyre here is four years? Thought not...
  9. Come on guys, you know you want to! Apparently he comes with a free suit of armor to be worn at all times!
  10. There is a smart car in the photo of the police arresting the Brit tourist in the original article.
  11. Those BMW smart cars are becoming too damn clever. It appears they can now locate overstayers when they are just walking down some random road minding their own business!
  12. I can't speak for your particular immigration office, but there should be no need for an appointment for your second visit. All you have to do is hand your passport over to the appropriate officer and sit and wait. From my experience this can be anything from 10 minutes to an hour max. My local immigration office always recommends that you go in the afternoon to collect your stamp as sometimes the permission may still not have been granted in the morning.
  13. Or in other words, there is too much paperwork and not enough financial incentive involved to prosecute him.
  14. Have you actually met any of them? Or are you just one of those people who just takes to the internet to have a pop at people more successful than yourself?
  15. I'd like to see you roast a chicken in a rice cooker.
  16. I'm not, but then I'm not a snowflake either.
