It's because being accountable and excepting responsibility for something that you personally own and maintain are extremely rare here. When accidents happen, it is always someone else's fault.

This story would not be newsworthy if this had been a Thai person who was infected and had traveled to their village to visit family.

Parental consent?? My wife recently received a phone call from our grandson's school basically saying that vaccines for the kids were now available but if we decline the offer then he will not be allowed to attend school! He is six years old. I'm absolutely livid about this, and I'm no anti-vaxxer.

Do Thais like to dance? From my experience of living in a rural environment, Thais love to dance and do so at every given opportunity. Whether it be traditional dancing in groups at functions, contemporary dancing to the cheesy entertainment at events such as weddings or dancing in the road in front of a slow moving pickups weighed down by huge speakers, they basically can't get enough of showing their moves.

Try Federbrau, a Thai/German lager supposedly brewed using only natural ingredients and complying with the German purity laws of 1516.

Hopefully, Covid will eventually mutate itself into extinction....

Whatever happened to using your eyes whilst driving? It is clearly a thing of the past for some....

It's the smart phone generation. Kids playing physical games like they used to do are, for the most part a thing of the past.

If you are lucky enough to find your true soulmate then it should be immaterial how old she is. Only people who are incredibly shallow will be concerned with such trivialities as their loved one's age.

I'm sure Pfizer are already working on tweaking their vaccine to give better protection of new the variants. And anyway, aren't the symptoms of Omicron supposed to be milder?

I've found that Thais tend to wai on autopilot when they meet someone new. Their hands are up quicker than a western gunslinger can draw his pistol!! Lets face it, it has been ingrained into them since they were small children. I'm normally way to slow to wai first!

Only Lazada, COD. Seller ratings are something I check rigorously before making my selection.

1 am on what day?

What about Chang Expresso?

Charged with negligent driving? What does that even mean here? A slap on the wrist and then told to not do it again? R.I.P the the deceased.

I would add zero patience to your list. Running red lights, moving forward before the lights turn green and overtaking on a bend or the brow of a hill are all really common examples of this.

I doubt the police have any time to read internet forums. They are too busy clearing up after all of the endless accidents.

He must have been wearing his lucky amulet...!!! Maybe they should start hanging an amulet around every power pole that is near a road in Thailand. That way the drivers might start missing them.

It is sometimes...

Just the tip of the iceberg. There will be many more out there doing exactly the same thing. He should be banned from commercial driving for life. But the reality is that after paying a small fine he will be back driving next week his van next week.

I knew someone who rather foolishly withdrew some money from his bank account during his under consideration period and was called in early by immigration and told that his marrage extension had been refused because his account balance had dropped below 400k. A few years ago I had a slightly unnerving experience renewing my marriage extension at CM. The female officer was clearly trying to find a problem with my paperwork and was not going to be content and until she did. First of all, she told us we needed to have the official certificate showing that my wife had changed her surname to mine! To her clear annoyance, I had the certificate with me in my folder. I always take it with me just in case although we have never been asked for it before that day or since for that matter. Then, on reading the Kor Ror 2, she noticed that my wife had been married before. So turned to my wife and said she needed a copy of her divorce certificate, which we didn't have. By now I was beginning to smell something fishy... Anyway, she made us return the following day (about a two hour round trip) with a copy of the divorce certificate before she would give me the under consideration stamp.

I also live just outside Sanpatong and 16C is positively balmy compared to some of the cool season morning temps we have had to endure in previous years. Below 10C first thing in the morning with low lying fog was quite common when I first moved here 12 years ago.

This needed to change years ago. Most of the important information they have on us is all held on computer and doesn't change from year to year. The only photocopies you should have to submit evey year are for your financial requirements.

And there was me thinking he would be up for promotion.... Personally, I'd give him a job directing traffic in the middle of Thailand's most dangerous highway..

Just so you know, you can buy ceiling fans that come with a remote control so you don't need to worry about switches. https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1035791
