Just saw a doc about the amazing progress in self driving car technology happening now in Silicon Valley. It seems within 10 years this is going to be massive in the U.S., Canada, and I assume Europe, etc.
But driving in Thailand and other "something else" world nations is so different! Talking about the driving culture and the motorcycles going in every direction, etc.
Do you think the car software will EVER be smart enough to deal with Thai conditions? Because the idea is to make things safer ...

Very strange! The crime was committed in Khon Kaen. The investigation has been conducted throughout by Khon Kaen police, and yet the alleged perpetrators are taken to Bangkok to be questioned by the head honcho of Bangkok! Perhaps the Bangkok police couldn't accept that a "rural" division of the RTP had conducted a successful operation!

So the cop let him go. "Don't worry officer, I'll do it tomorrow. Oh, and I'll get those bald tyres renewed tomorrow also".

September is a significant month. They'll be trying hard not to find him before that.

Of course the guy did the wrong thing, but one can imagine the recipient of the neck massage might well have deserved at least that.

Funny how people seem to put so much value on the life of a Thai cop between vehemently accusing them of incompetence.

But why would anyone care who he is if there is nothing on his passport to show him of being of interest.
Maybe because it is their job?
 

Thank you Khaosod for writing the story. The country needs constant reminders of the justice (?) system's continual efforts to 'forget' this case.

What an idiot and putting other lives at risk! Send the driver to prison for a year and we'll see these tragic accidents stop or maybe most of them. Stupid Thai's!

Look at the mammeries on that.. I would bang her sideways.

Their shops are maybe "duty free" but how come I can buy similar products they sell cheaper in a normal shop downtown?

Yes I have considered the snip more then a few times myself too (am still actually). I feel if you make a kid your responsible.. you can of-course ask for an abortion (if within the time ect) but that is up to the mom too. It does not dismiss you from your responsibility.

Brown envelopes just got fatter.

Nine people in the ambulance. Gawd.

 
“It happened at a place where it should never have. There’s no other reason but because those bad guys are still there,” Prayut said. “We have to get rid of these bad people and it’s time for us to get in hands together.”

Maybe the translation isn't perfect, but the passage here doesn't make a lot of sense.  
But then what the man says often doesn't make a lot of sense.  

How about gathering up all people involved in the provision/install/maintenance of cctv cameras around BKK, knocking their collective heads together, and getting them to actually do their jobs competently.
Seems every time there is an event where cctv footage would help, it is of little or no help because the cameras were off, broken, or not working for other reasons. It's pathetic.

Sales declining in the US.
The company should take a good look at their product range therefore.
Maybe Americans are wising up to the fact that there are much better bikes out there. .

The girlfriend obviously arrived at the lockup bearing gifts . . .

3 members of the team were injured. Just desserts.
Sad for the 7 bystanders.

"retaining strict law enforcement".
Pleeeease, give me a break.
Hot air, all of it.

"A passenger van crashed into a road-cleaning truck on the Don Muang-Din Daeng Tollway at just after midday on Monday, killing two passengers and injuring several others."
 
Didn't I just read how lowering the speed limit was going to save lives? 
 
Let's face it. These drivers are dangerous at any speed. 

The worst thing she ever did was to get a nose job.
Definitely no "sexy".

Jesus. What a train wreck. This woman needs serious counselling.
